WHO says no one held accountable for 10,000 attacks on healthcare The World Health Organization said on Friday that more than 10,000 attacks on healthcare had been recorded since 2018, but nobody had ever been brought to justice. These attacks, reported across 29 countries and territories, have resulted in approximately 5,700 deaths and 8,500 injuries, the WHO said. Altaf Musani, director of the WHO's humanitarian and disaster management unit, who presented the figures at a media briefing in Geneva, said accountability could take place not just at the national level. Health facilities and health systems more broadly are protected under international humanitarian and human rights law, including certain Geneva Conventions, he said. However, "of the more than 10,000 verified incidents that I spoke of, not a single one has entered the accountability system". This year alone, the UN health agency has recorded 914 attacks, resulting in 911 deaths and 1,486 injuries, Musani said. Ukraine, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories account for the majority of incidents in 2026.

Netanyahu brands Britain an ‘Islamic republic’ as it prepares Israel sanctions Submitted by Elis Gjevori on Fri, 08/14/2026 - 14:49 The Israeli prime minister attacks London despite years of British arms sales, intelligence sharing and diplomatic protection A collage photo of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Britain's Prime Minister Andy Burnham (Ronen Zvulun/Toby Shepheard/AFP) Off Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has branded Britain an "Islamic republic", attacking a country whose governments have armed, protected and assisted Israel throughout its genocide in Gaza and wider regional wars. During an interview broadcast by Army Radio, Netanyahu complained that the favourable British coverage Israel received during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war had disappeared. The 1967 war began with Israel’s surprise attack on Egypt and ended with Israeli forces seizing the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Syria’s Golan Heights. “Try to find that now in Britain, which you could call the Islamic republic of Britain,” Netanyahu said. When the host responded, “Isn’t all of Europe like that?”, Netanyahu replied: “Yes, but you know, someone said the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic republic of Britain.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Netanyahu's Islamophobic remarks came as London is poised to announce a raft of new policies in September, multiple sources told Middle East Eye, including a ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements. Sources said the Foreign Office is looking at imposing new sanctions on individuals and organisations involved in the Israeli settler movement in the occupied West Bank. UK support for Israel But Netanyahu’s rhetoric clashes with Britain’s record as one of Israel’s most dependable European supporters. Under former Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the Labour government proscribed the Palestine Action group as a terrorist organisation in July 2025. The group had targeted factories and facilities connected to companies supplying weapons to Israel. The ban made membership and expressions of support punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Police have since arrested more than 3,000 people and charged more than 1,200 under terrorism legislation. Exclusive: UK to announce raft of new policies on Israel including settlement goods ban Read More » London also conducted surveillance flights over Gaza during the genocide and shared intelligence with Israel. The Ministry of Defence trained Israeli military personnel on British courses, only pausing future participation late in 2025. Britain’s arms policy exposes the same contradiction. Labour suspended 29 export licences to Israel in September 2024 after identifying a “clear risk” that equipment could facilitate violations of international humanitarian law. Then-Foreign Secretary David Lammy stressed that the decision was “not an arms embargo”. By February 2026, Israel appeared on 395 non-suspended export licences. Of those, 203 covered military goods, while non-F-35 military licences carried a maximum value of £130m. British support also extended to the war on Iran, with Starmer authorising US forces to use British bases for strikes in March 2026. His successor, Andy Burnham, continued that access in July, helping Washington sustain a war Netanyahu had pushed the United States to fight.
