• Canada's same-sex marriage: Three days of hearings by the Supreme Court of Canada on the federal government's referral of a bill to legalize gay marriage are underway. The court will hear arguments from both sides of the debate and review the constitutionality of the bill. It is unlikely that a ruling will be made for several months.

• UNRWA refutes Israel's claim of having detained 13 members of its staff in Gaza. A spokesperson said that a member from Gaza's staff was in detention for two year, but that he knew nothing about anyone else being held in Israeli custody. Israel disputed its earlier statement and admitted that 13 was referring to those detained over the last four years, although some are no longer in custody.
