Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, 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.
