TEHRAN: Iran’s president on Tuesday expressed regret at a “lack of unity” among Muslim countries in response to the war between its arch-foe the Zionist entity and Gaza’s rulers Hamas. Ebrahim Raisi said greater coordination across the Muslim world could have stopped the Zionist entity’s bombing of the Palestinian territory. “A united and unified position in the Muslim world could have prevented the oppression and aggression of the Zionist regime and the excesses of its Western supporters in a more effective way,” he said, quoted by state news agency IRNA.

The occupation cut the electricity supply to Gaza as part of the “total siege” it launched on October 9, seriously hin ..read more

Two by-election losses to the main opposition Labour Party on Thursday underscored how Sunak, 43, has failed to revive the Conservatives’ beleaguered fortunes during his first 12 months in charge. “The more people see of Sunak, the less they like him in some ways,” Tim Bale, author of a book about the right-wing Conservatives since Brexit, told AFP. “He doesn’t really proje ..read more
