As
Israel has carried out its military operation against Hamas
over the past five weeks – first with airstrikes, and now a
ground operation – the United States has stood resolutely by
its side. But, as Middle East expert Ian Parmeter writes,
there are now signs of tension emerging between Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and the Biden
administration.
When
Israeli troops first encircled Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, US
President Joe Biden made his concerns known, saying “hospitals
must be protected”. Troops are now reported to have entered
the hospital, leading to ever growing pressure for steps to be
taken to manage the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Some of
this is coming from the US, which is increasingly concerned
about rising civilian casualties and an apparent lack of an
exit strategy. Biden and Netanyahu may be on a collision
course, Parmeter says.
The
UK supreme court yesterday ruled against the British
government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. Five
judges said the deportation plan could lead to refugees being
returned to their countries of origin where they risk facing
persecution. Devyani Prahbat explains
what happens next. |

automatically make the Rwanda plan lawful or easier to
implement. |
