At least four people killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza despite ‘ceasefire’

Published

on

Israeli forces keep advancing further into western Gaza, slowly expanding the area of their control in the east.

Israeli attacks have killed at least four Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, according to medics and local health officials, despite a “ceasefire” agreed last October.

Medics said one person was killed in an air attack near the central village of al-Mughraq, while two others were killed by gunfire and shelling near Gaza City. In southern Gaza, health officials said Israeli forces shot a 40-year-old woman dead in Khan Younis.

This comes after the Israeli military claimed, without providing evidence, that its forces had killed several Hamas fighters in Gaza since Friday.

Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Gaza City, said three Palestinians were shot by a quadcopter drone near the al-Kuwait roundabout and close to the so-called Netzarim Corridor, an area dividing northern and southern Gaza.

“There have also been daily violations and breaches against people here – daily air strikes, drones constantly buzzing in the sky, and the yellow blocks are advancing further into the Gaza Strip,” she said, referring to markers delineating the area controlled by the Israeli army.

Her comments came as Israeli forces continued expanding the “Yellow Line”, where Israel has partitioned Palestinian territory into separate zones. An eastern area covering about 60 percent of the enclave is under Israeli military control, while Palestinians, most of them displaced, have been crowded into the remaining western areas.

“This means more people are going to be shot. Whoever crosses these yellow blocks is being shot and killed, restricting freedom of movement.”

Khoudary said shortages of food and medicine remained severe amid Israel’s blockade on aid entering the Strip.

“Normal medications are not available, so people suffering from cancer or diabetes are struggling to secure treatment,” she said. “When the ceasefire started, it was meant to be 600 trucks a day, but what is entering is only around 150 to 190 trucks. People here are saying they don’t have food.”

At least 800 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire” took effect, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Israel says Palestinian fighters have killed four of its soldiers during the period.

More than 72,500 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023, most of them civilians, according to Gaza’s health authorities.

Starmer at risk because he pushed Labour to be ‘new Conservative Party’

Author Oliver Eagleton says British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is fighting for his job because he tried to turn the Labour Party into the ‘new Conservative Party’ and ‘occupy that centre ground’. Dozens of lawmakers are calling for Starmer’s resignation after devastating local elections.

Peru presidential candidate Roberto Sanchez charged with financial crimes

Published

on

Prosecutor calls for leftist candidate to be jailed for five years and four months over false financial disclosures.

Peru’s public prosecutor’s office has accused leftist presidential candidate Roberto Sanchez of financial crimes, calling for him to be imprisoned for five years and four months.

The charges, unsealed on Tuesday, came hours after electoral authorities confirmed Sanchez was on track to advance to the country’s presidential run-off, scheduled for June 7.

According to the El Comercio newspaper, prosecutors allege that Sanchez, who is the candidate of the Juntos por el Peru (Together for Peru) party, filed false financial disclosures with the National Office of Electoral Processes related to campaign contributions between 2018 and 2020.

Prosecutors say Sanchez and his brother, William Sanchez, received more than 280,000 Peruvian soles ($81,720) in contributions and membership fees that were never disclosed in the party’s financial filings.

Sanchez is also accused of making false statements in administrative proceedings.

In addition to the jail term, prosecutors were also seeking a “permanent disqualification” of Sanchez from holding the office of president for the Juntos por el Peru party, according to El Comercio.

Sanchez’s lawyer rejected the accusations, telling local outlet RPP that the party’s treasurer, not Sanchez, was responsible for its financial filings.

A judge is expected to decide on May 27 whether the case will go to trial.

The charges emerged as vote counting from last month’s first-round election showed Sanchez advancing to a run-off against conservative rival Keiko Fujimori.

With 99.76 percent of ballots counted, Fujimori, the daughter of late former President Alberto Fujimori and a four-time presidential candidate, held a commanding lead with 17.17 percent of the vote.

Sanchez, running with the backing of jailed former President Pedro Castillo, stood at 12 percent, narrowly ahead of ultra-conservative former Lima Mayor Rafael Lopez Aliaga at 11.91 percent, a margin of roughly 15,000 votes.
