Clashes erupted as Israeli army forces blew up the house of Palestinian detainee Osama Al-Taweel. The Israeli army also directly targeted a Palestinian ambulance with live bullets and a stun grenade, which shattered the vehicle’s windshield. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh accused Israel of reoccupying the West Bank and violating international and humanitarian law. Gen. Akram Rajoub, governor of Jenin, said that Israelis are aiming to re-establish total control over the West Bank, from its people to its land and resources. He told Arab News that the near-daily Israeli military incursions into Jenin are unjustified, as there was no security threat against Israeli citizens present there.

Many Culprits Stole Food Aid in North Ethiopia, Investigation Finds
By Giulia ParaviciniNAIROBI (Reuters) - Regional and federal government officials as well as Eritrean soldiers were involved in the theft of food aid in northern Ethiopia's Tigray region, the head of an investigation by the Tigrayan authorities said on Thursday. The U.N. World Food Programme and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) paused food distribution last month in war-scarred Tigray because they said significant amounts of aid had been stolen. The two agencies then suspended food aid across all of Ethiopia last week for the same reason. An internal humanitarian memo said USAID believes food has been diverted to Ethiopian military units as part of a scheme orchestrated by federal and regional government entities. Ethiopia's army has denied its forces benefited from any stolen food aid.

News: Tigray publishes prelim finding of food aid diversion prob, implicates Eritrea, fed. gov’t and Tigrayan entities
US provided food aid (Photo:WFP)Addis Abeba – The committee established by the interim regional administration of Tigray to investigate diversion of humanitarian food in the region has revealed that the Ethiopian federal government entities and Eritrean forces had higher roles in the widescale food aid diversion. He said 186 suspects alleged to have roles in the food aid diversion have been identified, out of whom seven have already been detained. The official didn’t give time frame as to when the aid diversion took place, nor specified the implicated federal and regional gov’ts entities. This comes as the two major food aid donors to Ethiopia, USAID and the WFP have suspended food aid distribution in Ethiopia after revelations were made that the food aid diversion was not only limited to Tigray region, and is country wide. Similarly the army has refuted the allegations that its members have been involved in the aid diversion and called for restraint from media outlets.

Cairo airport customs foil trafficking of drugs, swords
On nearly a weekly basis, boats carrying Palestinian immigrants from the shores of Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, or Turkiye have sunk, claiming several lives. Palestinians call them ‘death boats,’ and they often carry children on journeys with no guarantee of safety. According to the testimonies of survivors, smugglers avoid disclosing sinking incidents for several days, and passengers are sometimes harshly beaten and abused. “Palestinian youths, under pressure to make a living, decide to board these boats. The PA stopped hiring university graduates from Gaza in 2007, and obtaining work permits in Israel is complex.

"You made the haredim out to be a fifth column," Asher attacked. She wrote that the law had no tools to protect haredim since they were not included in the Racism Law." At that point, MK Asher turned to the MKs: "I ask you, am I not identified as a haredi? Opposition MKs, particularly from the Yesh Atid party, continuously attempted to interrupt MK Asher, who attacked them for their silence in the face of the incitement. The answer is because you're hypocrites, and our teachers taught us to be wary of hypocrites," MK Asher concluded.

Reverse Sham Called Nigeria Air – Allen Onyema Tells Tinubu
June 14, (THEWILL) – The Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to scrap the controversial ‘Nigeria Air’, launched at the twilight of the administration of former President, Muhammadu Buhari. Although Air Peace had in an earlier statement described Sirika’s claim as “blatant lies”, Onyema on Wednesday, faulted Sirika’s claim about Air Peace Airlines. He urged President Bola Tinubu to immediately scrap Nigeria Air, a project he described as a charade. I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately reverse this sham called Nigeria Air and start his own thing. “The court order barring Nigeria Air has not been vacated, so the unveiling they did was contemptuous.
