Nadia El-Nakla says UK is ‘enabling’ Israel

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:38:15 GMT

ABERDEEN — The U.K. is “enabling” Israel as it prepares to wage a ground offensive in Gaza, according to Nadia El-Nakla, wife of Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf.Speaking at a fringe meeting at the Scottish National Party conference on Sunday, El-Nakla spoke of feeling “helpless” as her parents remain trapped in Gaza. Both she and Yousaf have made calls for the U.K. government to help establish a humanitarian corridor to assist civilians in the Gaza Strip. Asked for her view of the U.K. government’s latest response to the Hamas conflict — where Foreign Secretary James Cleverly asked Israel to show “restraint” as the country continues to respond to Hamas’ surprise attack last week — El-Nakla said the government has enabled Israel by offering some limited military support.Britain last week deployed military equipment including surveillance aircraft and naval patrols to the eastern Mediterranean.

RAMLA, Israel — “The smell goes straight to my heart,” Rabbi Israel Weiss said, standing in front of dozens of refrigerated shipping containers, each containing 50 bodies. Those who approach must wear a mask against the smell.On Saturday evening, the former chief military rabbi of the Israeli military explained to journalists at Shura Base, Ramla, 20 kilometers southside of Tel Aviv, how he and his colleagues have been trying to identify not only hundreds of victims of the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, but also the corpses of the Islamist militants who attacked them. As chief military rabbi from 2000 to 2006, Weiss was responsible for identifying fallen Israeli soldiers and arranging their funerals.When the Hamas killing squads — identified as terrorists by the U.S., EU and U.K. — murdered more than 1,300 Israelis, mostly civilians, in the south of Israel close to the Gaza Strip, he returned from retirement to help identify the bodies with the forensics unit...

Instant analysis from Ravens’ 24-16 win over Tennessee Titans in London

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:38:15 GMT

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 24-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in Sunday’s Week 6 game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.Mike Preston: The Ravens kicked six field goals. That won’t be good enough in the postseason, but will work well enough against the Titans. This was one game the Ravens didn’t have to worry about a comeback because neither of the Titans quarterbacks, Ryan Tannehill or Malik Willis, can win with their arms. It’s too early to label games as must wins, but when a team loses to the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers, this was a game the Ravens couldn’t afford to lose.Childs Walker: One more week, one more dominant first half for the Ravens, who scored on their first four drives. Lamar Jackson’s adjustments at the line of scrimmage were key to keeping those drives going. The only rub was that the Ravens settled for three field goals because ...

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia man was left reeling after receiving a $1.4 million speeding ticket, but city officials say the figure was just a placeholder, not the actual fine.Connor Cato tells WSAV-TV in Savannah that he received the citation after getting pulled over in September for driving 90 mph (145 kph) in a 55 mph (89 kph) zone.He called the court thinking the figure was a typo but says he was told he either had to pay it or appear in court in December.Savannah officials say anyone caught driving more than 35 mph (56 kph) above the speed limit has to appear in court, where a judge will determine the actual fine.The figure Cato received reflected a “placeholder” that was automatically generated by e-citation software used by the local Recorder’s Court, said Joshua Peacock, a spokesman for Savannah’s city government. The actual fine cannot exceed $1,000 in addition to state-mandated costs.“We do not issue that placeholder as a threat to scare anybody into court, ...
