UN rapporteur calls for global action to stop 'genocide' in Gaza

UN rapporteur calls for global action to stop 'genocide' in Gaza

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) —The United Nations' special rapporteur for Gaza and the West Banksaid Tuesday that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop what she called the "genocide" in Gaza. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia's capital to discussthe Israel-Hamas warand ways that nations can try to stop Israel's military offensive in the territory. Many of the participating nations have described the violence as genocide against the Palestinians. "Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the State of Israel ... and ensure its private sector does the same," Albanese said. "The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal." The two-day conference organized by the governments ofColombiaandSouth Africais being attended mostly by developing nations, although the governments of Spain, Ireland and China have also sent delegates. Israel, which was founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust, has adamantly rejected genocide allegations against it as an antisemitic "blood libel." Analysts say it's not clear whether the conference's participating countries have enough leverage over Israel to force it to change its policies in Gaza, where more than 58,000 people have been killed in Israeli military operations following a deadly Hamas attack on Israel in 2023. The death toll comes from the health ministry, which is under Gaza's Hamas government and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties. "The United States has so far failed to influence Israel's behavior … so it is naive to think that this group of countries can have any influence over (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's behavior or on the government of Israel," said Sandra Borda, a professor of international relations at Bogota's Los Andes University. She said, however, that the conference will enable some nations of the Global South to clarify their position toward the conflict and have their voices heard. The conference is co-chaired by the governments of South Africa and Colombia, which last year suspended coal exports to Israeli power plants, and includes the participation of members of The Hague Group, a coalition of eight nations that earlier this year pledged to cut military ties with Israel and to comply with an International Criminal Court arrest warrant againstNetanyahu. For decades, South Africa's ruling African National Congress party has compared Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank with its own history of oppression under the harsh apartheid regime of white minority rule, which restricted most Blacks to "homelands" before ending in 1994. South Africa's current argument is rooted in the sentiment that Palestinians have been oppressed in their homeland as Black South Africans were under apartheid. The gathering comes as the European Union weighs various measures against Israel that include a ban on imports from Israeli settlements, an arms embargo and individual sanctions against Israeli officials, who are found to be blocking a peaceful solution to the conflict. Colombia's Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Mauricio Jaramillo said Monday that the nations participating in the Bogota meeting, which also include Qatar and Turkey, will be discussing diplomatic and judicial measures that can be taken to put more pressure on Israel to cease its attacks. The Colombian official described Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as an affront to the international order. "This is not just about Palestine" Jaramillo said in a press conference. "It is about defending international law… and the right to self determination."

DOJ cuts its multilingual services to help 'promote assimilation' of English

The Department of Justice is cutting its multilingual services that it has classified as "non-essential," according to new guidance released by the agency. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the move aligns with President Trump's executive order declaring English as the official language of the United States. Bondi said the department's goal is to "eliminate wasteful virtue-signaling policies across government agencies to promote assimilation over division." RELATED STORY |Trump to sign order Friday designating English as the official language of the US The plans include redirecting resources toward "English language education and assimilation," the department said. The decision reverses an executive order signed in 2000 by then-President Bill Clinton that directed federal agencies to enhance access to government programs for people with limited English proficiency.

Northeast Flooding: 2 Killed In New Jersey, NYC Subway Stations Inundated

Slow-moving storms dropped heavy rain across the Northeast on Monday, causing flash floods that submerged New York City subway stations, swamped roads and delayed or canceled hundreds of flights at multiple airports.

Map said, "To lose four residents in such a short span of time is unimaginable. We mourn with the families, and we remain committed to doing all we can to strengthen our emergency response systems and protect our residents from future harm." More than 2 inches of rain fell in about an hour in New York City on Monday evening. Dramatic video showed floodwaters roaring into multiple subway stations in Manhattan. Passengers shared video from inside trains as they watched platforms go underwater. As a result, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority suspended service on several lines. Above ground, Central Park recorded 2.64 inches of rain.Weather.comsenior meteorologist Jon Erdman said that was their heaviest day of rain since March 23, 2024, when the area received 3.66 inches.

Westchester County, north of the city, was hit hard and floodwaters got at least waist-high in some areas. Some drivers had to be rescued from vehicles inundated by water.
