Hamas holds ‘unprecedented number’ of hostages in Gaza as Israel secures border

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:21 GMT

Hamas is holding “between 100 and 150” people hostage in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations said late Monday — as Israel regained control over the Gaza border and conducted “massive air strikes” in the Palestinian territory. “I think it’s an unprecedented number,” Gilad Erdan told CNN, referring to the hostages. But, he added: “It’s not going to stop us from doing what we need to do in order to secure the future of Israel.”“Our main commitment is to obliterate [Hamas] terrorist infrastructure,” the ambassador said.Israel has launched a major military offensive against Hamas on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the armed Palestinian group’s surprise incursion into several locations in Israel on Saturday, during which they killed hundreds of civilians. Israel’s military shelled “over 200 targets” in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Tuesday, while Richard Hec...

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberian President George Weah is seeking a second term in office Tuesday, hoping that his efforts to pave roads, build hospitals and bring electricity to more areas will win votes despite growing economic hardships in the West African nation.He faces a crowded field of 19 challengers, led by his main rival from the last election in 2017, Joseph Boakai, who served as vice president under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa’s first democratically elected female leader. “I want to tell you, my fellow Liberians, I have done well,” Weah, a 57-year-old former international soccer star, said in his closing campaign message at his party’s headquarters in the capital, Monrovia.Boakai, though, has campaigned on promises to rescue Liberia from what he calls Weah’s failed leadership, dubbing himself and his running mate “Rescue 1” and “Rescue 2.”“We are all excited and optimistic about what is now a national call to rally citizens of this great country for ...

Under heavy bombing, Palestinians in Gaza move from place to place, only to discover nowhere is safe

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:21 GMT

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Over 180,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are packed into United Nations shelters as Israeli warplanes pound the tiny territory of 2.3 million people after their Hamas militant rulers launched an unprecedented weekend attack on Israel.Among them is 27-year-old Sabreen al-Attar. She sprang into action when she heard rocket after rocket whoosh over her farmland in Beit Lahiya just north of the Israeli border on Saturday. She knew from experience that Israeli retaliation would be swift and severe.Grabbing her children, al-Attar rushed to one of the dozens of shelters set up in schools run by the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City. There, blasts of unprecedented intensity punctuated hours of steadily declining conditions Monday as food and water ran out.“When I escape, I do it for my children,” she said, her hands trembling. “Their lives rest on my shoulders.”But residents say there is no real escape in Gaza, which has been under a suffocati...

Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed on what you need to know today…‘Freedom Convoy’ trial to resume WednesdayThe evidence put forward by the Crown and defence in the criminal trial of two prominent “Freedom Convoy” organizers is so similar, in that it reflects something of a Rorschach test for how people feel about the massive protest, said criminologist Michael Kempa.The trial is set to reconvene Wednesday after a two-and-a-half-week break, and has so far focused largely on the social media posts of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. The two are co-accused for their role in organizing and allegedly orchestrating the events that unfolded in the streets of Ottawa in early 2022.Videos played by both the Crown and the defence show appeals by Barber and Lich to keep the protest peaceful, calling it a movement motivated by love and thanking police for ensuring public safety as they demonstrated against COVID-19 p...

IMF outlook worsens for a world economy left ‘limping’ by shocks like Russia’s war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:21 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The world economy is losing momentum in the face of higher interest rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine and widening geopolitical rifts, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday.The IMF said it expects global economic growth to slow to 2.9% in 2024 from an expected 3% this year. The forecast for next year is down a notch from the 3% it predicted back in July.The deceleration comes at a time when the world has yet to fully mend from a devastating but short-lived COVID-19 recession in 2020. A series of shocks, including the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has slashed worldwide economic output by about $3.7 trillion over the past three years compared with pre-COVID trends.“We see a global economy that is limping along,” IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told reporters ahead of the IMF and World Bank’s fall meetings this week in Marrakech, Morocco. The IMF expectation of 3% growth this year is down from 3.5% in 2022 but unchanged from i...
