An honour to present @UTVNews for the first time this evening.
Grateful for the opportunity after a lot of work went into making this happen.
I wore my granddad's tie that he gave me for my first ever job interview. I'm sure he'd be glad it's been put to good use.

A week and a half before October 7, 2023 UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Abu Dhabi and spoke with him for 45 minutes.
In that conversation, bin Zayed warned that Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel.
Bin Zayed urged Netanyahu to take the situation seriously. To his surprise, however, the prime minister reacted with relative calm. Netanyahu said that, in his assessment, Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank area, and he reassured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario.

To be clear, this is an opinion column in a major Israeli newspaper advocating ethnic cleansing.
Opinion: The only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of “another people” is to remove “the other people” from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself.

21-month-old Jawad Abu Nassar was detained alongside his father by Israeli forces in central Gaza — and returned to his family ten hours later, alone.
Doctors found wounds on his legs consistent with cigarette burns and signs of torture.
The Israeli military denies abusing the child, and says his father — who remains missing — was a Hamas member who used him as a human shield. It has not publicly provided evidence to support that claim.
Watch the full report from @sparkomat ⬇️. Warning: contains some distressing images.
