1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail (SATANS)drew the third part of the stars of heaven,(1/3RD OF ANGELS FELL WITH SATAN AT THE FALL WHO ARE DEMONIC FALLIN ANGELS-DEMONS) and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman (ISRAEL) which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.(SATANS LAST HOLOCAUST TO TRY TO DESTROY ISRAEL FOREVER)
5 And she brought forth a man child,(MARY DID-JESUS WHO IS(JEWISH) who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman (MARY WHOS JEWISH REPRESENTING ISRAEL)fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.(3 1/2 YRS PROTECTED IN PETRA JORDAN)
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.(SATAN-DEMONS KICKED OUT OF THE HEAVENS-CAN ONLY DESTROY ON THE EARTH NOW.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.(BY BEHEADING)

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.(GOD PROBABLY CREATES A QUAKE TO SWALLOW THE TSUNAMI WATERS)

'Instead of walking you down the aisle, we are walking with you to your graves'Yaron Lischinsky, Sarah Milgrim named as victims of Washington, DC, shooting-Both victims were embassy employees, who were about to get engaged; couple worked and advocated for Israeli-Arab coexistence By Zev Stub,ToI Staff and JTA Today, 12:24 pm-MAY 22,25
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were named on Thursday morning as the victims of the Wednesday night shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.Lischinsky and Milgrim were both employees at the Israeli Embassy in Washington. According to Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter, the two were about to be engaged and Lischinsky had purchased a ring this week with the intent to propose next week in Jerusalem.Tal Naim Cohen, a spokesperson for the embassy, said the two were shot at close range while attending a Jewish event at the museum.“Yaron and Sarah, Words cannot begin to describe the heartbreak and sorrow. Just this morning, we were still laughing together by the coffee corner — and now, all that remains is a picture,” she wrote in a later post.“Instead of walking you down the aisle, we are walking with you to your graves. What an unbearable loss,” she said.Lischinsky, 28, moved to Israel from Germany at the age of 16. He moved to the US in September 2022 to work in the political department of the Israeli Embassy in Washington.According to the bio on his Times of Israel blog, Lischinsky had a master’s degree in Government, Diplomacy & Strategy from Reichman University and a bachelor’s in International Relations from Hebrew University.He wrote on his LinkedIn page: “I’m an ardent believer in the vision that was outlined in the Abraham Accords and believe that expanding the circle of peace with our Arab neighbors and pursuing regional cooperation is in the best interest of the State of Israel and the Middle East as a whole. To this end, I advocate for interfaith dialogue and intercultural understanding.”Milgrim worked in the public diplomacy department at the embassy. She held a master’s degree in international studies from American University and an additional master’s degree in natural resources and sustainable development from the United Nations University of Peace.“My passion lies at the intersection of peacebuilding, religious engagement, and environmental work,” Milgram wrote on her LinkedIn page. “While working with Tech2Peace in Tel Aviv, Israel, I conducted comprehensive research on peacebuilding theory, emphasizing grassroots initiatives in the Israeli-Palestinian region”“My diverse experiences, including facilitating insightful discussions on geopolitics in Israel and Palestine as a Jewish Educator, and researching an array of environmental topics in India and Central America, reflect my commitment to fostering understanding between different peoples,” she wrote.Milgrim grew up in the Kansas City suburbs and was a teenager when a white supremacist shot and killed three people at Jewish institutions in that city. In her senior year of high school, she was active in responding after swastikas were painted at her high school. “I worry about going to my synagogue and now I have to worry about safety at my school and that shouldn’t be a thing,” she told a local news station at the time.The embassy wrote on X that “Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives. This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC.”“The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss. Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.”The embassy shared a photo of the couple together that Lischinsky had posted on Twitter this month. It appeared to have been taken during an event at the embassy to mark Israel’s 77th Independence Day.The two were killed Wednesday night as they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when the suspect approached a group of four people and opened fire, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference.The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, was observed pacing outside the museum before the shooting.He walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by event security, Smith said.When he was taken into custody, Rodriguez chanted, “Free, free Palestine,” Smith said. Smith said law enforcement did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the community.The shooting was widely condemned by Israeli, US and world leaders as a despicable antisemitic crime, with the US vowing to prosecute the shooter to the full extent of the law.
'Our community is holding each other tighter tonight'-Pain, anger for US Jews at killings of Israel Embassy staffers, amid ‘a relentless campaign of hate’ADL says Jews will not be cowed or intimidated amid spiraling rise in antisemitism since October 7 massacre and Gaza war; Betar urges US Jews to move to Israel-By Zev Stub-Today, 12:04 pm-MAY 22,25
The American Jewish community reacted with a mix of a mix of pain, anger, and shock after the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff members outside a Jewish museum in Washington, DC late Wednesday night.Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down after leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum put on by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) for young diplomats. The couple was set to travel next week to Jerusalem to get engaged and Lischinsky had recently purchased a ring, according to Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter.Police said the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, yelled, “Free, free Palestine” after he was arrested.The attack was the latest in a relentless trend of growing antisemitism around the US since Hamas launched its war against Israel with a savage assault on October 7, 2023. A record 9,354 antisemitic cases of harassment, vandalism, and assault were recorded in the US in 2024, translating to more than one every hour, the Anti-Defamation League recently reported.Following the shooting, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt spoke out defiantly, saying the Jewish community would not be cowed or silenced.“This shooting strikes a nerve because it comes after an unrelenting, ongoing campaign of hate and harassment targeting the Jewish community simply because of who we are and what we believe,” he wrote on X.“What they fail to grasp is that we will not be intimidated,” he continued. “We will not be silenced. We will not cower or quiver or shake. Without a doubt, we will mourn and we will grieve and then we will press on with renewed determination and resolve. We will fight for our rights. We will defend our beliefs. We will protect our community, now and forever.”Other major organizations expressed horror and grief over the attack.“We are devastated that two cherished friends and partners from the Israeli embassy were shot and killed as they left an AJC event at the Capital Jewish Museum earlier this evening,” said AJC CEO Ted Deutch. “This is a shocking act of violence, and our community is holding each other tighter tonight.”“At this painful moment, we mourn with the victims’ families, loved ones, and all of Israel. May their memories be for a blessing,” Deutch said.Meanwhile, the Jewish Federations of North America said it was “horrified” by the murder, and was working closely with security partners in the area to monitor the situation and keep Jewish communities informed.“The safety and security of the community is our top priority, and we will not rest until that safety is fully restored,” the organization said.‘Globalize the intifada’Several organizations focused on fighting antisemitism issued stronger condemnations.“This murder didn’t happen in a vacuum, but is the direct result of the incessant hatred by those who call to ‘Globalize the Intifada.’ For those who wondered about the context of whether a particular chant was hate speech or antisemitic, this is what it looks like when physically manifested,” the Combat Antisemitism Movement said in a statement. “We have warned about the growing violence of the far-left, and now it seems that our deepest fears have come true.”Calls to globalize the intifada have been a frequent refrain at anti-Israel rallies across US campuses. The chants referred to periods of deadly Palestinian terror attacks against Israeli civilians in the late 1980s and early 1990s and again in the early 2000s, including widespread suicide bombings, in which over a thousand Israelis were killed.The far-right Betar US movement called on the US to respond to the attack by deporting illegal pro-Hamas agitators around the US, a move US President Donald Trump has floated and a cause Betar US has been aggressively promoting.“Sadly, as we mourn this loss, we remind Jews that Aliyah [immigrating to Israel] is the best solution,” Betar added.More Jewish community leaders are expected to react after daybreak in the US.Both victims were outspoken advocates for peacebuilding, interfaith dialogue, and intercultural understanding in the Middle East.Lischinky, 28, was a research assistant for Middle East & North African Affairs at the Israeli Embassy’s Political Department in Washington, DC. He moved to Israel from Germany at the age of 16. He moved to the US in September 2022 to work at the embassy.Milgrim, a US native, worked in the public diplomacy department at the embassy and held a master’s degree in international studies from American University and an additional master’s degree in natural resources and sustainable development from the United Nations University of Peace.
US university bans student for commencement speech calling to divest from Israel-Speaker at George Washington graduation urges alumni not to donate, decries Gaza ‘genocide’; DC school apologizes for ‘inappropriate’ speech that strayed from approved text By Andrew Lapin Today, 12:05 pm-MAY 22,25
JTA — George Washington University said recently that it will ban a student commencement speaker from campus after she used her graduation speech to decry “genocide” in Gaza and urged her graduating class not to donate to the school until it agrees to divest from Israel.Pro-Israel students and alumni had urged the school to discipline the speaker and a dean who thanked her for “sharing your words and your views.” The dean’s profile no longer appears on GWU’s website.It is at least the second prestigious university this season to take disciplinary action against a student commencement speaker for remarks related to Israel. New York University said it would withhold the diploma of a speaker there who denounced “genocide” and “atrocities currently happening in Palestine” in his speech last week.GWU apologized and announced an investigation after Cecilia Culver made the comments while addressing the school’s liberal arts college on Saturday.The next day, the school announced the penalty, saying Culver’s conduct “was inappropriate and dishonest” because she had delivered a different speech from the one she had submitted.The statement added that Culver “has been barred from all GW’s campuses and sponsored events elsewhere,” and that it was continuing to conduct “a thorough review” with potential additional “accountability actions” to follow.Culver had to take frequent breaks for sustained applause she received during her speech, delivered at GWU’s largest graduation ceremony.“For over a year, we have watched a genocide be committed against Palestinians,” she said, adding, “I cannot celebrate my own graduation without a heavy heart, knowing how many students in Palestine have been forced to stop their studies, expelled from their homes, and killed for simply remaining in the country of their ancestors.”She continued, “I am ashamed that my own tuition is being used to fund genocide. I’m going to say that again. I am ashamed to know that my own tuition is being used to fund this genocide.”Noting that GWU students, faculty and staff have pressed the school to “divest from the apartheid state of Israel,” Culver continued, “The administration has refused to negotiate in good faith.”She continued, “Instead, our money is put into the pockets of those who unequivocally prove, time and time again, they do not care about the students and faculty that create this university.” It was unclear who Culver was referring to.Culver also made a call for her fellow graduating class “to withhold donations and continue advocating for disclosure and divestment,” concluding, “None of us are free until Palestine is free.”Following the conclusion of her speech, one of the college’s deans, Kavita Daiya, remarked, “We represent a variety of views, and we thank you for sharing your words and your views.”Culver’s speech, and Daiya’s acknowledgement of it, touched off a protest letter purportedly signed by more than 700 GWU students, parents and alums urging the school to rescind Culver’s diploma and force Daiya to apologize.The letter-writers, whose organizers include the ardently pro-Israel groups Jews In School, Students Supporting Israel and Israel War Room, said they believed the speech was “filled with demonstrably fabricated accusations of genocide and apartheid directed at Israel” and that the dean’s comments amounted to “a dereliction of duties to return the celebration to neutrality.”“This was not merely a disruption — it was a targeted, ideologically charged tirade that desecrated what should have been a unifying academic celebration,” stated the letter, which purported to speak for “the Jewish and Israeli community.” More than one-quarter of GWU’s student body is estimated to be Jewish, according to Hillel International.Letter organizer Sabrina Soffer, a recent GWU Judaic Studies graduate who spoke at the November 2023 March for Israel in Washington, DC, said on Instagram that Culver’s speech was “filled with antisemitic commentary” and that Daiya had given an “implicit endorsement of those remarks.” Soffer’s Instagram post did not list the names of the letter’s signatories but claimed hundreds had signed.GWU’s student newspaper noted that Daiya’s profiles have since been scrubbed from the university’s websites and directory. Her LinkedIn page is also disabled. Asked for comment on Daiya, a university spokesperson directed JTA to its statement on Culver, which does not mention the dean.According to GWU’s own communications, during Culver’s time at the school the economics and statistics dual major was a recipient of a prestigious award and received an award from the Federal Reserve as part of an internship she completed.“Cecilia is in every way a distinguished scholar,” the school noted.Her actions, and the university’s response, stood out at the tail end of an academic year that has seen notably more muted campus Israel protests than the previous year amid the Trump administration’s curtailing of federal funding for higher education and rounding up of student protesters. Fearing harsh punishments, many schools have taken more aggressive measures to curtail activism, while others including Harvard University have gone on the offensive against the administration.Still, some campus activism has persisted, including in the Mid-Atlantic region where GWU is located. Police in recent days have broken up pro-Palestinian encampments at both Johns Hopkins University and Virginia Commonwealth University, and in some cases the schools have temporarily withheld diplomas from participants. Other schools including Swarthmore College have also seen encampments broken up and students arrested this month.GWU has also been one of the most intense schools for anti-Israel pro-Palestinian activism since the period immediately after the October 7 Hamas massacre that saw terrorists kill some 1,200 people in southern Israel and take 251 captives, and sparked the war in Gaza.GWU has seen activists projected messages including “Glory To Our Martyrs” onto the side of a campus building. Last year the school suspended its chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

However, Hopkins Justice Collective said it did not agree to these terms, CBS News reported. So, demonstrators camped out overnight, prompting the school to warn that the “consequences of violating our policies and creating unsafe conditions include academic discipline, which is determined by University officials, and trespass, which is handled by local law enforcement.”Columbia will have 'blood on its hands' if police bring weapons to campus, say students-Students have also staged protests or encampments at the following schools:Yale University; Michigan State University; University of Mary Washington; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; University of South Carolina; the Fashion Institute of Technology; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; Florida State University; University of Connecticut; The New School; Harvard University; Brown University; University of Delaware; Northwestern University; Cornell University; University of Pennsylvania; Stanford University; City College of New York; Indiana University; University of Rochester; Rice University; Swarthmore University; University of North Carolina; University of New Mexico Albuquerque; University of Georgia; Princeton University; Tufts University.
Students erect pro-Palestinian encampments across major Canadian universities-By Anna Mehler Paperny-May 2, 20248:43 PM
TORONTO, May 2 (Reuters) - Quebec Premier Francois Legault said on Thursday the encampment at Montreal's McGill University should be dismantled as more students erected pro-Palestinian camps across some of Canada's largest universities, demanding they divest from groups with ties to Israel.The Canadian protests come as police have been arresting hundreds on U.S. campuses and the death toll in Gaza has been mounting.
While McGill had requested police intervention, law enforcement had not stepped in Thursday to clear the encampment and said in a statement Thursday evening it was monitoring the situation.Students also set up encampments at Canadian schools including the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia and the University of Ottawa."We want the camp to be dismantled. We trust the police, let them do their job," a spokesperson for Legault said.There was also a pro-Israel counter-protest in Montreal Thursday. The two sides were kept separate.On Thursday morning, students at the University of Toronto set up an encampment in a fenced-off grassy space at the school's downtown campus where some 100 protesters gathered with dozens of tents.According to a statement from organizers the encampment will stay until the university discloses its investments, divests from any that "sustain Israeli apartheid, occupation and illegal settlement of Palestine" and ends partnerships with some Israeli academic institutions.Israel says it does not participate in apartheid and that its assault on Gaza does not constitute genocide.A university spokesperson told Reuters it was "in dialogue with the protesters" and that, as of midday, the encampment was "not disruptive to normal university activities."University of Toronto graduate student and encampment spokesperson Sara Rasikh told Reuters they will remain until their demands are met."If public disruption is the only way to get our voice heard, then we are willing to do that," she said.Some Jewish groups have accused protesters of being antisemitic. Organizers deny that charge, noting that some protesters are Jewish.Asked to comment on the encampments, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office pointed to a statement he made on Tuesday, saying "Universities are places of learning, they’re places for freedom of expression ... but that only works if people feel safe on campus. Right now ... Jewish students do not feel safe. That’s not right."The protests follow the deadly Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip, which killed 1,200 people and saw dozens taken hostage, and an ensuing Israeli offensive that has killed about 34,000 and created a humanitarian crisis.Reporting by Anna Mehler Paperny; Editing by David Gregorio and Diane Craft
DEATH CULT SUPPORTERS MANIFESTO ELIAS RODRIGUEZ OF ISRAEL HATE.THANKS TO ANTISEMETIC SUCK UP TO ARAB MURDERERS SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD.
Explication-May 20, 2025
Halintar is a word that means something like thunder or lightning. In the wake of an act people look for a text to fix its meaning, so here's an attempt. The atrocities committed by Israelis against Palestine defy description and defy quantification. Instead of reading descriptions mostly we watch them unfold on video, sometimes live. After a few months of rapidly mounting death tolls Israel had obliterated the capacity to even continue counting the dead, which has served its genocide well. At time of writing the Gaza health ministry records 53,000 killed by traumatic force, at least ten thousand lie under rubble, and who knows how many thousands more dead of preventable disease, hunger, with tens of thousands now at risk of imminent famine due to Israeli blockade, all enabled by Western and Arab government complicity. The Gaza information office includes the ten thousand under the rubble with the dead in their own count. In news reports there have been those "ten thousand" under the rubble for months now, despite the continual making of more rubble and repeated bombing of rubble again and again and the bombing of tents amid the rubble. Like the Yemen death toll which had been frozen at some few thousand for years under Saudi-UK-US bombardment before being belatedly revealed to stand at 500k dead, all of these figures are almost surely a criminal undercount. I have no trouble believing the estimates that put the toll at 100,000 or more. More have been murdered since March of this year than in "Protective Edge" and "Cast Lead" put together. What more at this point can one say about the proportion of mangled and burned and exploded human beings whom were children. We who let this happen will never deserve the Palestinians' forgiveness. They've let us know as much.An armed action is not necessarily a military action. It usually is not. Usually it is theater and spectacle, a quality it shares with many unarmed actions. Nonviolent protest in the opening weeks of the genocide seemed to signal some sort of turning point. Never before had so many tens of thousands joined the Palestinians in the streets across the West. Never before had so many American politicians been forced to concede that, rhetorically at least, the Palestinians were human beings, too. But thus far the rhetoric has not amounted to much. The Israelis themselves boast about their own shock at the free hand the Americans have given them to exterminate the Palestinians. Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they'll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they're doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright. Aaron Bushnell and others sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre and the state works to make us feel their sacrifice was made in vain, that there is no hope in escalating for Gaza and no point in bringing the war home. We can't let them succeed. Their sacrifices were not made in vain.The impunity that representatives of our government feel at abetting this slaughter should be revealed as an illusion, then. The impunity we see is the worst for those of us in immediate proximity to the genocidaires. A surgeon who treated victims of the Mayan genocide by the Guatemalan state recounts an instance in which he was operating on a patient who'd been critically injured during a massacre when, suddenly, armed gunmen entered the room and shot the patient to death on his operating table, laughing as they killed him. The physician said the worst part was seeing the killers, well known to him, openly swagger down local streets in the years after. Elsewhere a man of conscience once attempted to throw Robert McNamara off a Martha's Vineyard-bound ferry into the sea, incensed at the same impunity and arrogance he saw in that butcher of Vietnam as he sat in the ferry's lounge laughing with friends. The man took issue with McNamara's "very posture, telling you, 'My history is fine, and I can be slumped over a bar like this with my good friend Ralph here and you'll have to lump it.'" The man did not succeed in heaving McNamara off a catwalk into the water, the former secretary of state managed to cling to the railing and clamber back to his feet, but the assailant explicated the value of the attempt by saying "Well, I got him outside, just the two of us, and suddenly his history wasn't so fine, was it?"A word about the morality of armed demonstration. Those of us against the genocide take satisfaction in arguing that the perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity. I sympathize with this viewpoint and understand its value in soothing the psyche which cannot bear to accept the atrocities it witnesses, even mediated through the screen. But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human. A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same. Humanity doesn't exempt one from accountability. The action would have been morally justified taken 11 years ago during Protective Edge, around the time I personally became acutely aware of our brutal conduct in Palestine. But I think to most Americans such an action would have been illegible, would seem insane. I am glad that today at least there are many Americans for which the action will be highly legible and, in some funny way, the only sane thing to do.I love you Mom, Dad, baby sis, the rest of my familia, including you, O*****Free Palestine--Elias Rodriguez

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a

17 For in one
hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all
the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood
afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping
and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich
all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one
hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast
their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be
removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to
deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy
their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the
stumblingblock of their iniquity.

hardships, imprisonments, scourgings, endured by him for the cause of
Christ, and which mark him as Christ's faithful and approved votary,
servant, soldier (see Lightfoots Commentary on Galatians, the passage
cited). (Herodotus 7, 233; Aristotle, Aelian, Plutarch, Lcian, others.)

