WASHINGTON: The United States warned Saturday of a potential environmental disaster in the Red Sea after Houthi militia struck an oil tanker off the Yemeni coast.
The Greek-flagged Sounion was struck on Wednesday off the militia-held port city of Hodeidah, with the Iran-backed Houthis claiming to have hit the vessel with drones and missiles.
On Friday, the UKMTO maritime agency said three fires had been spotted on the ship, while a video released by the Houthis on social media allegedly showed three explosions on the ship.
The 274-meter long vessel had departed from Iraq and was destined for a port near Athens, carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil.
“The Houthis’ continued attacks threaten to spill a million barrels of oil into the Red Sea, an amount four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster,” US State Department Matthew Miller said Saturday in a statement.
The Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 released 257,000 barrels along the coast of Alaska.
“While the crew has been evacuated, the Houthis appear determined to sink the ship and its cargo into the sea,” Miller said.
The Sounian’s crew of 23 Filipinos and two Russians were rescued by a ship with the European Union’s Aspides mission.
The naval mission also warned the unmanned vessel represented “a navigational and environmental hazard.”
The Houthis launched their campaign against international shipping in November, saying it is in support of Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.
In March, the Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated Rubymar became the first ship targeted by the Houthis to sink during the conflict.
The Rubymar sank in the Red Sea with 21,000 metric tons of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertilizer on board.
The Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier Tutor also sank in June after being struck by the Houthis.
Multiple sailors have also been killed or wounded in the attacks, which have severely disrupted global shipping.
“Through these attacks, the Houthis have made clear they are willing to destroy the fishing industry and regional ecosystems that Yemenis and other communities in the region rely on for their livelihoods,” Miller said Saturday.
“We call on the Houthis to cease these actions immediately and urge other nations to step forward to help avert this environmental disaster,” he added.

Ban on UNRWA will make plight of Gazans much worse and undermine ceasefire, agency’s chief warns

Philippe Lazzarini tells Arab News we are witnessing a ‘crisis of impunity’ and international humanitarian law is becoming irrelevant in absence of ways to address this impunity
UNRWA’s mandate and capacity to provide services ‘far exceed any other entity’ and they could only be transferred to a functioning Palestinian state institution, he says

