their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and

Turban complications-The turban represents the Shi'ite
clergy that, ever since its creation in Iran almost four centuries ago,
has had an ambivalent attitude towards the exercise of political power.
Broadly speaking, turbans come in two contrasting colors. A white
turban means that the man who wears it is not a descendant of the
Prophet, and thus is of non-Arab origin. In contrast, the wearer of the
black turban is marked as a descendant of the Prophet through one of the
twelve imams of Twelver Shi'ism.The semiology of turbans is still more
complicated. Students of theology are allowed to wear very thin turbans,
denoting their position as novices. A hujjat al-Islam, or mid-ranking
mullah, can wear a slightly fatter turban. The very fat turbans that
require several yards of cloth are reserved for the grand ayatollahs.
Rafsanjani’s white turban marked him as someone of non-Arab origin.
Khatami and Khamenei both wear black turbans, as did Khomeini, denoting
their Arab descent on the paternal side.The experience of the past three
decades shows that many of the most senior clerics are not eager to
enter the realm of politics. Once in power, however, a man with a thin
turban could quickly thicken his headgear and grow a longer beard to
bolster the religious aspect of his image. When first elected president,
Ayatollah Khamenei was not a particularly senior cleric, but was
promoted so that he could succeed Ayatollah Khomeini.

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam

35
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of
Elam,(IRAN) the chief of their might.(IRAN SUPLIES ARABS WITH WEAPONS

from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those
winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam (IRAN)
shall not come.(WORLD MIGRATION)

be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life:
and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger,(REG BOMBS) saith
the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed
them:(GROUND TROOPS)
38 And I will set my throne in Elam,(IRAN) and
will destroy from thence the king (KHEMEINI )and the princes,(IRANIAN
GUARDS) saith the LORD.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam,(IRAN) saith the LORD.

3
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of
holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
US
transit secretary grilled for rehanging Jesus painting at Merchant
Marine Academy-Entitled ‘Christ on the Water,’ painting had been moved
to the academy’s chapel following a complaint from Jewish midshipmen By
Ron Kampeas Today, 1:22 am-JUL 18,25
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jesus is
rising, again, at the US Merchant Marine Academy.US President Donald
Trump’s transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, is returning a massive
painting of Jesus to its former place of prominence at the academy. The
artwork was removed two years ago following a request from Jewish
midshipmen and others.The restoration drew attention on Wednesday in
Congress, where Rep. Jared Huffman, a California Democrat, grilled Duffy
over why he authorized the return of the 10-foot-by-19-foot painting,
“Christ on the Water,” also known as “Jesus and Lifeboat,” to a large
administrative room at the academy on Long Island, New York.The room is
used for multiple purposes, including mandatory disciplinary hearings.
The academy is under the purview of the Department of
Transportation.“What kind of message do you think that sends the cadets
who may not be Christian, may not be religious, or might be part of a
Christian sect that objects to the kind of portrait that you’ve placed
in that position of prominence?” Huffman asked Duffy at a hearing of
Congress’ Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.Duffy said he
rescued the painting, which depicts Jesus hovering over a lifeboat full
of stranded sailors, from the basement of the building, which he claimed
was prone to flooding. The painting was undergoing restoration pending
its return, Duffy said.Huffman noted that the basement room where the
painting had been moved was the chapel, part of the resolution to a 2023
complaint filed by 18 academy midshipmen, including five Jews. There
are approximately 950 cadets at the academy.Duffy said the painting
should not offend Jews or other non-Christians.“We all accept everyone’s
religion,” he said. He noted that the painting had, prior to the 2023
complaint and the subsequent compromise, hung in the large
administrative room, named for Elliot M. See, for decades.When the
painting was first installed in 1947, the See room served as the
academy’s chapel. The painting remained in the room after the campus
chapel moved elsewhere in 1961.The midshipmen who filed the complaint in
2023 said that the prominence of Jesus in the room used for
disciplinary hearings exacerbated what was already a fraught experience
of defending oneself against allegations of breaching the honor
code.Duffy, a devout Roman Catholic and formerly a star of multiple
reality TV series, addressed the academy in April, and elicited cheers
when he asked, “Could we bring Jesus up from the basement?” He announced
the painting’s planned return in May, amid a series of moves within the
Trump administration to elevate Christianity in Washington.“We are
moving Jesus out of the basement,” he said in a release then.The
Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the advocacy group that brokered
the 2023 compromise, said it would sue to once again remove the painting
from the See room.“MRFF is already hard at work in an effort to file a
federal lawsuit, forcing the removal of that painting once again to a
location at the Academy, which is constitutionally permissible as to
time, place and manner,” the foundation’s president, Mikey Weinstein,
told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Addressing Duffy, Weinstein said,
“We look SO forward to seeing you in court.”Weinstein obtained the
proposed text for a plaque to be placed beneath the painting once it is
restored. The text, which Weinstein shared with JTA, appears to nod in
its final sentence to non-Christian sensibilities.“This painting has
taken on historical significance and become a part of the Academy’s
community, imparting varying meanings for different members of the
Academy’s community,” it says.Weinstein mocked the vagueness of the
plaque’s phrasing. “We especially look forward to taking your
deposition,” he said, addressing Duffy, “and directly examining you on
the witness stand during the trial where you can expand and extrapolate
on the ‘varying meanings’ of a gigantic painting, showing Jesus Christ
to the exclusion of any other God or non-God deity figure in support of
sailors in distress at sea.”
Netanyahu vows no Syrian forces
south of Damascus, as Bedouins, Druze fight despite truce-Bedouin
commander says ceasefire only applies to Damascus government, declares
offensive with aim to free Bedouins held by Druze, after regime’s
retreat during IDF strikes By Lazar Berman,Nurit Yohanan,Emanuel
Fabian,Charlie Summers and Agencies 17 July 2025, 11:13 pm
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel will continue to
use military means to enforce its two red lines in Syria — the
demilitarization of the area south of Damascus, near Israel’s border,
and the protection of the country’s Druze minority there.Netanyahu said
the Damascus regime, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, violated both
those red lines in recent days.“It sent an army south of Damascus, into
the area that should be demilitarized, and it began to massacre the
Druze. We could not accept this in any way,” he said in a video
statement.The premier added that the ceasefire Sharaa announced in
southern Syria’s Druze-majority Sweida province, which included the
withdrawal of regime troops, “was achieved through force. Not through
requests, not through pleas — through force.”“We acted, and we will
continue to act as necessary,” Netanyahu promised.Israel attacked
military facilities and operatives of the Syrian regime on Wednesday,
demanding that regime troops withdraw from Sweida, to which they had
deployed during sectarian fighting between Druze and Bedouins, which are
reported to have initially broken out after a Druze vegetable vendor
was assaulted by Bedouin gunmen on Sunday.Israel’s own Druze community
had demanded that Jerusalem act to protect their brethren across the
border, as videos emerged from Sweida showing regime forces shaving
Druze clerics’ mustaches, as well as stepping on Druze flags and
pictures of religious clerics. Other videos showed Druze fighters
beating captured government forces and posing by their bodies.After the
Israeli strikes on Wednesday, the Syrian army withdrew, saying it had
reached a ceasefire with local Druze forces, and Sharaa vowed to protect
the minority group — though some Druze factions said they rejected the
arrangement.But even in the wake of the truce, there were reports of
renewed fighting, with both sides blaming the other.A Bedouin military
commander in Syria told Reuters that Bedouin fighters had launched a new
offensive in Sweida against local Druze fighters, despite the
