Europeans submit draft resolution against Iran to IAEA board, text shows

VIENNA: Britain, France and Germany have formally submitted a draft resolution against Iran to the UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors for it to be voted on later this week, the text sent on to member states by the watchdog showed on Monday.
The draft text seen by Reuters follows up on a resolution passed 18 months ago ordering Tehran to urgently comply with an International Atomic Energy Agency investigation into uranium traces found at undeclared sites in Iran. Iran still has not explained traces found at two sites, the IAEA said on Monday.

Israel renews demolition order for refugee camp football pitch near Bethlehem

  • The Aida field has been scheduled for demolition since November

LONDON: Israeli authorities on Monday renewed a demolition order for a seven-a-side football pitch in Aida Refugee Camp, north of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

Munther Amira, head of the Aida Youth Center, said Israeli forces had informed the charity of the order to demolish the football field, claiming it was built without a permit.

He added that they posted the demolition order at the pitch gate in the Khallat Hamama area, on the outskirts of the Aida camp near the separation wall, according to official news agency Wafa.

The order gives the site owners a week to demolish it; otherwise, the Israeli authorities, which maintain a military occupation in the area, will carry out the work and the owners would be subject to fines and potential imprisonment.

The Aida football field has been scheduled for demolition since November last year.
