India says awaiting details from Canada on Indians arrested

Sources in the India government say they'll wait for Canadian authorities to share more details on the arrest of three Indian nationals.

Police in Canada say the men have been arrested for possible involvement in the death of a Sikh separatist leader.

Last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had claimed Indian government agents had a possible role in his killing, a charge New Delhi denied.

Speaking over the weekend, India's Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar once again dismissed the allegations of India's involvement and accused Canada of harbouring 'wanted criminals'.

US stops arms shipment for Israel

The United States halted a shipment of US-made ammunition bound for Israel, according to two Israeli officials. 


It's the first time in since the war in Gaza began that the US — Israel's biggest financial and arms backer — has put on hold a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military.


The White House National Security Council insists Washington will continue to "do what is necessary to ensure Israel can defend itself from the threats it faces," but this move is raising serious concerns within both governments.

Houthi rebel group offers places at Yemeni universities for suspended US students

A US-designated terrorist organisation is offering places at universities in Yemen for students who've been suspended from American colleges after staging anti-Israel protests.


In a remarkable move, the Iran-backed Houthi militia — which made headlines for disrupting global shipping in support of Palestinians in the Gaza conflict — is now presenting educational opportunities for those punished for participating in demonstrations on campuses in the United States. 


Police have arrested more than 1000 people stateside after protests and Gaza solidarity encampments took hold at major schools nationwide, with students and staff demanding a boycott of companies or individuals with ties to Israel.