ceasefire.The commander said the truce in Sweida only applied to
government forces, and that the Bedouin fighters are seeking to free
Bedouins detained by Druze armed groups in recent days.However, Syrian
state media claimed that Druze groups in Sweida were carrying out
massacres against local Bedouins.The Syrian state news agency published
footage of displaced Bedouins fleeing the area and reporting that Druze
had massacred civilians in the Al-Maqwas neighborhood.In a statement,
the Syrian presidency accuses “outlaw forces” — the term the government
uses to refer to Druze factions in Sweida — of violating the agreement
by engaging in “horrific violence” against civilians including “crimes
that completely contravene the obligations of mediation, directly
threaten civil peace, and push towards chaos and security collapse.”The
presidency also warned against “continued blatant Israeli interference
in Syria’s internal affairs, which only leads to further chaos and
destruction and further complicates the regional situation.”Late
Thursday, Syrian state media reported Israeli strikes near Sweida, the
first to target the area after Syrian government forces withdrew.US,
France call for calm; Turkey’s Erdogan rails against Israel-The White
House said Thursday that de-escalation of the conflict in Syria seems to
be continuing. Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters the US is
“very actively monitoring the situation.”A State Department official,
who requested anonymity, told Reuters that there is no change in US
policy toward Syria, but that “all parties must step back and engage in
meaningful dialogue that leads to a lasting ceasefire.”“The government
must investigate all reports of abuse and hold the perpetrators
accountable,” the official added.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said
late Wednesday that the US had engaged all parties and steps had been
agreed to end “this troubling and horrifying situation.”The French
foreign ministry said Thursday it called for the ceasefire in Sweida to
be respected, for a probe into actions against minorities, and for
Israel to stop unilateral action.French foreign minister Jean-Noel
Barrot has held talks in recent days with his Syrian and Israeli
counterparts over the issue, the ministry said in a statement.Meanwhile,
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office said that “Israel,
using the Druze as an excuse, has been expanding its banditry into
neighboring Syria over the past two days.”“I want to state this once
again, clearly and directly: Israel is a lawless, unruly, unprincipled,
spoiled, pampered, and greedy terrorist state,” Erdogan said in a
televised speech after his weekly cabinet meeting.“At this stage, the
biggest problem in our region is Israel’s aggression… If the monster is
not stopped immediately, it will not hesitate to throw first our region,
then the world, into flames,” he added.Turkey backed the Islamist Hayat
Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group led by Syria’s new president — who
previously went by the nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani — even
before the group toppled longtime Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in
December, taking over the state.IDF: We were unprepared as Israeli Druze
ran across border-In a press conference Thursday evening, Israel
Defense Forces Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defri acknowledged that the
IDF had been unprepared to handle the chaos on the Syrian border in
recent days, during the Sweida conflict.Around 1,000 Druze crossed from
Israel into Syria, and dozens of Syrian Druze entered Israel, at the
time of the fighting — leading several Druze Israeli lawmakers to
themselves enter Syria to call on Israeli Druze to return to
Israel.Defrei said the IDF “were not prepared for thousands of Israeli
citizens who reached the border and tried to pass it,” adding: “We are
learning lessons.”Police said they arrested two Druze Israelis at the
Syrian border on Thursday morning, as they tried to reenter Israeli
territory with a Kalashnikov rifle.The two young men — ages 18 and 20,
from the villages of Kisra and Beit Jann — crossed into Syria on
Wednesday, seeking to rescue their coreligionists from the Bedouin and
Syrian regime forces.Police said that they patched up breaches on the
Israel-Syria border and are currently working with local Druze leaders
to facilitate the return of Israelis who crossed into Syria, and vice
versa.“Northern District officers, together with Border Police forces
and other units, have been operating since yesterday in coordination
with the IDF in response to recent events in the Golan Heights,” said a
police spokesman.Police detained the two young men for questioning,
seizing the rifle and magazine, and will request an extension on their
remand in court, the spokesman continued.Syrian President Ahmed
al-Sharaa’s interim government has had troubled relations with ethnic
and religious minority groups since it came to power in December.March
saw massacres of more than 1,700 mostly Alawite civilians in their hub
on the Mediterranean coast, with government-affiliated groups blamed for
most of the killings.Government forces also battled Druze fighters in
Sweida province and near Damascus in April and May, leaving more than
100 people dead.Israel, which is home to around 150,000 Druze, many of
whom serve in the IDF, has repeatedly stated its intention to defend
Syria’s Druze community.The IDF, which has taken control of the
UN-monitored demilitarized zone on the Golan Heights and conducted
hundreds of strikes on military targets in Syria, also says it will not
allow any Syrian military presence in the south.Despite having initiated
contact with a first face-to-face meeting in Azerbaijan earlier this
month, Israel remains extremely wary of Syria’s new rulers, including
Sharaa, whose Hayat Tahrir al-Sham movement was once linked to
al-Qaeda.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
In EU
first, Slovenia to ban Ben Gvir and Smotrich over ‘genocidal
statements’The Slovenian government has called Gaza war ‘genocide’ and
says far-right Israeli ministers incite ‘extreme violence and serious
violations of the human rights of Palestinians’By Agencies and ToI Staff
17 July 2025, 11:51 pm
Slovenia announced on Thursday that it
will ban two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country, in
what authorities said was a first in the European Union.National
Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich
will be declared “persona non grata,” the Slovenian government said in a
statement, accusing them of inciting “extreme violence and serious
violations of the human rights of Palestinians” with “their genocidal
statements.”In June, Australia, Canada, Britain, New Zealand, and Norway
imposed similar sanctions on Smotrich and Ben Gvir, key coalition
partners in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.“This is the
first measure of this nature in the EU,” Slovenia’s Foreign Minister
Tanja Fajon said of the ban.Ben Gvir, who chairs the Otzma Yehudit
party, and Smotrich, who chairs Religious Zionism, have drawn
international criticism for their hard-line stances on the Gaza war, as
well as their comments on, and policies in, the West Bank.Both men have
suggested that Israel should block all humanitarian aid into Gaza as
long as the Hamas terror group still holds Israeli hostages — though
Smotrich has endorsed some aid entry as a concession to international
politics — and both have endorsed a return of Israeli settlement in the
Strip at the conclusion of the ongoing war.In the West Bank — over which
they have some power — Ben Gvir, who oversees the police, has declined
to arrest violent settlers despite frequent attacks on Palestinians, and
Smotrich has worked to expand settlements and advocate for Israeli
annexation of parts of the territory.On May 21, Slovene President Natasa
Pirc Musar, in an address to the European parliament, urged the EU to
take stronger action against what she called “the genocide” in Gaza, as
Israel fights the Hamas terror group there.In May, Slovenia was among
six European countries to say that they “firmly reject any demographic
or territorial change in Gaza,” after Israel announced plans to expand
its military offensive against the Hamas terror group there.Israel’s
campaign in Gaza came after some 5,000 Hamas-led terrorists invaded
Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251
hostages.Israel’s subsequent offensive — which has killed more than
58,000 people, according to Hamas-controlled authorities, who do not
distinguish between civilians and combatants — has drawn accusations of
war crimes and genocide.Israel has strenuously rejected all such
accusations, insisting that its military fights in accordance with
international law, and has pointed to measures it takes to prevent
civilian casualties, and to allow international aid into the
enclave.Last year, Slovenia announced it was recognizing a Palestinian
state, following in the footsteps of Ireland, Norway and Spain. Nearly
150 countries in total recognize a Palestinian state.Israel has rejected
recognition of Palestinian statehood, however, and has said that
recognition serves as a reward for the October 7 attack.