EU launches interoperable biometric matching service for border control-May 21, 2025, 11:48 am EDT | Masha Borak
The
European Union has made a big step in making its biometric databases
for law enforcement and border control interoperable.On Monday, the
European Commission launched a Shared Biometric Matching Service (sBMS)
for fingerprints and facial images. The service stores 400 million
biometric templates and makes them available across several European
information systems.The EU and its member states currently run several
large-scale IT systems related to border security, including the
Schengen Information System (SIS), the European Dactyloscopy Database
(Eurodac) and the Visa Information System (VIS). More systems are
planned, including the upcoming Entry-Exit System (EES).These systems
were developed independently, making it difficult for law enforcement
agencies to connect information about individuals stored in separate
silos.“The sBMS will greatly improve the precision of identifying and
verifying individuals, strengthening the EU’s border security and
controls, as well as enhancing the management of visas and asylum
applications,” the Commission says in an announcement.The system is
delivered by EU-LISA, the agency tasked with managing large-scale IT
systems and ensuring their interoperability. The biometric templates
stored in the sBMS are obtained from biometric data stored in the
Schengen Information System (SIS) and the Common Identity Repository
(CIR).The CIR is another interoperability component that has been built
by EU-LISA. The repository stores individual files created for each
person registered in the EES, VIS, Eurodac, the European Travel
Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and the European Criminal
Records Information System on Third-Country Nationals (ECRIS-TCN).Other
interoperability components include the European Search Portal (ESP),
which allows searches across multiple databases, and the
Multiple-Identity Detector (MID).The sBMS is designed to guarantee data
security, the Commission adds. The system offers biometric
functionalities such as CUD, 1:1 (one-to-one), and 1:N (one-to-many)
matching, according to earlier EU-LISA documents.The Commission also
announced that the Visa Information System (VIS) has been adapted to
interoperate with the Entry/Exit System (EES).
Yubico simplifies
passwordless; YubiKeys for Enterprises now available in 175 countries
and 24 territories-May 21, 2025, 10:15 am EDT | Lu-Hai Liang
Yubico,
a provider of hardware authentication security keys, has announced the
expanded availability of YubiKey as a Service to all countries in the
European Union.This builds upon the company’s existing reach in markets
such as the UK, U.S., India, Japan, Singapore, Australia and Canada. In
addition, Yubico has expanded the availability of YubiEnterprise
Delivery across 117 new locations around the world.This now brings the
total to 199 locations (175 countries and 24 territories and it more
than doubles existing delivery coverage of YubiKeys to both office and
remote users in a fast nad turnkey way. “Enterprises today are facing
evolving cyber threats like AI-driven phishing attacks,” said Jeff
Wallace, senior vice president of product at Yubico.“By expanding our
global reach of YubiKey as a Service and YubiEnterprise Delivery to 175
countries, we’re accelerating our ability to deliver and deploy
device-bound passkey solutions that address the biggest threat facing
businesses today from stolen login credentials,” he continued.The
YubiKey as a Service allows enterprises to quickly roll out
phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA). Available
exclusively through this service, the Yubico Enrollment Suite now
enables enterprises in these markets to accelerate passwordless adoption
and seamless user onboarding with pre-configured keys to their
users.This includes Yubico FIDO Pre-reg for factory-programmed,
pre-registered keys as well as YubiEnroll client for in-person
onboarding via Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, with more identity providers
to follow. These offerings are now available for all EU countries.“This
expansion enables us to meet growing demand and accelerates adoption –
enabling faster, more affordable delivery of pre-configured YubiKeys to
markets like the EU and APJ, where regulatory pressures for
phishing-resistant authentication are intensifying,” Wallace said.
US State Department doubles down on criticism of EU’s DSA-May 21, 2025, 10:20 am EDT | Masha Borak
The
U.S. government continues to pressure the European Union on the Digital
Services Act (DSA), with the State Department issuing requests to
offices to provide “examples of government efforts to limit freedom of
speech.”The requests reflect the narrative of President Donald Trump’s
administration that paints the DSA as a tool for imposing censorship on
online platforms. The office has pledged it would not accept regulations
that “unfairly target” U.S tech companies, according to a recent State
Department internal communications obtained by The Wall Street
Journal.“Obviously, we don’t love the idea of the Europeans censoring
their own citizens, but the principal concern is these spillover effects
affecting content-moderation policies and a variety of free-speech
concerns within the United States,” Darren Beattie, acting
undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, told the paper. “And
there’s various mechanisms within the DSA that are concerning in that
regard.”The DSA became applicable in 2024, forcing online platforms such
as marketplaces, social networks and content-sharing platforms to
address illegal and harmful online content and disinformation.The
regulation also includes provisions related to age assurance and
protecting minors. Earlier this month, the EU issued an official call
for feedback on guidelines to protect minors, including on age assurance
that could limit children’s exposure to pornography and other
age-inappropriate content.European lawmakers have defended the law,
stating that it doesn’t threaten free speech and is designed to protect
Europeans’ basic rights and to help keep children safe online. The
regulation only applies in the EU.The U.S., however, has pledged to
“take steps to ensure that American companies are not strong-armed into
enforcing a European censorship regime that is harmful to American
interests, European interests, and the world,” according to a statement
to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in
April.U.S. tech giants may face even more EU regulation-Mark Zuckerberg
and Elon Musk, leaders of social media companies Meta and X, have
expressed support for the U.S. government’s moves against DSA. Both
companies are facing an investigation by the European Commission.
According to the DSA rulebook, very large online platforms (VLOPs),
those with over 45 million users in the EU, must comply with the most
stringent rules.However, the two companies could face even tougher
regulations in the future, this time coming from Europe’s consumer
protection agencies, according to Catalina Goanta is Associate Professor
in Law & Technology at the Law School’s Molengraaff Institute.The
European Commission has recently completed its Digital Fairness Fitness
Check, designed to modernize the consumer protection framework, and is
focusing on formulating the Digital Fairness Act by mid-2026. The Act
addresses unethical techniques and commercial practices related to dark
patterns, marketing by social media influencers, the addictive design of
digital products and online profiling.“For social media companies, the
turning point that they are no longer mere hosts of expression, but
providers of goods and services is rapidly approaching […], Goanta
writes for Tech Policy Press. “Platforms such as Meta and X better start
assembling their consumer law compliance, which is arguably much more
of a puzzle than the DSA’s obligations.”
Leveraging digital ID in
the financial sector: ID4Africa panel-Insights from IN Groupe, Visa,
Tech5, FaceTec, DigitalTrust Technologies-May 21, 2025, 10:21 am EDT |
Ayang Macdonald
Financial inclusion was highlighted as the
mother of all digital ID use cases during an early panel discussion on
the second day of ID4Africa’s ongoing Annual General Meeting in Addis
Ababa. Panellists crossed views on how collaboration between governments
and industry (private sector) on the implementation of effective
digital ID systems makes this work.This was part of a series of panel
discussions dedicated to dissecting the multifaced uses of legal and
digital identity in real-life situations, with the other panel
discussions across the day delving into other digital ID use cases such
as in the healthcare and travel sectors.Preceding a keynote address from
the CEO of IN Groupe, Agnès Diallo, which set the tone for the
exchange, speakers from Visa, Tech5, DigitalTrust Technologies and
FaceTec, shared practical lessons on how to leverage digital ID in the
financial sector for greater impact.Their different presentations
outlined strategies for getting digital ID systems right, highlighting
the necessity for strategic collaboration, citing real-world examples
and explaining how to deal with the pervasive problem of identity fraud
using advanced biometric security systems like FaceTec’s UR Code.The
first speaker of the panel, Yared Woldesenbet, head of Visa for Eastern
Africa and country manager for Ethiopia, said in order for digital ID to
be made relevant in the financial sector, there is the undeniable need
to leverage Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP) to build robust digital
government ecosystems.“For digital IDs or digital platforms to be
effective, interconnected systems are crucial. These include payment
systems, data management systems, and multiple service providers that
must work together seamlessly,” Woldesenbet said.He cited the examples
of Singapore and Ukraine where Visa is collaborating with governments
there to facilitate access to banking services using digital ID
platforms.“One success story is the Singpass initiative in Singapore.
Established in 2003, it has evolved significantly over time. It serves
as a single secure login for citizens and residents to access over 2,000
digital services. It has contributed to 100 percent financial inclusion
among eligible Singaporeans.”Taking the floor, the Co-founder, Chairman
and CTO of Tech5, Rahul Parthe, also emphasized on building an
impactful digital ecosystem that breeds trust and supports stakeholder
collaboration. He said above all else, governments must adopt “a
pragmatic approach” and what he termed the “decentralized DPI approach,”
like what they working on in Honduras.He stated that financial
inclusion is one of the building blocks of a digital nation as “a
digital economy thrives through real financial inclusion and seamless
payment integration which leads to rapid digital trade growth.”He noted
that digital ID ecosystems are built on rails and the payments “rail” is
the most impactful layer that actually drives their adoption.“Using
digital identity makes financial inclusion easier. Imagine opening a
bank account or getting a virtual card with just a few clicks. Strong
customer authentication becomes straightforward in a decentralized
setup. This enables all kinds of secure payment flows, and in any
direction: government to citizen, citizen to government, peer-to-peer,
and so on.”Facetec’s Vice President for Government relations, Owen
McShane, dwelled on the aspect of identity fraud, highlighting how the
company’s UR Code technology can effectively protect digital IDs against
the bad actors in the financial and other sectors. He said the UR Code
is the short form for “You Are This Code.”“Fake IDs were once mainly
used by young people trying to buy alcohol or tobacco. But now, they’re
increasingly used for serious financial crimes like opening credit
cards, bank accounts, and purchasing vehicles,” he noted.He said the
digitally signed biometrics UR Code embeds biometric vectors and data
into a QR code, which can be scanned and compared with a live selfie or a
stored image to verify identity, linking physical or digital documents
directly to individuals.Uganda’s UgPass was also showcased as an example
of how a digital identity platform can provide access to a wide range
of services including financial inclusion. The Executive Director of the
country’s National Information Technology Authority, Dr Hatwib Mugasa,
and the Founder and CEO of DigitalTrust Technologies, Ramamohan Reddy,
both gave details about the system.Now used for several use cases
including financial services, the duo said building UgPass was easy as
it is based on a foundational ID system that already existed.Mugasa
explained that the UgPass has one major feature which is the digital
wallet, which includes digital authentication and e-signature. Over
time, they have scaled through challenges, learned lessons and have been
able to develop UgPass version 2 which is a new digital ID wallet that
holds all essential credentials, from land ownership and financial data,
to social security and tax records.With efforts being deployed to scale
up the new UgPass wallet, the officials hope to have 10 million
Ugandans sign up for it in the near future, build support for offline QR
code verification and ensure the integration of over 100 service
providers, including banks for financial inclusion, land offices, and
tax authorities.
Biometrics, age-appropriate design on the mind
of UK Information Commissioner-John Edwards urges privacy professionals
to ‘remember the person behind the data’May 20, 2025, 11:40 am EDT |
Joel R. McConvey
UK Information Commissioner John Edwards is on a
bit of a speaking tour, having recently addressed Privacy New Zealand –
a country where he spent eight years serving as privacy commissioner –
and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)’s Data
Protection Intensive UK 2025.His message is a mix of human-centric
thinking and a warning to services that flout the rules, guided by the
principle that “data protection is not just about computers, numbers and
legislation – it’s about people.”Edwards tells the IAPP that “since I
arrived in the UK and took up this role in 2022, my aim has been to
regulate for outcomes, not outputs. I’m interested in real impact, real
change, rather than products, things that might be easy to count, but
that ultimately don’t improve the lives or experiences of people in the
UK.”He cites real scenarios in which irresponsible data handling leading
to data breaches can have grave consequences: “Imagine a person fleeing
a violent domestic relationship, only to have their new address
accidentally shared with their abuser.” Rather than a mere “admin
error”, Edwards wants to frame these mistakes within a wider social
context, notably in how they impact people in vulnerable positions.He
believes “the public should not be expected to have to read reams of
legalese in a privacy notice to understand what’s happening to their
information,” that “they should not be kept in the dark about where
their information’s going and what it’s being used for,” and that “they
should not be coerced or forced into handing over their information
without being fully informed about the consequences.”While consumers can
play a role in the larger task of data protection, Edwards says “there
is a limit. It’s the responsibility of the whole organisation, from the
C-suite down, to keep things simple and accessible for their users.”ICO
fires ‘warning shots’ with investigations of major social platforms-To
illustrate the role of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO),
Edwards points to its ongoing investigations into TikTok, Reddit and
Imgur.“Our role is to ask questions on behalf of young people, so they
don’t have to make complex decisions about how they transact with their
personal information in an asymmetric information relationship,” Edwards
says.“How do these platforms protect children’s personal information?
How do their recommender systems work, how are they using a 13 year
old’s preferences, viewing habits, shares and likes to serve them
content, and keep them on the platform? And, in the case of Reddit and
Imgur, how do they assess the age of their users and tailor their
content accordingly?”From age assurance to consent in the collection of
personal data, “children shouldn’t have to figure this out by
themselves. It’s not their job.”“So we’ve stepped in, because it’s our
job as the UK’s data protection regulator to hold these platforms to
account. If social media and video sharing platforms want to benefit
from operating in the UK, they must comply with data protection law.”The
decision to target three of the biggest social media and video sharing
platforms is intentional – and definitely not a signal for smaller
businesses to ignore the law.“I want to make it very clear,” Edwards
says. “By focusing our efforts on some of the largest, most well known
platforms, we are not giving smaller companies a free pass to adopt or
continue unlawful practices. Instead, last week’s announcement should
serve as a warning shot. All organisations using children’s data, or who
offer products or services aimed at young people, need to comply with
the law and conform with our children’s code.”“Get your own house in
order. You shouldn’t wait for the regulator to come knocking on your
door before checking your processes.”Biometrics, AI still in regulatory
spotlight-Edwards says the ICO continues to focus on AI and biometrics
continues. “I’ve asked my team to look at foundation models, automated
decision-making in recruitment and by government and how police forces
use facial recognition technology. We’ll be closely scrutinising any
proposed deployment of predictive profiling that could affect people’s
rights.”We’re also looking ahead at the technologies and innovations
that are likely to burst onto the scene in the next two to seven
years.”Former NZ privacy commissioner touches on age assurance,
FRT-Edwards’ address to Privacy New Zealand focuses on the ICO’s work in
childrens’ online safety.He says the age appropriate design code, which
he “inherited,” has “directly led to a huge number of improvements in
the safety of a number of the most popular platforms and digital
services available to children.”“One of the largest platforms told me
that as a result of the code and our work, they made more changes to
their product products than they did when the GDPR came in, and that’s
huge.” He cites wins like turning off geolocation for kids by default
and turning off notifications after bedtime.Edwards reiterates that the
ICO’s priorities for the year are children online, AI and biometrics –
regarding the latter, “there’s a real rush to market which means that
there are risks and opportunities and we need to stay ahead of those –
and, finally, online tracking and advertising.He mentions policy work
consulting on papers addressing “some of the personal information
implications of generative AI and how large language models are
trained.”Edwards has fines at his disposal, if needed. But he stresses
that real change takes time.“I’ve started to use the example that one of
the first decisions I took in my job here in 2022 was to confirm a fine
my predecessor proposed against Clearview AI ,which you know is the
biometric facial recognition matching service used by law enforcement
authorities based on scraped images from around the web.”Clearview
appealed that fine and won, forcing the ICO to seek its own appeal. “It
took the tribunal a year to respond to our request for an appeal,”
Edwards says. “We’ve now got a date for that appeal. I‘m three and a
half years into my term now; there is no chance that that matter will be
determined before my term ends.”Edwards also makes brief reference to
Australia’s social media ban for users under 16. Once again, his
human-centric perspective guides his thinking.“I think one of the most
sensible things I’ve heard on this subject came from a real advocate
who’s sometimes a pretty harsh critic of my office and me personally,
and the role that we play.”Edwards is referring to Baroness Beeban
Kidron, who he calls “really the author of the kids code in many
ways.”“She was asked about this issue of a ban and her view I think was
really sensible. She said it’s better to make these technologies safe
for children than to try and ban them. And I think that’s right.”That
said, parental oversight only goes so far. “The thing is I wonder, you
know, we expect that parents will not give their children cigarettes
right? But we also make it a crime for retailers to sell children under
18 cigarettes. And I think there is an analogy there.”
Oil prices jump on report of Israel prepping Iran strike.
London,
May 21 (AFP)-Crude prices rallied Wednesday following a report that US
intelligence suggested Israel was planning a strike on Iranian nuclear
facilities, which would send geopolitical tensions into overdrive and
fuel regional conflict fears.While safe haven gold pushed higher, the
news from CNN appeared to be having little detrimental effect on Asian
equities, with most extending the previous day's rally.European stock
markets faltered, however, with the Paris CAC 40 down almost one percent
in midday deals.London fell and the pound strengthened against the
dollar after UK inflation data come in well above forecasts in April.The
dollar also lost pace against the euro and yen ahead of an upcoming G7
finance ministers meeting this week, with speculation growing that
President Donald Trump is open to a weaker greenback to help US
exporters."Middle Eastern tensions are driving price action in the
commodity space," noted Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB
trading group."Israel's threat to strike Iran is causing this uplift,"
she added.Investors are keeping tabs also on China-US relations after
Beijing hit out at Washington's "bullying" over chip export controls,
just over a week after the two sides dialled down trade tensions by
temporarily slashing tit-for-tat tariffs.Both main crude contracts
jumped around one percent after CNN reported multiple US officials as
saying the government had received intelligence indicating Israel was
preparing to target Iranian atomic facilities.There are fears that such a
sharp escalation could tip the Middle East into a war, with tensions
already high over Israel's strikes on Gaza.Trump said last week that "I
think we're getting close to maybe doing a deal" on Tehran's nuclear
programme and then a day later called on the Islamic republic to "move
quickly or something bad is going to happen".But Iran's supreme leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Tuesday that nuclear talks with Washington
were unlikely to yield any results after four rounds of Omani-mediated
nuclear talks with the United States since April 12."This is the
clearest sign yet of how high the stakes are in the US Iran nuclear
talks and the lengths Israel may go to if Iran insists on maintaining
its commercial nuclear capabilities," Robert Rennie, at Westpac Banking
Corp, said."Crude will maintain a risk premium as long as the current
talks appear to be going nowhere."Crude prices have risen around 15
percent since the start of the month on softening worries about the
economic outlook as tariff tensions grow relatively calmer.- Key figures

China slams US 'bullying' over new warnings on Huawei chips.
Beijing,
May 21 (AFP)-Beijing condemned on Wednesday new US warnings on the use
of AI chips by Chinese tech giant Huawei, vowing it would take steps
against "bullying" efforts to restrict access to high-tech
semiconductors and supply chains.Washington has sought in recent years
to curb exports of state-of-the-art chips to China, concerned that they
could be used to advance Beijing's military systems and otherwise
undermine American dominance in AI.US President Donald Trump's
administration last week rescinded some export controls on advanced
computing semiconductors, answering calls by countries that said they
were being shut out from crucial technology needed to develop artificial
intelligence.Some US lawmakers feared the restrictions would have
incentivised countries to go to China for AI chips, spurring the
superpower's development of state-of-the-art technology.But Washington
also unveiled fresh guidelines warning firms that using Chinese-made
high-tech AI semiconductors, specifically tech giant Huawei's Ascend
chips, would put them at risk of violating US export controls.In a
statement Wednesday, Beijing's commerce ministry described the warnings
as "typical unilateral bullying and protectionism, which seriously
undermine the stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and
supply chain".China accused the US of "abusing export controls to
suppress and contain China"."These actions seriously harm the legitimate
rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and endanger China's
development interests," the commerce ministry said.It also warned that
"any organization or individual that enforces or assists in enforcing
such measures" could be in violation of Chinese law.And it vowed to take
"firm steps to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests" in
response.- Chips on the table -The United States warned last week about
the potential consequences of allowing US AI chips to be used for
training Chinese AI models.And those found using Huawei's Ascend chips
without clearance from Washington, the guidance read, can face
"substantial criminal and administrative penalties, up to and including
imprisonment, fines, loss of export privileges, or other
restriction".The US commerce department said its policy was aimed at
sharing American AI technology "with trusted foreign countries around
the world, while keeping the technology out of the hands of our
adversaries".Previous US rules divided countries into three tiers, each
with its own level of restrictions.Top-tier countries like Japan and
South Korea faced no export restrictions, while countries in the second
tier, which included Mexico and Portugal, saw a cap on the chips they
could receive.Chipmakers including Nvidia and AMD lobbied against the
tiered restrictions and saw their share prices rise when the Trump
administration indicated it would rethink the rule.Speaking at Taiwan's
top tech show on Wednesday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described US export
controls on AI chips to China as a "failure", since companies are using
locally developed technology."The local companies are very, very
talented and very determined, and the export control gave them the
spirit, the energy and the government support to accelerate their
development," Huang said.aas-oho/je/tym-Nvidia-AMD - ADVANCED MICRO

