Rwanda

The Metro newspaper reports that a new treaty concerning asylum has been signed by Home Secretary James Cleverly and the foreign secretary of Rwanda. The treaty states that Rwanda will take in illegal immigrants on behalf of the UK. Mr Cleverly expressed his belief that the issues highlighted by the Supreme Court have been resolved by this new agreement.

According to The Daily Telegraph, there are reports that around 10 government officials are considering leaving their positions if the government takes a strict stance on Rwanda and utilizes emergency laws to bypass the European Convention on Human Rights. The newspaper notes that this legislation may not be made public until Wednesday, as there are internal disputes within the government about its severity.

Some newspaper articles discuss what the government will do with the new laws meant to send migrants to Rwanda. The Daily Telegraph suggests that if Rishi Sunak takes a strong stance and bypasses the European Convention on Human Rights, as the immigration minister Robert Jenrick wants, up to 10 ministers may resign. This approach would mean that ministers could neglect the Human Rights Act and the European Convention as it relates to asylum, and also remove the opportunity for legal review.

According to some news sources, Mr. Sunak is planning to avoid certain rules from Europe, while others report that he won't take an extreme stance. In the middle, the prime minister has decided not to withdraw from the European Convention, but will instead remove certain parts of the Human Rights Act to keep deportation flights from being halted by legal challenges in British courts. It seems that Mr. Sunak has conveyed to other government officials that it's important to maintain the appearance that Britain is not violating its obligations under the European Convention. This is because there's a worry that people might make unfavorable comparisons to countries like Russia and Belarus.

The Daily Express recently published an editorial expressing support for the government's proposed solution to stop the dangerous small boat crossings.

Mr Griffiths adds that efforts by the US to persuade Israelis to take additional measures to safeguard civilians have been unsuccessful, leading to a nonstop rate of destruction.