Houthi blockade, debt-ridden Eilat port seeks aid to help it stay
afloat-Unless plea to Economy Ministry is heeded, southern port could
shut down as soon as Sunday; activity has dived over 90% amid
Iran-backed Yemeni rebels terrorizing Red Sea shipping By Sharon Wrobel
17 July 2025, 10:36 pm
The southern port of Eilat is calling on
the government to help avert imminent closure, with the debt-ridden
seaport on the verge of financial collapse due to the disruption of
maritime trade routes caused by continued attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed
Houthis on ships in the Red Sea.The Eilat port, Israel’s southern
gateway, has been struggling to keep afloat as it lost more than 90
percent of its activities since the Houthis began attacking maritime
traffic a month after the outbreak of war with the Hamas terror group in
October 2023.Faced with huge monthly expenses — municipal taxes and
salary costs — and debt piling up over the past 20 months, while its
main revenue stream has been cut, the port is facing closure as early as
Sunday, putting 170 jobs at risk.“The Eilat port has strategic national
importance to Israel as the country’s southern gateway on the Red Sea
for maritime trade with the Far East, India, and Australia, and
constitutes a significant economic anchor for the city and its
residents,” Eilat port CEO Gideon Golber told The Times of Israel. “The
closure of a strategic seaport in Israel would be a huge international
success for the Houthis that none of our enemies have ever
achieved.”Conversely, “the unloading of ships from the Far East at the
port of Eilat would constitute an image of victory over the Houthis,”
Golber said.Golber emphasized that over the past 20 months, the port’s
management continued to pay its employees’ salaries, despite the lack of
revenue. Port workers earn between NIS 14,000 ($4,165) and NIS 70,000
monthly.While the bulk of Israel’s maritime trade passes through the
ports of Haifa and Ashdod on the Mediterranean, Eilat is a major entry
point for some imports from East Asia, including vehicles from China.
About 50% of vehicle imports enter via the Eilat port. The port is also a
gateway to the Far East for phosphate and potash exports, mainly by
Israeli Chemicals Limited (ICL).For almost two years, ships calling at
the Eilat port have been facing the broader threat of being targeted by
the Houthi terror group in open waters in the Red Sea. The Houthis have
also fired ballistic missiles and drones at the city of Eilat since the
beginning of the Hamas war, many of which were intercepted or missed
their targets. As a result, vessels have been unloading at the ports in
Ashdod and Haifa.Ships bound for Israel and linking to Europe from the
Far East have been diverting to a longer route around the southern tip
of Africa and the Cape of Good Hope, increasing the shipping time of
goods by two to four weeks and raising the costs per vessel.“From the
moment the Houthis seized the NYK cargo vessel [back in November 2023]
and blocked the shipping route around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a
chokepoint at the foot of the commercially vital Red Sea, the activity
of the Eilat port was brought to an near-halt,” said Golber. “All
actions taken by the US and Israel to resolve the situation have so far
failed.”Golber said that as part of a national effort, the port is
currently operating to provide services to the Israeli Navy, but due to
large debts, including to the Eilat municipality, it was decided that it
will have to shut down next week.“This is after even the minimal aid of
NIS 15 million ($4.5 million) that the government promised the port has
not yet been received,” he lamented.The port’s management turned to
Economy Minister Nir Barkat on Thursday with a plea to consider a
national proposal for a solution that will allow the port to continue
functioning, consisting of agreements between car importers from the Far
East, the Eilat management, and the government.The port management
wants Barkat to issue a temporary import order that will require car
importers from the Far East to import vehicles through the Eilat
seaport, as was the case until 2016.In addition, according to the
proposed plan, ships arriving from the Far East will pass through the
Suez Canal, instead of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, to bypass the Houthi
blockade. The cost of a ship’s passage through the Suez Canal is about
$800,000 and would be shared between importers, the Eilat port, and the
government.“The plan is for about 3-4 ships per month, and the cost of
maintaining the functional continuity of the strategic port in the
south, and lifting the naval blockade on Israel, will cost the state
only about $1.5 million per month,” the port administration said. “This
will allow keeping all of the port’s workers and continuing giving
service to the Israeli Navy.”Houthi terrorists in Yemen have been
targeting ships in declared solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza,
where Israel has been waging a war against Hamas since the terrorist
organization’s unprecedented October 7, 2023, attack, in which some
1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
Focus
on replenishing, strengthening air and missile defense-Israel adds
billions to defense spending amid ongoing wars, growing
challenges-Finance minister says $12.5 billion supplement to 2025-2026
budget ‘fully covers’ Gaza fighting, plans for other fronts; Katz:
Israel must have ‘complete superiority’ over enemies By Reuters 17 July
2025, 5:51 pm
Israel will raise defense spending by NIS 42
billion ($12.5 billion) in 2025 and 2026, the finance and defense
ministries said on Thursday, citing the ongoing wars and security
challenges.The budget agreement will allow the Defense Ministry to
“advance urgent and essential procurement deals critical to national
security,” the ministries said in a statement.Finance Minister Bezalel
Smotrich said the new defense budget “fully covers the intense fighting
in Gaza, alongside comprehensive security preparations for all threats —
from the south, the north, and more distant arenas.”Military costs have
surged since the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, attack that
killed some 1,200 people and took another 251 hostage and sparked the
war in Gaza; other Iran-backed groups, includin Hezbollah in Lebanon and
the Houthis in Yemen, soon joined the fighting against Israel, and the
fall of the Assad regime in Syria sparked Israeli involvement there as
well.Over the past 21 months, Israel’s missile defense systems have been
working almost daily to intercept missiles fired by Hamas, Hezbollah,
the Houthis, and — during the recent 12-day open war, as well as on two
previous occasions — Iran.Current annual defense spending is NIS 110
billion ($32.7 billion), about 9% of gross domestic product — out of a
total 2025 budget of NIS 756 billion ($224.8 billion).The extra
budgetary funding “will allow the Defense Ministry to immediately sign
procurement deals for the weapons and ammunition required to replenish
depleted stocks and support the IDF’s ongoing operations,” said Amir
Baram, director general of the Defense Ministry.It would also enable the
defense establishment to initiate development programs to strengthen
the IDF’s qualitative edge for future systems, he said.‘Complete
military, technological, and operational superiority’Defense Minister
Israel Katz said the funds would allow Israel to prepare for multiple
scenarios since “enemies are openly declaring their intent to destroy
us… For this we require complete military, technological and operational
superiority.”Separately, the Defense Ministry said it had signed a deal
with state-run Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to accelerate serial
production of Arrow interceptors.Israel’s Arrow 2 and 3 long-range
missile defense systems, developed and manufactured in cooperation with
the US, were used extensively during the war with Iran last month, as
well as amid repeated Houthi attacks from Yemen. There has been
speculation that Israel’s supplies of the interceptors had been
significantly depleted by the attacks.This image released by the Defense
Ministry on July 17, 2025, shows an Arrow air defense system launching a
missile during the Israel-Iran war in June. (Defense Ministry)In a
statement, Baram said, “Accelerating the production rate of the Arrow
and other critical systems is a central component of the ministry’s
strategy to expand production capabilities and improve operational
readiness for the continuation of the war and future campaigns.”On
Wednesday, the ministry also signed a $20 million deal with Israel
Weapon Industries (IWI) to supply advanced machine guns aimed at
significantly enhancing the IDF ground forces’ firepower
capabilities.Emanuel Fabian contributed to this report.Bodies left in
Sweida's streets as Syrian army pulls out-IDF says dozens of Druze from
Israel still remain in Syria after rushing border-Army says there were
no further crossings overnight, is working to patch up holes in fence;
Kurdish official urges Sharaa to rethink approach to minorities By
Emanuel Fabian,Nurit Yohanan-and AFP 17 July 2025, 4:54 pmThe Israel
Defense Forces said Thursday that it managed to return dozens of Druze
