Bangladesh Protests: Mamata Banerjee Offers Shelter to ‘Those in Distress’ as Death Toll Crosses 130

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Sunday that the Trinamool Congress-led state government would provide shelter to people fleeing violence in Bangladesh if they seek refuge in Bengal.

"I cannot speak anything about Bangladesh as it is another country. The Indian government will speak about that. But if helpless people (from Bangladesh) knock on Bengal's door, we will give them shelter. There is a resolution of the UN.

In a powerful speech, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement, hailed Iran as a "true supporter" of the Palestinian cause and oppressed nations. He commended Iran's unconditional support for Palestinians, noting that the Islamic Republic remains resolute despite U.S. and Israeli pressure. Al-Houthi also warned of a dramatic escalation in anti-Israel operations alongside the Iraqi Islamic Resistance. He asserted that Netanyahu is attempting to rally Arab regimes against both Palestinians and Iran, and reaffirmed Iran's commitment to the Palestinian cause while condemning Israel's aggression. The Ansarullah leader disclosed details of joint operations between Yemeni forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, revealing that Iraq has targeted Israeli locations with advanced Arqab cruise missiles. He mentioned that Yemeni forces have initiated the fifth phase of their anti-Israel strikes with Operation Yafa, which surprised Israel and struck crucial targets in Tel Aviv.

Biden’s U-turn: U.S. Sending Israel Some Heavy Bombs That Biden Had Withheld | Trouble For Rafah? [Video]

Biden’s U-turn: U.S. Sending Israel Some Heavy Bombs That Biden Had Withheld | Trouble For Rafah?

The Biden administration has released approximately half of the shipment of heavy bombs that had been withheld from Israel since May, according to a US official speaking to The Times of Israel. The decision to withhold the bombs was initially made due to concerns that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would use them in densely populated areas of Gaza, potentially causing mass-civilian casualties. In May, the White House announced it would withhold a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. President Joe Biden warned that additional offensive weaponry would be frozen if Israel launched a major military offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where over one million Palestinians were sheltering at the time.