Iraq signs mega-energy deal with Chinese oil firm.
Baghdad,
May 21 (AFP) May 21, 2025-Iraq signed a major energy deal Wednesday
with a Chinese petrol company in the southern province of Basra, aiming
to boost oil production and build a refinery and electricity
plants.China has gained a major foothold in oil-rich Iraq in recent
years, becoming a major player across various sectors and now one of the
largest importers of Iraqi crude.Iraq's Oil Minister Hayan Abdel Ghani
announced in a statement the signing of the mega-project with a
consortium comprising of Geo-Jade Petroleum and the Iraqi company Hilal
al-Basra.The project aims to increase oil production in the Tuba field
to 100,000 barrels per day, according to Abdel Ghani.It also covers the
building of a refinery with a capacity of 200,000 bpd, a 650-megawatt
electricity plant and a solar power facility with a capacity of 400
megawatts.The ministry has not disclosed the cost or timeline for a
petrochemical plant and a fertiliser factory included in the
deal.Geo-Jade Petroleum already operates in Iraq and is set to begin a
controversial oil exploration project in the country's south that
activists fear will significantly impact the Mesopotamian Marshes of
Huwaizah.According to the World Bank, Iraq has 145 billion barrels of
proven oil reserves -- among the largest in the world -- amounting to 96
years' worth of production at the current rate.Iraq has been trying to
move past decades of war and unrest, including a sectarian struggle
after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.It only
recently regained a semblance of stability and authorities hope to
attract investments, especially in the energy sector.Earlier this year,
Iraq finalised an agreement with energy giant BP to develop oil fields
in the north.Last month, it signed a memorandum of understanding with US
energy firm GE Vernova to produce 24,000 megawatts of
electricity.Despite its oil wealth, Iraq depends on imports to meet its
energy needs, and it hopes to increase natural gas production to reduce
its reliance on neighbouring Iran, a crucial supplier of
power.tgg/rh/ysm-BP
EU calls for public feedback on European Business Wallet-May 21, 2025, 4:15 pm EDT | Masha Borak
The
European Commission has issued a call for feedback on the EU Business
Wallet, a digital identity wallet intended for “legal persons,”
including companies, organizations and public administration.The
European Business Wallet is a key component in Europe’s plan to simplify
doing business. The wallet’s purpose is to “drastically” reduce the
regulatory and administrative burdens and remove barriers for companies
in the European single market, the Commission explained earlier this
year.The EU Business Wallet will enable secure digital identification,
data sharing and legally valid notifications across the EU, helping
economic operators cut compliance costs. Built on the eIDAS regulation,
the wallet is also designed to be interoperable with national systems
and support cross-border business, according to the Commission.The call
for feedback lasts from May 15th to June 12th, 2025. The goal is to
collect insights on specific challenges that could be solved by the
wallet.The feedback is part of a wider consultation on the EU Business
Wallet that includes a study based on interviews with professionals,
SMEs, industry and institutional stakeholders. The Commission is also
planning a survey among stakeholders such as large corporations, SMEs,
technology vendors and IT service providers, industry and professional
associations, national and business registers and Chambers of Commerce,
public administrations and other non-private bodies.The consultation
lasts from March to September 2025. Adoption is slated for the fourth
quarter of 2025.The feedback invitation highlights that current
administrative procedures disproportionately affect small and medium
enterprises (SMEs). Inefficiencies, regulatory burdens and different
national rules are reducing competitiveness, slowing digital
transformation and limiting the economic potential.“Current processes
are often inefficient leading to a near 2 trillion euros (US$2.2
trillion) loss in annual global economic value from lost productivity
and revenue opportunities,” the document states.Companies are already
seizing the opportunity to build business identities.The EU Digital
Identity Wallet Consortium (EWC) has been running one of the EU Digital
Identity (EUDI) wallet’s large-scale pilots, focusing on developing use
cases for travel, payments and organizational digital identity. Earlier
in May, European startup Duna announced a 10.7 million euro ($12.1
million) seed round.The B2B ecosystem might be even bigger than
payments, according to Esther Makaay, vice president of Digital Identity
at identity verification company Signicat. However, many governments
still have a learning curve ahead of them when it comes to
organizational identity.
Gambling sees increased risk from GenAI
fraud, growing need for biometric IDV-Market for online sports betting
expands, brings regulatory challenges-May 21, 2025, 3:14 pm EDT |
Joel R. McConvey
A survey of recent content on biometrics and the
global gambling industry reveals a growing sector that needs strong
identity verification – and also a better taxonomy.Gaming, iGaming,
e-Gaming and more: in the context of biometrics and digital identity,
these terms typically refer to online gambling. Anyone who has watched a
recent sports broadcast from the UK or North America will know how
embedded online sports betting has become in mainstream sporting
leagues. Looser regulations on gambling have opened the floodgates, and
huge sums of money are now at stake; according to a new report from
Onfido, “The Gaming Operator’s Guide to Identity Verification,” the
market is expected to reach US$158.2 billion in value by 2028.Pity those
poor gamers who just want to shoot NPCs or race Mario around a track.No
matter how the language is diced up, online gambling is a ubiquitous
reality. So, says Onfido’s report, are gambling regulations, ranging
from age assurance requirements to local KYC and AML compliance rules.
“Gaming operators are now facing similar compliance requirements to
banks and other financial institutions,” the report says. As such, the
matter explicitly informs two of the listed IDV use cases for online
gambling: regulation and compliance, and fraud prevention. (The last,
customer acquisition, highlights the need for good UX to complement
security: “Any verification process built into registration should
reduce drop-off and maximize conversions.”)While fraud is more easily
associated with financial losses, noncompliance can also be costly.
Onfido cites data from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) showing that 15
gaming businesses paid a total of £32.1 million (US$43.1M) as a result
of fines or regulatory settlements in 2021.The regulatory landscape,
meanwhile, is highly irregular terrain. Rules differ in the U.S.,
Europe, the UK and elsewhere – for instance, Brazil which has a massive
sports betting market.In the U.S., online sports betting is permitted in
20 states. That means large swaths of the country – including Texas and
California – are still technically prohibited from making sports bets
online. How strictly they enforce the law is another story.On the other
hand, the UKGC is “one of the strictest gaming bodies in the world and
has been known to issue heavy fines on operators who don’t meet certain
requirements.” It has issued explicit warnings about the prevalence of
AI deepfakes connected to emerging money laundering and terrorist
financing risks. It has also levied fines, slapping two gambling
operators with them in April for AML failures.The EU is another
patchwork of rules and regulations, with laws differing across Spain,
France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere. The EU Digital
Identity Framework Regulation came into force in 2024, and eIDAS 2.0 is
driving the adoption of digital identity wallets.In comments to iGaming
Business, Web3 recruiter Spectrum Search’s CTO Peter Wood says “what’s
missing right now is consistency. There’s no shared framework for
tackling AI-driven fraud, and that needs to change. Regulators should be
pushing for industry-wide standards around ID verification that are
designed to hold up against AI. We also need to see better collaboration
between platforms, some kind of anonymised, real-time data sharing
system that helps flag suspicious activity across the board.”Alberta
could be a major market for online sports betting-In Canada, the
province of Alberta is preparing to legalize online gambling. A blog
from Rebekah Jackson, director of gaming at GBG – which provides
identity verification to some 60 percent of licensed iGaming operators
in Ontario – says that, “despite having a smaller population than
Ontario (4.9 million vs. 16 million), the Alberta iGaming market looks
set to give Ontario a run for its money.”Ontario legalized single-game
sports wagering in 2021, opening the door for online sports betting
apps. In 2023, the regulated iGaming market generated CA$2.4 billion
(US$1.73B) in revenue. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis
Commission (AGLC) estimates Alberta – a conservative state with
proclivities for U.S.-style individual freedoms – would yield similar
results.Nonetheless, regulations are inescapable, and GBG says
“need-to-knows for operators are likely to closely follow the iGaming
Ontario model ensuring FINTRAC-compliant player verification.”FINTRAC is
the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada
(FINTRAC), Canada’s national financial intelligence unit, which is
responsible for the detection and prevention of money laundering.That
means betting Albertans will need to undergo KYC checks with identity
verification at the point of onboarding, and for some transactions.“If
player identity verification does follow the Ontario model,” GBG says,
“FINTRAC-compliant player checks will most likely match personal data –
name, address and date of birth – against trusted Canadian credit bureau
data,” either in single or dual matches, depending on the use case.Age
assurance will also be part of the conversation when sports betting
comes to Alberta, where the legal age for gambling is 18. Likewise with
“affordability screening” and betting limits.As to which body will be
responsible for regulation, the question remains unanswered. The AGLC is
responsible for administering the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act in
Alberta, but also runs the PlayAlberta gambling platform, making for a
conflict of interest. The creation of an independent regulator is likely
in the long run.Africa could be an even bigger market for online sports
betting – with biometricsThe African continent, meanwhile, is battling
the negative effects of online gambling – namely, a problem with
underage users. An article in Sigma reports of “mounting pressure to
curb underage play.”Firms like Jumio have taken notice. The piece quotes
Philipp Pointner, chief product officer at Jumio, who says that an
African context, rapid onboarding and mobile-first user journeys make
selfie checks an attractive biometric age assurance solution for online
gambling, provided connectivity and device capabilities support live
liveness checks.Infrastructure can be an issue in Africa, says the
piece, with “spotty connectivity, varying device quality and privacy
concerns.” But that is not stopping market expansion. Mobile wallets and
crypto payments are gaining traction, spurring demand for online
gambling – which inevitably makes it more accessible to underage
players, despite patchwork efforts in the sector to boost KYC
procedures.Ultimately, says Sigma’s analysis, “biometrics alone cannot
solve all underage gambling issues. They must sit alongside
self-exclusion programmes, financial limits, and customer-education
initiatives. However, by confirming age at sign-up and authenticating
transactions, selfie biometrics and facial recognition offer a powerful
deterrent against underage play.”
Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya reveal revenue generation models from national ID programs-May 21, 2025, 2:17 pm EDT | Lu-Hai Liang
At
ID4Africa 2025, a panel of representatives from five African countries
deemed advanced in identity spoke on ‘Reimagining Identity Authorities
as Digital Public Utility Enterprises.’This was about how digital
identity “needs to be like a public utility,” like water, like
electricity, as the moderator introduced the topic. How to manage such
digital public infrastructure? You become a digital public utility
enterprise.The panelists included Bisoye Coker-Odusote, CEO and director
general of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) of
Nigeria; Dr. Christopher Wanjau, Secretary of National Registration for
Kenya; Theresa Eson-Benjamin, Head, Legal and Compliance, at the
National Identification Authority of Ghana; Devendre Gopaul, permanent
secretary to the prime minister’s officer for Mauritius; and Mouhcine
Yejjou, director of Morocco’s eID Project.The panelists were asked how
their systems generated revenue.Wanjau of Kenya said identity systems
are usually costly and involve substantial investment, but that
documents and ID cards are classified as human rights that citizens of
the country enjoy, so a lot of the investment should be from the
government. The first time an identity card is issued it’s free, but for
replacements and “other processes” the national bureau charges fees and
those fees can usually support their system.Wanjau advocates for a
hybrid system with government funding and resources generated through
the fees that are charged in the issuance of identity cards and from
online verification can be used to fund identity
authorities.Coker-Odusote of Nigeria said they charge for enrollment and
modification of details for the diaspora, which is a revenue generating
model, and they also charge if users want to update via the “self
modification platform.” They are currently working on the Nigeria Public
Key Infrastructure (NPKI), which will be another revenue generator.They
charge license and registration for front-end partners, there are KYC
services for banks, and they charge for the download
service.Coker-Odusote was asked if the fees go directly to the NIMC or
if it goes to the ministry of finance. She said that 100 percent of the
revenues goes to the ministry of finance, but that they get to keep 40
percent of the revenue generated. After further probing, Coker-Odusote
revealed that currently the revenues are “really low” but that with the
PKI certification, and ensuring that that will be done for the private
sector and not just for the public sector, they will be able to generate
a lot more.Eson-Benjamin of Ghana was up next, with explanation of the
different approach the country has taken with funding its Ghana card.
Eson-Benjamin explained that the Ghana model is premised on a
public-private partnership arrangement. “In this arrangement we looked
at which party is best placed to manage risk,” she said.The government’s
risk would be operational, policy and all the things that needed to be
done to make registration successful, she said. Following assessment,
with the private sector invested in technology and looking at
international best practices, Ghana concluded that the private sector
was best placed to handle the technology and the government was best
placed to handle operational activities as well as the policy.There was
deep involvement from both the private and public sector in the
development of the identity ecosystem in Ghana, Eson-Benjamin said, with
investment coming from both. The Ghanaian representative was asked to
clarify ownership and said that the database is owned by the government,
so that it is “government that manages and owns the data-bearing assets
of the authority of the country.”Eson-Benjamin was asked how long is
such a PPP arrangement contract. “Because of the long-term benefits that
must come into a PPP project we considered a 15-year model,” she
replied. Currently, they are in year seven of the model. “And for that
15-year model what it says is that our process is based on the
generation of revenue to finance the project,” she continued.“So apart
from the investment that the government and the private sector made in
year one, all subsequent years the revenue that we generate from the
projects goes back into the projects to finance it and then also to
generate revenue for the country.”Eson-Benjamin explained that there is
an escrow account with the revenue generated, from ID replacements and
updates of personal information, going into that account. But the most
important part of the revenue generation model is the identity
verification, she said. The Ghanaian representative pointed to how the
banking sector, the social sector, and the health sector are leveraging
the Ghana card for their services.“They are piggybacking on the Ghana
card and any time they do a verification of an identity, in order to
either pay a claim or render a service, they pay a little fee that goes
into our escrow, and that services the project,” she said.
Expansion of biometric tech demands trust before adoption, survey finds-May 21, 2025, 12:10 pm EDT | Anthony Kimery
A
new report on consumer attitudes toward biometrics performed by the
Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) explores the growing reliance on
biometric technologies and the skepticism many consumers still hold
toward them. The report sheds light on both the promise and the peril of
integrating biometric verification into everyday life.While biometric
technology cannot eliminate identity fraud entirely, the report says,
its appropriate and ethical use can significantly reduce the risks posed
by static, compromised data.ITRC surveyed 1,177 U.S. adults last August
and found that 87 percent had been asked to provide biometric
information during an identity verification process within the past
year. Biometrics mentioned in the survey included selfie photos, live
video, fingerprints, voice, and eye scans.Despite serious privacy
concerns reported by 63 percent of the respondents, a striking 91
percent continued with their transaction when prompted to submit
biometric data. This disconnect between concern and compliance suggests a
complex relationship between perceived necessity and privacy
apprehension.The report makes clear that consumers’ concerns are not
abstract. Respondents cited potential misuse by employees, unauthorized
data sharing, surveillance by law enforcement, misidentification, and
data breaches as leading reasons for their discomfort. For example, 69
percent worry that their biometric data could be compromised by
insiders, while 60 percent feared it could be repurposed for
non-verification activities. Concerns about being tracked by government
entities were noted by over a quarter of respondents.Two-thirds of
respondents agreed that biometrics can reduce identity crimes, but 39
percent believe that biometric use should be banned. Thirty-six percent
did not share that belief. The significant number of people who would
ban the use of all biometrics is dominated by younger respondents (45
percent) and men (54 percent). The number of people who would not ban
biometrics was dominated by women (39 percent) and respondents 60+ years
old (49 percent).“This research highlights a critical need for those of
us working to prevent identity crimes to do a better job explaining
both the benefits and risks of emerging identity technologies –
especially biometrics,” ITRC CEO Eva Velasquez said in a statement.“Our
hope is that this biometric report serves not only as a guide for future
study but also as a roadmap to increase public understanding and
acceptance,” Velasquez said, noting that “change can be uncomfortable,
but resisting it without understanding the facts can create unnecessary
risk. We must do more to show why secure biometric identity verification
is in everyone’s best interest.”Similarly, in October, Aware released
its 2024 Consumer Trust in Biometrics Report which stated that “more
than 50 percent of all users now authenticate with biometrics daily,
signaling a clear path toward mass adoption,” but that consumers also
“have a keen awareness of the sensitivity of their biometric data and
are looking to use biometrics with providers who have clear policies
around data management.”“An overwhelming majority of respondents agree
that biometric technology will become more prevalent over the next five
years. This isn’t altogether surprising, given that consumers generally
recognize biometrics’ superiority to passwords in the areas of security,
convenience, and speed of access,” Aware Chief Product Officer Heidi
Hunter said in a statement.“However,” Hunter added, “what’s remarkable
is that a large percentage of respondents stated they are more willing
to trust some organizations than others, based on a demonstrated ability
to responsibly collect and manage biometric data. Clearly, the desire
for convenience and speed is winning out, because the rise in use cases
is expanding. But we think there’s a huge opportunity for brands to
build on the benefits of offering biometrics by clearly communicating
with consumers, addressing their concerns about data usage and offering
alternative authentication options.”Based on the responses to the ITRC
survey, anxieties about biometrics are not uniform across demographics.
The report said that younger people and men are more likely to support a
complete ban on biometric use, with 45 percent of respondents aged 30
to 44, and 46 percent of male respondents agreeing with such a
prohibition.In contrast, women and older adults showed more openness to
biometrics or were more undecided. The undecided group, which makes up
roughly a quarter of all respondents, is key to the future trajectory of
biometric adoption. ITRC suggests that better education, greater
transparency, and opt-out mechanisms could meaningfully influence this
group.Another critical finding of the ITRC survey is that nearly half of
the participants had been victims of an identity crime in the previous
12 months, and over half had experienced one at some point in their
lives. These figures underscore the growing frequency of identity theft
and the urgent need for stronger verification methods.The report
contextualized this need by highlighting that identity theft now occurs
roughly every 22 seconds in the United States. Coupled with over 2,100
data compromises reported in just the first nine months of 2023 alone,
the report positions biometric verification as a crucial component in
addressing a pervasive threat.Despite this, respondents still expressed a
desire for agency and control. Many said they would be more comfortable
using biometric technologies if given more information about how their
data would be used and protected. Around 41 percent of respondents
wanted more transparency about the purpose of biometric data collection,
while 39 percent wanted the right to block sharing or selling of their
information. Another 32 percent expressed a desire to delete their
biometric data upon request.The ITRC report also addressed the confusion
between facial recognition and facial verification, emphasizing that
these are fundamentally different technologies.Facial recognition
typically refers to surveillance-based, one-to-many identification
systems used by law enforcement or intelligence agencies, often without
an individual’s consent. Facial verification, in contrast, is a
one-to-one comparison initiated by the individual during a consent-based
transaction, such as verifying identity for banking or government
services. The report argues that conflating these two applications harms
public understanding and hinders legitimate adoption of identity
verification technologies.In its accompanying discussion paper, the ITRC
warns that static data alone -names, Social Security numbers, and other
personally identifiable information – is no longer sufficient for
identity verification. With personally identifiable information now
widely available on criminal marketplaces due to countless data
breaches, the value of that data must be diminished through stronger
verification methods.Biometrics, the ITRC report suggests, provides a
path forward. By adding a “something you are” factor to traditional
“something you know” and “something you have” models, biometric
verification creates a higher barrier to impersonation and
fraud.Nonetheless, the report acknowledges the technical and ethical
challenges of biometric use. Systems must be tested for bias and
performance across diverse demographics. For instance, some biometric
systems have struggled to accurately verify dark-skinned individuals or
women.The FIDO Alliance’s 2024 Consumer Insights report revealed a
strong preference for biometric authentication in sectors like financial
services (49 percent), digital identity (47 percent), and government
services (40 percent). Nonetheless, concerns about the accuracy of
facial verification technologies across different demographics persist
the report said, with 56 percent of U.S. adults surveyed acknowledging
potential biases.ITRC emphasized that organizations should only use
biometric technologies that are vetted by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology and urges the implementation of best practices
such as conducting Digital Identity Risk Assessments, adopting “snap,
match, and delete” protocols to minimize data retention, and offering
accessible alternatives for those unable or unwilling to use
biometrics.The risks posed by emerging technologies such as deepfakes
are also addressed in the ITRC report. To counter synthetic threats,
ITRC recommends the use of layered security measures, including liveness
detection, real-time verification, and passive spoof detection.The ITRC
report outlines potential use cases where biometric verification could
significantly reduce identity-related fraud. In the Department of Motor
Vehicles context, facial verification could prevent criminals from
obtaining duplicate IDs using stolen data. In financial services, it
could render knowledge-based authentication obsolete, particularly
considering its vulnerabilities to stolen data. For government benefits,
biometric verification could stem fraud like the widespread
pandemic-era unemployment insurance scams, where billions were lost due
to weak verification practices.The report also highlights the importance
of giving individuals the ability to opt out and access services
through other means. It emphasizes that any biometric identity program
must be accompanied by a “digital offramp” to ensure equitable access,
especially for those without Internet access, smart devices, or who have
disabilities that hinder biometric enrollment.A 2024 Ipsos survey
commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association found that 78 percent of
Americans support the use of biometrics at Transportation Security
Administration airport checkpoints, but that support increases when
travelers are assured that their data will be deleted shortly after use
and not shared with other agencies.Ultimately, ITRC does not advocate
for the blanket use of any single biometric solution. Instead, it calls
for a cautious but committed path forward, one that includes strong
safeguards, regulatory oversight, public education, and system
transparency. The report urges organizations to adopt a consent-first
framework, provide deletion options, limit data retention, and monitor
systems for bias and performance anomalies.