who had crossed from Israel into Syria the previous day, aiming to reach
their embattled brethren, adding that several dozen remained inside
Syria, mostly in the Hader area, a Druze town just over the border.The
IDF and Israel Police also sent several Syrian Druze, who had crossed
into Israel at the same time, back to Syria, the army said. It was
unclear how many Syrian Druze still remained in Israel.The mass breaches
of the frontier came amid deadly clashes in the city of Sweida in
southern Syria between the majority-Druze population and Bedouin tribes,
leading some 1,000 Druze who live in Israel to rush the border.Syrian
government forces deployed to the Sweida area amid the clashes with the
stated aim of overseeing a truce, but witnesses said they intervened
against the Druze. In response, the IDF struck them and other military
targets in Damascus, saying it was protecting the Druze.Syrian troops
pulled out of the Druze heartland province of Sweida on Thursday on
orders from the Islamist-led government, leaving bodies strewn on the
street, AFP journalists reported from the provincial capital.There were
no crossings of the border or protests overnight, the Israeli army said
Thursday, adding that work is scheduled to fix the breaches in the fence
and, with police, set up blockades in the area to prevent any further
crossings.Meanwhile, a Syrian journalist affiliated with the country’s
new regime published footage showing armed Druze fighters and residents
in southern Syria cheering as an Israel Defense Forces convoy rolled
through a nearby town.In the footage, people wave Druze flags and hoot
for the line of IDF vehicles, one of which is flying an Israeli flag.One
of the individuals is heard calling on the Israeli forces to go after
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, apparently suggesting he be
eliminated.It was unclear exactly where and when the video was filmed.In
a televised speech Thursday, Sharaa said community leaders would resume
control over security in Sweida after the deployment of government
troops on Tuesday fueled the sectarian bloodshed and prompted the
Israeli intervention.Government troops told AFP that the order to
withdraw came shortly before midnight and they completed their pullout
from the province at dawn.An AFP photographer counted 15 bodies on the
street in the center of Sweida on Thursday after government forces
pulled out.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said more than
500 people have been killed in sectarian clashes in the city since
Sunday.Israel had pounded government troops with airstrikes during their
brief deployment to the southern province and also struck army
headquarters and near the Presidential Palace in Damascus, warning that
its strikes would intensify until the Islamist-led government pulled
back.Sharaa, whose interim government has had troubled relations with
ethnic and religious minority groups since it toppled veteran leader
Bashar al-Assad in December, also pledged to protect the Druze.A Kurdish
official on Thursday urged the new government to rethink its approach
to the country’s minorities following the deadly clashes.“The
transitional government must undertake a comprehensive and urgent review
of its approach to dealing with Syria’s internal affairs, and begin a
serious and responsible national dialogue with all components, while
respecting the privacy and cultural and religious identity of each,”
Bedran Ciya Kurd, a senior official in the Kurdish-led administration in
northeast Syria, said on X.March saw massacres of more than 1,700
mostly Alawite civilians in their hub on the Mediterranean coast, with
government-affiliated groups blamed for most of the killings.Government
forces also battled Druze fighters in Sweida province and near Damascus
in April and May, leaving more than 100 people dead.Israel has said it
will not allow the Druze to be harmed. Israel, which is home to around
150,000 Druze, many of whom serve in the IDF, has repeatedly stated its

Prominent Israeli rabbis
back intervention in Syria on behalf of Druze-Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi
Kalman Ber and Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu issue statements
stressing the bond between Israel and the Druze, describe assisting them
as a moral duty By Rossella Tercatin-and Agencies 17 July 2025, 4:53 pm
Two
prominent Israeli rabbis have spoken up to back the country’s decision
to intervene militarily to protect the Druze community in southern Syria
after days of violent clashes that left dozens of civilians
dead.Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber on Thursday issued an open call to
Israel and the world to help the Druze in Syria, citing the biblical
commandment “Do not stand by the blood of your neighbor” (Leviticus
19:16).In a rare move, Ber also appeared to draw a comparison between
the violence perpetrated against the Druze in southern Syria and
persecution against Jews in the past.“We are witnessing a brutal
campaign of murder against the Druze people, an assault on the image [of
God] in humanity,” he wrote. “These are acts that we and all religious
leaders around the world must not ignore or remain silent in the face
of. We have seen savage beasts descend in a fury upon innocent
civilians, without distinguishing between man and woman, elder and
child. We are reminded of the dark days of history, when bloodthirsty
nations committed similar atrocities — and the world was silent!!!”The
statement marks a departure for the rabbinical leader; chief rabbis
rarely comment on defense issues or matters involving other faiths.More
than 350 people had been killed in clashes this week between Druze and
Bedouin fighters in Syria, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said early Thursday. Hours earlier, Syria announced it had begun
withdrawing its army from Druze-majority Sweida city after agreeing to a
new ceasefire that it said would bring a complete halt to its military
operations there. The arrangement has been rejected by some Druze
leaders.Witnesses in Sweida said government forces dispatched there with
the stated objective of ending the violence joined with Bedouins to
attack Druze fighters and civilians.SOHR reported that since clashes
erupted on Sunday, 79 Druze fighters were killed along with 55
civilians, 27 of them in “summary executions by members of the defense
and interior ministries,” while 189 defense and interior ministry
personnel and 18 Bedouin fighters were also killed.Israel carried out
several strikes on Wednesday in Damascus and on Syrian regime forces
deployed to the areas of southern Syria where the fighting had been
taking place.“The divine commandment ‘Do not stand idly by the blood of
your neighbor’ obligates us to raise a cry and stir the conscience of
the entire world,” Ber wrote, describing the violence against the Druze
as “ethnic cleansing.”“We must also remember that some members of this
community — and their relatives — live among us and are bound to us in a
covenant of blood, forged in shared sacrifice for the existence of the
State of Israel,” he added.Around 150,000 Druze live in Israel, most of
whom hold Israeli citizenship and serve in the IDF. However, of the some
23,000 living in the Golan Heights, most do not hold Israeli
citizenship and still see themselves as Syrian nationals. They maintain
close links with communities in Syria, where some 700,000 Druze
live.Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, a hardline religious Zionist
leader, who is known for incendiary statements against Arabs, also
called on Israel to assist the Druze, describing it as a “moral
obligation.”“The Torah teaches us that every human being is beloved,
having been created in the image of God (tzelem Elokim),” Eliyahu wrote
in a statement shared on the Facebook page of his office. “Showing
contempt for others and degrading them stands in direct opposition to
the values of the Torah. Disregard for human life violates the most
fundamental principles that God has given to us — and to the entire
world.”“The members of the Druze community have defended Israel with
great courage since the founding of the state,” he added. “The Torah
tells of the special bond that existed between the people of Israel and
Jethro, the father of their nation, over 3,000 years ago.”Jethro, Moses’
father-in-law, is revered by the Druze as the most important prophet of
their highly secretive faith.“We express our support for the government
of Israel, which has warned the Syrian regime not to allow its forces
to abuse the Druze,” Eliyahu further wrote. “We also support the IDF in
striking Syrian forces that have attacked Druze civilians. It is our
moral obligation to defend the Druze community, which has entered with
us into a covenant of blood.”Eliyahu is a member of the Chief Rabbinate
Council, which serves as the leading authority on Jewish law for the
government and providers of religious services in the country. He is the
father of Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu from the far-right Otzma
Yehudit party.Eliyahu is known for controversial statements and rulings
on Jewish law, including one that forbade the rental or sale of
Jewish-owned property in Safed to Arabs. A year ago, he also backed his
son’s statement about the possibility of dropping a nuclear bomb on
Gaza.