NEW YORK CITY: The head of the largest aid agency for Palestinians has warned that the full implementation of a new Israeli law preventing its workers from operating within the country would be “catastrophic” for Gaza, “massively” weaken the international humanitarian response there, and make already “dire and catastrophic” living conditions “immeasurably” worse.
It would also undermine the Gaza ceasefire agreement, said Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees.
He was speaking in New York where he earlier briefed the UN Security Council on the plight of the UNRWA, less than two weeks before the Israeli ban on the agency is due to take effect.
Lazzarini welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement and hostage-release deal in Gaza as a “starting point,” and stressed the “absolute” need for “rapid, unfettered” access for humanitarians to respond to the “tremendous suffering” in the territory.
The anti-UNRWA legislation, approved overwhelmingly by the Knesset in October, would bar the agency from operating within Israel and ban the country’s authorities from any contact with it.
The delivery of aid to Gaza and the West Bank requires close coordination between UNRWA and Israeli authorities. If the legislation is implemented as planned, Israel would no longer issue agency staff with work or entry permits, and the coordination with the Israeli military that is essential for ensuring safe passage for aid deliveries will no longer be possible.
Since the start of the war in Gaza, Israel has relentlessly condemned and attacked the aid agency. More than 260 of its staff have been killed; its schools, where displaced Palestinians sought shelter, were bombed; and a coordinated Israeli media campaign has attempted to discredit the agency by portraying it as a tool of Hamas.
Lazzarini said that though the Israeli government suggests the services provided by UNRWA could be delivered by other agencies, its mandate and capacity to provide public services to an entire population — including education for more than 600,000 Palestinian children, and healthcare — are “unique and far exceed any other entity.”
This means “these services, in reality, can only be transferred to a functioning state public institution,” said Lazzarini, adding that establishing such an institution is a task for the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, initiated last year by Saudi Arabia, the EU and the Arab League.
“UNRWA’s services are also tightly woven into the social fabric of Gaza,” he said. “The disintegration of the agency would intensify the breakdown of social order. So dismounting UNRWA outside the political process would undermine the ceasefire agreement, and sabotage Gaza’s recovery and the political transition.”
Turning to the situation in the West Bank, Lazzarini said the Palestinian Authority has stated clearly that it does not have the financial resources or capacity to make up for any loss of UNRWA services.
“A chaotic dismantling of UNRWA will irreversibly harm the lives and the future of the Palestinians, and I believe it will obliterate their trust in the international community and any solution it attempts to facilitate,” he added.
He reminded the Security Council during his briefing earlier in the day of “the fierce global disinformation campaign” mounted against the agency, and what he described as “the intense diplomatic lobbying by the government of Israel, as well as affiliated nongovernmental organizations, targeting UNRWA and governments of donor countries.”
According to Knesset figures, Israel has allocated an additional $150 million to its 2025 propaganda budget in an effort to reshape global opinions about its actions in Gaza, which critics allege amount to genocide.
Lazzarini said that “misinformation campaigns” have endangered UNRWA staff in the West Bank and Gaza, where 269 of them had been killed as of Friday.
“It has also created a permissive environment for the harassment of UN representatives wherever they are, including in Europe and in the United States,” he added.
Lazzarini said he urged the Security Council and UN member states to do what they can to persuade Israel not to implement the new legislation, and to ensure that the funding crisis the UNRWA faces does not abruptly halt the life-saving services it provides.
The agency was established by UN General Assembly in the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War to provide direct relief and works programs for Palestinian refugees.
Lazzarini said the attacks against the agency are attacks on the international multilateral system itself. While UN member states and donor countries, including EU countries, continue to publicly assert that UNRWA is irreplaceable in the absence of a Palestinian state, these statements of support have not been backed up by pressure on Israel to rethink its ban on the agency.
Asked by Arab News about this discrepancy between public statements and meaningful action, and whether or not it means Western countries are through lack of action undermining the very multilateral values upon which they were founded, Lazzarini said: “The same question could be asked about the importance of international humanitarian law and the blatant and constant disregard of that law.
“You can ask the same question about the disrespect for the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly. And you can ask the same question about (the International Court of Justice) ruling (that Israel’s actions in Gaza could amount to genocide).
“And so it’s obviously frustrating. What we have witnessed is an extraordinary ‘crisis of impunity,’ to the extent that international humanitarian law is almost becoming irrelevant if no mechanism is put in place to address this impunity.”

US Centcom chief meets Kurdish-led forces in Syria, urges repatriation of foreign Daesh fighters

9,000 Daesh detainees from over 50 different countries remain in SDF guarded detention facilities in Syria, CENTCOM said
Supported by the US, the SDF spearheaded the military campaign that ousted Daesh jihadists from Syria in 2019