1 dead as rains choke India's tech capital; 1 dead, 3 missing in Argentina floods-by AFP Staff Writers.
Bengaluru,
India (AFP) May 20, 2025-Torrential rains have swamped parts of India's
tech capital Bengaluru, killing at least one person, an official said,
and exposing long-standing infrastructure failures in a city that has
expanded at breakneck speed.Rapid growth of the southern city dubbed
India's Silicon Valley has left many waterways covered over or used as
dumps, leading to water stagnating every year during heavy rains."Storm
water drains are encroached upon, the drains are shallow and small, and
they are filled with silt," chief minister of Karnataka state
Siddaramaiah said late Monday."Instructions have been given to the
municipal corporation multiple times to clear them, and work is still
ongoing," he added.Siddaramaiah said it was a "matter of sorrow that a
woman lost her life" in Bengaluru, the state capital which is home to
more than 10 million people.The Times of India newspaper reported
Tuesday at least three people had died.India is hit by torrential rains
and flash floods each year during the monsoon season, and experts say
climate change is increasing their frequency and severity.
One dead, three missing in Argentina floods: authorities.
Buenos
Aires (AFP) May 19, 2025 - Rescuers in Argentina were searching on
Sunday for three people missing in floods that killed one man and forced
almost 2,000 to flee their homes, authorities said.Heavy rain has
pounded the capital Buenos Aires and the surrounding province, cutting
off main roads, submerging fields and causing rivers to burst their
banks.The director of Civil Defense for Buenos Aires province, Fabian
Garcia said Sunday in a radio interview that a missing man had been
found dead, with three others still unaccounted for.Garcia said 1,945
people had sought shelter in evacuation centers, and that "a very large
number" of other residents had fled their homes to stay with relatives.A
storm that lasted until the early hours of Sunday dumped five times the
usual May rainfall on the province, Cindy Fernandez from the National
Meteorological Service told AFP.The national and provincial governments
launched emergency operations to dispatch rescue vehicles, as well as
food, water and blankets to flood victims.
Five dead in Algeria after torrential rain and floods-by AFP Staff Writers.
Algiers
(AFP) May 15, 2025-Five people have died and more than a hundred were
injured as heavy rain caused flooding in several regions of Algeria, the
country's civil defence service said Thursday.In Djelfa, some 300
kilometres (185 miles) south of the capital Algiers, three people died
when a bus was stuck and submerged in flood waters.The civil defence,
who reported the deaths taking place over a 24-hour period, said a
13-year-old died from injuries he sustained after being struck by large
hailstones.A fifth person was swept away by floodwaters, and authorities
say search efforts are ongoing for another individual still
missing.Heavy downpours continued Thursday in parts of both northern and
southern Algeria, Africa's largest country.The Algerian national
meteorological office had warned of up to 90 millimetres of rainfall
prior to the floodings.
Severe drought strains wildlife and tourism in Florida's Everglades-By Gerard MARTINEZ.
Pembroke
Pines, United States (AFP) May 21, 2025-At Everglades National Park in
Florida, severe drought dries up not only the habitat that wildlife
depends on, but the tourism industry in the largest wetland in the
United States.Tour operator Marshall Jones, who owns seven airboats in
the southern region where his family settled five generations ago, says
his operation is quite literally grounded.One boat now rests in the dry
bed of a canal."A lot of the species of wildlife rely on water to
survive. Right now, there's very little to no water within the
Everglades, except for man-made waterways," said the 46-year-old owner
of Mack's Fish Camp on the Miami River.Lack of rainfall in the
Everglades has a dramatic impact on the local ecosystem, which is home
to more than 2,000 animal and plant species.Drought can stunt fish
species like black bass and catfish, or force alligators, turtles and
snakes to migrate in search of wetter habitats, exposing them to the
risk of dying from heat, Jones said.Droughts are frequent toward the end
of the dry season, which stretches from October to mid-May -- but in
recent months there has been less precipitation than normal, said Robert
Molleda, head of the US National Weather Service in Miami.Which means
conditions now are more extreme.- 'Bluebird day' -It is not only the
local wildlife that has been affected.Jones has not been able to take
clients out on airboat rides for 32 days during his usual peak-tourism
period, costing his business about $50,000."This is going to be a very
tough year for us financially," he said, adding he hasn't seen such a
drought since 2009.According to Steve Davis, chief scientist at the
Everglades Foundation, the current weather situation is further
exacerbated by man-made harm in the region.His NGO works to protect the
wetland, where for centuries water would accumulate north of the
Everglades during the rainy season, from mid-May to October, and flow
south, mitigating the severity of dry season droughts.But over the last
century, authorities diverted the natural course of the water to allow
urban and agricultural growth in southern Florida, altering the
wetland."When we drained and compartmentalized the Everglades that made
the ecosystem more vulnerable to drought," David said.To remedy past
mistakes the state of Florida began a vast restoration project several
years ago, aided by federal funding.The project's objective is to
restore water supply from the north through a system of canals, dams,
spillways and water pumps."Having places to store water and be able to
draw from that when we need it ... helps to build resilience for the
entire ecosystem," Davis said.But that relief has not come yet for
Jones, who is eager for the rainy season to float his boats once
more."We just need rain. Nature will provide it very soon. Today is our
first official day of rainy season," he said."And it's a bluebird day,
not a single cloud in the sky. But it's coming, rain is coming."
'Serious problem': Afghan capital losing race against water shortages-By Susannah Walden.
Kabul
(AFP) May 21, 2025-Every week, Bibi Jan scrapes together some of her
husband's meagre daily wage to buy precious water from rickshaw-drawn
tankers that supply residents of Afghanistan's increasingly parched
capital.Kabul faces a looming water crisis, driven by unruly and rapid
urbanisation, mismanagement over years of conflict, and climate change,
meaning people like Bibi Jan are sometimes forced to choose between food
and water."When my children have only tea for a few days, they say,
'You bought water and nothing for us'," the 45-year-old housewife told
AFP, describing reusing her supplies for bathing, dishes and
laundry.Experts have long sounded the alarm over Kabul's water problems,
which are worsening even as many international players have backed off
big infrastructure projects and slashed funding to Afghanistan since the
Taliban government took power in 2021."There could be no ground water
in Kabul by 2030" without urgent action, the UN children's agency UNICEF
warned last year.Other experts are more cautious, citing limited
consistent and reliable data, but say the situation is clearly
deteriorating.A 2030 cliff is a "worst-case scenario", said water
resources management expert Assem Mayar.But even if slated development
projects are completed in a few years, it "doesn't mean the situation
would become better than now", Mayar said."As time goes on, the problems
are only increasing," he added, as population growth outstrips urban
planning and climate change drives below-average precipitation.-
'Decreasing day by day' -The Taliban authorities have launched projects
ranging from recycling water to building hundreds of small dams across
the country, but larger interventions remain hampered by financing and
technical capacity.They remain unrecognised by any country since they
ousted the Western-backed government and imposed their severe
interpretation of Islamic law, with restrictions on women a major
sticking point.They have repeatedly called for non-governmental groups
to reboot stalled projects on water and climate change, as Afghanistan
faces "some of the harshest effects" in the region, according to the
United Nations.The water and energy ministry wants to divert water from
the Panjshir river to the capital, but needs $300 million to $400
million. A dam project near Kabul would ease pressures but was delayed
after the Taliban takeover.For now, Kabul's primary drinking water
source is groundwater, as much as 80 percent of which is contaminated,
according to a May report by Mercy Corps.It is tapped by more than
100,000 unregulated wells across the city that are regularly deepened or
run dry, the NGO said.Groundwater can be recharged, but more is drawn
each year than is replenished in Kabul, with an estimated annual
76-million-cubic-metre (20-billion-gallon) deficit, experts say."It's a
very serious problem... Water is decreasing day by day in the city,"
said Shafiullah Zahidi, who heads central Kabul operations for the
state-owned water company UWASS.Water systems designed decades ago serve
just 20 percent of the city's population, which has exploded to around
six million over the past 20 years, said Zahidi.- 'Use less water' -At
one of Kabul's 15 pumping stations, maintenance manager Mohammad Ehsan
said the seven-year-old well is already producing less water. Two others
nearby sit dry."The places with shallower water levels are dried out
now," said 53-year-old Ehsan, who has worked in water management for two
decades, as he stood over an old well.It once produced water from a
depth of 70 metres (230 feet), but a newer well had to be bored more
than twice as deep to reach groundwater.At one of the two large stations
in the city, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
recently procured four new pumps where only one had been functioning."If
that pump collapsed for any reason, that means stopping the service for
25,000 beneficiary households," which now have uninterrupted water,
said Baraa Afeh, ICRC's deputy water and habitat coordinator.Everyone in
Kabul "should have 24-hour service", said Zahidi, from the state water
company.But in reality, Bibi Jan and many other Kabulis are forced to
lug water in heavy jugs from wells or buy it from tankers.These
suppliers charge at least twice as much as the state-owned utility, with
potable water even more pricy in a country where 85 percent of the
population lives on less than a dollar a day.Bibi Jan said she has to
police her family's water use carefully."I tell them, 'I'm not a miser
but use less water.' Because if the water runs out then what would we
do?"
Flood victims stranded on roofs as downpours lash eastern Australia.
Sydney,
May 21 (AFP) May 21, 2025-Fast-moving floodwaters rose Wednesday in
eastern Australia, inundating homes and leaving residents stranded on
their roofs overnight, as authorities warned more rain was expected in
coming days.Storms have already dumped more than four months' of rain in
just two days in parts of New South Wales, engulfing homes, businesses
and roads in muddy waters, authorities said."We have a situation where
the rain has been falling quite heavily and hard and it has not been
moving away. Part of that is because the ground is saturated and the
rivers are swollen," the state's emergency minister Jihad Dib told
reporters.Taree, about 300 kilometres (180 miles) north of Sydney, is a
key area of concern for emergency services after 415 millimetres (16.34
inches) of rain lashed the town since Monday -- more than four times the
mean monthly rainfall for May.Authorities said that water levels of a
river in Taree surged past a previous record in 1929, reaching 6.3
metres (20.6 feet) on Wednesday.The rising floodwaters left locals stuck
on roofs overnight, with rescuers unable to reach them due to the bad
weather.Taree resident Holly Pillotto, who was among those stranded on
an upper level of her home, said she was desperate for assistance as
floodwaters continued to rise."Our neighbours on the back verandah here
are also stranded," she told Australia's Channel Nine. "It's a really
dangerous spot to be."Dib said that emergency services were "throwing
everything we have into" reaching those affected.State Emergency Service
Chief Superintendent Dallas Byrnes said the situation was "incredibly
dynamic and escalating", with more than 150 flood rescues conducted
overnight."We've got a lot of people getting rescued from rooftops and
from upper levels of houses," Byrnes told the national broadcaster
ABC.However, he warned that "conditions are quite treacherous and it may
be that those aviation assets are unable to fly throughout the day".The
agency said that about 16,000 people, or 7,400 dwellings, would remain
isolated until at least Thursday.More heavy rain is expected in the
coming 48 hours -- with some locations to receive 200 millimetres (7.87

Wednesday.Scientists have warned that heatwaves and other extreme

Red alert': Fires drive tropical forest loss to record high.
Paris,
May 21 (AFP)-Eighteen football pitches every minute of every hour of
every day: that is the record extent of tropical rainforest destroyed
last year due in large measure to fires fuelled by climate change,
researchers reported Wednesday.Tally it all up and the world lost 67,000
square kilometres (25,900 square miles) of precious primary tropical
forest, an area double the size of Belgium or Taiwan.The loss was 80
percent higher than in 2023, according to the Global Forest Watch think
tank."This level of forest destruction is completely unprecedented in
more than 20 years of data," its co-director Elizabeth Goldman said in a
briefing. "This is a global red alert."Fires are responsible for nearly
half of these losses, surpassing for the first time agriculture as the
main driver of destruction.Loss of tree cover in 2024 -- from
deforestation and fires, deliberate or accidental -- generated more than
three billion tonnes of CO2 pollution, exceeding India's emissions from
fossil fuel use over the same period.Tropical forests, which harbour
the highest concentrations of biodiversity, are the most threatened of
any forest biomes on the planet.They are also sponges for CO2, helping
to prevent global temperatures from rising even faster than they
have.Forest fires are both a cause and effect of climate change,
injecting billions of tonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere that in turn
accelerate warming and the conditions leading to more destructive
fires.- Extreme conditions -The exceptional fires last year were fuelled
by "extreme conditions" that made them more intense and difficult to
control, the authors said.Climate change driven by the massive burning
of fossil fuels and boosted by natural El Nino weather phenomenon made
2024 the hottest year on record, with temperatures averaging more than
1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial
levels.Historically, most fires in tropical forests are set to clear
land for agriculture and livestock, especially the so-called "big four"
commodities: palm oil, soy, beef and timber.Brazil saw 2.8 million
hectares (6.9 million acres) of primary forest destroyed last year,
two-thirds to fires typically started to make way for soybeans and
cattle.In 2023, Brazil made measurable progress in reducing forest loss
during President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's first year after returning
to office."But this progress is threatened by the expansion of
agriculture," said Sarah Carter, a researcher at the World Resources
Institute in Washington.The Brazilian Amazon was most affected, with
destruction at its highest level since 2016.Global Forest Watch reports
on forest destruction from all causes, deliberate or accidental.This
stands in contrast to the Brazilian government's monitoring network
MapBiomas, which published figures last week showing a sharp decline in
deforestation in 2024 -- but based on narrower criteria and not
including many areas ravaged by fire.- New phenomenon -Forest protection
is high on the agenda of the COP30 UN climate conference that Brazil
will host in November in the tropical city of Belem.Neighbouring
Bolivia's forest loss -- 1.5 million hectares -- skyrocketed by 200
percent last year, with a record 3.6 percent of primary forests
destroyed in a single year, mostly due to fires set to clear land for
industrial-scale farms, according to the report.The picture is mixed
elsewhere, with improvements in Indonesia and Malaysia but a sharp
deterioration in Congo-Brazzaville and the Democratic Republic of
Congo.While policies have resulted in a slowdown of the extent of
forests lost to palm oil plantations, notably in Asia, the destructive
footprint of other commodities has expanded, including avocados, coffee
and cocoa."We shouldn't assume that the drivers are always going to be
the same," said Rod Taylor, director of the WRI's forest programme."One
new driver we are seeing, for example, is linked to mining and critical
minerals."
Four killed in Vietnam landslide after flash floods.
Hanoi,
May 19 (AFP)-A landslide following flash floods in a mountainous area
of northern Vietnam has killed four people, the government said on
Monday, as forecasters warned of further downpours.The landslide
occurred early Sunday in Ba Be district of Bac Kan province following
torrential rain on Saturday."A very big (noise, like an) explosion was
heard from the top of the mountain. Then soil, rock and water poured
down from the mountain," a statement on the government's website quoted
local official Tieu Xuan Tai as saying.Tai said local residents had been
aware of a two-metre-wide (six-feet-wide) crack on the top of the
mountain that appeared several years ago.Provincial authorities have
issued warnings to the public, and called for immediate safety checks
for communities along streams, rivers and other areas vulnerable to
landslides.Residents must be immediately evacuated if they are at risk,
authorities said.Forecasters said rain in the area had been higher than
normal so far this month and further heavy downpours were expected in
northern and central areas.Vietnam is prone to tropical storms, which
often cause deadly flash floods and landslides, but they usually hit the
country between June and November.Experts say human-driven climate
change is causing more intense weather patterns that can make
destructive floods more likely.Last year, 514 people died in Vietnam due
to natural disasters, three times more than in 2023, the agriculture
ministry said.In September, northern Vietnam was devastated by Typhoon
Yagi, which claimed 345 lives and caused an estimated economic loss of
$3.3 billion.We believe the residents had some connection to the
Temple'.
2nd gold ring found in City of David sheds light on
enigmatic Hellenist era in Jerusalem-The artifacts might have been
buried by a young girl on the eve of her wedding, but whether she was
Judean, Greek or both remains a mystery-By Rossella TercatinToday, 5:02
pm-MAY 21,25
An exquisite gold ring set with a red gemstone,
dating back some 2,300 years, has been unearthed beneath the floor of a
Hellenistic structure in Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority
(IAA) and the City of David announced Wednesday.Strikingly similar to
another ring discovered in the same spot a year ago, the artifact was
found in the Givati Parking Lot excavation in the Jerusalem Walls
National Park, only steps away from where the ancient Temple stood at
the time. Yet, according to the researchers, whether the owners were
wealthy Judaeans, Greek elites, or possibly individuals who straddled
both cultures remains a mystery.“The ring is very representative of the
Hellenistic-period fashion,” Dr. Marion Zindel of the Israel Antiquities
Authority told The Times of Israel in a phone interview. “When
Alexander the Great arrived in the region [in 333 BCE], the Greeks
introduced new materials and cultural influences from the East — India
and Persia — which revolutionized jewelry styles. Combining gold with
colorful gemstones became a hallmark of the era, a trend that persisted
well into Byzantine times.”According to Zindel, the rings might have
belonged to a young girl on the verge of marriage.Both artifacts were
found under the floor of what archaeologists believe was an imposing
public building. An additional bronze earring was previously uncovered
in the same spot, suggesting that the jewelry was not there by
chance.“Gold was very valuable; therefore, it is unlikely that not one
but two rings were accidentally dropped during the construction of the
floor,” Zindel said. “The fact that additional jewelry was also found
suggests that they were buried there on purpose.”According to the
researcher, in light of the small size of both rings, the artifacts
probably belonged to a child.“One hypothesis we are investigating is
that the objects were buried as part of a Greek ritual, under which
girls would bury objects connected to their childhood on the day before
their wedding,” Zindel said.“A few years ago, archaeologists uncovered a
cache beneath the floor of a Hellenistic public building at Tel Kedesh
in northern Israel,” she added. “Although it didn’t contain jewelry, the
artifacts were clearly linked to the daily life of a young girl.”The
Tel Kedesh cache included a terracotta figurine in the shape of the
Greek god Eros, gaming pieces, metal writing tools, and a hairpin. Also
in that case, the researchers suggested that it might have been part of a
similar pre-wedding ritual.Hellenistic Jerusalem-According to
traditional scholarly chronology, the Hellenistic period began when
Alexander the Great conquered Syria and the land of Israel in 333 BCE
and lasted until the mid-first century BCE, when Roman rule was
established in the region.The Hellenistic period also encompasses the
Hasmonean dynasty, which ruled Israel after a successful revolt against
the Greek-Seleucid Empire celebrated during the Jewish holiday of
Hanukkah.According to Prof. Yuval Gadot from Tel Aviv University, the
excavation director, very little is known about life in Jerusalem in
those centuries.The current dig, which is funded by the right-wing City
of David Foundation (known in Hebrew as Elad or Ir David), aims to
unearth remains from the period.“The Hellenistic period is considered a
well-documented era, with historical sources available, so we would
expect the archaeological record to reflect that,” Prof. Yuval Gadot
told The Times of Israel in a phone interview. “But that hasn’t been the
case – until our excavation, we knew very little about Jerusalem’s
size, character, and development during those centuries.”“These rings,
along with other pieces of jewelry and the architecture we’ve uncovered,
are beginning to advance our understanding of the city at that time,”
he added.The current dig has unearthed the remains of what Gadot
describes as “an entire neighborhood,” with both public and residential
buildings.The high quality of the walls and floors suggests that
Jerusalem at the time was reasonably wealthy.“We also found several
seals, and at least some were not locally made,” Gadot said. “This
testifies to the connections between Jerusalem and other areas of the
region.”However, so far, the rings and the other findings from the
Givati Parking Lot excavation do not offer answers to the fundamental
question about the cultural affiliation of the inhabitants of a
neighborhood so close to the Temple.“We believe the residents had some
connection to the Temple,” said Gadot, “but at this stage, we have no
clear way of understanding the nature of that relationship.”“For
example, one of the seal impressions we found depicts a woman, possibly
the Greek goddess Athena,” he noted. “Given that, according to Jewish
law, it is forbidden to make images of human figures, how do we
interpret it?”According to the researchers, it is possible that the
residents were Jewish but either unaware of or indifferent to the
prohibition or that they were outsiders, perhaps imperial administrators
on behalf of the Hellenistic empire.Some additional answers might come
from analysis of animal bones, which offer insights into the diet of the
people who consumed them (pork consumption is also prohibited by Jewish
law).“In order to understand more about Jerusalem’s identity in the
Hellenistic period, we are going to need more discoveries and research,”
said Gadot. “It will take time.”

Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Dome' missile shield for US-By Danny KEMP and W.G. DUNLOP.
Washington
(AFP) May 21, 2025-US President Donald Trump has announced new details
and initial funding for his "Golden Dome" missile shield system, with
geopolitical rival China accusing Washington on Wednesday of undermining
global stability.Trump on Tuesday announced $25 billion earmarked for
the project, which he said could eventually cost a total of around $175
billion and would be operational in about three years.Beijing hit back
Wednesday, denouncing Golden Dome as a threat to international security
and accusing the United States of fueling an arms race."In the campaign I
promised the American people I would build a cutting-edge missile
defense shield," Trump said at the White House on Tuesday."Today I am
pleased to announce we have officially selected architecture for this
state-of-the-art system.""Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will
be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other
sides of the world, and even if they are launched from space," Trump
said."This is very important for the success and even survival of our
country."He said US Space Force General Michael Guetlein will lead the
effort, and that Canada has expressed interest in being part of it as
"they want to have protection also."While Trump put the total price at
about $175 billion, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated the
cost of space-based interceptors to defeat a limited number of
intercontinental ballistic missiles at between $161 billion and $542
billion over 20 years.Golden Dome has more expansive goals, with Trump
saying it "will deploy next-generation technologies across the land, sea
and space, including space-based sensors and interceptors."Pentagon
chief Pete Hegseth, speaking alongside Trump, said the system is aimed
at protecting "the homeland from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles,
hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear."-
China, Russia oppose Golden Dome -The plan's Golden Dome name stems from
Israel's Iron Dome air defense system that has intercepted thousands of
short-range rockets and other projectiles since it went into operation
in 2011.The United States faces various missile threats from
adversaries, but they differ significantly from the short-range weapons
that Israel's Iron Dome is designed to counter.The 2022 Missile Defense
Review pointed to growing threats from China and Russia.Beijing is
closing the gap with Washington when it comes to ballistic and
hypersonic missile technology, while Moscow is modernizing its
intercontinental-range missile systems and developing advanced precision
strike missiles, the document said.It also said that the threat of
drones -- which have played a key role in the Ukraine war -- is likely
to grow, and warned of the danger of ballistic missiles from North Korea
and Iran, as well as rocket and missile threats from non-state
actors.Beijing on Wednesday expressed "serious concern" over the plan,
saying it undercuts "global strategic balance and stability.""The United
States puts its own interests first and is obsessed with seeking its
own absolute security, which violates the principle that no country's
security should come at the expense of others," foreign ministry
spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular briefing."(The plan) heightens
the risk of space becoming a battlefield, fuels an arms race, and
undermines international security," Mao added.China this month had
already joined Russia in slamming the concept as "deeply
destabilizing".It "explicitly provides for a significant strengthening
of the arsenal for conducting combat operations in space," said a
statement published by the Kremlin after talks between the two sides.The
United States has gained valuable real-world experience in defending
against missiles and drones in recent years.In Ukraine, US systems have
been used to counter advanced Russian missiles, while American planes
and warships helped defend Israel against Iranian attacks last year and
have repeatedly shot down missiles and drones launched at ships by
Yemen's Tehran-backed Huthi rebels.
Iran lawmakers ratify partnership treaty with Russia.
Tehran,
May 21 (AFP)-The Iranian parliament ratified a 20-year strategic
partnership treaty with Russia on Wednesday, state media reported,
consolidating closer ties between the two countries amid growing
tensions with the West.The deal, which was signed by Presidents Masoud
Pezeshkian and Vladimir Putin in January, was already ratified by
Russia's State Duma last month.It passed the Iranian parliament with 191
votes in favour, eight against and three abstentions among the 212
members present, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported.The treaty
provides for joint efforts to counter common security threats but stops
short of a mutual defence agreement.Putin has called the treaty a
"breakthrough document", while Pezeshkian said it would "open a new
chapter in relations".Iran and Russia have expanded military
collaboration in recent years, with Tehran accused by Kyiv and Western
governments of supplying drones and missiles used in Russia's war in
Ukraine.Tehran has repeatedly denied the accusation, saying it has not
sided with either party to the conflict.Both governments are under heavy
Western sanctions and have increasingly coordinated their diplomatic
and economic policies.The ratification comes after Iran held four rounds
of negotiations with the United States in search of a new deal to ally
Western concerns about its nuclear programme.While both sides have
agreed to continue discussions, no date or venue has been set for the
next round.On Wednesday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran was
still "evaluating whether or not to participate" in the next round of
talks, citing what he called Washington's "irrational demands".US
officials, including Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff who represents
Washington in the talks, have publicly described Iran's uranium
enrichment capabilities as a red line.Araghchi reiterated on Wednesday
that Iran will continue enrichment "with or without a deal".
Iran's Khamenei says talks with US unlikely to 'lead to any outcome'.
Tehran,
May 20 (AFP)-Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday
that nuclear talks with the United States were unlikely to yield any
results, amid a diplomatic standoff over the Islamic republic's
enrichment activities."We don't think it will lead to any outcome. We
don't know what will happen," said Khamenei during a speech, adding that
denying Iran's right to enrich uranium was "a big mistake".Iran and the
United States have held four rounds of Omani-mediated nuclear talks
since April 12, the highest-level contact between the two foes since
Washington abandoned the 2015 nuclear accord.They had confirmed plans to
hold another round of discussions during their last meeting on May 11,
which Iran described as "difficult but useful", while a US official said
Washington was "encouraged".Chief US diplomat Marco Rubio told a Senate
hearing in Washington on Tuesday that "we hope that we can reach an
agreement with Iran".Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far
above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close though still
short of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead.Western countries,
including the United States, have long accused Iran of seeking to
acquire atomic weapons, while Iran insists its nuclear programme is for
peaceful purposes.Iran has repeatedly insisted its right to maintain
uranium enrichment was "non-negotiable", while chief US negotiator Steve
Witkoff has called it a "red line".On Sunday, Witkoff reiterated that
the United States "cannot allow even one percent of an enrichment
capability.""The American side involved in these indirect negotiations
should refrain from speaking nonsense," said Khamenei.On Tuesday, Rubio
said that Iran could have civilian nuclear power while importing
enriched uranium but that it wanted to keep its enrichment programme as
"a matter of national pride" and "as a deterrent"."They believe that it
makes them a threshold nuclear power, and as a result...
untouchable."Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister and lead negotiator Abbas
Araghchi said "enrichment in Iran, however, will continue with or
without a deal"."If the US is interested in ensuring that Iran will not
have nuclear weapons, a deal is within reach, and we are ready for a
serious conversation to achieve a solution that will forever ensure that
outcome," he said in a post on X.- 'Maximum pressure' -Iranian
diplomats have said Tehran would be open to temporary restrictions on
how much uranium it enriches and to what level.Since returning to office
in January, US President Donald Trump has revived his "maximum
pressure" approach against Iran.While backing nuclear diplomacy, he also
warned of potential military action if it fails.Trump has said he
presented Iran's leadership with an "olive branch", adding that it was
an offer that would not last forever.He further threatened to impose
"massive maximum pressure", including driving Iranian oil exports to
zero if talks failed.Trump later doubled down on his warning, saying
that "something bad is going to happen" unless the Iranians "move
quickly" towards a deal.Iranian officials, however, criticised what they
described as "contradictory" positions by US officials along with the
continued imposition of sanctions targeting Iran's oil industry and
nuclear programme despite the talks.Araghchi on Tuesday criticised
"positions from the United States that were inconsistent with any logic
and reason".Iran's top diplomat said these stances "have caused serious
disruptions in the negotiation process.""As a result, no date has been
set for the next round of talks, and the matter remains under review,"
he added.On Sunday, Araghchi said Iran has been observing "dissonance
... between what our US interlocutors say in public and in private."On
Friday, Iran held parallel talks with Britain, France and Germany -- all
parties to the 2015 deal.They are currently weighing the reimposition
of UN sanctions in response to Iranian non-compliance.The option to
trigger the sanctions mechanism expires in October.Araghchi said Iran
was willing to "begin a new chapter" with Europe and urged it to play a
role in the nuclear negotiations.
Iran says to keep enriching uranium, even with a deal.
Tehran,
May 18 (AFP)-Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday his
country would keep enriching uranium "with or without a deal" with world
powers, despite ongoing negotiations over its nuclear programme."If the
US is interested in ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, a
deal is within reach, and we are ready for a serious conversation to
achieve a solution that will forever ensure that outcome," Araghchi
posted on X."Enrichment in Iran, however, will continue with or without a
deal," he said.Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above
the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal but below the 90 percent
needed for a nuclear warhead.Tehran says its nuclear ambitions are for
civilian purposes only, and entirely peaceful.It also insists its right
to continue enriching uranium for peaceful purposes is "non-negotiable",
but says it would be open to temporary restrictions on how much uranium
it enriches and to what level.On Wednesday, Iranian atomic energy
agency chief Mohammad Eslami reiterated that Tehran "does not seek
nuclear militarisation", and said enrichment was under the supervision
of the UN nuclear watchdog."The dismantling of enrichment is not
accepted by Iran," Eslami said.Araghchi also said Sunday the country was
ready to rebuild trust with European powers considering whether to
reimpose UN sanctions on the Islamic republic under a 2015 nuclear
deal."Iran is ready, should it observe genuine will and an independent
approach from the European parties, to begin a new chapter in its
relations with Europe," he told a diplomatic forum in Tehran."If Europe
possesses the necessary will to rectify this path, Iran sees no obstacle
to rebuilding mutual trust and expanding relations."On Friday, senior
Iranian diplomats met counterparts from Britain, France and Germany for
talks on the status of US-Iran nuclear negotiations.- 'Snapback'
mechanism -Tehran has held four rounds of nuclear talks with Washington,
the highest-level contact between the two foes since the United States
abandoned the 2015 nuclear accord.US President Donald Trump effectively
torpedoed the deal in 2018 during his first term, by unilaterally
pulling out and reimposing sanctions on Iran's oil exports and banking
sector.A year later, Iran began rolling back its commitments to the
agreement, which had offered sanctions relief in return for UN-monitored
restrictions on its nuclear activities.The three European powers --
party to the 2015 accord -- are weighing whether to trigger the
"snapback" mechanism, which would reinstate UN sanctions in response to
Iranian non-compliance. That option expires in October.Araghchi earlier
this month warned of "irreversible" consequences if Britain, France and
Germany moved to reimpose sanctions.He had previously proposed visiting
London, Paris and Berlin for discussions on the nuclear issue as well as
other areas "of mutual interest and concern".In his speech on Sunday,
he urged the Europeans to focus more on shared interests rather than
differences.He said the Europeans should have a greater role in the
US-Iran nuclear talks."We want Europe to play its role, even if it has
minimised its own role," the IRNA news agency quoted Araghchi as
saying.The Oman-mediated nuclear talks aim to conclude a new deal that
would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons -- an ambition Tehran
has consistently denied -- in exchange for lifting the sanctions.On the
sidelines of the forum Araghchi met his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi
and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim
Al-Thani.An Omani foreign ministry statement said Albusaidi and Araghchi
discussed ways of reaching "the desired agreement between the United
States and Iran".bur-srm/ysm
Philippines, US coast guards join military drills in South China Sea-by AFP Staff Writers.
Manila
(AFP) May 21, 2025-The Philippine and US coast guards participated for
the first time in joint military drills, Manila's armed forces said
Wednesday, joining broader exercises held by the two allies in the South
China Sea.Beijing claims almost the entire disputed waterway, through
which more than 60 percent of global maritime trade passes, despite an
international ruling that its assertion has no merit.The "maritime
cooperative activity" was held Tuesday in waters off Palawan and
Occidental Mindoro in the western Philippines.The two countries' coast
guards have held joint exercises before, but never as part of combined
military drills which Manila's armed forces said reflected a "growing
whole-of-nation approach to maritime cooperation".The Philippine coast
guard deployed its 97-metre (320-foot) ship BRP Melchora Aquino and
44-metre ship BRP Malapascua while the US coast guard used the cutter
Stratton, the Philippine military said in the statement.The coast guard
vessels joined Philippine navy and air force assets and US navy P-8A
Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft in a series of exercises including
communication checks, search and rescue and division tactics."As the
Philippines continues to navigate evolving maritime challenges, joint
activities like the MCA reaffirm the (Philippine military's) commitment
to modernizing its capabilities and strengthening defense partnerships
to secure our national and regional maritime interests," Philippine
military chief General Romeo Brawner said.China's embassy in Manila did
not immediately respond to AFP's request for comment.
Keel laid for future guided-missile destroyer USS Quentin Walsh-by Sheri Walsh.
Washington
DC (UPI) May 20, 2025-The keel for the future guided-missile destroyer
USS Quentin Walsh was officially laid Tuesday in a ceremony at Bath Iron
Works in Maine. It is the first time an Arleigh Burke-class ship will
be built in honor of a Coast Guard member.The keel, the structure at the
bottom of the ship's hull, represents the start of construction or
birth of the ship. Madison Ann Zolper, the great-granddaughter of the
ship's namesake Coast Guard Capt. Quentin Walsh, attended Tuesday's
ceremony and welded the family's initials into the keel plate."We are
honored to mark the beginning of the construction for the future USS
Quentin Walsh and celebrate his legacy with his family," said Capt. Jay
Young, Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer program manager for PEO Ships. "DDG
132 will provide our Navy with critical strategic capabilities to
support fleet readiness."The Arleigh Burke-class Flight III destroyer,
designated as DDG 132, will feature upgraded air and missile defense
radar to provide "enhanced war fighting capability to the fleet,"
according to the U.S. Navy. The destroyers are designed to fight air,
surface and subsurface battles at the same time.Walsh, who died in 2000
and held various roles in the U.S. Coast Guard, was awarded the Navy
Cross for heroic actions in the 1944 Battle of Cherbourg during World
War II. Walsh's 53-man reconnaissance unit captured 750 German soldiers
and freed 52 American prisoners of war.Walsh, who also served during the
Korean War, was among those honored in France on the 75th anniversary
of D-Day."Capt. Walsh was a hero whose efforts during World War II
continue to inspire, and his leadership in securing the French port of
Cherbourg had a profound effect on the success of the amphibious
operations associated with Operation Overlord," former Secretary of the
Navy Richard Spencer said at a 2019 ceremony in Cherbourg.That same
year, Adm. Karl Schultz -- former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard --
announced the USS Quentin Walsh."Naming a future Navy destroyer after
Capt. Walsh, the first Arleigh Burke-class ship to be named after a
Coast Guard legend, highlights not only his courageous actions but the
bravery of all U.S. service members involved in the D-Day invasion of
Normandy," Schultz said in 2019, as the Navy on Tuesday celebrated the
start of construction."The keel laying of future USS Quentin Walsh (DDG
132) symbolizes the Navy's 250-year commitment to innovation and
maritime dominance," the U.S. Navy said in a statement. "This milestone
marks the Navy's enduring legacy and commitment to shaping the future of
maritime power."
Russian strike on Ukrainian military training site kills six: Kyiv-by AFP Staff Writers.
Kyiv,
Ukraine (AFP) May 21, 2025-A Russian strike on a military training site
in northeastern Ukraine has killed six soldiers and wounded at least 10
others, the Ukrainian national guard said on Wednesday.Ukraine's Sumy
border region -- from where Kyiv's troops launched last year's major
cross-border offensive into Russia's Kursk region -- has come under
intensifying attacks in recent months after Moscow recaptured its
territory."Six soldiers were killed and more than 10 wounded as a result
of the attack, while they carried out exercises at a military shooting
range," Ukraine's national guard said in a Facebook post, adding that an
investigation has been opened into the incident.Russia's defence
ministry had on Tuesday evening said it had launched a ballistic missile
attack on the site."During reconnaissance activities ... a training
camp" for Ukranian special forces was "detected," it said in a social
media post."Based on the received coordinates, an Iskander missile
strike was launched."Russia also published footage showing the hit on
what it said was a training camp in a wooded area.Aerial footage showed
one strike, sparking a large fire and sending a plume of thick black
smoke billowing into the air."An internal investigation into the
incident is underway. The commander of the military unit has been
suspended, and the necessary information has been passed on to law
enforcement agencies," Ukraine's national guard said.

Chinese Combat Drones Secure Global Market Lead in Counterterrorism-by Riko Seibo.
Tokyo,
Japan (SPX) May 20, 2025-The China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics
(CAAA), a key player in the country's unmanned military aircraft
industry, has sold over 200 medium and large combat drones to more than
10 countries, significantly bolstering global counterterrorism
efforts.Wang Zhaokui, an executive responsible for unmanned aircraft
operations at the Beijing-based academy, noted that since the first
overseas sale in 2003, the Caihong (Rainbow) drones have been widely
deployed across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. These
drones have become crucial assets in anti-terror missions, logging
nearly 70,000 flight hours over 12,000 sorties and achieving a
remarkable 98.2 percent strike success rate with over 2,000 munitions
deployed."Our foreign clients have described the Caihong series as
'sharp weapons for counterterrorism operations,' generating
approximately $2 billion in revenue for China," Wang said.The CH-4 model
has emerged as the most successful in the Caihong lineup, with over 100
units delivered globally, making it China's top-selling armed drone.
One customer in the Middle East reportedly chose the CH-4 after
evaluating similar models from the US, Europe, Israel, and Russia,
citing the CH-4's superior cost-efficiency at roughly 30 percent less
than comparable Western alternatives.The academy's newest offering, the
CH-9 heavy-duty strike drone, was showcased at the 15th China
International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, Guangdong,
last November. With a maximum takeoff weight of 5 metric tons, the CH-9
boasts eight external weapon pylons, a range of 11,500 kilometers, and
an endurance of up to 40 hours. It can autonomously identify targets,
adjust flight paths, and carry a broad range of munitions, including
air-to-air missiles, bombs, and loitering munitions, making it a
formidable asset for long-range missions.The CAAA, a subsidiary of China
Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, has also exported drone assembly
lines to two countries, making it the first Chinese firm to offer this
capability internationally. Beyond military applications, the company
has fielded modified CH-3 models for civilian tasks, including mineral
prospecting and aerial surveys, further broadening its market reach."Our
drones have played a critical role in enhancing the defense
capabilities of our partners and strengthening China's diplomatic ties,"
Wang emphasized.
Chinese Company Conducts Fifth Sea-Based Rocket Launch-by Riko Seibo.
Tokyo,
Japan (SPX) May 20, 2025-Galactic Energy, a Beijing-based private
rocket manufacturer, successfully completed its fifth sea-based launch
of the Ceres 1 carrier rocket on Monday. The rocket lifted off at 3:38
pm from a modified deck barge in the Yellow Sea off the coast of
Shandong Province, delivering four satellites into a low-Earth orbit
approximately 850 kilometers above the planet.The satellites, developed
by Beijing's Guodian Gaoke, will join the Tianqi Network, which now
consists of 37 satellites. This network supports data collection for the
internet of things (IoT) and is utilized in sectors like forestry,
agriculture, tourism, and environmental protection.Galactic Energy has
now conducted 20 orbital missions with its Ceres 1 rocket, deploying a
total of 81 commercial satellites, significantly outpacing other private
competitors in China.The company's first sea-based mission occurred in
September 2023, also off the coast of Shandong, launching four Tianqi
satellites. Subsequent missions included a second in May with four
satellites, a third in August deploying six satellites, and a fourth in
December with four more satellites.China has conducted 16 sea-based
launches to date, using four rocket types: Long March 11, Smart Dragon
3, Ceres 1, and Gravity 1.The Ceres 1 is a 20-meter-tall,
solid-propellant rocket with a 1.4-meter diameter and a liftoff weight
of 33 metric tons. It is capable of carrying a 300-kilogram payload to a
500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit or a 350-kilogram payload to a
200-kilometer low-Earth orbit.
China to host Pacific Island leaders, seeking closer ties.
Beijing,
May 21 (AFP)-China's top diplomat will host leaders from Pacific Island
nations next week for a summit, Beijing announced on Wednesday, as it
seeks closer ties with the strategic region.Leaders and diplomats from
11 Pacific Island nations, including Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Papua
New Guinea and Fiji, will attend the talks in the eastern Chinese city
of Xiamen next Wednesday and Thursday, Beijing's foreign ministry
said.Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said the countries would discuss
"comprehensive exchanges and cooperation between China and Pacific
Island countries, as well as international regional issues of common
concern".Beijing "attaches great importance to its relations with
Pacific island countries" and looks forward to "jointly building a
closer China-Pacific island community with a shared future", Mao
added.China has been upping efforts to cement its influence in the
strategically important Pacific region, challenging the historic sway of
the United States and its ally Australia.Beijing has spent hundreds of
millions of dollars building sports stadiums, government offices,
hospitals and roads in Pacific nations such as Solomon Islands and
Vanuatu.The diplomatic charm offensive has already borne fruit.Kiribati,
Solomon Islands and Nauru have in recent years severed long-standing
diplomatic links with Taiwan in favour of China.Solomon Islands is seen
as a particularly close friend of China in the region.It inked a
secretive security pact with Beijing in 2022, fuelling fears China may
use the archipelago to one day establish a greater military footprint in
the region.ll-oho-sft/je/dhw,CHINA PACIFIC INSURANCE GROUP
Iran says ready to rebuild 'mutual trust' with Europe.
Tehran,
May 18 (AFP)-Iran's top diplomat said Sunday his country was ready to
rebuild trust with European powers considering whether to reimpose UN
sanctions on the Islamic republic under a 2015 nuclear deal."Iran is
ready, should it observe genuine will and an independent approach from
the European parties, to begin a new chapter in its relations with
Europe," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said."If Europe possesses the
necessary will to rectify this path, Iran sees no obstacle to rebuilding
mutual trust and expanding relations," he told a diplomatic forum in
Tehran.On Friday, senior Iranian diplomats met counterparts from
Britain, France and Germany for talks on the status of US-Iran nuclear
negotiations.Tehran has held four rounds of Oman-mediated nuclear talks
with Washington, the highest-level contact between the two foes since
the United States abandoned a 2015 nuclear accord.US President Donald