US, Israel said to discuss new strikes if no diplomacy
soon-Report: Of 3 nuke sites hit by US, only Fordo was badly set back;
Trump rejected wider op-US intel assessment cited by NBC News indicates
less extensive damage at Natanz and Isfahan; Trump said to have eschewed
weeks-long campaign targeting 6 sites-By ToI Staff 17 July 2025, 2:39
pm
US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites only caused
significant damage to one of them, a new intelligence assessment has
reportedly found, and discussions are said to have taken place between
Israeli and American officials on the possibility of renewing strikes on
the two other locations if Tehran doesn’t agree to talks soon.The US
strikes last month set back uranium enrichment activity at the
underground Fordo nuclear site by some two years, NBC news reported on
Thursday, citing five current and former US officials with knowledge of
the intel findings, which have been shared with lawmakers and officials
in allied countries in recent days.The US outlet’s reporting indicates,
but does not state explicitly, that the damage at Isfahan and Natanz,
the two other sites, was less extensive, with some parts of them beyond
America’s massive bunker-buster bombs. The report said US officials
think Iran could have the facilities back up and running in months.Two
of the current officials told NBC that assessments are ongoing and may
change over time, noting that more damage has been identified in the
current analysis than in previous ones.According to the report, US
President Donald Trump had been presented at the time with an option of a
much more comprehensive air campaign, which would have continued for
weeks and involved hitting six nuclear sites repeatedly, but opted for
the more limited strike due to concerns about US involvement in Middle
Eastern conflicts.“We were willing to go all the way in our options, but
the president did not want to,” one of the sources was quoted as
saying.The report cited a current and a former official saying the US
and Israel have discussed going back in to conduct fresh attacks on
Natanz and Isfahan if Tehran continues to avoid negotiations over its
nuclear program or there are signs it is trying to rebuild the
sites.Responding to the report, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly
reiterated Trump’s claim that the attacked sites were “totally
obliterated” and that “America and the world are safer, thanks to his
decisive action.”“The credibility of the Fake News Media is similar to
that of the current state of the Iranian nuclear facilities: destroyed,
in the dirt, and will take years to recover,” chief Pentagon spokesman
Sean Parnell told NBC. “President Trump was clear and the American
people understand: Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordo, Isfahan, and
Natanz were completely and totally obliterated. There is no doubt about
that.”The Pentagon said earlier this month that its intelligence
suggested the strikes set back the nuclear program as a whole by up to
two years.The head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, raised
doubts over the effectiveness of the strikes last month, saying that
Iran could be producing enriched uranium in a few months.Several experts
have also cautioned that Iran likely moved a stockpile of near
weapons-grade highly enriched uranium out of the deeply buried Fordo
site before the strikes and could be hiding it. However, US Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth said he was unaware of intelligence suggesting
Iran had moved it.Israel launched an unprecedented air campaign
targeting Iranian nuclear sites, scientists and top military brass on
June 13 in a bid to end the country’s nuclear program, which Tehran says
is for civilian purposes but Washington and other powers insist is
aimed at acquiring atomic weapons.Trump had spent weeks pursuing a
diplomatic path to replace the nuclear deal with Tehran that he tore up
during his first term in 2018, but he ultimately decided to take
military action. The US operation was massive, involving more than 125
US aircraft, including stealth bombers, fighters, and aerial refueling
tankers as well as a guided missile submarine.The US and Israel said the
strikes were intended to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons
and to radically degrade its ballistic missile capabilities.Iran, which
openly seeks to destroy Israel, claims its nuclear program is solely
geared toward civilian use, but it has enriched uranium to 60 percent
purity, above levels needed for civilian usage and a short step from the
level needed for weapons production, obstructed international
inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its
ballistic missile capabilities.Israel says it holds intelligence
information indicating that Tehran was taking active steps to build a
bomb. It has also warned that it could take further military steps if it
sees Iran attempting to rebuild its nuclear and missile programs.
N. Korea says Japan seeking to be a 'military giant'
Seoul,
July 17 (AFP) Jul 17, 2025-A new Japanese defence policy white paper
showed the country was seeking to be a major military power, North
Korean state media reported a foreign ministry official as saying
Friday, who justified Pyongyang's nuclear program on that basis.The
policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the
foreign ministry described the Japanese defence white paper, approved
this week, as "a war scenario for realizing its ambition for reinvasion
from A to Z," the Korean Central News Agency said.The white paper was
approved by the cabinet of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Tuesday.It
argued, among other things, that China's intensifying military
activities could seriously impact Japanese security, citing the first
confirmed incursion by a Chinese military aircraft into its airspace.It
also said North Korea's activities pose a "more grave and imminent
threat to Japan's national security than ever before".Japan is in a
multi-year process of increasing its defence spending, as many countries
are doing under pressure from the United States, as Donald Trump
governs for a second time with a focus on more-burden sharing on
defence.Japan is bolstering its military ties with Washington -- and
other regional US allies -- to make US and Japanese forces nimbler in
response to threats such as a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.The
Japan studies department of the North Korean foreign ministry said Japan
was "escalating the regional situation in a gradual way (to) justify
its reckless moves to turn itself into a military giant," KCNA
reported.Japan's military activities show that North Korea's efforts to
build up its nuclear arsenal "serve as an indispensable contribution to
strongly suppressing the provocations of the US and its allies," the
agency reported.
Ukraine 'shouldn't target' Moscow: Trump-by AFP Staff Writers.
Washington
(AFP) July 15, 2025-Donald Trump said Tuesday Ukraine should not target
Moscow and that he had no plans to supply Kyiv with long-range
missiles, following a report the US leader had encouraged President
Volodymyr Zelensky to hit the Russian capital.The Financial Times
reported that Trump had brought up a potential counteroffensive with
Zelensky and even asked his Ukrainian counterpart whether he could hit
Moscow, if Washington provided long-range weapons.Asked by reporters at
the White House if Zelensky should target the Russian capital, Trump
replied: "No, he shouldn't target Moscow."He was also asked if he was
willing to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles and said: "No, we're
not looking to."Citing two people familiar with the call, the Times
reported that Trump spoke to Zelensky on July 4, a day after talks with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.Trump also reportedly discussed sending
Ukraine US-made ATACMS missiles, the Times said.Trump, who had vowed to
end the Ukraine war within a day of returning to the White House, has
said he is "disappointed" in Putin, who has kept attacking Ukraine as if
the leaders' telephone conversations "didn't mean anything."White House
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt played down the Times report, saying
in a statement that the paper was "notorious for taking words wildly out
of context to get clicks.""President Trump was merely asking a
question, not encouraging further killing," she said. "He's working
tirelessly to stop the killing and end this war."
Russia fires hundreds of drones at Ukraine, defying Trump warning by AFP Staff Writers.
Kyiv,
Ukraine (AFP) July 16, 2025-Russia fired hundreds of drones, artillery
and a ballistic missile at Ukraine between late Tuesday and early
Wednesday, Ukraine said, defying calls by Donald Trump to reach a peace
deal.The attacks left one woman dead and wounded more than two dozen
people across multiple regions, while a missile attack cut power and
water in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's home city of Kryvyi
Rig, according to authorities.The bombardment came two days after US
President Trump threatened to impose severe sanctions against the
country unless it reached a peace settlement within 50 days to end its
three-year war on Ukraine.Ukrainian and Russian officials last met for
direct peace talks more than a month ago, and no further meetings have
been scheduled despite the Kremlin saying it is open for more
talks.Russia fired at least 400 drones at Ukraine between late Tuesday
and early Wednesday, as well as an Iskander ballistic missile launched
from the annexed Crimean peninsula, the Ukrainian air force
said.Overnight drone attacks on the central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia
left eight wounded, while three were wounded in an attack on the
northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, local authorities said.Russian
attacks on the city of Kryvyi Rig wounded at least 15 people, destroyed
an industrial building and disrupted power and water supplies, according
to local officials.A 17-year-old boy was among those injured, the
city's mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said on Telegram."He was wounded in the
abdominal cavity. He was immediately taken to the hospital, in serious
condition. Now doctors are fighting for his life," he wrote."This has
never happened before. A ballistic missile and 28 Shaheds
simultaneously," he added, referring to Iranian-designed drones.Russia
has stepped up its summer campaign against Ukraine in recent weeks as
Washington-mediated ceasefire talks stall.Its army has pushed ahead on
the battlefield, while pounding Ukraine with combined drone, artillery
and missile strikes.Trump said Monday he had struck a deal with NATO
chief to supply more American air defence systems and weapons to
Ukraine, citing his frustration with Russia's refusal to accept a
ceasefire.
New drone attacks hit three oil fields in northern Iraq: Kurdish forces by AFP Staff Writers.
