Alistair Bunkall: President Zelenskyy, Alistair from Sky News. President Trump is facing pretty difficult midterm elections. His personal popularity is very low. Diesel prices in the US are very high. And the war that he started in the Middle East is not going the way he wants it. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?

President Zelenskyy: [Smiles] This is my answer.

Alistair Bunkall: Thank you so much.

Asked whether Netanyahu should be prosecuted, Navi Pillay says he and other Israeli leaders should face trial. Her warning: countries have a duty to prevent genocide, not wait until it’s too late.

Clip via Middle East Eye. Original interview: Sky News, 14 October 2026.

Maryam Ahmed Ghanem was only about three years old when an Israeli airstrike hit her home in western Gaza City before dawn on October 14, 2026, engulfing the apartment in flames and killing her mother. Journalist Ali al-Jaafarawi carried her out through the fire and smoke. Her father had already been killed earlier in the war. Now she has neither parent.

This is the human cost of the IDF’s butchery: a little girl pulled from her burning home, left to grow up without her mother or father. Saving her life cannot undo what was taken from her. When will those responsible face accountability?

At first, I was wondering why this video was getting so much attention. But with everything happening in Sudan, it puts things into perspective. People are facing conflict and uncertainty every day, and the country needs leadership that takes their struggles seriously. Civilian safety and the future of Sudanese families should always come first.
