The boat was carrying some 260 Somalis and Ethiopians from the northern coast of Somalia on the 200-mile journey across the Gulf of Aden when it sank Monday off Yemen’s southern coast, officials said.

The human toll from Israel’s hostage rescue on Saturday has renewed questions about whether the country is doing enough to protect civilians in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

The U.S. military said Monday that it plans to stockpile aid shipments on a secure beach in Gaza during a U.N. pause on distributing food from the American-built pier after one of the deadliest days of the Israel-Hamas war.

The U.N. Security Council overwhelmingly approved its first resolution endorsing a cease-fire plan aimed at ending the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The vote on Monday on the U.S.-sponsored resolution was 14-0, with Russia abstaining.

Humanitarian groups said they were struggling to deliver aid in Gaza amid looting of their vehicles and the disruption caused by Israeli military operations.

Yemen’s Houthis said on Monday they have arrested an “American-Israeli spy cell,” a few days after the Iran-backed group detained about a dozen United Nations personnel.

Benny Gantz’s resignation from Israel’s war cabinet appears dramatic from afar but is unlikely to alter the course of the conflict in Gaza or influence other key policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel’s dramatic rescue of four hostages from inside Gaza, in an operation that health officials say killed 274 Palestinians, comes at a sensitive time in the 8-month-old war. Israel and Hamas are weighing an American-backed proposal for a cease-fire and the release of the remaining captives; both sides face renewed pressure to make a deal and end the war.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged top Israeli officials to accept and implement a plan for postwar Gaza as he pushed for more international pressure on Hamas to agree to a cease-fire proposal newly endorsed by the U.N. Security Council.

Missile attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have struck two ships in the Gulf of Aden, the latest assaults on shipping in the region.

The director of the U.N. World Food Program said the program has “paused” its distribution of humanitarian aid from an American-built pier off Gaza, saying she was “concerned about the safety of our people” after what had been one of the deadliest days of the war there.

Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Israel’s three-man war Cabinet, announced his resignation on Sunday.

The rescue of four hostages by the military was a cause for rare and intense celebration in Israel, but it also highlighted operational limitations and a growing desire for a hostage deal, ultimately increasing pressure on the prime minister.

At least 274 Palestinians including dozens of children were killed, and hundreds more were wounded, in the Israeli raid that rescued four hostages held by Hamas, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday.

The United States provided some intelligence that aided in Saturday’s rescue of four Israeli hostages, according to several people familiar with the matter.

A missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels hit an Antigua- and Barbuda-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, the latest assault on shipping in the region.

Badly needed aid has been delivered into Gaza from a newly repaired American-built pier, a U.S. official said, following problems that had plagued the effort to bring supplies to Palestinians by sea.

Another body was spotted off the coast of Libya on Saturday, a day after a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) rescue ship recovered the bodies of 11 migrants in the same area of the Mediterranean Sea and said it had saved more than 160 people from boats.

The D-8 group of developing nations called on Saturday for the U.S. to lift its veto on the full membership of Palestine as an independent and sovereign state in the United Nations.