Arbil,
Iraq (AFP) July 16, 2025-Explosive-laden drones hit three oil fields in
Iraq's northern autonomous Kurdistan region early Wednesday, Kurdish
forces said, a day after a similar attack shut operations at a US-run
field.In the past few weeks, Iraq and particularly the Kurdistan region
have seen a spate of unclaimed drone and rocket attacks.Wednesday's
attacks have raised the number of oil field hit in Kurdistan to five
within a week."At 06:00 and 06:15 (0300 and 0315 GMT) two
explosive-laden drones attacked" the Peshkabir oil field operated by the
Norwegian oil group DNO in Zakho district, Kurdistan's counterterrorism
services said.At 7:00 am (0400 GMT) a similar drone struck the
DNO-operated Tawke field in the same area, Kurdistan's counterterrorism
services said.The attacks caused only material damage.Another attack at
7:14 am (0414 GMT) targeted an oil field operated by the US firm Hunt
Oil in Dohuk province, without causing casualties or material
damage.Long plagued by conflict, Iraq frequently experiences such
attacks, often linked to regional proxy struggles between Iran and the
United States and its ally Israel.The attacks also come at a time of
heightened tension between Baghdad and Arbil over oil exports, with a
major pipeline through Turkey shut since 2023 over legal disputes and
technical issues.Wednesday's attacks came a day after an explosive-laden
drone strike forced the US firm HKN Energy to suspend operations in the
Sarsang oil field in Duhok.On Monday, one drone was shot down near
Arbil airport, while two others hit the Khurmala oil field in the same
province, causing material damage.Iraqi Kurdistan presents itself as a
relative oasis of stability in a volatile Iraq, attracting foreign
investors due to its close ties with the United States and European
countries.
Drone attack shuts US-run oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Arbil,
Iraq (AFP) July 15, 2025 - A drone strike on Tuesday forced a US
company to suspend operations at an oil field in Iraq's Kurdistan, the
latest in a string of attacks targeting the autonomous region's energy
facilities.The Iraqi government said it will investigate the attacks,
which occurred months before legislative elections, at a time of
simmering tension between Baghdad and the regional administration in
Arbil mainly over oil exports.The Arbil government said the Sarsang oil
field in Duhok province was hit, denouncing the strike as "an act of
terrorism against the Kurdistan Region's vital economic
infrastructure".It did not say who may be behind the attack, and there
was no claim of responsibility.Tuesday's attack followed similar drone
strikes a day earlier on an airport hosting US troops and on an oil
field in Arbil province, near Duhok.HKN Energy, the US firm operating
the Sarsang site, said a blast occurred at about 7:00 am (0400 GMT) at
one of its production facilities."Operations at the affected facility
have been suspended until the site is secured," it said in a statement.A
fire broke out but caused no casualties. HKN said emergency teams later
contained the blaze.In the past few weeks, Iraq and particularly the
Kurdistan region have seen a spate of unclaimed drone and rocket
attacks.Long plagued by conflict, Iraq frequently experiences such
attacks, often linked to regional proxy struggles between Iran and the
United States and its ally Israel.Iraqi Kurdistan presents itself as a
relative oasis of stability in a volatile Iraq, attracting foreign
investors due to its close ties with the United States and European
countries.- 'Vital institutions' -On Tuesday, Kurdistan's presidency
condemned the latest attacks, warning that they "pose a risk" to
international investments and calling on Baghdad to find the
perpetrators and prevent further incidents.Iraq's Prime Minister
Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered an "immediate and comprehensive
investigation" into the attacks, his military spokesman Sabah al-Numan
said."The nature and timing of these criminal acts indicate malicious
intent aimed at creating confusion and harming Iraq and its vital
institutions," Numan added.Iraq is gearing up for legislative elections
in November, which are often marked by heated political wrangling.The
attacks also come at a time of heightened tension between Baghdad and
Arbil over oil exports, with a major pipeline through Turkey shut since
2023 over legal disputes and technical issues.In May, Iraq's federal
authorities filed a complaint against the autonomous Kurdistan region
for signing gas contracts with two US companies, including HKN
Energy.Iraq slammed the deals, saying all oil and gas development must
be conducted through the federal government.A few hours after Tuesday's
drone attack, Iraq's oil ministry announced an initial agreement with
HKN to develop the Hamrin oil field in Salaheddin province.-
'Unacceptable' -The US embassy in Baghdad denounced the recent drone
strikes, including on "critical infrastructure" in Kurdistan."These
attacks are unacceptable," the embassy said on X, adding that the Iraqi
government "must exercise its authority to prevent armed actors from
launching these attacks against sites... where Iraqi and international
companies have invested in Iraq's future".The Sarsang attack came a day
after other explosive-laden drone attacks were reported elsewhere in
Kurdistan.One drone was shot down near Arbil airport, while two others
hit the Khurmala oil field in the same province, causing material
damage.There has been no claim of responsibility for those
attacks.Politicians close to the Kurdish authorities blamed pro-Iran
groups, without offering evidence.On July 3, the Kurdistan government
said that the Hashed al-Shaabi, a coalition of pro-Iran former
paramilitaries now integrated into the regular armed forces, had downed a
drone near Arbil airport.Baghdad rejected the accusation against "an
official Iraqi security institution".
Europeans tell Iran will reimpose sanctions if no progress on nuclear deal: France.
Paris,
July 18 (AFP) Jul 18, 2025-Top European diplomats told their Iranian
counterpart on Thursday they were determined to reactivate UN sanctions
if Tehran does not make progress on a nuclear deal, France's foreign
ministry said.The diplomats, from Britain, France, Germany and the
European Union, told Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi of "their
determination to use the 'snapback' mechanism -- which allows for the
reimposition of all international sanctions against Iran -- in the
absence of concrete progress" towards a deal on Tehran's nuclear
programme "by the end of the summer", the French foreign ministry
said.They are applying pressure to convince Iran of "the urgency of
returning to the diplomatic path without delay, in order to reach a
robust, verifiable, and durable agreement on Iran's nuclear
programme".There has been much speculation about the status of Tehran's
nuclear programme since Israeli and US strikes on Iranian military and
nuclear facilities in June.A clause in Iran's 2015 nuclear agreement,
which the United States withdrew from, allows for UN sanctions against
Tehran to be reimposed in case of non-compliance through a snapback
mechanism.European diplomats are seeking progress by the end of August
as the agreement is due to expire in October.Iran and the United States
have held several rounds of negotiations through Omani mediators since
April, before Israel launched an attack on Iran on June 13. Washington
also carried out strikes on Iran, effectively ending the nuclear
talks.Since the end of the hostilities, both Iran and the United States
have signalled willingness to return to the table, though Tehran has
said it will not renounce its right to the peaceful use of nuclear
power.An adviser to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on
Monday there would be no new nuclear talks with the United States if
they were conditioned on Tehran abandoning its uranium enrichment
activities.
Taipei holds air raid drill to prepare for Chinese attack.
Taipei,
July 17 (AFP) Jul 17, 2025-Taipei came to a brief standstill on
Thursday when air raid sirens forced people off the streets and into
underground shelters in a rehearsal for a Chinese attack.The annual
civilian drill is being held in cities across Taiwan this week,
alongside military training, to prepare the self-governed island for a
potential Chinese invasion.Communist China has never ruled Taiwan but
Beijing insists the island is part of its territory and has threatened
to use force to bring it under its control.Sirens sounded across Taipei
at 1:30 pm (0530 GMT), bringing the capital city of 2.5 million people
to a halt for half an hour.Police waving batons stopped motorbikes, cars
and public buses on the streets and people were directed into shelters,
including basements and subway stations.Some people retreated into
office buildings for the duration of the exercise.Tracy Herr, 50, was on
her way to a temple when she heard the air raid siren. She went to a
nearby subway station where others were sheltering.Pointing at a group
of young women sitting on the floor and chatting, Herr said Taiwanese
people had "lived comfortably for too long" and some didn't take the air
raid drill seriously.The drills also involved simulating wartime aid
distribution and a mass-casualty event.Dozens of people lined up at
three distribution points to receive bags of rice, cooking oil and
salt.Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has sought to raise public
awareness of the threat posed by China since taking office last
year."Each drill allows our country to further enhance its ability to
defend itself," Lai said on Thursday.While the exercises were "not
intended to provoke", Lai said the constant threats to Taiwan meant "we
have no choice but to stay fully prepared".- 'Reality of modern warfare'
-Taiwan is keen to show the world, especially its key security backer
Washington, that it is serious about boosting its defence
capability.Taiwanese regular troops were joined by the largest
mobilisation of reservists for the 10-day "Han Kuang" military drills,
which end on Friday.Rather than only repelling a Chinese attack on its
shores, Taiwanese troops this year have also practised fighting invading
forces in city streets."It is as much training as acclimating the
Taiwanese population to the reality of modern warfare," said Kitsch Liao
of the Atlantic Council, a US think tank.Heavily armed troops carrying
US-provided anti-aircraft Stinger missiles stormed Taipei's metro system
in a night-time exercise.High-tech mobile missile launchers from the
United States have also been positioned around the capital and
elsewhere, in full view of the public.Shoppers in a Taipei supermarket
also recently became participants in a drill simulating a Chinese
missile strike on the city."I didn't know there was going to be a
drill," Yang Shu-ting, 70, told AFP."My heart was beating very fast and I
was inevitably nervous. I think the point is to let you know where you
should hide if something happens."Troops have also simulated various
scenarios, including "grey zone harassment" -- tactics that fall short
of an act of war -- and "long-range precision strikes", defence
officials have said.Several minor collisions involving military vehicles
during the exercises highlighted the challenge of manoeuvring through
Taiwan's narrow streets.Defence expert Chieh Chung said such mishaps
were "difficult to avoid" in urban areas."In Taiwan, many roads and
bridges create significant limitations for armoured vehicles when they
move through," said Chieh, a researcher at the Association of Strategic
Foresight in Taipei."So this becomes a problem and obstacle for both
attacking and defending forces."
