United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed to Israel on Monday to "avoid further action that would exacerbate the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and to spare civilians from more suffering," a U.N. spokesperson said.
Activist investment firm Jana Partners is urging Frontier Communications to begin a strategic review, including a possible sale of the telecommunications company, arguing that its shares will continue to lag unless corrective action is taken. Jana, which in October called on the third-largest U.S. fiber broadband provider to sell itself, is now pressing Frontier's board to "immediately" start a comprehensive review process, according to a letter to the board seen by Reuters. Frontier's board should evaluate a possible sale of the company, a strategic partnership or joint venture, and selling off some non core assets to speed up the company's transition to a pure-play fiber provider, Jana said in the letter dated December 4.
U.S. President Joe Biden is relying on a small group of veteran advisers to help navigate the Israel-Hamas conflict that has killed thousands, split Western allies and risks spiraling into a wider war. A long-serving foreign policy adviser to Biden, Blinken, 61, has traveled to the Middle East three times since the conflict erupted, including six visits to Israel, juggling the need to show solidarity with Israel after the Hamas attacks with an effort to tamp down regional tensions. Shuttling between Israel and neighboring majority-Muslim states, he has pushed back on calls for a ceasefire, while also pressing Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza – notably during nine hours of negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet in October.
