Map shows where Global March to Gaza is planned to take place

Thousands of people who travelled from around the world to take part in a 30-mile march to Gaza's south-western border are currently in limbo.
The Global March to Gaza was due to begin on Sunday in Arish, Egypt, where some 4,000 protesters were expected to gather and walk through the northern Sinai desert to the Rafah crossing.
An estimated 1,500 of them joined a motor convoy starting nearly 2,000 miles east in Tunisia last week, while others flew into Egypt.
But Egyptian authorities said they would not allow people to reach Arish without the necessary permits, and have reportedly deported around 500 people planning to take part.
They include 200 activists – from countries including the US, Ireland, Morocco, Algeria, France and Sweden – who were sent home upon arriving at Cairo airport.
Egypt's stance is backed by the Libyan government, which halted the motorised Soumoud Convoy inside its territory last week.
Another convoy, known as the Dignity Convoy, attempted to reach Gaza via Lebanon but faced similar obstacles from local authorities.
The march is billed as a 'civilian-led' non-violent protest against Israel's blockade on aid to the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
Participants aimed to raise awareness through the march itself and then spend three days camped at the Egyptian side of the Rafah border.
Organisers say the movement is intended to 'create international moral and media pressure' to fully open the crossing at Rafah.
Israeli forces took control of the Palestinian side of the crossing last year, claiming Hamas leaders were using the area to organise attacks, and heavily restricted its use.
Between early March and the end of May, Israel blocked all crossings at the border, with Palestinian groups saying one in five Gazans are now living in a state akin to famine.
Restrictions were slightly eased last month, with wounded Palestinians allowed to leave and more aid trucks allowed in, but experts say the measures are far short of what is needed to prevent widespread famine.
The Egyptian government has previously suggested that people who received authorisation would be allowed to travel the route.
It said received 'numerous requests and inquiries' but it's not whether or how many permits have been given.
'Egypt holds the right to take all necessary measures to preserve its national security, including the regulation of the entry and movement of individuals within its territory, especially in sensitive border areas', the Egyptian foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, has urged Egypt to stop the protesters reaching Rafah, saying they are 'jihadists' who 'endanger the Egyptian regime and constitute a threat to all moderate Arab regimes in the region'.
Egypt has publicly condemned Israel's restrictions on the Rafah crossing and called for the end of the war, however it has long attempted to maintain diplomatic relations with Israel.
The Sinai was the epicenter of more than a decade of terror attacks by Islamist militants against Egyptian civilians and security forces which ended in 2023 after major efforts by Egypt's military.
More recently, rocket attacks on Israel by Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon have been used by Israel as a pretext to launch attacks in Lebanese territory.
The Sinai is now treated as a highly sensitive region by Egyptian authorities, who are very cautious about comings and goings in the region.
The march was organised by an international group of activists led by Saif Abukeshek, a Barcelona-based Palestinian campaigner.
'Citizens are not okay with them just being silenced [or the] silence toward the genocide', Abukeshek has said.
It includes South African politician Mandla Mandela, who is a grandson of Nelson Mandela. More Trending
Participants include students, aid workers, and long-time campaigners on Palestinian issues.
The organising committee claims to have the support of over 150 civil society organisations, trade unions, and human rights groups from more than 80 countries.
In the UK these include a number of small grassroots charities and the Jewish Voice for Labour campaign group.
The group describes itself as a 'civic, apolitical, and independent movement'.

