Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Egypt Rejects Israeli Troops on Border; Namibia Blocks Vessel Heading to Israel with Weapons

HeadlineAug 29, 2024

Egypt has rejected any Israeli presence along its border with Gaza, including the Rafah border crossing and the Philadelphi Corridor. Israel’s military presence in the Philadelphi Corridor has become a point of contention in ceasefire talks, which Cairo has been hosting.

In other related news, Namibia has blocked a vessel suspected of carrying explosive weapons to Israel from docking at its ports. Rights groups had warned Namibian officials that allowing the vessel to dock could implicate Namibia in potential human rights violations.
