- 02:06Turkey to stop trade with Israel until Gaza ceasefireReuters VideosSTORY: Turkey has become the first of Israel's key partners to halt trade over the conflict in Gaza. Trade Minister Omer Bolat said on Friday (May 3) Ankara would not resume the trade with Israel until a permanent ceasefire and humanitarian aid for Gaza are secured. This was Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan: "All of the West is working for Israel. Starting with America, they are all working for Israel. All these means are being mobilized to unfortunately condemn the waifs and strays, the poor and the have-nots of Palestine, to death in the face of Israel's bombs. We could not have remained patient in the face of these, so we took our steps. There was a trade volume of $9.5 billion between us." Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz criticized the suspension, saying it breaks international trade agreements, and calling it "how a dictator behaves." The militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, praised the decision as brave and supportive of Palestinian rights. Last month, Turkey curbed exports of steel, fertilizer and jet fuel among other products over what it said was Israel's refusal to allow Ankara to take part in aid air-drops over Gaza. All remaining trade is now halted. Turkey has denounced Israel's military campaign in Gaza and sent thousands of tons of aid for Gazans. This week it said it would join South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Turkey's commercial ties with Israel had prompted a domestic backlash and hurt the ruling AK Party in local elections in March. Turkish exporters with firm orders are now looking for ways to send their goods to Israel via third countries, four export company owners told Reuters. They said the decision had caught them by surprise.7 hours ago

- 00:41Police seen charging into Portland State UniversityReuters VideosSTORY: Officers entered the Portland State University library on Thursday morning, where demonstrators had barricaded themselves since Monday (April 29). Several dozen protesters ran out of the building as a phalanx of officers in riot gear rushed over to arrest them. Police made more arrests later on Thursday night as demonstrators attempted to retake it. A university spokesperson described it as a "very fluid situation." The protests across U.S. universities follow the deadly Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip, which killed 1,200 people and saw dozens taken hostage, and an ensuing Israeli offensive that has killed about 34,000, according to Palestinian authorities, and created a humanitarian crisis.14 hours ago

- 02:42Hunger stalks north Gaza though bakeries bring breadReuters VideosSTORY: "I'm a woman on my own with young girls to feed," says Asmaa al-Belbasi. This is how desperate she and other Gazans are for bread: she walks daily through the dangerous landscape of north Gaza, reduced to rubble by Israeli strikes... and where sporadic fighting breaks out between Israeli forces and Hamas militants. Aid agencies say famine still looms here though some bakeries have reopened and supplies are improving. It's an hour to the bakery and an hour home, she says. "We need to get to this area but can't by car because the roads are all blocked with rubble from strikes. The sun beats down and you find a long queue there from the morning and you're exhausted by the time you return - all for some bread." Restoring Gaza's bakeries and ensuring a regular supply of flour, water and fuel will be crucial to stopping famine. The first bakery re-opened mid-April using flour and fuel provided by the World Food Programme. Hundreds of people stood in line among the ruins and the bakers had to employ stewards to maintain order. Out of five run by Kamel Ajour Bakeries, it's the only one back up and running. Though the need is so high they're running a 24-hour operation, says the bakery's administrator Karam Ajour. "We suffered a lot of damage - more than 80 percent of our equipment across all our branches in the Gaza Strip. But with God's help, as much as possible, we were able to retrieve some of it and operate to provide for the people and produce bread.” Belbasi says she waits at least 20 minutes each day for two bags of flatbread, a staple for Gazans, which she needs for her children and other relatives. "What can we do," she says. There's no transport and no one to help her. Back at home, the girls are waiting anxiously for her safe return. And to eat. Pockets of famine are emerging in Gaza and children have died from malnutrition and dehydration. Even Israel's closest allies have increased pressure on it to do more to let in food. BELBASI: "Before they reopened the bakeries, we would get corn flour which you couldn't knead, it was like a log, it would come out like a biscuit. After a day or two it'd be difficult to eat." Israel has blockaded Gaza for months but aid started to flow in higher volumes into northern Gaza since it opened a new crossing point. But aid agencies warn it is still nowhere near enough and the WFP said last week northern Gaza is still heading towards famine.2 days ago

- 01:41In Israel, Blinken urges for sustained aid into GazaReuters VideosSTORY: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Wednesday (May 1). The U.S. diplomat pushed for more aid into Gaza, while urging Palestinian Islamist group Hamas to accept a deal that would halt fighting and bring some hostages home from the enclave. Israel is the final stop on Blinken's seventh Middle East tour since conflict broke out on Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked southern Israel. It comes a month after U.S. President Joe Biden issued a stark warning that Washington's policy could shift, if Israel fails to take steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. Blinken reiterated on Wednesday that the U.S. position is that Hamas was "standing in the way of a ceasefire", according to the State Department. He has urged the group to accept what he called "an extraordinarily generous" truce deal proposed by Egyptian mediators. The deal would see 33 hostages released in exchange for a larger number of Palestinian prisoners and a halt to the fighting in Gaza, with the possibility of a more comprehensive deal later. A senior official for Hamas said the group was still studying the proposed deal but accused Blinken of failing to respect both sides and described Israel as the real obstacle. Blinken's trip to Israel comes amid growing speculation that Israel will soon launch a long-promised assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. More than one million Palestinians displaced from their homes further north are sheltering there.2 days ago
