VIENNA (AP) — Iran’s supreme leader on Tuesday rejected direct negotiations with the United States over his country’s nuclear program, likely slamming the door shut on a last-ditch effort to halt the reimposition of United Nations sanctions on Tehran. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s remarks, aired on Iranian state television, likely constrain any possible outreach to the U.S. by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is in New York for the U.N.

Twenty-five members of the Hussari family lived in a five-storey home in al-Shati (Beach) camp, overlooking the destroyed harbour on the western edge of Gaza City. Today, that house is a grave. Only three family members survived a massive Israeli attack last week, as drones and quadcopters strafed the area and shot those who attempted to rescue or recover bodies. Among those killed was Yara, a sixth-year medical student practising as a doctor. Neighbours dug through the concrete and iron with their bare hands to pull out the bodies of two children. One relative recalled hearing faint cries beneath the…

At the time of the hearing, the death toll in Gaza was just under 24,000, according to the Gaza health ministry. Since then it…
