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. Speaking at a mega 'Martyrs' Day' rally in Kolkata, Banerjee emphasized the humanitarian duty to aid those in need, referencing the United Nations' resolution on refugee protection. "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. Neighbours will respect refugees," Banerjee declared amid heavy rain.

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.
