People gathered at the Nova festival site in southern Israel on Wednesday to remember those killed and kidnapped during the October 7, 2023 attack.

The ceremonies marked three years since Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. This year’s events are the first since all the hostages were…
As expected Sébastien Lecornu addressed young people in particular in his televised speech, and said the country could not be “indifferent” to the concerns of high school students, acknowledging that the “anger of young people does not come from nowhere”. However, he said French security forces do not have orders to “confront” protesting high school students, as allegations of police brutality mounted following days of protests that have shaken the country.

Palestinians searched through the rubble of a demolished residential building in Jerusalem’s al-Tur neighbourhood on Tuesday, looking for belongings left behind. The footage shows residents picking through the debris. One woman describes being ordered out at gunpoint and says her family was given only a short time to collect essential medicines. The five-storey building, which contained 10 apartments, was torn down by Israeli authorities over what they said was a lack of building permits. Residents say they had repeatedly applied for permits and were given little time to remove their belongings. The demolition displaced dozens of people, according to Palestinian…
A party official, granted anonymity to discuss internal matters, told POLITICO the pair’s futures will only be decided after the conclusion of a Metropolitan Police investigation. Scotland Yard is investigating multiple “potential offences” arising from the broadcast of footage showing discussions about how the party could receive donations from an overseas donor and also asking a bogus company to pay for polls commissioned by officials. On Wednesday, a Reform spokesperson said: “Having concluded the review, the investigation found no evidence that any laws were broken. “We consider that the production company — Verbatim — acted unlawfully and will be taking…

In a meeting Wednesday afternoon, EU officials endorsed the position, pledging to defer any future drawdowns “pending a clearer IEA assessment of market conditions and security-of-supply risks,” said one of the diplomats. Countries need to know “how low we can go,” said another. While diesel prices are high as a result of airstrikes on energy infrastructure in Russia and the Middle East, some EU countries warned that releasing stocks now could leave them vulnerable in the event of a supply crisis. There remain enough untapped stocks among IEA members to satisfy the pledge to release 100 million barrels. Of the…
