Yemen threatens UAE anew
Sana’a renews its warning to the United Arab Emirates to end its aggression against Yemeni people. In tweet, army spokesman Yahya Saree noted that the safety of the Expo being held in Dubai depends on the UAE’s conduct. Saree had earlier warned that the UAE will come under continued strikes as long as it targets Yemeni people. On Monday, the Yemeni army launched a third operation against the United Arab Emirates, hitting significant targets including sensitive facilities in the capital, Abu Dhabi. The UAE is part of the Saudi-led coalition that has been waging a war on Yemen since March 2015. Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, mostly civilians, have been killed in the onslaught.
US supports Israel apartheid
The United States rejects the view that Israel's actions towards the Palestinians constitute apartheid. The spokesperson for the US State Department says they have never used such terminology.

The remarks come after an International rights group accused Israel of apartheid for its treatment of Palestinians. The claim also prompted an angry response from Tel Aviv, which has denounced the report as anti-Semitic. Meanwhile, Iran has condemned Israel for following racist, expansionist policies. Tehran says Israel remains as the only apartheid regime in the world despite outstanding calls from the international community to stop its violations f Palestinian rights.
