Doctors in darkened wards across Gaza performed surgeries by the light of mobile phones and used vinegar to treat infected wounds.Amid the violence, President Joe Biden pledged unwavering support for Israel’s security, “today and always,” while adding that the world “can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians” in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Former Liam Byrne staff win payouts over bungled Commons bullying probe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

LONDON — Former aides of newly-elected Commons committee chair Liam Byrne have received thousands of pounds of compensation from the taxpayer following a bungled inquiry into allegations he bullied a member of staff. At least four of Byrne’s former employees received payoffs this month after parliament’s independent complaints system — the ICGS — breached their anonymity while investigating bullying claims. A complaint against him was upheld.Labour MP Byrne narrowly won a contest to chair the business and trade committee this week. Five people who previously worked for him, including three who received compensation, told POLITICO they are dismayed by the development. The ICGS revealed witnesses’ identities to Byrne during its probe into claims he bullied a member of staff, despite assurances they would remain anonymous. Subsequently, he messaged and called a number of them. In response, the former aides took legal action against the ICGS and each received four figure payoffs for fro...

Biden’s Middle East challenge

Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.”When United States President Joe Biden decided to travel to Israel this week, his immediate objective was to express solidarity with Israel, to avoid escalating the war beyond Gaza and to ask tough questions about the strategy Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet were pursuing. But even before Air Force One could take off, the fallout from the horrific bombing of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza late Tuesday night had called all three of these goals into question.The bombing killed nearly 500 and wounded hundreds more, signaling that concerns about a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza were now displacing the shared anger and grief that had followed the previous week’s brutal terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians.Fury on the Arab streets has now made the prospect of escalation more likely.

Waffles and lasagne: The complicated politics of food

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.We now have an answer to the biggest food question Belgium has ever faced (and no, the question is not ‘What’s the deal with chicory?’). The real question is which are better, Liège waffles or Brussels waffles? It’s the former. Not my words, the words of the most decorated gymnast in history, Simone Biles. The owner of seven Olympic medals, Biles wrote on the artist formerly known as Twitter: “still dreaming about the waffles from belgium” (Americans no longer use capital letters on social media to compensate for all those years of Donald Trump abusing the caps lock key).Asked which type of waffle she prefers, Biles simply wrote “Liege” and three drooling face emojis.Belgian politicians do of course like to use culinary terms to describe their ridiculously complicated ways of doing things. There’s “waffle-iron politics,” whereby for every euro (or franc, for older readers...
