"US Policy Shift on Israeli Settlements in West Bank Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"
TL;DR
The United States has reversed a Trump-era policy and now considers new Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories to be "inconsistent with international law," marking a return to a longstanding U.S. position. Meanwhile, U.N. human rights experts urge nations to stop exporting arms to Israel, citing potential war crimes in Gaza. Additionally, a cargo ship struck by a Houthi missile in the Red Sea is partly submerged but still afloat, prompting concerns about arms transfers and maritime security in the region.
