Is Hamas hiding in Gaza’s main hospital? Israel’s claim is now a focal point in a dayslong stalemate

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:01:22 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Gaza’s Shifa Hospital has become the focus of a dayslong stalemate in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group.Shifa is Gaza’s largest and best-equipped hospital. Israel, without providing visual evidence, claims the facility also is used by Hamas for military purposes. It says Hamas has built a vast underground command complex center below the hospital, connected by tunnels, something Gaza health officials and Hamas deny.Since Israel declared war against Hamas in response to a deadly cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, its forces have moved in on Shifa. While Israel says it is willing to allow staff and patients to evacuate, Palestinians say Israeli forces have fired at evacuees and that it is too dangerous to move the most vulnerable patients. Meanwhile, doctors say the facility has run out of fuel and that patients are beginning to die.Here is a closer look at the Shifa standoff.A HOSPITAL AND A SHELTERShifa is the leading hospital in a health care syste...

Turkish MPs to start discussing Sweden’s NATO bid

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:01:22 GMT

The Turkish parliament’s foreign affairs committee is scheduled to debate Sweden’s bid to join NATO on Thursday.That brings Sweden’s application a step closer toward ratification by the full assembly — needed before President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan can sign it into law.The agenda of the parliamentary committee was first reported by Reuters.Sweden’s application to join the alliance has stalled thanks to accusations by Turkey that it is not doing enough to curb what it calls Kurdish terrorists in Sweden. Turkey’s latest move leaves Hungary as the only NATO country where parliamentary ratification hasn’t begun. Last week, Hungary’s President Katalin Novák called on the Budapest parliament to “take a quick and wise decision about Sweden’s NATO accession” during a visit to the alliance’s headquarters.“I am fully supportive for Sweden’s accession and what I can tell you and promise you also that I will do my utmos...