French army leaves Senegal, ending military presence in west Africa.
Dakar,
July 17 (AFP) Jul 17, 2025-France on Thursday formally handed back its
last two military bases in Senegal, leaving Paris with no permanent army
camps in either west or central Africa.Ending the French army's 65
years in independent Senegal, the pull-out comes after similar
withdrawals across the continent, with former colonies increasingly
turning their backs on their former ruler.The move comes as the Sahel
region faces a growing jihadist conflict across Mali, Burkina Faso and
Niger that is threatening the wider west African region.A recent string
of attacks this month in Mali included an assault on a town on the
border with Senegal.France returned Camp Geille, its largest base in the
west African country, and its airfield at Dakar airport, in a ceremony
attended by top French and Senegalese officials.They included Senegalese
chief of staff General Mbaye Cisse and General Pascal Ianni, the head
of the French forces in Africa.Cisse said the handover marked "an
important turning point in the rich and long military journey of our two
countries".He said the "new objectives" were aimed at "giving new
content to the security partnership".Senegalese troops were working "to
consolidate the numerous skills gained it its quest for strategic
autonomy", he added.The general ended his speech with a quote from
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the French author of "The Little Prince", who
spent several months in Dakar: "For each ending there is always a new
departure."Ianni said Paris was "reinventing partnerships in a dynamic
Africa"."We have to do things differently, and we don't need permanent
bases to do so," he said.The French general however insisted that the
pull-out "takes nothing away from the sacrifices made yesterday by our
brothers-in-arms in Africa for our respective interests".Around 350
French soldiers, primarily tasked with conducting joint operations with
the Senegalese army, are now leaving, marking the end of a three-month
departure process that began in March.After storming to victory in 2024
elections promising radical change, Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye
Faye demanded France withdraw troops from the country by 2025.Unlike
the leaders of other former colonies such as junta-run Burkina Faso,
Mali and Niger, however, Faye has insisted that Senegal will keep
working with Paris.- 'Sovereignty' -Senegal was one of France's first
colonies in Africa.After gaining independence in 1960, Senegal became
one of France's staunchest African allies, playing host to French troops
throughout its modern history.Faye's predecessor, Macky Sall, continued
that tradition.However Faye, who ran on a ticket promising a clean
break with the Sall era, has said that Senegal will treat France like
any other foreign partner.Pledging to make his country more
self-sufficient, the president gave a deadline of the end of 2025 for
all foreign armies to withdraw."Senegal is an independent country, it is
a sovereign country, and sovereignty does not accept the presence of
military bases in a sovereign country," Faye said at the end of 2024.He
maintained nonetheless that France remained "an important partner for
Senegal".Faye has also urged Paris to apologise for colonial atrocities,
including the massacre on December 1, 1944, of dozens of African
soldiers who had fought for France in World War II.A lawmaker from the
president's ruling Pastef party, Guy Marius Sagna, hailed Thursday's
"end to the presence of the French occupying army"."Bravo to President
Diomaye Faye!... Bravo to the patriots! Decolonisation continues," he
told the press.- Continent-wide pull-out -With governments across Africa
increasingly questioning the presence of French soldiers, Paris has
closed or reduced numbers at bases across its former empire.In February,
Paris handed back its sole remaining base in Ivory Coast, ending
decades of French presence at the site.The month before, France turned
over the Kossei base in Chad, its last military foothold in the
unrest-hit Sahel region.Coups in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali between
2020 and 2023 have swept military strongmen to power.All have cut ties
with France and turned to Russia instead for help in fighting the
Sahel's decade-long jihadist insurgency.The Central African Republic,
also a former French colony to which the Kremlin has sent mercenaries,
has likewise demanded a French pull-out.Meanwhile the army has turned
its base in Gabon into a camp shared with the central African nation
focused on training.Only the tiny Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti will
play host to a permanent French army base following Thursday's
withdrawal.France intends to make its base in Djibouti, home to some
1,500 people, its military headquarters for Africa.
UK, Germany vow to tackle people smuggling gangs.
London,
July 17 (AFP) Jul 17, 2025-Britain and Germany signed landmark deals
Wednesday to boost defence ties and crackdown on people smuggling gangs
on the first official visit to the UK by German Chancellor Friedrich
Merz.Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Merz had agreed to change German
law this year so that small boats used to transport migrants across the
English Channel can be seized in Germany."It's a clear sign that we mean
business in every way," the British premier told reporters. Berlin,
though, has yet to confirm when the legislation will be
introduced.Merz's trip came a week after undocumented migrants topped
the political agenda during a state visit to Britain by French President
Emmanuel Macron. Merz said he would host Macron in Germany next
week.Starmer and his German counterpart signed the first ever
"friendship treaty" between their countries at London's Victoria and
Albert Museum, named after Queen Victoria and her German-born husband,
before holding talks at the PM's Downing Street office.Merz said London
and Berlin had agreed an exchange programme, in which German and British
school children would not need visas to take part.Speaking in German,
he said he believed allowing the "young generation" to get to know each
other and their respective countries was a "good basis for the further
development of our relations".- Arms co-operation -Downing Street said
the two leaders would also agree to jointly boost exports of military
goods such as Boxer armoured vehicles and Typhoon jets, which could lead
to "billions of pounds of additional" orders.They would also commit to
developing a precision strike missile with a range of more than 2,000
kilometres (1,250 miles) in the next decade.Undocumented migration has
become a major headache for Starmer's year-old Labour government, as
support for the upstart anti-immigrant Reform UK party soars.More than
22,500 would-be asylum seekers have arrived on England's southeastern
coast by small boat from northern France this year alone.The prime
minister's office said changing the law in Germany would allow police to
"take action against warehouses and storage facilities used by migrant
smugglers" to conceal small boats intended for Channel crossings.Starmer
and Merz also discussed continued support for Ukraine, with both
countries expected to play a role in US President Donald Trump's plan to
send weapons to Kyiv with financing from other NATO countries.- Brexit
trauma -The visit was Merz's first to the UK as chancellor, although he
has already met Starmer several times. They made the same trip by train
to Ukraine just days after Merz took office in early May.The
wide-ranging agreement also known as the "Kensington Treaty" refers to
the turbulent security situation faced by both countries, and includes a
mutual defence pact."There is no strategic threat to one which would
not be a strategic threat to the other," the pact says, with a pledge
the two countries "shall assist one another, including by military
means, in case of an armed attack".While Britain and Germany already
have a commitment to mutual defence as NATO members, the treaty aims to
pave the way for greater defence cooperation, including operations on
NATO's eastern flank.The agreement also seeks to improve Britain's
post-Brexit ties with its neighbours.Macron's trip to Britain in early
July was the first state visit to the country by a European Union head
of state since the UK's acrimonious departure from the EU in 2020
following the 2016 referendum.Merz said that while he personally
"deplore(d)" Britain's decision to leave the bloc, the UK, France and
Germany were "converging" in policy matters including migration and
security.Britain and Germany also agreed that some UK passport holders
would be able to use faster German eGates and they committed to
improving train connections.Last month Eurostar said it planned to
launch a new route from London to Frankfurt in the early 2030s -- the
first such direct connection between the UK and Germany.