BEIRUT: US Central Command said its chief met with Kurdish-led forces in northeast Syria and urged the repatriation of foreign Daesh fighters, as Kurds battle Turkiye-backed groups in the region.
General Michael Kurilla met US military commanders and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Thursday “to get an assessment” of efforts to defeat Daesh and prevent its regional resurgence, as well as “the evolving situation in Syria,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
The United States and other Western countries as well as Syria’s neighbors have emphasized the need for the country’s new rulers to combat “terrorism and extremism.”
Supported by Washington, the SDF spearheaded the military campaign that ousted Daesh (also known as IS) group jihadists from Syria in 2019 and controls dozens of prisons and camps where thousands of militants and their suspected relatives, including foreigners, are held.
SDF chief Mazloum Abdi said in a statement that he met Kurilla “recently” for a meeting that “was crucial for assessing Syria’s current situation and joint operations” against Daesh.
The SDF “reaffirmed the importance of strengthening partnerships and the critical role of the US in achieving a permanent ceasefire in Northeast Syria and ensuring security and stability across the entire country,” he added.
CENTCOM, which oversees US military operations in the Middle East, said Kurilla visited the Al-Hol camp which, together with a smaller facility, houses more than 40,000 people, many of them with ties to Daesh.
It added that “without international repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration efforts,” such camps “risk creating the next generation” of Islamic State members.
An additional 9,000 Daesh detainees “from over 50 different countries remain in over a dozen SDF guarded detention facilities in Syria,” CENTCOM said.
Neighbouring Turkiye, a key backer of Islamist-led rebels who ousted longtime Syrian ruler Bashar Assad last month, sees the main component of the SDF, the YPG People’s Protection Units, as affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
Both Turkiye and the United States consider the PKK a “terrorist” group. It has waged a decades-long insurgency on Turkish soil.

Turkiye has been threatening to launch a military operation against the SDF, prompting US-led diplomatic efforts to avert a major confrontation even as fighting continues.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Friday that battles between the SDF and Turkiye-backed fighters in the Manbij region and near a strategic dam had killed 401 people since December 12, most of them combatants.
Turkiye has offered Syria’s new leadership operational support in the fight against jihadist groups, and even offered to help run prisons holding IS fighters.
Earlier this month, the SDF said it held talks with Syria’s new authorities and expressed support for Syrian “unity.”
During a visit to Ankara this week, Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani said Syria would never allow its territory to be used as a staging ground for threats against Turkiye.
Syria would “work on removing these threats,” he said, referring to the SDF, the de-facto army of the semi-autonomous Kurdish-led administration that controls swathes of northeastern Syria.
On Thursday in Iraq, Abdi met Masoud Barzani, who heads the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan region, a statement from Barzani’s office said.
It noted the need for Syria’s Kurds “to reach understandings and agreements with the new authorities.”
The United States maintains troops in northern Syria as part of an anti-jihadist coalition.

Daughter of one of the oldest Israeli hostages hopes for answers in ceasefire deal

Daughter of one of the oldest Israeli hostages hopes for answers in ceasefire deal

Israel has killed more than 46,000 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry

