In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

Tens of thousands gathered in Seiyun on Sunday to support the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) declaring an independent 'South Arabia,' backing its recent military advances into Hadramaut and Al-Mahrah to secure against Houthi smuggling and Islah influence. The rally followed STC's 'Operation Promising Future,' which seized key bases, buildings, and oil sites from Saudi-backed forces, with participants calling it a 'popular referendum' and leaders hinting at statehood. While STC frames the actions as anti-terrorism protection, Saudi Arabia warned of consequences, Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council condemned the moves as chaotic, and critics questioned crowd turnout amid tribal wariness of separatism. Thousands rallied again in Mukalla on Monday, underscoring fractures in southern Yemen over unity and control of vital oil fields.

The photo underscores the islands' diverse beauty in a compact space.