Pentagon chief orders review of US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Washington,
May 20 (AFP)-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday ordered a
Pentagon review of the chaotic 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan,
which has long been a target of Republican criticism."I have concluded
that we need to conduct a comprehensive review to ensure that
accountability for this event is met and that the complete picture is
provided to the American people," Hegseth wrote in a memo.A special
review panel will "thoroughly examine previous investigations, to
include but not limited to, findings of fact, sources, witnesses, and
analyze the decision making that led to one of America's darkest and
deadliest international moments," the memo said."This team will ensure
ACCOUNTABILITY to the American people and the warfighters of our great
Nation," it added.The US withdrawal saw Taliban fighters sweep aside
Afghan forces, forcing the last American troops to mount an evacuation
from Kabul's airport that got more than 120,000 people out of the
country in a matter of days.On August 26, 2021, a suicide bomber
targeted crowds of people on the perimeter of Kabul airport who were
desperate to get on a flight out of the country, killing more than 170
people, among them 13 American troops.Joe Biden, who was US president
during the withdrawal, defended the decision to leave Afghanistan, which
critics have said helped cause the catastrophic collapse of Afghan
forces.That paved the way for the Taliban to return to power two decades
after their first government was toppled by American forces in the wake
of the September 11 attacks.
Chinese weapons get rare battle
test in India-Pakistan fighting-By Rebecca BAILEY with AFP reporters in
Islamabad and Washington.
Shanghai (AFP) May 20, 2025-Just over a
week after a ceasefire with India was struck, Pakistan's foreign
minister is visiting his country's largest arms supplier, China, with
the performance of the weapons they supplied a matter of burning
interest for analysts and governments alike.The most striking claim from
four days of fighting earlier this month was Islamabad's contention its
Chinese-supplied jets had shot down six Indian aircraft -- including
three French-made Rafale fighters -- with some observers seeing this as a
symbol of Beijing's rising military might.Experts who spoke to AFP
cautioned that a lack of confirmed information and the limited scope of
fighting made it difficult to draw solid conclusions about the Chinese
equipment's prowess.Still, "this was a rare opportunity for the
international community to gauge Chinese military hardware on the
battlefield against Western (Indian) hardware", said Lyle Morris from
the Asia Society Policy Institute.While China pours hundreds of billions
of dollars into defence spending each year, it lags far behind the
United States as an arms exporter.China's drones are used in
counter-terrorism operations, and its weapons have been deployed by
Saudi Arabia in Yemen and against rebel forces in African countries,
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) senior
researcher Siemon Wezeman told AFP."But this is the first time since the
1980s that a state has used large numbers of Chinese weapons of many
types in action against another state," said Wezeman, referencing the
Iran-Iraq war when they were used on both sides.- 'Primary option'
-Pakistan accounts for around 63 percent of China's arms exports,
according to SIPRI. In the recent fighting, Pakistan used the J10-C
Vigorous Dragon and JF-17 Thunder planes, armed with air-to-air
missiles.It was the first time the J10-C has been used in active combat,
said the Stimson Center's Yun Sun.Islamabad's air defences also used
Chinese kit -- including the HQ-9P long-range surface-to-air missile
system -- and deployed Chinese radar as well as armed and reconnaissance
drones."This was the first sustained fight where the bulk of Pakistan's
forces used Chinese weapons and, basically, relied on them as their
primary option," said Bilal Khan, founder of the Toronto-based Quwa
Defence News & Analysis Group.India has not officially confirmed any
of its aircraft were lost, although a senior security source told AFP
three jets had crashed on home soil without giving the make or
cause.Rafale maker Dassault has also not commented.The Rafale is
considered one of Europe's most high-tech jets, while the J10-C "is not
even China's most advanced", said James Char from Singapore's Nanyang
Technological University.But if Pakistan's claims are true, "this should
not be surprising... considering that the Rafale is a multirole
fighter, whereas the J-10C was built for aerial combat and is also
equipped with a stronger radar," Char said.The Chinese air-defence
systems, however, "do not appear to have been as effective as the
Pakistan Air Force would have hoped", said Quwa's Khan, after India said
it had neutralised one near the eastern border city of Lahore.If true,
said SIPRI's Wezeman, that "would be a bigger success and more than
balance the loss of some aircraft in the process".- 'Significant
reorientation' -In the days after the dogfight reports, J10-C maker
Chengdu Aircraft Company's stock soared over forty percent."We most
likely will see more orders going to Chinese contractors," said the
Stimson Center's Sun.However, "it will take time and significant
reorientation by Chinese arms manufacturers for the country to be a big
arms exporter", said Jennifer Kavanagh from the US think tank Defense
Priorities.She noted that China "cannot mass-produce certain key inputs,
including aircraft engines".Wezeman said he thought the stock markets
"overreacted", as "we still have to see how well all the weapons used
worked and if it really means much".Even if more data emerges, the
conflict still does not reveal much about the Chinese military's own
capabilities, the analysts said.China's own systems and weapons are much
more advanced than what it exports.And while having high-tech hardware
is important, "much more important is how those weapons are used", said
Kavanagh.Brian Hart of CSIS said he would caution against "reading too
much" into recent developments."I don't think you can make direct
comparisons to how these Chinese-made systems would fare in different
environments against more advanced adversaries like the United States,"
he explained."Since the number of data points is small and since we
don't know much about the proficiency and training of the personnel on
either side, it is hard to draw definitive conclusions," said Kavanagh.
Indian space agency's rocket fails to deploy satellite for Earth observation-by Allen Cone.
Washington
DC (UPI) May 18, 2025-India failed in its attempt to launch a satellite
to observe Earth when the third stage failed, the nation's space agency
said Sunday.The Indian Space Research Organization's EOS-09 spacecraft
lifted off atop a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket from Satish
Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota at 5:59 a.m. local time Sunday. There
have been 101 launches from Sriharikota, which is 1417 miles from New
Delhi, including three to the moon and one to Mars.The satellite was
lost because of an issue with the third stage of the rocket about six
minutes after launch."Third stage, motor started perfectly, but during
the functioning of the third stage, we are seeing an observation, and
the mission could not be accomplished," ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan said
in a televised statement after the launch. "Third stage, motor started
perfectly, but during the functioning of the third stage, we are seeing
an observation, and the mission could not be accomplished. After
analysis, we shall come back."ISRO posted on X that "the mission could
now be accomplished.The 3,735-pound satellite was to be deployed from
the upper stage about 18 minutes after liftoff at an altitude of 332
miles.This was to be India's ninth mission in India's Earth Observation
Satellite series.The satellite included a synthetic aperture radar
payload, which had been been successfully deployed in other missions.The
satellites can observe Earth day and night, including cloud cover.India
Today noted the round-the-clock, reliable intelligence is significant
among security concerns along India's borders with Pakistan and
China.India was the first country to land a spacecraft near the moon's
south pole in 2023. This is an arrea scientists believe could hold
reserves of frozen water.
Israel arrests two accused of spying on defence minister for Iran-by AFP Staff Writers.
Jerusalem
(AFP) May 20, 2025-Israeli authorities said Tuesday that they had
arrested two citizens suspected of carrying out "intelligence-gathering
missions" at Iran's behest near the defence minister's home.The arrests
are the latest in a spate of cases in which Israel has charged its own
citizens with spying for the country's arch-foe since the start of the
war in Gaza in October 2023.Police and the Shin Bet domestic security
agency said that "in a joint operation... Roi Mizrachi and his friend,
Almog Attias, both 24, were arrested at the end of April for committing
security offences after collecting intelligence in Kfar Ahim", where
Defence Minister Israel Katz lives.The men were acting "on behalf of
Iran" and motivated by "financial gain", said the statement from the
security agencies.On Sunday, authorities announced the arrest of an
18-year-old Israeli accused of spying on former prime minister Naftali
Bennet, also for Iran.Other cases uncovered recently included alleged
missions ranging from photographing military bases to plotting to kill
senior Israeli officials.Police said most suspects did not have special
training and had faced financial difficulties.Defence Minister Katz said
in a statement he would not be "deterred" by attempts to spy on
him."Iran is... directly advancing terrorist activity and supporting
terrorist organisations that act against Israeli leaders and against all
citizens of the State of Israel," he said."I will not be deterred by
any threat and will continue to fulfil my duty to prevent Iran from
obtaining nuclear weapons."The Shin Bet and police said that Mizrachi
and Attias were asked to carry out a number of missions near Katz's
home.Mizrachi had purchased a new cellphone and used "a special app" to
communicate with his Iranian handlers, the security agencies said in
their statement.The pair were "fully aware they were acting under
Iranian direction", the statement added.Among the tasks Mizrachi had
allegedly carried out, the agencies said he moved "a bag buried in the
ground from one location to another" thinking that it "contained an
explosive device".Indictments against the two men are expected to be
filed in the coming days, the statement said.
Beirut, PA agree
that Lebanon won’t be used as a launchpad for attacks on Israel-Abbas
and Aoun agree on ‘commitment’ that Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon
can’t be ‘safe havens for extremist groups,’ don’t specify how
crackdown is planned-By AP and ToI Staff Today, 7:57 pm-MAY 21,25
BEIRUT
— The Lebanese and Palestinian Authority presidents agreed Wednesday
that Palestinian factions won’t use Lebanon as a launchpad for any
attacks against Israel, and to remove weapons that aren’t under the
authority of the Lebanese state.The announcement was made during a
meeting between President Joseph Aoun and PA President Mahmoud Abbas,
who arrived earlier in the day beginning a three-day visit to Lebanon,
his first in seven years.Lebanon’s government is seeking to establish
authority throughout the country, mainly in the south near the border
with Israel, after the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war that ended in late
November with a US-brokered ceasefire.The 12 Palestinian refugee camps
in Lebanon aren’t under the control of the Lebanese state, and
Palestinian factions in the camps have different types of weapons. Rival
groups have clashed inside the camps in recent years, inflicting
casualties and affecting nearby areas.It wasn’t immediately clear how
the weapons would be removed from the camps, which are home to tens of
thousands of Palestinians, many of them descendants of families that
fled to Lebanon amid Israel’s War of Independence in 1948.Abbas’s Fatah
movement and the Hamas terror group are the main factions in the camps.
Smaller groups, including some jihadist factions, also have a presence
in the camps, mainly in Ein el-Hilweh, which is Lebanon’s largest
Palestinian refugee camp and located near the southern port city of
Sidon.Hamas has claimed multiple attacks on Israel from Lebanon during
more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Hezbollah terror
group, which erupted when the Iran-backed terror group began attacking
northern Israel a day after the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in the
south on October 7, 2023.A joint statement read by the Lebanese
presidency’s spokeswoman, Najat Sharafeddine, said that both sides have
agreed that weapons should only be with the Lebanese state, and the
existence of “weapons outside the control of the Lebanese state has
ended.”The statement said that both sides have agreed that Palestinian
camps in Lebanon aren’t “safe havens for extremist groups.”It added that
“the Palestinian side confirms its commitment to not using Lebanese
territories to launch any military operations.”In late March, Israel
intensified its airstrikes on Lebanon in response to Hamas allegedly
firing rockets at northern Israel from southern Lebanon.Shortly after
the wave of airstrikes, the Lebanese government, for the first time,
called out the Palestinian group and arrested nearly 10 suspects
involved in the operation. Hamas was pressured by the military to turn
in three of its militants from different refugee camps.The nearly
400,000 Palestinians in Lebanon are prohibited from working in many
professional jobs, have few legal protections, and can’t own property.
UN
official's claim 14,000 babies could die in 2 days debunked-Gazans say
no humanitarian aid has reached them, day after trucks entered
Strip-IDF’s COGAT declines to comment on UN claims that agencies have
not been allowed to pick up supplies from border; Israel allows UAE to
send assistance to feed 15,000-By Jeremy Sharon,Jacob Magid,Agencies and
ToI Staff Today, 6:19 pm-MAY 21,25
Palestinians and aid agencies
in Gaza on Wednesday said they were still waiting for aid to enter the
Strip more than 48 hours after Israel, amid mounting international
pressure, said it would start sending in desperately needed food and
supplies after an 11-week blockade.The UN has said even though trucks
have entered Gaza, the Israeli army has not given permission to pick up
the aid on the Gaza side of the border. The IDF body responsible has
declined to comment on the charges.“None of this aid – that is a very
limited number of trucks – has reached the Gaza population,” said
Antoine Renard, country director of the World Food Program (WFP), who
said the trucks appeared to be stopped in Kerem Shalom, the sprawling
logistics hub at the south-eastern corner of the Gaza Strip.Abdel-Nasser
Al-Ajramy, the head of the Gaza bakery owners’ society, said at least
25 bakeries that were told they would receive flour from the WFP had
seen nothing, and the people waiting for food had no relief from
hunger.“There is no flour, no food, no water,” said Sabah Warsh Agha, a
67-year-old woman from the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya sheltering
in a cluster of tents near the beach in Gaza City. “We used to get water
from the pump, now the pump has stopped working. There is no diesel or
gas.”Umm Talal Al-Masri, 53, a displaced Palestinian living in an area
of Gaza City, on Wednesday described the situation as “unbearable.”“No
one is distributing anything to us. Everyone is waiting for aid, but we
haven’t received anything,” she told AFP.“We’re grinding lentils and
pasta to make some loaves of bread, and we barely manage to prepare one
meal a day.”The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities
in the Territories (COGAT), which coordinates the supply of humanitarian
aid into Gaza, on Wednesday declined to respond to claims by the United
Nations that its agencies have been unable to collect and distribute
aid brought into the territory on Tuesday through the Kerem Shalom goods
crossing.Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman to the UN Secretary General,
said on Tuesday that members of a UN team “waited several hours for
Israeli green light to access Kerem Shalom area” to pick up the aid that
was brought in, but ultimately they had not been able to do so.COGAT
said Tuesday night that 93 UN trucks carrying “flour for bakeries, food
for babies, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs” were
“transferred via the Kerem Shalom Crossing into the Gaza Strip.”Israel
had blocked all aid from entering Gaza since March 2, arguing that
sufficient humanitarian assistance had entered the Strip during a
six-week ceasefire before that and that Hamas was stealing aid, with the
blockade necessary to pressure the terror group to release the dozens
of hostages it is holding.In recent weeks, however, some officials in
the IDF have begun warning the political leadership that the enclave was
on the brink of starvation.UN agencies and humanitarian organizations
have said that “acute hunger” and displacement caused by Israel’s
renewed military campaign and “extreme levels of deprivation” in Gaza
mean that the civilian population is in desperate need of large volumes
of aid to avoid a humanitarian disaster.Trading blame-Before the
ceasefire that went into effect on Jan. 19, COGAT and the UN were in an
ongoing dispute about who was responsible for aid distribution
difficulties.The UN claimed that COGAT and the IDF frequently refused
their requests for collection and distribution authorization, and that
dangerous and complex conditions inside Gaza made aid distribution very
difficult.However, COGAT claimed that the number of times it denied
authorization was extremely low, and presented figures to the High Court
of Justice to that effect. It also claimed that the UN was inefficient
in delivering the aid, and pointed out that large quantities of aid
frequently accumulated on the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom.Aid groups also
charge that aid that has been allowed in is massively insufficient.The
amount of aid Israel has started to allow into war-ravaged Gaza Strip is
not nearly enough and is “a smokescreen to pretend the siege is over,”
the Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) aid group
said.“The Israeli authorities’ decision to allow a ridiculously
inadequate amount of aid into Gaza after months of an air-tight siege
signals their intention to avoid the accusation of starving people in
Gaza, while in fact keeping them barely surviving,” says Pascale
Coissard, MSF’s emergency coordinator in southern Gaza’s Khan
Younis.Meanwhile, Israel agreed to allow humanitarian assistance from
the United Arab Emirates into Gaza, which will initially feed 15,000
people, Abu Dhabi announced Tuesday following a phone call between
Emirati Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed and his Israeli counterpart,
Gideon Sa’ar.“The initiative also includes the provision of essential
supplies to support the operation of bakeries in the Strip, as well as
critical items for infant care, while ensuring a continuous supply to
meet the ongoing needs of civilians,” said the UAE Foreign Ministry’s
director of communications, Afra al-Hameli, in a statement.Israel has
relied heavily on the UAE’s support for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Abu
Dhabi says its assistance amounts to over 40% of the aid that enters the
Strip.Earlier this month, Israel sought to convince the UAE to bankroll
a new aid initiative led by the newly founded Gaza Humanitarian
Foundation. Aid groups have pushed back against the effort, saying it
fails to address the humanitarian crisis and forces the mass
displacement of Gazans, while failing to feed almost 40 percent of them
initially. Emirati officials accordingly told their Israeli counterparts
that they could not back the GHF initiative as it currently stood, a
source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel.The US-backed
GHF will start work in Gaza by the end of May under a heavily criticized
aid plan that the UN aid chief Tom Fletcher has described as a “fig
leaf for further violence and displacement” of Palestinians in
Gaza.During Tuesday’s call between the foreign ministers, bin Zayed
“affirmed the importance of ensuring the urgent, sustainable, safe and
unhindered delivery of humanitarian, relief, and medical assistance to
the brotherly Palestinians in the Strip,” the Emirati readout said,
adding that the ministers also discussed efforts to reach a hostage
release and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.Amid growing global
outrage, the United Kingdom said Tuesday it was suspending free trade
agreement negotiations with Israel and taking other punitive measures,
including the imposition of sanctions on a list of West Bank settlers,
in response to Israel’s wartime policies during its conflict with Hamas
in Gaza.Additionally, the European Union agreed to review its
cooperation deal with Jerusalem over alleged human rights abuses in
Gaza.On Monday, the leaders of Britain, France, and Canada issued a
joint statement condemning Israel’s handling of the humanitarian
situation in Gaza and calling on Israel to immediately halt military
action in the enclave and allow in more aid, threatening “further
concrete actions in response” if Jerusalem refuses.Debunked: UN
official’s claim 14,000 Gazan babies could die in 48 hours-After the
UN’s Fletcher told the BBC Tuesday that some 14,000 babies in Gaza could
die in the next 48 hours if aid does not reach them in time, the
British broadcaster clarified that this claim was false and based on an
incorrect interpretation of a report issued by the UN’s Integrated Food
Security Phase Classification (IPC).The claim was widely reported in
international media outlets, including The Times of Israel, and was
repeatedly cited by UK lawmakers during a House of Commons debate on
Tuesday.However, the BBC said Wednesday that after asking the UN’s
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for clarification,
it turns out the remarks were based on an IPC report that warned that
14,100 severe cases of acute malnutrition were expected to occur between
April 2025 and March 2026 among children aged between six months and
five years.This means that in fact, according to the UN report, not all
of the 14,000 children are babies, they are not all expected to die, and
— most notably — this is predicted to happen over the course of a full
year, not 48 hours, if aid isn’t allowed into Gaza.Pro-Israel
commentators blasted the UN for the error.Fletcher “should hand in his
resignation immediately for causing a global media panic about something
totally made up. He is either a complete numpty or malicious. Either
way, serving Hamas’ war goals,” said Eylon Levy, a former spokesman for
Israel’s government.
US to appoint its ambassador to Turkey as
special envoy for Syria, sources say-State Department says no
announcement yet on Thomas Barrack, a longtime friend of president; move
comes as administration builds ties with new Damascus regime By Timour
Azhari and Jonathan Spicer Today, 3:01 pm-MAY 21,25
DAMASCUS/ISTANBUL
(Reuters) — The United States will appoint President Donald Trump’s
longtime friend and current US ambassador to Turkey, Thomas Barrack, as a
special envoy for Syria, a person with direct knowledge of the matter
and a diplomat in Turkey said.The decision follows Trump’s landmark
announcement last week that US sanctions on Syria would be lifted. It
also suggests US acknowledgement that Turkey has emerged with key
regional influence on Damascus since Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad’s
ouster by rebels in December, ending 14 years of civil war.Asked for
comment, a US State Department spokesperson said: “There is no
announcement at this time.”Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Rubio said he was allowing
Turkish embassy staff, including Barrack, to work with local officials
in Syria to understand what kind of aid they need.“We want to help that
government succeed, because the alternative is full-scale civil war and
chaos, which would, of course, destabilize the entire region,” Rubio
said.A US-Turkish meeting focused on Syria took place in Washington on
Tuesday with Barrack in attendance, according to Turkey’s foreign
ministry, which said sanctions relief and efforts to counter terrorism
had been discussed.The US had sought a step-for-step approach to Syria
sanctions relief until Trump’s announcement that he was ordering “the
cessation of sanctions,” which he said aimed to give Syria a chance to
recover from devastating war. He said he made the decision after
discussions with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish
President Tayyip Erdogan.Trump also met with Syria’s interim president
Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on May 14 and urged him to normalize
ties with longtime foe Israel following his surprise sanctions
announcement.Removing US sanctions that cut Syria off from the global
financial system would clear the way for greater engagement by
humanitarian organizations working in Syria, and ease foreign investment
and trade as the country looks to rebuild.
Israel will seize
more of Gaza if Hamas doesn’t free hostages, IDF chief warns-Zamir tells
Gazan civilians that their leaders, not Israel, ‘brought destruction’
upon them, as hostage talks appear to once more reach an impasse in
Doha-By Emanuel Fabian-20 May 2025, 11:30 pm
The Israeli military
is prepared to capture more territory in the Gaza Strip if Hamas does
not agree to release the remaining hostages it is keeping in captivity,
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned in a video statement on
Tuesday.He issued the ultimatum following a situational assessment and
field tour in Gaza, days into a major new offensive dubbed “Gideon’s
Chariots,” through which Israel seeks to attack Hamas and seize and
retain territory, while relocating Palestinians from the north of the
Strip to its south.The offensive was launched amid negotiations in Qatar
for a ceasefire and hostage release deal, which started back up again
last week following the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan
Alexander.Israel had previously warned that it would launch the
offensive should no agreement be reached following the end of US
President Donald Trump’s visit to the region last week. While reports
initially indicated that the new talks were moving in the right
direction, they hit a wall in recent days.Zamir said “Hamas will pay a
price for its refusal” to release the hostages.“It will face intense
firepower,” he said. “We will expand the ground maneuver, conquer
additional territory, clear and destroy the terror infrastructure until
its defeat.”“Hamas only has one option, and that is to release our
hostages,” Zamir continued, adding that should an agreement be reached,
“the IDF will know how to adjust its activity accordingly.”“Our
objectives are clear: the return of the hostages to their homes, the
defeat of Hamas and the dismantling of its rule,” he continued. “We are
defending ourselves, and for that we must attack. We cannot defend
ourselves only on the defense, without clearly removing the threat from
the other side of the border.”At several points during his remarks,
Zamir recalled that Israel had not been the one to start the war in
Gaza, but that it erupted when Hamas launched its deadly cross-border
invasion on October 7, 2023.“This was not a military assault, but a
horrifying crime against innocent civilians, and act of terror against
the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” he said of the attack, in
which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were seized as hostages, of
whom 58 are still awaiting release.“Since that dreadful day, the IDF has
acted with force and determination in a multi-front campaign against
enemies whose goal is to destroy us,” said Zamir.Turning to the
Palestinian civilians in Gaza, he added: “We are not the ones who
brought this destruction upon you.”“We did not start the war. We did not
rob you of food, shelter, or money. We are not the ones hiding in
hospitals or schools. We are not the ones staying in luxury hotels while
you live in hardship,” he said.“This is your leadership, those who are
holding our hostages. Hamas is responsible for starting the war. It is
responsible for the dire situation of the population. It destroyed, and
it will not be the one to rebuild.”In total, 58 hostages are still being
held in the Gaza Strip, of whom 57 were abducted on October 7,
2023.They include the bodies of at least 35 confirmed dead by the IDF,
and 20 who are believed to be alive. There are grave concerns for the
well-being of three others, Israeli officials have said.In his remarks,
Zamir also reiterated his criticism of controversial remarks made
earlier in the day by The Democrats party chairman Yair Golan, who
accused Israel’s leaders of sending the military to “kill babies as a
hobby.”Golan had warned that Israel is “on the way to becoming a pariah
state” if it doesn’t “return to acting like a sane country.”Pushing
back, Zamir asserted that the military “operates at all times in
accordance with the IDF’s values, the law and international law, while
uncompromisingly safeguarding the security of the State of Israel and
its citizens.“Any statement that casts doubt on the integrity of our
actions and the morality of our fighters is baseless.”Israel’s “highest
moral and ethical duty” is to defend its people “against an immoral
enemy, among the cruelest in human history,” the IDF chief said.He
appealed for the Israeli public to “support and unite around IDF
soldiers.”“Together we will fight. Together we will prevail,” he vowed.
“Our actions will speak for themselves.”Times of Israel staff

