G20 finance chiefs to meet under tariff cloud in South Africa
DURBAN: G20 finance chiefs will meet in South Africa on Thursday under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats and questions over their ability to tackle global challenges together. The club, which came to fore as a forum for international cooperation to combat the global financial crisis, has for years been hobbled by disputes among key players exacerbated by Russia's war in Ukraine and Western sanctions on Moscow. Host South Africa, under its presidency motto "Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability," has aimed to promote an African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate change action. The G20 aims to coordinate policies but its agreements are non-binding. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will not attend the two-day meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors in the coastal city of Durban, marking his second absence from a G20 event in South Africa this year. Bessent also skipped February's Cape Town gathering, where several officials from China, Japan and Canada were also absent, even though Washington is due to assume the G20 rotating presidency at the end of the year. Michael Kaplan, U.S. acting undersecretary for international affairs, will represent Washington at the meetings. A G20 delegate, who asked not to be named, said Bessent's absence was not ideal but that the United States was engaging in discussions on trade, the global economy and climate language. Finance ministers from India, France and Russia are also set to miss the Durban meeting. South Africa's central bank governor Lesetja Kganyago said that representation was what mattered most. "What matters is, is there somebody with a mandate sitting behind the flag and are all countries represented with somebody sitting behind the flag?" Kganyago told Reuters. U.S. officials have said little publicly about their plans for the presidency next year, but one source familiar with the plans said Washington would reduce the number of non-financial working groups, and streamline the summit schedule. Brad Setser, a former U.S. official now at the Council on Foreign Relations, said he expected it to be "kind of a scaled-back G20 with less expectation of substantive outcomes." 'TURBULENT TIMES' Trump's tariff policies have torn up the global trade rule book. With baseline levies of 10% on all U.S. imports and targeted rates as high as 50% on steel and aluminium, 25% on autos and potential levies on pharmaceuticals, extra tariffs on more than 20 countries are slated to take effect on August 1. His threat to impose further 10% tariffs on BRICS nations — of which eight are G20 members — has raised fears of fragmentation within global forums. German finance ministry sources said on Tuesday that the Durban meeting would seek to deepen global relationships in "turbulent times". South Africa's Treasury Director General Duncan Pieterse said the group nonetheless hoped to issue the first communique under the South African G20 presidency by the end of the meetings. The G20 was last able to take a mutually agreed stance to issue a communique in July of 2024, agreeing on the need to resist protectionism but making no mention of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Israel Opens New Military Corridor in Southern Gaza
Israel has opened a new military corridor in southern Gaza, known as the Magen Oz corridor, amid its ongoing offensive against Hamas. Stretching approximately 15 kilometers, the corridor runs east to west through Khan Younis, effectively bisecting the city. This new development is part of a broader Israeli strategy to fragment Gaza into smaller zones, allowing for tighter military control and increased pressure on Hamas forces operating in the region. The Magen Oz corridor links up with the pre-existing Morag Corridor, helping to isolate Khan Younis from Rafah and other surrounding areas. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that the corridor's purpose is to significantly restrict the movement of Hamas militants, particularly the Khan Younis Brigade, and to dismantle their infrastructure. The operation to establish the corridor was carried out by the IDF's 36th Division, which includes elite units like the 188th Armored Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade. These forces reportedly engaged in intense combat during the clearing operations, targeting underground tunnels and militant hideouts. The success of this maneuver means that Israel now operates four major military corridors in Gaza—Netzarim, Philadelphi, Morag, and now Magen Oz—further tightening its grip on the territory. While the strategic purpose of the Magen Oz corridor is clear from a military perspective, the humanitarian fallout has raised serious concerns. Thousands of Palestinian civilians displaced by the conflict now face even more limited access to aid and safe zones. The division of Khan Younis adds to the already chaotic landscape, making the delivery of humanitarian assistance increasingly difficult. Twenty-one Palestinians were killed on Wednesday, July 16, when gas was fired into the crowd, causing a crush at an aid center in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to the enclave's Health Ministry. Israel's use of corridor systems in Gaza is also being viewed as a form of political leverage. With ceasefire talks stalling, the increasing fragmentation of the territory may serve to pressure Hamas into negotiations under less favorable terms. The opening of the new military corridor follows the Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz's announcement of a plan for a concentration camp in Rafah. The opening of the Magen Oz corridor not only signals a significant shift in the tactical landscape of Gaza but also the political and humanitarian dynamics at play. As Israel continues to build and enforce these military routes, the international community is watching closely, weighing the balance between security objectives and humanitarian responsibilities. The long-term impact of these corridors will depend not just on military outcomes but also on the success of diplomatic efforts and adherence to international law.

Israel Strikes Near the Syrian Presidential Palace
Israel launched a significant airstrike targeting military installations in Damascus, including the Syrian defence ministry and an area adjacent to the presidential palace on Wednesday, July 16. A Reuters witness confirmed the raid, marking a sharp escalation in Israeli military activity centered on Syria's capital. The Israeli military, the IDF, stated the strikes were a direct response to ongoing assaults against the Druze minority in southern Syria, particularly around Suwayda. Defence Minister Israel Katz had earlier demanded that the Syrian government 'leave Druze alone,' linking the aggression in Suwayda with the decision to carry out precision airstrikes in Damascus. Syria's Health Ministry later reported that at least one person was killed and 28 more wounded in the Damascus strikes. These airstrikes heavily damaged the defence ministry building and struck proximate to the presidential palace compound, demonstrating Israel's intention to hit high-value military targets. The escalation follows days of intense clashes in Suwayda between Druze forces and Bedouin tribes. Israel has repeatedly portrayed these air operations as protective measures for the Druze, which it views as aligned with Israel's Druze minority communities. Syrian state agencies denounced the strike near the presidential palace as a "dangerous escalation" and accused Israel of breaching Syrian sovereignty. Syria's state media shared the Interior Ministry's statement about a Suwayda ceasefire deal; however, Israel has not commented on this deal. This article was previously published on kuwaitmoments.
