But the statement adds to pressure on Israel, which previously resisted U.S. calls for a “humanitarian pause.”“All parties must allow unimpeded humanitarian support for civilians, including food, water, medical care, fuel and shelter, and access for humanitarian workers,” said the statement, hammered out by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Italy. “We ...

Members of the Montgomery County Council are demanding that the Silver Spring-based immigrant rights group CASA retract a statement it posted, then removed, on social media that was critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza.The statement Monday by CASA Executive Director Gustavo Torres said the nonprofit group stands in “steadfast solidarity with the people of Palestine.”The statement accused Israel of “systematic ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.” While it condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas in Israel, it charged that Israel has unleashed “the heinous practice of terror” in Gaza.

Kosovo says it is setting up an institute to document Serbia’s crimes in the 1998-1999 war

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:49:11 GMT

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo is setting up an institute to document Serbia’s crimes against its population in the 1998-1999 war, the country’s prime minister said Wednesday.Albin Kurti said the institute would document the war crimes so “the Kosovar Albanians’ tragic history suffered at the hands of criminal Serbia is more widely known.”The war between Serbia and Kosovo killed more than 10,000 people, mostly Kosovo Albanians. It ended after a 78-day NATO bombing campaign that compelled Serbian forces to withdraw from Kosovo.Kosovo declared independence in 2008 — a move Belgrade refuses to recognize.“Wounds are still fresh,” said Kurti, adding that more than 1,600 bodies are still missing. He accused Serbia of burying them in unmarked graves and refusing to share their whereabouts.Fourteen years after the end of the war, tensions between Kosovo and Serbia remain high, raising fears among Western powers of another conflict as the war in Ukraine rages on.Normalization tal...