Messages from dozens of US officials
found in leaked breach of Israel-founded app-Review finds texts from
over 60 government employees in hack of TeleMessage public records
compliance service after ex-Trump adviser Waltz spotted checking
messages via application By Reuters and ToI Staff Today, 3:01 pm-MAY
21,25
A hacker who breached the communications service used by
former Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz earlier this month
intercepted messages from a broader swath of American officials than has
previously been reported, according to a Reuters review, potentially
raising the stakes of a breach that has already drawn questions about
data security in the Trump administration.Reuters identified more than
60 unique government users of the messaging platform TeleMessage in a
cache of leaked data provided by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a US
nonprofit whose stated mission is to archive hacked and leaked documents
in the public interest.The trove included material from disaster
responders, customs officials, several US diplomatic staffers, at least
one White House staffer and members of the Secret Service. The messages
reviewed by Reuters covered a roughly daylong period of time ending on
May 4, and many of them were fragmentary.Once little known outside
government and finance circles, the Israel-founded TeleMessage drew
media attention after an April 30 Reuters photograph showed Waltz
checking TeleMessage’s version of the privacy-focused app Signal during a
cabinet meeting.While Reuters could not verify the entire contents of
the TeleMessage trove, in more than half a dozen cases the news agency
was able to establish that the phone numbers in the leaked data were
correctly attributed to their owners. One of the intercepted texts’
recipients — an applicant for aid from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency — confirmed to Reuters that the leaked message was authentic; a
financial services firm whose messages were similarly intercepted also
confirmed their authenticity.Based on its limited review, Reuters
uncovered nothing that seemed clearly sensitive and did not uncover
chats by Waltz or other cabinet officials. Some chats did seem to bear
on the travel plans of senior government officials. One Signal group,
“POTUS | ROME-VATICAN | PRESS GC,” appeared to pertain to the logistics
of an event at the Vatican. Another appeared to discuss US officials’
trip to Jordan.Reuters reached out to all the individuals it could
identify seeking comment; some confirmed their identities but most
didn’t respond or referred questions to their respective
agencies.Reuters could not ascertain how TeleMessage had been used by
each agency. The service — which takes versions of popular apps and
allows their messages to be archived in line with government rules — has
been suspended since May 5, when it went offline “out of an abundance
of caution.” TeleMessage’s owner, the Portland, Oregon-based digital
communications firm Smarsh, did not respond to requests for comments
about the leaked data.The White House said in a statement that it was
“aware of the cyber security incident at Smarsh” but didn’t offer
comment on its use of the platform. The State Department didn’t respond
to emails. The Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency for
FEMA, CISA, the Secret Service, and Customs and Border Protection,
similarly did not respond to messages. FEMA said in an email that had
“no evidence” that its information had been compromised. It didn’t
respond when sent copies of internal FEMA messages. A CBP spokesperson
repeated a past statement noting that it had disabled TeleMessage and
was investigating the breach.TeleMessage was launched in Petah Tikva in
1999. In February 2024, it was acquired by Smarsh, retaining co-founder
and CEO Guy Levit as well as an office in Israel.Federal contracting
data shows that State and DHS have had contracts with TeleMessage in
recent years, as has the Centers for Disease Control. A CDC spokesperson
told Reuters in an email Monday that the agency piloted the software in
2024 to assess its potential for records management requirements “but
found it did not fit our needs.”The status of the other contracts wasn’t
clear. A week after that hack, the US cyber defense agency CISA
recommended that users “discontinue use of the product” barring any
mitigating instructions about how to use the app from Smarsh.According
to Shomrim, the Center for Media and Democracy, an Israeli investigative
outlet, several Israeli government offices also used TeleMessage as of
2024, including the Foreign Ministry, Justice Ministry, and Health
Ministry.Jake Williams, a former National Security Agency cyber
specialist, said that, even if the intercepted text messages were
innocuous, the wealth of metadata — the who and when of the leaked
conversations and chat groups — posed a counterintelligence risk.“Even
if you don’t have the content, that is a top-tier intelligence access,”
said Williams, now vice president of research and development at
cybersecurity firm Hunter Strategy.Waltz’s prior use of Signal created a
public furor when he accidentally added a prominent journalist to a
Signal chat where he and other Trump cabinet officials were discussing
air raids on Yemen in real time.Soon after, Waltz was ousted from his
job, although not from the administration: Trump said he was nominating
Waltz to be the next US ambassador to the United Nations.The
circumstances surrounding Waltz’s use of TeleMessage haven’t been
publicly disclosed and neither he nor the White House has responded to
questions about the matter.
Bell says services fully restored
after widespread outage hit Ontario, Quebec | CBC News Loaded-After
users reported internet, mobile issues, company say update triggered
blackout-Jenna Benchetrit · CBC News · Posted: May 21, 2025 9:50 AM EDT |
After
users in Ontario and Quebec reported a widespread outage of Bell
Canada's services this morning, the company said an update triggered the
interruption and that it had since fully restored its system."Bell
conducted an update that impacted some of our routers. We rolled back
the update to quickly restore services," a spokesperson for the company
told CBC News. "We want to assure our customers and partners that this
was a technical issue and we have ruled out a cybersecurity incident as
the root cause.""Our network teams are conducting a full review to
ensure that this situation doesn't happen again. We apologize for the
inconvenience caused and thank customers for their patience."Data from
DownDetector, an outage tracker, showed that complaints spiked around
9:30 a.m. ET, with more than 133,000 reports made. Most of the reports
cited issues with landline and mobile internet connections.By 12:15 p.m.
ET, that number had flattened to fewer than 1,500 complaints."When an
update goes wrong, there is a ripple effect that happens," said Ritesh
Kotak, a technology expert based in Toronto."That's most likely what
happened here. One bad update caused a chain reaction of other switches
and routers to shut down," he said, adding that it sometimes takes a
while to turn the system back on so as not to trigger further
damage.Telecoms pledged changes after 2022 Rogers outage-Bell Canada
initially acknowledged in a message on its Facebook page this morning
that "some customers in Ontario and Quebec may be experiencing an
internet service interruption.""We are working to restore service as
quickly as possible," the statement said. "Thank you for your
patience."The company shared an update on social media at 11:30 a.m. ET,
acknowledging that some customers were also having issues with mobile
service.The DownDetector map shows that some outages are being reported
across Atlantic Canada. Bell Aliant, a subsidiary that operates in the
Atlantic provinces, doesn't appear to be having the same issues as the
wider network.After a massive Rogers outage left 12 million people
without internet service in 2022, Canada's telecom regulator set new
rules requiring companies to report major outages and interruptions
within two hours. More than a dozen Canadian telecoms — including Bell,
Rogers and Telus — signed a memorandum of understanding that year,
pledging to work together to provide emergency roaming, mutual
assistance and communications with the public and the government during
an outage or other "impactful disaster."Jenna Benchetrit is the senior

Netanyahu: London, Paris and Ottawa
'offering prize to terror'UK, France, Canada warn of ‘concrete actions’
if Israel doesn’t halt war, boost aid-Statement calls on Hamas to
release hostages, threatens sanctions over West Bank settlement
expansion; 22 countries sign separate statement urging full resumption
of aid-By Nava Freiberg, AFP and ToI Staff 20 May 2025, 12:56 am
The
leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada issued a joint
statement Monday condemning Israel’s handling of the humanitarian
situation in Gaza and calling on the Jewish state to immediately halt
military action in the enclave and allow in more aid, threatening
“further concrete actions in response” if Jerusalem refuses.The three
leaders — Britain’s Keir Starmer, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Canada’s
Mark Carney — called Israel’s announcement Sunday to allow a limited
amount of aid into Gaza “wholly inadequate” and said the country’s
failure to assist the Gazan civilian population “is unacceptable and
risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.”Netanyahu hit back in a
statement, saying London, Paris and Ottawa were “offering a huge prize
for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such
atrocities.”The earlier statement from the three Western countries
called on Israel to engage with the United Nations “to ensure a return
to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles.”Five aid trucks
entered Gaza on Monday for the first time since March 1, when Israel
halted the assistance to pressure the terror group to release dozens of
hostages it is holding. Israel argued that a sufficient amount of goods
entered the Strip during a six-week ceasefire and that Hamas has been
stealing much of that aid. In recent weeks, though, some officials in
the IDF have begun warning the political leadership that the enclave was
on the brink of starvation.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered
the immediate resumption of “basic” humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip
on Sunday evening, making a highly unpopular decision among his
right-wing circles in light of mounting pressure from Washington to end
the blockade.The aid began entering the Strip as the military pushed
ahead with a fresh operation in Gaza, dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots,” which,
according to Israeli officials, would see the IDF “conquer” Gaza, raze
the vast majority of buildings and retain the territory for the
foreseeable future; attack Hamas and prevent it from taking control of
humanitarian aid supplies; and move Palestinians from Gaza’s north to
its south.The UK, France and Canada on Monday rejected the prospect of
“permanent forced displacement” of Gazan civilians, and rebuked members
of the Israeli government for using “abhorrent language… threatening
that, in their despair at the destruction of Gaza, civilians will start
to relocate.”“We call on Hamas to release immediately the remaining
hostages they have so cruelly held since 7 October 2023,” the statement
added.“Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always
supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this
escalation is wholly disproportionate,” the statement said.The massacre
that sparked the war saw thousands of Hamas-led terrorists rampage
through southern communities, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly
civilians, and taking 251 hostages to Gaza. Terrorists are still holding
58 hostages, of whom 35 have been confirmed dead by Israel.The nations
on Monday also expressed opposition to the expansion of settlements in
the West Bank, which would “undermine the viability of a Palestinian
state,” and said they “will not hesitate to take further action,
including targeted sanctions,” if the settlements are not halted.The
three countries praised the efforts of the United States, Qatar and
Egypt to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, saying a ceasefire and hostage
release deal, together with “a long-term political solution” offer the
best solution for resolving the conflict, as well as “ending Hamas’s
control of Gaza and achieving a pathway to a two-state solution,
consistent with the goals of the June 18 conference in New York
co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France.”“We will continue to work with
the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel, and the United
States to finalize consensus on arrangements for Gaza’s future, building
on the Arab plan,” continued the statement, saying the upcoming June
conference will aim to build international cooperation on this
matter.The Arab plan envisions an independent committee of technocrats
running Gaza for six months before handing off control of the Strip to
the Palestinian Authority — an outcome ruled out by Israel’s government.
It provides for Palestinians to remain in the Strip while it is being
rebuilt, as opposed to a proposal by US President Donald Trump that the
entire population be relocated.It offers international peacekeeping
troops to be dispatched to Gaza through a UN Security Council
resolution. In the meantime, Egypt and Jordan will train Palestinian
Authority police officers so that they can then be dispatched to Gaza to
uphold law and order, the plan says.However, the Arab proposal does not
significantly address Hamas, instead maintaining that armed groups in
Gaza can only be fully addressed through a political process that
establishes a Palestinian state — an outcome opposed by Netanyahu’s
government.Responding to the joint statement, a statement from
Netanyahu’s office asserted, “The war can end tomorrow if the remaining
hostages are released, Hamas lays down its arms, its murderous leaders
are exiled and Gaza is demilitarized.“No nation can be expected to
accept anything less and Israel certainly won’t.”“Israel accepts [US]
President [Donald] Trump’s vision and urges all European leaders to do
the same,” said the PMO, apparently offering support for the American
president’s plan to take over Gaza and clear it of its Palestinians, as
opposed to the two-state solution path that the three leaders argued is
the best way to end the conflict.“This is a war of civilization over
barbarism. Israel will continue to defend itself by just means until
total victory is achieved,” Netanyahu concluded.An additional joint
statement signed by twenty-two donor countries on Monday also urged
Israel to “allow a full resumption of aid into Gaza immediately,” after
the partial lifting of its blockade on the territory.The foreign
ministers of the countries, including France and Germany, said that
“while we acknowledge indications of a limited restart of aid,” the
population of the war-ravaged territory “faces starvation” and “must
receive the aid they desperately need.”The statement was also signed by
the foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and
the UK.Lacking Haredi manpower, IDF turns to womanpower: 1 in 5 fighters
are now female-During recent Knesset committee discussions, IDF
representatives revealed that women now make up 20.9% of the combat
force. Among them are a growing number of religious women-By Tal
Schneider-Today, 12:48 pm-MAY 21,25
One in five Israeli combat
soldiers is female, a senior officer said in a recent Knesset hearing,
underlining a major uptick in women serving in fighting roles.
“Today,
women make up 20.9% of the IDF’s combat force – this is an
unprecedented figure. We’re also seeing an increase in the technological
units, but the main surge is in women serving as combat soldiers,”
Brig. Gen. Shay Tayeb, head of the Personnel Directorate’s Planning and
Personnel Management Division, said on May 7 while presenting official
data to Knesset members in a discussion focused on female combat
soldiers in the context of the need for an equitable conscription law
for ultra-Orthodox men.However, as women increasingly enlist in light
infantry battalions, elite combat units, and other units that may put
them on the frontlines, the army may struggle to address the dual
challenge of integrating them alongside a hoped-for influx of
ultra-Orthodox soldiers, policy planners warned.Out of 18,915 Haredim
who received initial draft orders since July 2024, around 319 have
enlisted; 2,521 who ignored multiple draft orders were sent immediate
call-up orders requiring them to show up at an induction center within
48 hours or be declared a draft evader.In direct opposition to Haredi
men evading the draft, Maj. Sapir Barabi, head of the Sources Department
at the IDF Personnel Directorate, noted that between 2012 and 2024 –
based on recruitment yearbook data – the number of female combat
soldiers rose tenfold.Regarding the types of combat roles open to women,
the IDF said that women can today be assigned to 58% of combat
positions. Units still closed to women include all of the IDF’s
maneuvering infantry and armored forces, along with the vast majority of
commando units, all of which are trained to operate within enemy
territory.Cracks in the special forces glass ceiling-The IDF has offered
women combat service for about 20 years in the framework of
mixed-gender light infantry battalions that are permanently stationed on
Israel’s borders with Egypt, Jordan, and, more recently, the West Bank,
as part of the Border Defense Corps.Women comprise approximately 60% of
all mixed-gender battalions, and the male and female combat soldiers
train and serve together from the moment of enlistment through training
and deployment to the borders.During the October 7, 2023, Hamas
onslaught, members of one of the light infantry battalions normally
stationed on the Egypt border, Caracal, and its all-female tank company
fought for hours, killing dozens of attackers along the border and in
communities overrun by terrorists.The Home Front Command’s Search and
Rescue Brigade, whose troops are mostly women and fully combat-trained,
is often deployed to carry out routine arrest and defense operations in
the West Bank. During the war, the search and rescue forces operated in
Gaza to assist the maneuvering troops.In the Air Force, women and men
serve together in the aerial defense array — technically considered
combat service. The Navy also sees women serving alongside men aboard
missile boats.Female soldiers also serve as canine handlers in the elite
Oketz unit and as paramedics in other male-dominated infantry and
armored brigades, including during the ground offensive in Gaza.The IDF
is expanding other opportunities after seeing a significant rise in the
number of women serving in combat roles.In 2024, the IDF launched pilot
programs to integrate women into special forces units, including Unit
669, Sayeret Matkal, and Yahalom – the Combat Engineering Corps’ elite
unit. The pilot at Yahalom has ended and the IDF is awaiting a decision
on whether it will officially open the unit to female service.Some
female soldiers who completed the Yahalom pilot have already gone on to
the IDF officers’ course, while others are now completing two years in
the unit. It is unclear whether the IDF has integrated those women who
completed the pilot into operational activity beyond the border.The two
female soldiers who were recruited to the prestigious 669 rescue unit
dropped out, and no public information is available about the one
recruited to the Sayeret Matkal special reconnaissance unit. At this
point, there is no information on whether the pilot as a whole will
continue or whether additional female recruits will be added to these
units.The IDF notes that all the women initially passed the screening
and combat training requirements, using an adjusted physical fitness
scale.Another ongoing IDF pilot is testing the integration of women into
combat mobility units in the Ground Forces. Each infantry battalion
currently has mobility platoons, usually composed of regular infantry
soldiers who receive additional training in operational driving on
Hummers and/or ATVs.The primary mission of the mobility unit is to
deliver heavy supplies to forces operating in enemy territory – water,
food, ammunition, mortars, missiles, and more. Other tasks include
evacuating wounded soldiers under fire or transporting equipment between
company commanders or from company commanders to battalion commanders,
also under fire.This pilot began recently and includes about 30 female
combat soldiers recruited as a cohesive platoon. They are in advanced
training at the Paratroopers Brigade training base, Camp Eitan, near
Kibbutz Shomria.According to Barabi, their training course is identical
to that of male combat soldiers. The IDF decided to keep the women as a
separate gender-segregated platoon within the brigade training base and
not to integrate them into mixed-gender units with male combat
soldiers.A further pilot program expected to open to female combat
soldiers in the 2025 recruitment cycle is in Unit 504 – the unit
responsible for recruiting agents in enemy territory and interrogating
prisoners, both in the field and in IDF facilities. Unit 504 belongs to
the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate, which has the highest number of
women serving in general intelligence roles.Enough pilot programs; let
the women fly-MK Merav Michaeli of the Labor party accused the military
of using the pilot program system as a tool to delay integrating women
into combat roles.“I don’t see other parts of the population being
placed under various pilot programs,” she said. “Just let them be
assessed according to the ‘right person for the right role’ policy and
put an end to all these pilots.”One of the more contentious issues
raised in the discussion, in the Knesset’s Subcommittee on Human
Resources of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, was the IDF’s
decision to allow religious female soldiers to serve in combat roles
within “gendered platoons,” similar to the arrangements offered to
religious male soldiers who do not want to serve alongside female
combatants.For example, the IDF is expected to soon open up for women a
gender-segregated combat platoon in the Combat Intelligence Collection
Array — part of the Border Defense Corps — likely within the Eitam
Battalion, which monitors the Egypt and Jordan border in southern
Israel, and another such platoon within one of the Aerial Defense
Array’s Iron Dome battalions.Michaeli sees the IDF’s allowing of
sex-segregated units for religious soldiers as a dangerous path that
could undermine the army’s operational goals.“Dividing units by gender
or sex does not stem from operational needs but from political
considerations,” she said. “You described a phenomenon of ultra-Orthodox
soldiers who don’t want to serve in artillery units because they’d have
to serve alongside female combatants. This is a dangerous approach for
the IDF. The great concern is that gender segregation will expand, and
ultimately this will harm the IDF – and will harm women.”Similar dropout
rate-Asked about the dropout rate of female combat soldiers from their
training tracks, Barabi noted that in the Border Defense Corps the
dropout rate among women is 15%, compared to 14% among men. “There is no
major difference between the genders,” she said, “and the rates of
leaving combat roles are similar across all units.”Also participating in
the discussion was Ofra Ash, CEO of the Deborah Forum, which promotes
women in national security and foreign policy, who pointed out that
there is still a lack of women in senior command roles in the IDF.“Until
there are women at the General Staff Forum – women who rose through the
combat and operational ranks – we cannot say that progress has been
made,” she said.Currently, there are only two female generals serving in
the General Staff Forum, both legal officers.Taking pressure off the
reserves-At a follow-up discussion in the Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee on May 8, the IDF’s Tayeb emphasized that “every new regular
mixed-gender battalion – male and female – presents immense potential to
reduce dependence on the reserves.”Tayeb explained that a single
regular battalion – for example, a mixed-gender battalion in the Border
Defense Corps or the Search and Rescue Brigade – is equivalent in
operational output to about seven reserve battalions.However, if there
is one statistic that indicates the growth in the number of women
serving in significant roles in the IDF, it is the percentage of women
currently serving in the reserves.During the Second Lebanon War in 2006,
women made up only 3% of reservists. By Operation Protective Edge in
2014, that figure had risen to 8%, and in the October 7 war, the
proportion of women in the reserves surged to 20%.On a general IDF
level, he said, 90% of all IDF roles are currently open to women.Tayeb
revealed that of female candidates for military service, 37% identify as
religious – either ultra-Orthodox or national-religious. Additionally,
25% of enlisted women are assigned to units in which the mandatory
service period is 32 months, the same as for men. These units include
the combat forces as well as some intelligence units.During the
discussion, MK Simcha Rothman from the Religious Zionism party asked how
the sharp increase in the number of women – particularly religious ones
– joining combat roles occurred organically, without any special
measures taken by the IDF. This, Rothman noted, contrasted with the
IDF’s considerable logistical and financial investment in recruiting
ultra-Orthodox men, which has not yielded similar results.Three female
MKs — Michaeli, Sharon Nir, and Efrat Rayten — told Rothman that women’s
motivation stemmed from watching their brothers and friends enlist, and
from a desire to take an equal part. In fact, in many cases, they said,
the women’s families did not support their decision to choose combat
service.The female MKs said that in the case of women’s enlistment, the
IDF did not run any special recruitment campaigns – the demand for
meaningful service arose from the ground up.
Rubio warns Syria
could be weeks away from civil war, ‘country splitting up’Noting
outreach to new Syrian regime, top US diplomat says it would be an
‘extraordinary achievement for Israel’s security’ if Syria is not a
‘launchpad for attacks’By Shaun Tandon Today, 6:49 am-MAY 21,25
WASHINGTON
(AFP) — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Tuesday that Syria
could be weeks away from a fresh civil war of “epic proportions,” as he
called for support to the transitional leadership.The top American
diplomat blamed a resurgence of the Islamic State extremist group in
areas outside of the transitional government’s control, as well as
Iran.He told a US Senate hearing that the government, “given the
challenges they’re facing, are maybe weeks — not many months — away from
potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions,
basically the country splitting up.”Rubio spoke after a series of bloody
attacks on the Alawite and Druze minorities in Syria, where
Islamist-led fighters in December toppled then-president Bashar
al-Assad, capping a brutal civil war that began in 2011.US President
Donald Trump last week on a visit to Saudi Arabia announced a lifting of
Assad-era sanctions and met with the guerrilla leader who is now
Syria’s transitional president, Ahmed al-Sharaa.Sharaa, clad in a suit
and complimented by Trump as a “young, attractive guy,” was until
recently on a US wanted list over jihadist connections.Rubio quipped:
“The transitional authority figures, they didn’t pass their background
check with the FBI.”But he added: “If we engage them, it may work out,
it may not work out. If we did not engage them, it was guaranteed to not
work out.”Rubio, who also met with Syria’s foreign minister in Turkey
on Thursday, said Iran was looking to work with remnants of the fallen
ally Assad, a largely secular leader who hailed from the Alawite
sect.Rubio acknowledged concerns about Syria’s direction in Israel,
which has kept pounding military sites in the neighboring country.But
Rubio, who has spoken twice in recent days to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, said a more stable Syria that did not serve as a “launchpad
for attacks” would be an “extraordinary achievement for Israel’s
security.”EU ends sanctions-European Union countries, which had already
suspended economic sanctions on Syria, gave the green light on Tuesday
to lift all restrictions.“We want to help the Syrian people rebuild a
new, inclusive and peaceful Syria,” top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas wrote on
X after the bloc’s foreign ministers met in Brussels.EU diplomats said
that move would unfreeze central bank assets and help reintegrate Syrian
banks to the global system, although sanctions would remain on
individuals over stirring ethnic tensions.Syria’s foreign ministry
hailed the EU decision, saying it marked “the beginning of a new chapter
in Syrian-European relations built on shared prosperity and mutual
respect.”Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, welcoming his
Jordanian counterpart to Damascus, said at a joint news conference that
“the doors are open” for investment in Syria with the lifting of
sanctions.The United States had previously insisted on key steps from
Syria’s transitional authorities, including protection of
minorities.Trump’s move on Syria was encouraged by Turkey — the main
patron of the Islamist fighters who had battled Assad, an ally of Iran
and Russia — and Sunni regional power Saudi Arabia.“The nations in the
region want to get aid in, want to start helping them, and they can’t
because they’re afraid of our sanctions,” Rubio said.Rubio has said
Trump plans to waive the Caesar Act, which imposed sanctions for
investment on Syria in an effort to ensure accountability regarding
abuses under Assad.But such waivers would be temporary, and Syria
remains classified by the US as a state sponsor of terrorism, a major
impediment to business dealings.Rubio, asked if the administration
sought to delist Syria from its terrorism blacklist, replied: “Yes, if
they meet the standard.”

