Morning brief: India's top court to hear Kejriwal's urgent bail plea; Gaza war updates, and more
Morning brief: Here's a look at the top stories.
Two Indian courts on Friday (Mar 22) will likely hear the matter over the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal, the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. He had moved to the Supreme Court following his arrest but did not receive any special hearing late at night.
An online spat has erupted between the United Kingdom (UK) and Israel as the war between Israeli forces and Hamas rages on in the Gaza Strip. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron accused Israel of deliberately blocking aid supplies to Gaza by erecting procedural barriers. The spat reportedly resulted in the suspension of a British-born spokesperson of Israel who had disputed Cameron’s claims on social media.
In other news from around the world, Russia launched a barrage of missiles on Ukraine's capital city Kyiv on Thursday morning. Such a missile attack was launched for the first time in six weeks.
