Reports emerged earlier this week of American doctors being unable to leave Gaza after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing, including 10 from the US-based Palestinian American Medical Association, who had intended to leave after a two-week mission at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, a city near Rafah in southern Gaza. On Friday, 17 American doctors and healthcare workers, out of a total of 20, got out of Gaza, White House national securi...

Kirby said Sullivan in his talks with the Saudis will discuss "bilateral and regional matters including the war in Gaza of cour...

Scientists have discovered a long-buried branch of the Nile river that once flowed alongside more than 30 pyramids in Egypt, potentially solving the mystery of how ancient Egyptians transported the massive stone blocks to build the famous monuments. The 64-kilometre-long river branch, which ran by the iconic Giza pyramid complex among other wonders, was hidden under desert and farmland for millennia, according to a study revealing the find on Thursday. The existence of the river would explain why the 31 pyramids were built in a chain along a now inhospitable desert strip in the Nile Valley bet...

An Algerian man who had been missing for 26 years has been found in his neighbour's house, just a few minutes' walk away, the country's justice ministry said Tuesday. The man only identified as Omar B. had vanished at the age of 19 during the Algerian Civil War in 1998, and his family assumed he had been kidnapped or killed. Now aged 45, he was found amid haystacks only about 200 metres (yards) away in the city of Djelfa after the captor's brother aired grievances on social media, reportedly due to an inheritance dispute. The alleged culprit, a 61-year-old doorman at the municipality in the ne...

This apparent rejection comes as Israel sent a delegation to Cairo, led by Ghassan Alian, the Coordinator of Israeli Government Activities in the Occupied Territories, to persuade the Egyptian gover...

Seven human rights organisations on Thursday called on Lebanon to halt forced deportations of Syrian refugees and repeal new legal restrictions amid a wave of xenophobia and forced returns.

About 1.5 million Syrian refugees live in Lebanon, the highest per capita number of refugees of any country in the world. The Lebanese government has increasingly called on Syrian refugees...

Iran has threatened the UK after it helped aid Israel in shooting down an Iranian barrage of drones and missiles in April. Esmail Qaani, head of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) - the foreign arm of the organisation - also issued warnings to France and Germany for taking part in the military action.
