Israeli troops and tanks roll into Gaza

Published

on

Israel said its ground forces had made a big push into Gaza overnight to attack Hamas targets.

The United States and other countries are urging Israel to delay a full invasion; Gaza is reeling from almost three weeks of Israeli bombing triggered by a mass killing spree in southern Israel by Iranian-backed Hamas, which runs the besieged enclave.

Other Iranian-backed groups have since attacked Israel and U.S. forces elsewhere in the region; Western leaders fear that a ground invasion with a high death toll among Palestinian civilians, who have already been killed in large numbers by Israeli air strikes, could spark a wider war.

U.S. President Joe Biden held a call with Netanyahu, discussing “ongoing efforts to locate and secure the release” of Americans believed held hostage by militants in Gaza, the White House said overnight.

Israel said there were 224 hostages. Hamas has threatened to kill some of those it holds, who include many foreign passport holders, but has freed four since Friday. Gaza began receiving a small amount of aid the following day.

The White House said Biden and Netanyahu also discussed safe passage for other foreigners wishing to leave Gaza, a continuous flow of aid into the narrow coastal strip, and a pathway to permanent peace with the Palestinian people.

“The President reiterated that Israel has every right and responsibility to defend its citizens from terrorism and to do so in a manner consistent with international humanitarian law,” the statement said.

The comments reflect a balancing act over U.S. support for Israel’s actions after Biden was criticised for casting doubt on Palestinian casualty figures.

Netanyahu, who has suggested repeatedly that a ground invasion is imminent, told citizens in an address on Wednesday evening: “I will not elaborate on when, how or how many.”

Israeli army radio said the military had overnight staged its biggest incursion into northern Gaza in the current war against Hamas, which Israel has vowed to eliminate.

The military later released video on X showing armoured vehicles crossing the highly fortified barrier from Israel and blowing up buildings “in preparation for the next stages of combat”.

“Tanks and infantry struck numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts,” it said.

Palestinians in Gaza said Israeli air strikes had pounded the territory again overnight and people living in central Gaza, near the Bureij refugee camp and east of Qarara village, reported intensive tank shelling all night.

Carney’s Liberals poised for Canadian election victory

Mark Carney’s Liberals projected to win Canadian election, promising economic reform and a robust stance against Trump.

In Short

Canadians are likely to re-elect Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, aiming to tackle economic challenges and U.S. relations.

Carney’s leadership has gained voter support, positioning him against Conservative rhetoric and focusing on strengthening Canada’s economy and trade ties.

Canadians are projected to retain the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney in the recent national elections.

Carney, a former central banker, is expected to address economic challenges and respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims about Canada’s economy.

The Liberals aim for a fourth term, although it is uncertain if they will secure a majority. Carney took over as Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau’s resignation earlier this year.

The Conservatives were leading by over 20 points in January but the political landscape shifted after Trump’s return. Carney positioned himself as the candidate capable of managing relationships with the U.S. and rebuilding Canada’s economy, which heavily depends on American demand.

Leadership skills

Polling data indicated a turning tide for the Liberals, as voters appreciated Carney’s leadership skills. After a conversation with Trump, Carney mentioned plans to discuss a new economic and security agreement post-election.

He plans to increase military investment while maintaining Canadian sovereignty on key issues like resources and language laws.

Carney has emphasised the need to enhance trade ties with Europe and Asia, aiming to reduce barriers within Canada. With his background in finance during critical periods, he aims to bring confidence back to the economy through tax reforms and targeted spending.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative rhetoric reportedly alienated some voters, amplifying support for Carney as the viable choice against Trump’s influence.
