Slovenia leads UN push for Gaza ceasefire, vote expected Wednesday
HAMILTON (Canada), June 4 — Slovenia, on behalf of the elected members of the UN Security Council, put forward a draft resolution on Tuesday calling for an 'immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire' in the Gaza Strip and requested a vote for Wednesday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. The document, which was obtained by Anadolu, expresses 'grave concern over the catastrophic humanitarian situation, including the risk of famine,' and recalls the obligation of all parties to abide by international humanitarian and human rights law. The text also reaffirms support for efforts by Egypt, Qatar and the US to implement a multi-phase ceasefire outlined in Resolution 2735 (2024), aimed at securing the release of hostages, the return of remains and a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, leading to reconstruction. It also demands the 'immediate and unconditional lifting of all restrictions' on humanitarian aid and calls for safe and unimpeded distribution 'at scale' throughout the enclave. The resolution underlines the importance of restoring essential services in accordance with humanitarian principles. Israel, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a devastating offensive in Gaza since October 2023, killing over 54,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among the enclave's more than two million inhabitants. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war crimes against civilians in the enclave. — Bernama-Anadolu

Bee-nado! Swarm warning after truck tips in Washington, setting 250 million insects free
LOS ANGELES, May 31 — A truck crash that set 250 million bees free has sparked warnings in the western US, with police telling people to avoid swarms of the stinging insects. The accident happened in Washington state in the far northwest of the country, when a semi trailer carrying a load of hives overturned. '250 million bees are now loose,' wrote Whatcom County Sheriff on its social media page. 'AVOID THE AREA due to the potential of bee escaping and swarming'. Roads in the region, which nestles the border with Canada and is just 30 miles from Vancouver, have been closed as bee experts help with the clean-up. While some beekeepers aim only to produce honey, many others rent out their hives to farmers who need the insects to pollinate their crops. — AFP