LONDON: Sharone Lifschitz is well aware that the odds are against her 84-year-old father. As one of the oldest hostages taken by Hamas, Oded Lifshitz would be among the first to be released under a ceasefire deal expected to begin Sunday.
But after 469 days of captivity in Gaza, she can only hope he survived.
“We have learned so much about trauma, about losing loved ones,’’ the London-based artist said. “I have to say that we are prepared.’’
About 100 hostages remain unaccounted for in Gaza, including 62 who are believed to be alive. Family and friends are still waiting to learn who survived and about their conditions.
Lifschitz’s ordeal began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas militants stormed kibbutz Nir Oz, a place where her parents had created their own little kingdom, complete with a cactus garden that was her father’s pride. The militants took a quarter of the community’s 400 residents hostage that day, including her parents.
“My father was shot in the hand and was lying at the edge of his kingdom,’’ said Lifschitz, 53. “That’s when my mom saw him last, and she was taken over on a motorbike and then the terrorists burned the house down. They put gas into the house, and it burned and it burned and it burned until everything they ever owned, everything, was ashes.’’
Oded Lifshitz, who spells his name slightly differently than his daughter, wasn’t spared, even though he spent his life fighting for Arab rights.
Throughout a long career in journalism, Oded campaigned for the recognition of Palestinian rights and peace between Arabs and Jews. In retirement, he drove to the Erez border crossing on the northern edge of the Gaza Strip once a week to ferry Palestinians to medical appointments in Israel as part of a group called On the Way to Recovery.
Oded is most proud of his work on behalf of the traditionally nomadic Bedouin people of the Negev Desert, his daughter said, describing a case that went to Israel’s High Court and resulted in the return of some of their land.
That deep-seated hope for co-existence was evident when the militants released Lifschitz’s mother, Yocheved, on Oct. 23, 2023. Just before leaving Gaza, Yocheved turned to her captors and said “shalom,’’ the Hebrew word for peace.
Yocheved later described her experience as hell, saying she was beaten with sticks and held in a spider’s web of tunnels with as many as 25 other hostages. But she also said her guards provided medicine to those who needed it and gave the hostages pita bread with cheese and cucumber to eat.
Lifschitz said she wonders every day about her father’s treatment and how he is faring.
“I am the last one to put words into his mouth, but I can tell you that he spent a lifetime believing that another alternative is possible for Zionism, for socialism,” she said.
Hamas militants killed about 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages during the Oct. 7 attack. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched air and ground attacks on Gaza that have killed more than 46,000 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The ceasefire proposal calls for 33 hostages to be released over the next six weeks, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. The remainder, including the bodies of the dead, are to be released in a second phase that is still under negotiation. Hamas has said it will not release the remaining captives without a lasting ceasefire and a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
The contours of the agreement are strikingly similar to those negotiated by the administration of outgoing US President Joe Biden in May. But Israel rejected that deal.
That outraged the families of many of the captives, especially after hostages continued to die.
The families have pushed hard for their loved ones’ release, leading a series of protests to force the Israeli government to live up to its promise to bring the hostages home. They have also crisscrossed the globe, meeting with presidents, prime ministers and even the pope to keep the hostages at the center of negotiations.
“So many people were killed that should have been alive if they did not sabotage this deal,” Lifschitz said. “I hope that they know they will have to live with that for the rest of their life, and we will remind them. We will remind them of ... the suffering of both sides their action brought about.”
But even as she describes the anguish of the past 15 months, Lifschitz says she hopes the pain experienced by people on both sides of the conflict will breed compassion among both Israelis and Palestinians.
“We are about to receive our loved ones after so long where we were unable to love and care for them.’’ She said. “There’s so much trauma. I think people have to have a little softness toward it all, just feel it a bit in their hearts.
“I think feeling the pain of others is the start of building something better.’’
And if her father doesn’t come back? Then what?
“We will know,’’ she said. “We will know.’’

Canada will impose ‘Trump tax’ on US in response to tariffs, says foreign minister

Donald Trump has said he plans to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports
“We will be strong and unequivocal in our defense of Canada and Canadians,” says outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

MONTREAL: Americans will be hit by a “Trump tariffs tax” if the US president-elect increases customs duties on Canadian products, the Canadian foreign minister said Friday, pledging a hard-hitting response in any trade war.
Donald Trump, who returns to the White House next week, has said he plans to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports as part of his economic and foreign policy plans that also target Mexico, China and other trade partners.
“This would be the biggest trade war between Canada and the US in decades,” Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said. “The Americans would be starting a trade war against us.
“We are ready to put maximum pressure,” she said at a press conference in Washington, adding that Canada has a series of measures prepared if Trump carries out his threat, which would have a major impact on Canadian consumers and jobs.
A government source told AFP that Ottawa is considering higher duties on goods from the United States including steel products, ceramics like toilets and sinks, glassware and orange juice — in a first phase of tariffs that could be extended.
“We will be strong and unequivocal in our defense of Canada and Canadians,” said outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“The proposed tariffs would put American jobs at risk, raise prices for American consumers, put our collective security at risk and raise costs all across the continent.”
One scenario from Scotiabank suggests that a trade war could cause Canadian GDP to fall by more than five percent, increase unemployment significantly and fuel inflation.