Leo XIV appeals for Gaza: 'Allow aid to enter, end the hostilities'Pope
Leo XIV renews his appeal for "dignified humanitarian aid" to enter
Gaza, calling for a cessation of hostilities "whose price is paid by
children, the elderly, and the sick."By Deborah Castellano Lubov
"I
renew my appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to
put an end to the hostilities, whose heartbreaking price is paid by the
children, elderly, and the sick."Pope Leo XIV made that appeal toward
the conclusion of his first General Audience in St. Peter's Square on 21
May.In his remarks to Italian pilgrims, he said, "The situation in the
Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful."The humanitarian
emergency in Gaza is at a breaking point, according to international
organizations. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC),
supported by the UN, is warning of an imminent famine.
According
to aid agencies, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified as
Israeli airstrikes on May 20 resulted in many Palestinian deaths,
including children, amid ongoing military operations that have killed
tens of thousands of people since October 2023.
Despite Israel
permitting a limited number of aid trucks into Gaza, international
criticism has mounted, with calls for Israel to halt its military
campaign and ease aid restrictions.
Moreover, the United Nations has expressed concern for the unprecedented destruction of housing in Gaza.

Leo makes ‘heartfelt appeal’ for Israel to allow humanitarian aid into
Gaza-Pontiff cites ‘painful’ situation in Palestinian enclave during his
first weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square, reportedly doesn’t
mention hostages-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 2:01 pm-MAY 21,25
Pope
Leo XIV on Wednesday appealed for Israel to allow humanitarian aid to
enter Gaza, calling the situation in the Palestinian enclave “yet more
worrying and painful.”“I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of
sufficient humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities, the
heartbreaking price of which is paid by children, the elderly, the
sick,” the pope said during his first weekly general audience in St.
Peter’s Square.He was not reported to have mentioned the hostages held
by terror groups in Gaza, who were abducted from Israel during the
Hamas-led attack that triggered the war in the Palestinian enclave.Leo,
who was elected on May 8 to be the Catholic Church’s first pope from the
US, has made peace a theme of his papacy so far, calling for a
ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.In his first Sunday message on May 11,
the new pope called for an immediate ceasefire and for the release of
all Israeli hostages held by the Palestinian terror group Hamas, which
led a devastating invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023.Over
5,000 terrorists burst into the country from the Gaza Strip, killing
1,200 people, mostly civilians. The attackers also abducted 251 people
as hostages to Gaza, where dozens remain.Israel responded with a
military campaign to destroy Hamas, topple its Gaza regime, and free the
hostages.It has come under massive international pressure to abandon
its campaign, which intensified over the weekend, and allow urgent
humanitarian aid into the besieged strip.Israel had blocked all aid from
entering Gaza since March 2, arguing that sufficient humanitarian
assistance had entered the Strip during a six-week ceasefire and that
Hamas was stealing aid, with the blockade necessary to pressure the
terror group to release the dozens of hostages it is holding.In recent
weeks, however, some officials in the Israel Defense Forces have begun
warning the political leadership that the enclave was on the brink of
starvation.Israel said on Monday that it would allow aid to enter Gaza,
ending the 11-week blockade on the enclave. The United Nations received
permission from Israel for 93 aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip on
Tuesday.Aid groups say that the amount being allowed in is not enough to
meet needs.UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have reported on
increasing rates of malnutrition in Gaza and warned of an impending
humanitarian disaster unless large amounts of aid are brought into the
territoryOn Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his
government had paused free trade talks with Israel and summoned the
Israeli ambassador over the situation in Gaza.
General Audience,
21.05.2025-This morning’s General Audience took place at 10.00 in the
Paul VI Hall, where the Holy Father Leo XIV met with groups of pilgrims
and faithful from Italy and all over the world.In his address in
Italian, the Pope resumed the cycle of catechesis to continue throughout
the entire Jubilee Year, “Jesus Christ our hope”, focusing on the
theme: “The sower. He spoke to them at length in parables (Mt
13:3a)”.After summarizing his catechesis in various languages, the Holy
Father addressed special greetings to the faithful present. He then made
an appeal for the situation in the Gaza Strip.The General Audience
concluded with the recitation of the Pater Noster and the Apostolic
Blessing.Catechesis of the Holy Father-Dear brothers and sisters,I am
pleased to welcome you in this, my first general Audience. Today I will
resume the cycle of Jubilee catecheses, on the theme “Jesus Christ Our
Hope”, initiated by Pope Francis.Let us continue today to meditate on
the parables of Jesus, which help us to regain hope, because they show
us how God works in history. Today I would like to dwell on a parable
which is somewhat peculiar, because it is a sort of introduction to all
the parables. I refer to that of the sower (cf. Mt 13:1-17). In a
certain sense, in this account we can recognize Jesus’ way of
communicating, which has a great deal to teach us for proclaiming the
Gospel today.Every parable tells a story that is taken from everyday
life, yet wants to tell us something more, to refer us to a deeper
meaning. The parable raises questions in us; it invites us not to stop
at appearances. Before the story that is told or the image that is
presented to me, I can ask myself: where am I in this story? What does
this image say to my life? In fact, the term “parable” comes from the
Greek verb paraballein, which means to throw in front of. The parable
throws before me a word that provokes me and prompts me to question
myself.The parable of the sower talks precisely about the dynamic of the
word of God and the effects it produces. Indeed, every word of the
Gospel is like a seed that is thrown on the ground of our life. Jesus
uses the image of the seed many times, with different meanings. In
chapter 13 of the Gospel of Matthew, the parable of the sower introduces
a series of other short parables, some of which talk precisely about
what is happening on the terrain: the wheat and the weeds, the mustard
seed, the treasure hidden in the field. What, then, is this soil? It is
our heart, but it is also the world, the community, the Church. The word
of God, in fact, makes fruitful and provokes every reality.At the
beginning, we see Jesus who leaves the house and gathers a great crowd
around him (cf. Mt 13:1). His word fascinates and intrigues. Among the
people there are obviously many different situations. The word of Jesus
is for everyone, but it works in each person in a different way. This
context allows us to understand better the meaning of the parable.A
rather unusual sower goes out to sow, but does not care where the seed
falls. He throws the seeds even where it is unlikely they will bear
fruit: on the path, on the rocks, among the thorns. This attitude
surprises the listener and induces him to ask: how come? We are used to
calculating things – and at times it is necessary – but this does not
apply in love! The way in which this “wasteful” sower throws the seed is
an image of the way God loves us. Indeed, it is true that the destiny
of the seed depends also on the way in which the earth welcomes it and
the situation in which it finds itself, but first and foremost in this
parable Jesus tells us that God throws the seed of his Word on all kinds
of soil, that is, in any situation of ours: at times we are more
superficial and distracted, at times we let ourselves get carried away
by enthusiasm, sometimes we are burdened by life’s worries, but there
are also times when we are willing and welcoming. God is confident and
hopes that sooner or later the seed will blossom. This is how he loves
us: he does not wait for us to become the best soil, but he always
generously gives us his word. Perhaps by seeing that he trusts us, the
desire to be better soil will be kindled in us. This is hope, founded on
the rock of God’s generosity and mercy.In telling the way in which the
seed bears fruit, Jesus is also talking about his life. Jesus is the
Word, he is the Seed. And the seed, to bear fruit, must die. Thus, this
parable tells us that God is ready to “waste away” for us and that Jesus
is willing to die in order to transform our life.I have in mind that
beautiful painting by Van Gogh, The sower at sunset. That image of the
sower in the blazing sun also speaks to me of the farmer’s toil. And it
strikes me that, behind the sower, Van Gogh depicted the grain already
ripe. It seems to me an image of hope: one way or another, the seed has
borne fruit. We are not sure how, but it has. At the centre of the
scene, however, is not the sower, who stands to the side; instead, the
whole painting is dominated by the image of the sun, perhaps to remind
us that it is God who moves history, even if he sometimes seems absent
or distant. It is the sun that warms the clods of earth and makes the
seed ripen.Dear brothers and sisters, in what situation of life today is
the Word of God reaching us? Let us ask the Lord for the grace always
to welcome this seed that is his Word. And if we realize we are not a
fruitful soil, let us not be discouraged, but let us ask him to work on
us more to make us become a better terrain.Greeting in English-I welcome
the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors, especially those from
England, Ireland, Hungary, Norway, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania,
Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, the
Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, Canada, and the United States. I
greet in particular the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Annecy, the
Pallottine Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate, the Daughters
of Saint Jerome Emiliani, the Couples For Christ group, the pilgrims
from the Diocese of Kerry, and an International group of young
volunteers from Saint Cassian’s Centre. With prayerful good wishes that
the present Jubilee of Hope may be for you and your families a time of
grace and spiritual renewal, I invoke upon you all the joy and peace of
the Lord Jesus.Appeal of the Holy Father-The situation in the Gaza Strip
is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to
allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to put an end to the
hostilities, the heart-rending price of which is being paid by children,
the elderly and the sick.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of
Kings, And Lord Of Lords.(JESUS RETURNG TO EARTH LITERALLY ON A WHITE
HORSE WITH THE RAPTURED CHRISTIANS 7 YEARS EARLIER)
17 And I saw an
angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all
the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men,
and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of

19 And I saw the beast,(E.U WORLD LEADER) and the kings of the
earth, and their armies,(HERE IT SAYS THE E.U WILL HAVE ITS OWN ARMY)
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, (JESUS)
and against his army.(RAPTURED CHRISTIANS)
20 And the beast (E.U
WORLD LEADER) was taken, and with him the false prophet (POPE FRANCIS)
that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had
received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were
filled with their flesh.
Zephaniah 2:1-15
1 Gather together, yes, gather,O shameless nation,
2
before the decree takes effect[a] -before the day passes away like
chaff—before there comes upon you the burning anger of the Lord, before
there comes upon you the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 Seek the
Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands;[b] seek
righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of
the anger of the Lord.
4 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon
shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon,
and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to you inhabitants of the
seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against
you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no
inhabitant is left.
6 And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows[c] for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7
The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of
Judah, on which they shall graze, and in the houses of Ashkelon they
shall lie down at evening. For the Lord their God will be mindful of
them and restore their fortunes.
8 “I have heard the taunts of Moab
(JORDAN) and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted my
people and made boasts against their territory.
9 Therefore, as I
live,” declares the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall become
like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a land possessed by nettles
and salt pits, and a waste forever.The remnant of my people shall
plunder them, and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11
The Lord will be awesome against them; for he will famish all the gods
of the earth, and to him shall bow down, each in its place, all the
lands of the nations.
12 You also, O Cushites, shall be slain by my sword.
13
And he will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy
Assyria,(SYRIA) and he will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like
the desert.
14 Herds shall lie down in her midst, all kinds of
beasts;[d] even the owl and the hedgehog[e] shall lodge in her
capitals; a voice shall hoot in the window; devastation will be on the
threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the
exultant city that lived securely, that said in her heart, “I am, and
there is no one else.” What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild
beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.Sa'ar: No

DANIEL 2:37-45
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and
the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made
thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after
thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third
kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And
the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh
in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these,
shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the
feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom
shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron,
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle
themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to
another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of
these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never
be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it
shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of
the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the
brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known
to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is
certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
DANIEL 7:17-26
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from
all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his
nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue
with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of
the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn
that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was
more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of
the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole
earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the
ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and
another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

UK FM says EU defence pact will 'complement' NATO by AFP Staff Writers
London
(AFP) May 19, 2025-UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy suggested Monday
that British troops could complement missions in the Western Balkans as
part of a new defence and security pact signed with the EU.Britain inked
a new deal with the bloc at a landmark summit in central London that
marks a new chapter in UK-EU relations since Brexit on January 31,
2020.The defence part of the agreement will allow British
representatives to attend certain EU ministerial meetings and for its
forces to take part in European military exercises and missions.Asked
for concrete examples, Lammy told AFP and a small group of European
media outlets that he had visited Serbia, Kosovo, and Bosnia, and "there
are concerns about the undermining of the Dayton Accords"."We want to
work closely with our European partners there," he said.Lammy added that
British soldiers were already "making a difference" in the Nato-led
Kosovo Force (KFOR) peacekeeping missions."I think that it's hugely
important that we are able to complement NATO," he said.Lammy added it
was "good" that the defence pact "opens a pathway" for British firms to
tap into a 150-billion-euro ($168-billion) EU fund, currently under
negotiation among the 27 member states.An additional agreement still
needs to be made, along with a financial contribution from London."We
intend to get going quickly on this and hope that we can work this out
in a matter of weeks," Lammy said of the next steps.UK Prime Minister
Keir Starmer's new agreement with Brussels also saw the two sides also
agree to lift controls imposed on UK food and plant exports to the
27-country bloc.That was agreed in exchange for Britain extending EU
fishing rights in British waters, due to expire in 2026, for a further
12 years.Lammy dismissed claims by the UK's opposition Conservative
party that the deal meant Labour had "betrayed Brexit and Britain"."My
sense is always that the British people have moved on," Lammy said."I
will let those in our political system who want to rehearse the fights
of the past, they can do that."But in the end, we must be pragmatic on
behalf of the British people, and this is a deal that delivers
prosperity, security, fundamentally and is good for growth," he added.
Is NATO set to agree spending 5% of GDP on defence? Not quite.
Brussels,
Belgium (AFP) May 19, 2025 - NATO countries look on course to agree a
deal on ramping up their defence spending target at a summit in The
Hague next month in a bid to satisfy US President Donald Trump.The
volatile leader has been pressuring allies to spend five percent of
their GDP on defence -- a level none of NATO's 32 members, including the
United States, currently hit.To make him happy, alliance chief Mark
Rutte has floated a proposal for 3.5 percent of GDP on direct defence
spending by 2032, and 1.5 percent of broader security-related
expenditures.That should give Trump the chance to claim a win by
reaching his headline figure of five percent.But the reality is that not
all of that may need to be new spending.- What's the real increase?The
current minimum agreed by NATO's countries for defence spending is two
percent of GDP.Under the compromise being hatched for The Hague, that
amount should rise to 3.5 percent and be devoted to direct military
spending -- such as troops and weaponry.That is roughly the amount NATO
estimates needs to be spent by countries to be able to counter Russia in
the coming years.To pad that out further, for the first time the
alliance could then count things such as infrastructure spending, cyber
protection, border security -- and even support for Ukraine.That would
make up the additional 1.5 percent, taking the overall figure to five
percent.NATO diplomats say that much of that broader spending is likely
already on the books and filling it out would just be a matter of
redefining it in their budgets."We have to make sure that we not only
concentrate on the core defence spending, but also making sure that we
do these defence related investments," Rutte said.To ensure countries
stick to the plan, which hasn't been made public, diplomats say Rutte
has proposed a 0.2 percentage point annual increase on the direct
military spending.- Implications for each country? -For some countries
-- such as Poland and the Baltics on NATO's eastern flank -- the new
3.5-percent target would actually be lower than what they're already
planning to spend.Worried by the threat from Russia, they're already
planning to dedicate five percent of their GDP to core military spending
from next year.The United States wouldn't have far to go to reach the
new target as it already spent 3.19 percent of its GDP on its military
last year.For others it will be a bigger leap.-European heavyweights
France and Germany are only just hovering over the two percent target
and a raft of stragglers such as Italy, Spain, Canada and Belgium are
still reaching that level this year.- Is everyone on board? Rutte's
compromise deal received backing from Germany and France at a meeting of
NATO foreign ministers in Turkey last week.Berlin's top diplomat Johann
Wadephul said the plan would meet Trump's five percent demand -- and
that Germany was willing to "follow" the US lead.French Foreign Minister
Jean-Noel Barrot also gave the greenlight to the 3.5 percent
number.Elsewhere there was little public dissent from other NATO
members.Even those who have struggled to reach two percent seemed open
to the deal -- with Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani welcoming
counting broader security spending.- And the United States? -Even though
it doesn't necessarily satisfy Trump's original demand, Washington
supports the compromise widening out the parameters to reach five
percent.US NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker said the Hague investment
plan wouldn't cover "just missiles, tanks and howitzers".But he warned
that the broader "defence-related" spending should not just be "a grab
bag for everything that you could possibly imagine".- What's left to
agree? While allies seem generally to accept the contours of the new
plan -- there is still some haggling to be done in the weeks before The
Hague summit.Diplomats say sensitive areas will include hammering out
exactly what can and can't be included in the 1.5 percent.On top of that
some countries are pushing for the 2032 timeline to be extended beyond
the seven years currently on the table and annual targets to be eased.
EU finalises 150-bn-euro loan scheme to rearm by AFP Staff Writers.
Brussels,
Belgium (AFP) May 19, 2025-EU countries have finalised a plan for a
150-billion-euro loan programme to help rearm in the face of Russia and
worries over US reliability, diplomats said Monday.The SAFE borrowing
scheme backed by the EU's central budget was proposed by Brussels in
March as the bloc rushes to boost its defences.Member states haggled
over what the money could be spent on and how countries outside the EU
can access the funds for weeks before agreeing a final text late Sunday,
diplomats said.In the end, the agreement stuck to the original proposal
allowing 35 percent of the value of the weapons to come from
manufacturers beyond the bloc and Ukraine.The finalisation comes as the
EU and the UK agree a new defence partnership as part of a post-Brexit
"reset" at a London summit.London would still need to strike a separate
deal with the EU if it wants to fully open the new scheme to the British
defence industry.The EU text still needs to be formally signed off by
the bloc and approval should come when Europe ministers meet in Brussels
on May 27.The borrowing programme is part of a package of measures
including loosening budget rules that Brussels says could unlock 800
billion euros of defence spending.
NATO to open new air command in Norway's far north-by AFP Staff Writers.
Oslo
(AFP) May 20, 2025-Norway announced Tuesday it had designated the small
town of Bodo, north of the Arctic Circle, to permanently host a NATO
air operations control centre.The announcement from the Norwegian
government comes as neighbouring Russia is seeking to assert its power
in the Arctic by modernising old bases and establishing new ones.During a
ministerial meeting in February, NATO countries agreed to establish the
alliance's third European Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) in
Norway, leaving Oslo to decide its exact location.The choice was between
Bodo, which is already home to the Norwegian Joint Headquarters, and
Rygge in the southeast of the country."We want NATO to have a foothold
in the North," Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store told
broadcaster TV2.No date was announced for the opening of the new command
centre, which will be tasked with coordinating air surveillance as well
as planning and executing NATO military air operations in the
region.The military alliance already has two such command centres in
Europe, one in Germany, the other in Spain.
