2 million rally in Paris as the world joins France in condemning terrorism.

Nearly two million people marched in the streets of Paris on Sunday in an expression of grief and resolve following three days of terrorist violence perpetrated by radical Islamist militants.

In all, more than three million people have taken part in unity marches across France after 17 people died during three days of deadly attacks in Paris.

More than 40 world leaders joined the start of the Paris march, linking arms in an act of solidarity.

The marchers wanted to demonstrate unity after the attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, police officers, and a kosher supermarket.

The French government said the rally turnout was the highest on record.

Israel aims to bury idea of Palestinian state by announcing new West Bank settlement

Israel’s far-right finance minister announced approval of contentious new settlement construction in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Thursday 14 August, which Palestinians and rights groups worry will scuttle plans for a future Palestinian state by effectively cutting the West Bank into two separate parts. The announcement, reported by international agencies, comes as many countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, France and Canada, said they would recognise a Palestinian state in September. “This reality finally buries the idea of a Palestinian state, because there is nothing to recognise and no one to recognise,” said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich during a ceremony on Thursday.
