Turkey refused to allow Israeli President Isaac Herzog's plane to pass through its airspace en route to Azerbaijan for the COP29 climate summit.

The decision by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's administration blocked the shortest and safest route to Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, amid heightened tensions over Israel's military actions in Gaza and Lebanon.

Herzog’s office announced on Saturday that he would not participate in the summit, citing "security considerations" but providing no further details.

New Zealand’s government is trying to backtrack on human rights protections for the Maori people, the indigenous people of New Zealand and the cook islands.

Indigenous people in parliament have protested the bill with their famous cry, the "Haka", which they had used to confront the British invasion in 1863.

The Maori people are still paying the price of Britain's occupation of their lands.

The bill to reinterpret a 184-year-old treaty between the British and Indigenous Māori has caused protests all across New Zealand.

A group of academics, intellectuals, human rights advocates, and representatives from the media and civil society organizations gathered in London last week, the capital of the UK, to launch the symbolic “Gaza Tribunal,” an independent initiative serving as a “court of humanity and conscience.”

Led by Richard Falk, a distinguished international law expert and former UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, the tribunal is taking an alternative route to international justice, aiming to spotlight voices from civil society in the examination of abuses following the conflict that escalated after Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
