🤔 Israeli Emigration Levels Reach “Unprecedented Number” - Jerusalem Post

Some 55,400 people left the country last year - marking a sharp uptick from the annual average of 37,100 over the previous decade.

The trend has continued into 2024, with 40,600 Israelis having already emigrated in the first seven months of the year.

A substantial portion of those leaving are young adults in their 20s and 30s, who make up about 40% of emigrants despite representing only 27% of the population.

😳Israeli Rights Groups Warn IDF Could be Implementing Plan to “Besiege” Northern Gaza

Israel has ordered the entire remaining population of the northern third of Gaza, estimated at around 400k people, to evacuate to the south and has blocked aid entering the area since the start of the month, according to the World Food Programme.

This has raised fears that Israel intends to implement a plan devised by former generals in which it would order all civilians out of northern Gaza and label anyone remaining there a combatant - a surrender-or-starve strategy that rights groups say would violate international law.

A statement by Israeli rights groups say there are “alarming signs” that Israel is beginning to implement it.

The statement, signed by B’Tselem, Gisha, Yesh Din and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, warns that states “have an obligation to prevent the crimes of starvation and forcible transfer.”

The UN should remove its peacekeepers from their posts to “keep out of harm’s way,” the Israeli PM has warned.

“The charge that Israel deliberately attacked UNIFIL personnel is totally false,” he added.

Meanwhile, Beijing has said it will take ‘additional measures’ to strengthen the peacekeeping troops in Lebanon - strongly condemning Israeli attacks on the UN Interim Force. (Analodu)

How the Israel lobby got Hezbollah banned in Britain

"Labour’s Lord Glasman declared his interest as a member of LFI before disputing Polak’s position on Hezbollah.
Glasman told parliament Hezbollah had been on “a remarkable journey over the last 20 years: it has joined the political and democratic process; it is the largest single party in Lebanon and got 300,000 votes, which is 100,000 more than any other party; and it has played a key role in brokering a broad-based coalition government there.”
He added: “It has not been mentioned today, but Hezbollah played a significant role in restoring the synagogue in Beirut…I ask the House to reflect that maybe it would be foolish to block conversation and possible negotiation with Hezbollah.”

🔴Warning Shots Fired after DPRK Blows Up Roads Linking it to South Korea

Seoul has condemned Pyongyang after it destroyed roads linking the countries Tuesday, in another blow to bilateral ties on the increasingly tense peninsula.

The South’s joint chiefs of staff said its military had fired “retaliatory” warning shots near the border after the North blew up sections of road.

The North has laid fresh mines, erected anti-tank barriers and deployed missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads along the border this year.
