University antisemitism ’significantly higher’ than before 7 October attacks
The number of antisemitic incidents at British universities is "significantly higher" than before the 7 October attacks nearly three years ago, a charity has warned.
Was Netanyahu warned of October 7 Hamas attacks?
Benjamin Netanyahu travelled secretly to the United Arab Emirates over the weekend, Israeli media has reported, to ask its leader to deny claims he had warned the Israeli prime minister about a looming Hamas threat ahead of the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel. Netanyahu himself has confirmed making the secret trip, but denies he urged his UAE counterpart to do anything of the kind. France 24’s Douglas Herbert takes a closer look.
