Israel to reopen Gaza’s Rafah crossing Wednesday: Israeli public broadcaster

JERUSALEM: Israel will allow Gaza's Rafah crossing to reopen on Wednesday for humanitarian aid to enter from Egypt into the Palestinian territory, Israeli public broadcaster KAN said. “Six hundred trucks of humanitarian aid will be dispatched (Wednesday) to the Gaza Strip by the UN, approved international organisations, the private sector and donor countries,“ KAN said on its website without citing sources. The UN and aid organisations have urged the reopening of the major crossing as Gaza faces a devastating humanitarian crisis after two years of war in the territory, sparked by Hamas October 7, 2023 attack. At the end of August, the United Nations declared famine in Gaza, though Israel rejected the claim. The Israeli public broadcaster said the reopening of the southern Rafah crossing, decided by the “political echelon”, follows Hamas handing over the remains of four more hostages late Tuesday under a ceasefire deal that took effect on Friday. Under the agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas was due to hand over all hostages, both living and dead, within 72 hours of the truce coming into effect on Friday. While the Palestinian militants did release all 20 of the living hostages it held on time, by Tuesday evening it had handed over to Israel the remains of only eight of the 28 dead hostages held in the Gaza Strip. Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Tuesday threatened to cut off aid supplies to Gaza if Hamas failed to return the remains of soldiers still held in the territory. According to KAN, the decision to reopen Rafah to allow aid to pass through was also taken after Israel was informed of Hamas's intention to return four more bodies on Wednesday, a move not yet confirmed by the militant group. - AFP

India’s Taliban embrace exposes two extremist peas in a pod

India’s decision to engage with Afghanistan’s Taliban regime — even without formally recognizing it — has unsettled an already fragile South Asian landscape. To many, it appears to be a calculated act of realpolitik, a strategic counterbalance to Pakistan’s deep-rooted influence in Kabul. But beneath the surface of this diplomacy lies something far more disquieting: […] The post India’s Taliban embrace exposes two extremist peas in a pod appeared first on Asia Times .

Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupts, spewing ash 10 km into the sky

Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupts, spewing ash 10 km into the sky

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted on Wednesday, shooting volcanic ash 10 kilometres (6.21 miles) into the sky, the country’s volcanology agency said, forcing authorities to raise the alert system to its highest level. Located in East Nusa Tenggara province, the volcano erupted on Wednesday at 1:35 a.m. local time (Tuesday 1835 GMT) for around nine minutes, the country’s Geological Agency said in a statement. Lewotobi also erupted two hours before; the volcanic ash from that shot nine kilometres into the sky. Late on Tuesday, the agency raised its alert level to the highest point after recording “significant rising of the volcano’s activities” since Monday, its head, Muhammad Wafid, said. “People living near the volcano should be aware of the potential volcanic mudflow if heavy rain occurs,“ Wafid said, adding that people should clear a six- to seven-kilometre area around the site. The volcano last erupted in August. It also erupted in July, causing flight disruptions to and from the nearby resort island of Bali. Dozens of people living in villages nearest to the volcano were evacuated after the eruptions, according to Avelina Manggota Hallan, an official at the local disaster mitigation agency. Most of the residents left their villages after Lewotobi Laki-laki’s major eruption, which killed 10 people and damaged thousands of houses in November 2024, Hallan added. The government has closed Fransiskus Xaverius Seda airport, located in Maumere, East Nusa Tenggara province, until Thursday, the airport operator said in a post on social media. Indonesia, which has more than 120 active volcanoes, sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,“ an area of high seismic activity that is atop multiple tectonic plates. - Reuters
