South Africa: Ma... This cartoon supplied by the artist depicts South Africa president Jacob Zuma, left, holding a clothes hanger from which the once robust former president nelson Mandela dangles limply, eyelids sagging. This cartoon by Dov Fedler , which appeared last month, makes light of a visit Zuma, had with Mandela. After the encounter at Mandela’s home, Zuma cheerily said the 94-year-old was up and about, in good spirits and doing well. But the images carried by state TV showed Mandela sitting with a blanket covering his legs, silent and unmoving with his cheeks showing what appear to be marks from a recently removed oxygen mask. Mandela did not acknowledge Zuma, who sat right next to Mandela. The footage unsettled some viewers who considered the visit to be a stunt to make Zuma look good. The ANC insisted it had no ulterior motive ahead of elections next year, and that it was only showing respect for a living national treasure. (AP Photo/Dov Fedler) SOUTH AFRICA OUT

Israel, Palestin... ** FILE ** In this Sept. 30, 2000 file image from television, Jamal al-sutra signals his position while protecting his 12-year-old son Mohammed al-Dura, as they shelter behind a barrel from crossfire near Netzarim Jewish settlement in the southern Gaza Strip. More than a dozen years later, the death of a Palestinian boy allegedly shot by Israeli troops in Gaza continues to stir emotions on both sides of the conflict. A new Israeli report that tries to debunk the Palestinian narrative of the incident shows no signs of ending the saga, which for Palestinians has became a symbol of Israeli oppression and for Israel is a nasty smear campaign aimed at demonizing it.

Hezbollah pulled... Hezbollah fighters in their military uniform, foreground, carry the coffin of Hezbollah fighter Hassan Faisal Shuker, 18, who was killed in a battle against Syrian rebels in the Syrian town of Qusair, during his funeral procession in his hometown of Nabi Sheet in the eastern Bekaa valley, Lebanon, Monday May 20, 2013. Fierce street fighting in Qusair, Syria, near the Lebanese border has killed at least 28 elite members of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, activists said Monday, as Syrian government forces pushed deeper into the strategic, opposition-held town. The barefaced Hezbollah involvement -- several funerals for group members were held in Lebanon Monday -- edges the war further into a regional sectarian conflict pitting the Middle East’s Iranian-backed Shiite axis against Sunnis.
