#REPORT | Israeli settlers attacked the house of Palestinian human rights defender Issa Amro - breaking the lock, hurling stones and damaging a CCTV camera. Soldiers were present, and instead of holding the settlers accountable, they tried to arrest Issa and confiscated his phone.

GB News viewers more likely to wrongly believe net migration to UK rising, study finds

#Starmer welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza, describing it as a "moment of profound relief" that will allow people displaced in Gaza to "return to their homes".