Blinken says worried Trump administration may abandon key Biden foreign policy initiatives

Blinken says worried Trump administration may abandon key Biden foreign policy initiatives

WASHINGTON: Outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken told The Associated Press that he hopes the incoming Trump administration will press forward with key points in President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, including on the Middle East and Ukraine.
But in an wide-ranging interview Friday on his last workday as America’s top diplomat, he expressed concern that the Trump team might abandon all or some of those policies.
Blinken said there is reason to be concerned that the new administration might not follow through on initiatives that Biden’s national security team put into place to end the war in Gaza, keep Ukraine free of Russian interference and maintain strengthened alliances with key partners.
“When we came in, we inherited partnerships and alliances that were seriously frayed,” he said. “So if past is prologue, yes, it would be a concern.”
“I don’t know, can’t know, how they approach things,” he said. “I do think that there is, there could and I believe should, be some real continuity in a couple of places.”
President-elect Donald Trump has been skeptical of US alliances, including NATO and defense partnerships in the Asia-Pacific, all of which the Biden team has worked to shore up over the past four years. Trump has also been critical of US military aid to Ukraine and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But Trump’s incoming Middle East envoy has been deeply involved in helping the Biden administration broker a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas this week. Both incoming and outgoing presidents claimed credit for the breakthrough.
“The best laid plans: There’s, of course, no guarantee that our successors will look to them, rely on them,” Blinken said. “But at least there’s that option. At least they can decide whether this is a good basis for proceeding and make changes.”
Efforts to reach the Trump’s transition team for comment were not immediately successful.
Blinken and the Biden administration overall have been heavily criticized for their handling of the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and, more recently, for their support for Israel in its war against Hamas. Critics accuse them of not imposing meaningful restrictions on weapons shipments to Israel or pushing its ally hard enough to ease a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
On Thursday, protests accusing Blinken of complicity in Israeli violence against Palestinian civilians interrupted his final appearance in the State Department press briefing room, and demonstrators have routinely gathered outside his home.
Blinken lamented that the Biden administration has been diverted from its central foreign policy priorities by world developments, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Gaza crisis, all of which took time and energy away from pursuing core objectives, notably in the Indo-Pacific.
These are “not what we came in wanting or expecting to have to be focused on,” he said.
That said, he stressed that even as the administration dealt with those crises, it had still been determined to look at the rest of world, and had succeeded, in his estimation, at rebuilding frayed alliances and partnerships around the world.
“Rest of world: can’t lose sight of it,” he said. “Got to keep the focus on in the places where it really matters for America’s security and for America’s future.”
The interview, conducted in Blinken’s office on the seventh floor of the State Department, followed his farewell remarks to the agency’s staffers. He urged career personnel to carry on in their mission amid uncertainty about how the incoming administration will handle relationships and rivalries abroad or treat career American diplomats.
In that address to employees, Blinken paid tribute to their work over the past four years despite multiple challenges, ranging from Afghanistan and Ukraine to the Middle East.
“Without you in the picture, this world, our country would look so much different,” Blinken told a cheering crowd of several hundred staffers gathered at the department’s main Washington entrance, decorated with the flags of all countries with which the US has diplomatic relations.
“With you in the picture, both are so much better,” he said. “You’re working every day to make things just a little bit better, a little bit more peaceful, a little bit more full of hope, of opportunity. That’s your mission, and you do it so well.”
Trump has been publicly skeptical of the State Department and its traditional role in crafting administration foreign policy.
Trump once referred to the agency as the “Deep State Department,” and he and his associates have made no secret of their desire to purge career officials who do not show sufficient loyalty to the president. His choice to be Blinken’s successor, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, has said he respects the foreign service, but he has not yet detailed any plans for how the department will be managed.
Blinken called for staffers to remain resilient.
“This is a time of transition, and when we talk about transition, sometimes we talk about passing the baton. That’s what I’ll be doing,” he said. “But that’s not what most of you will be doing. Most of you come Monday, you will keep running, and what gives me more confidence than anything else is to know that that’s exactly what you’ll do.”