With independence, Scotland could become a beacon for peace

Firstly Scotland is acting as a staging post for the US bombing missions in Iran and their assistance to Israel's war. Prestwick Airport, which is owned by the Scottish Government, has seen large numbers of US war plans landing and being refuelled on their way to wage war on Iran and to assist the Israeli war effort. It's time the Scottish Government closed this route for war by banning US war planes at Prestwick. READ MORE: Scotland may be 'complicit in war crimes' allowing US to use Prestwick Secondly, if this war in the Middle East extends to a global war, Scotland's nuclear base at Faslane will be the number one target for attack, and if it's hit then much of Glasgow will disappear. Surely it's time that this expensive and ineffective nuclear base was closed. Thirdly, Scottish arms industries are supplying the Israeli war machines with vital spare parts and it's time this was ended. Of course I realise that none of this can be achieved while Scotland is part of the UK and where Starmer's Labour government is guilty of failing to condemn Israel for genocide in Gaza or the US for its warlike interventions. Instead, they are grovelling to Trump in the hope of crumbs from his table. Support for Scottish independence has reached a new high of 56% recently. Let's turn that into a pro-independence majority in the Scottish Parliament elections next year. If that happens, the Scottish Parliament should declare our independence, end our complicity in war and instead make Scotland a beacon for peace in the world. Hugh Kerr (former MEP) Edinburgh ARE nuclear weapons defensive or offensive? It seems the answer depends on whether the UK Government is talking about a lauded 'friend' or a condemned 'foe', a supposedly 'democratically elected' President or a supposedly 'expertly elected' Ayatollah. The obscene devastation in Gaza and unabated slaughter of its people on the pretext of responding to the horrendous terrorist acts of October 7 is a totally disproportionate portend of what an expansionist, war-mongering, fanatical regime might impose on the rest of the Middle East if Iran is neutered militarily. This may suit Western governments (which appear to have learned little from the catastrophic consequences of war rhetoric ahead of the illegal invasion of Iraq), with 'energy companies' keen to further exploit Iran and the region's massive oil and gas reserves, but when will the British public stand up and say 'enough is enough'? READ MORE: UK providing 'political cover' for US and Israel after Iran attack Proscribing a protest group as a terrorist organisation for spray-paint vandalism would simply demonstrate how far the UK Government, aided and abetted by much of the UK mainstream media, is prepared to go in order to justify its lethal bias in the Middle East, where an out-of-control despot intent on obliterating cities and massacring civilians wreaks generational havoc. Scotland, as an independent country, could choose a different path by genuinely promoting global nuclear disarmament and by ending compelled complicity in the actions of a 'British state' still posturing as a global super-power in order to feed the greed of international capitalist moguls and the wealthy British establishment while more inconsolable mothers cradle lifeless children in their forlorn arms. Stan Grodynski Longniddry, East Lothian ARE we really expected to believe that British planes are working with the Israelis only to help find the hostages, and only information pertinent to this is given to the Israelis and shared with the US? Why are the hostages still not found? Why are British spy planes still flying over Gaza? Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and wounded since May 27th, when the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food in southern Gaza. On June 17, at least 51 people were killed and 200 wounded, including children, while waiting for food. Westminster talks big about finding a diplomatic solution while supporting Israel with British aircraft. Is this not complicity in war crimes? READ MORE: UK Defence Secretary walks into oncoming traffic to escape Israel questions Now that Iran is in the picture, Gaza is no longer in the news. This allows the IDF to run further amok in the Occupied Territories, destroying homes and businesses. What will be the end result of this destruction? The Riviera of the Middle East? Keir Starmer is so enamoured with his 'special relationship' with Donald Trump and his rhetoric about Israel's right to defend itself that he ignores the message of the many thousands of UK citizens who march in protest against the treatment of the Palestinians and especially the carnage in Gaza. Sophocles gives a message from the past that is so relevant for now: 'whoever makes his journey to a tyrant's court becomes his slave, although he went there a free man'. Marion McPherson Ayr PALESTINE Action stage a protest at an RAF base and the Home Secretary announces she plans to proscribe them. The IDF slaughters in excess of 55,000 Palestinians and we give them armaments and surveillance assistance! READ MORE: Mark Brown: Donald Trump's ultimatum is a threat to Iran and the Middle East In the US, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified before congress in March that Iran had a stock of materials but was not building nuclear weapons. President Trump did not challenge this, but now says she was 'wrong' and that intelligence showed Iran had a 'tremendous amount of material' and could have a nuclear weapon 'within months'. Ms Gabbard has now made a statement to the effect that Iran could produce nuclear weapons 'within weeks' and that her March testimony (which seemed crystal clear at the time ) had been taken out of context by 'dishonest media'! To paraphrase the Doors from 1967 – strange days indeed! Alan Woodcock Dundee

Israel rejects critical EU report ahead of ministers' meeting

BRUSSELS, June 22 (Reuters) - Israel has rejected a European Union report saying it may be breaching human rights obligations in Gaza and the West Bank as a 'moral and methodological failure,' according to a document seen by Reuters on Sunday. The note, sent to EU officials ahead of a foreign ministers' meeting on Monday, said the report by the bloc's diplomatic service failed to consider Israel's challenges and was based on inaccurate information. "The Foreign Ministry of the State of Israel rejects the document ... and finds it to be a complete moral and methodological failure," the note said, adding that it should be dismissed entirely. European nations have been increasingly critical of the massive civilian toll of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's military campaign against Palestinian militant group Hamas since its October 7, 2023 attack on Israeli communities.

The American attacks allow Netanyahu to end the wars with Iran and in Gaza, says his predecessor

THE AMERICAN attacks on Iran's three nuclear sites mark a dramatic escalation in the conflict that began on June 13th with the Israeli assault on Iran. President Donald Trump, in his characteristically unpredictable fashion, resolved to undertake an action he had eschewed for years, both during his first term in office and in recent months, despite making repeated threats against Iran.
