US-Israel Gaza genocide
Dozens more Palestinians are killed as the Israeli regime keeps going ahead with its genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip which is now in its 162nd day. In the latest airstrikes, the Israeli military has targeted the al-Nusairat refugee camp, leaving at least 36 people dead. Many people were also killed or injured in yet another bombing of Rafah, a southern city that once Israel designated as safe for displaced Palestinians. Rafah has been targeted frequently amid the regime’s threat that it will conduct a ground operation there. Since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza in early October, over 31,500 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children.
Israeli violence in West Bank
Israeli troops have killed a Palestinian man following an anti-regime operation in a settlement in the occupied West Bank. Regime forces shot dead the man after he opened fire on soldiers near the old city of al-Khalil. They prevented ambulanced from reaching him. Tensions have been high across the occupied West Bank since October seven. More than 430 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since then.
Russia presidential election
On the second day of the Russian presidential election, voters across the country cast their ballots in a process that is all but certain to extend President Vladimir Putin’s rule by another six years. Voting is taking place at polling stations across Russia’s 11 time zones, including online balloting in the regions that broke away from Ukraine and rejoined the Russian Federation. Around 114mn Russians are eligible to vote in this year’s election that will continue until Sunday. In the run-up to the vote, Putin boasted about battlefield successes in Ukraine, where the Russian troops have recently made gains. He also cited economic growth, saying the country’s economy has proven to be resilient despite Western sanctions. Putin’s victory appears highly probable as none of the three other candidates in the race is a prominent challenger. The current election marks the eighth presidential election in Russia. This will be Putin’s fifth term as president.