DR DOCTORION-ANGEL OF THE MIDEAST
"The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.
FIRST ANGEL: ASIA
But the angel said: "Millions will die in China and in India. Nation will be against nation, brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing millions."Twice I heard the words, "Catastrophic! Catastrophic!"Then the angel said, "Financial crisis will come to Asia.

SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come."

93 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, Hamas-run health ministry says-Legislator from the terror group said killed in attack on Shati refugee camp that also killed 6 kids and their parents; IDF calls on areas of north Gaza to evacuate By Emanuel Fabian,Nurit Yohanan-and AP Today, 9:10 pm-JUL 15,25
Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 93 people and wounded 278 on Tuesday, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, as Israeli troops pressed on with ground operations there.The toll did not specify the number of combatants among the dead. Local officials said dozens of women and children were killed, but the Hamas ministry did not specify how many.One strike in the northern Shati refugee camp killed a Hamas member of the Palestinian Authority’s defunct legislature, as well as a man and a woman and their six children who were sheltering in the same building, according to officials from Shifa Hospital, where the casualties were taken. The legislator was identified as Mohammed Faraj al-Ghoul, 68.One of the deadliest strikes hit a house in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa district on Monday evening, killing 19 members of the family living inside, according to Shifa. The dead included eight women and six children. A strike on a tent housing displaced people in the same district killed a man and a woman and their two children.There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the strikes. The military says it takes measures to mitigate harm to civilians, including using aerial surveillance and precision munitions, and accuses Hamas of embedding itself in civilian infrastructure, including hospitals.Also on Tuesday, Gaza resident Anas Arafat told The Times of Israel that Israeli drone fire had for hours prevented rescuers from reaching his parents, brothers, and their children, who he said were buried under a building in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood following an Israeli strike on Monday.According to Arafat, the rescuers arrived Tuesday afternoon lacking heavy equipment needed to move the rubble. The rescuers recovered the remains of one woman. It appeared that the rest of the family — 13 people in total — did not survive, as no voices were heard from under the rubble since Monday.The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately comment on the incident.IDF tells north Gaza residents to flee, says Hamas tunnels razed-The IDF on Tuesday urged residents of Gaza City and Jabalia in the Strip’s north to evacuate amid the ongoing offensive.“The IDF is operating in the area with increased force to destroy the enemy and terror organizations. The fighting is spreading westward toward the city center,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee said on X.The warning called for civilians to head south to the Mawasi area on the coast.The military announced that it had recently demolished a 3.5 kilometer (2.2 mile)-long Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.The tunnel was located by troops of the Kfir Infantry Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit during operations in the south of Khan Younis, the IDF said.The tunnel connected to other underground passages and also featured several rooms used by Hamas operatives as living quarters, according to the military.The IDF said the Kfir troops also located weapons and destroyed a facility used to store explosive devices.The IDF released footage showing the demolition of tunnels and booby traps in Beit Hanoun, amid an ongoing offensive against Hamas in the northern Gaza town.Troops of the Givati Infantry Brigade killed dozens of operatives in combat and by directing airstrikes, as well as destroyed Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels, in a joint effort with combat engineers, the military said.The Hamas health ministry says more than 58,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the terror group invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, sparking the war in Gaza.The figure, which cannot be independently verified, does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel says it had killed some 20,000 combatants in battle as of January, as well as about 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the onslaught, which killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.
Amid heated debate, no real plan for ‘humanitarian city’ in Gaza, officials say-UN reiterates opposition to ‘forced displacement,’ as IDF official says planning at very early stage, denies Gazans would be forcibly herded to Rafah site or expelled from Strip-By Reuters and ToI Staff Today, 8:01 pm-JUL 15,25
An Israeli scheme to move hundreds of thousands of already uprooted Palestinians to a so-called humanitarian city in an Israeli military-controlled part of southern Gaza has led politicians to spar with the defense establishment. However, officials say a practical plan has yet to be crafted.Even without a clear blueprint, critics of the government have denounced the proposal, with some pointing to potentially prohibitive costs and danger to soldiers, while others likened the suggested site to a “concentration camp.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has defended the project, saying it would offer Gazan civilians a safe haven while further weakening Hamas’s grip on Gaza. But it remains unclear whether the plan is a concrete government policy.The idea was publicly floated by Defense Minister Israel Katz earlier this month, and Netanyahu convened ministers and defense officials to discuss it late on Sunday.The military had been asked to put together a detailed proposition, but Netanyahu dismissed it as far too costly and complicated, two Israeli officials who were present said, and ordered them to come up with something cheaper and faster.A military source said it was a complex initiative that required intricate logistics for infrastructure such as sewage, sanitation, medical services, water and food supplies.Planning was in a very initial phase only, the source said, and the goal was to help Palestinians who do not want to live under Hamas rule.When asked about the plan, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said: “As we’ve said multiple times, we firmly stand against any plan that involves forced displacements of civilians in Gaza or forces [them] to make impossible choices.”Asked about concerns the relocations would be forced, and whether the new zone was meant to serve as a transit camp with the ultimate aim of expelling Palestinians from Gaza, the military official who spoke with Reuters said: “That is not our policy.”Netanyahu’s office, Katz, the Israel Defense Forces, and Hamas did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.According to Katz in a press briefing last week, the “humanitarian city,” to be set up on the ruins of Rafah, would initially accommodate some 600,000 displaced Palestinians who have been living in the coastal area of al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis.After screening out Hamas operatives, the displaced people would be confined in the Rafah site, Katz said, adding that the zone would be run by international forces rather than Israeli ones.Katz’s statement followed a briefing by Netanyahu last month in which the premier conditioned the Gaza war’s end on the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s plan to oust Gaza’s residents. Trump’s announcement of the plan in February triggered international outrage, including among allies of the US and Israel.Following Katz’s statement, Israeli media reported that the “humanitarian city” plan had met resistance from the military due to legal and logistical challenges, and the fear that the plan would scupper the Gaza hostage-ceasefire talks.The plan was reportedly estimated to cost some NIS 10 billion to 15 billion ($3 billion to $4.5 billion). Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who opposes ending the war in Gaza, said the reported estimate represented efforts by some defense officials to derail the plan by presenting inflated budgets.“Preparing a protected area for the population,” Smotrich’s office said, “is a simple logistical operation that costs only hundreds of millions – an amount that the Ministry of Finance is willing to transfer.”Some commentators suggested that the real aim of floating the plan was to increase pressure on Hamas during the ongoing ceasefire-hostage talks, while also appeasing Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, including Smotrich.According to the United Nations, some 1.9 million Gazans — roughly 90 percent of the population — have been displaced, and 92% of residential buildings destroyed, since the war in the Strip was sparked by the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023.

UN says mass displacement of West Bank Palestinians at highest levels since 1967-Since ‘Iron Wall’ operation was launched in January, tens of thousands have been displaced due to IDF orders and settler pressure, in what the UN warns could be ‘ethnic cleansing’By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 4:45 pm-JUL 15,25
The UN warned Tuesday that mass displacement in the West Bank had hit levels not seen since the start of Israel’s military control of the Palestinian territory nearly 60 years ago.The United Nations said an Israeli military operation launched in the north of the territory in January had displaced tens of thousands of people.The military operation “has been the longest since … the Second Intifada,” in the early 2000s, said Juliette Touma, spokeswoman for UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.“It is impacting several refugee camps in the area, and it is causing the largest population displacement of the Palestinians in the West Bank since 1967,” she told reporters in Geneva via video from Jordan, referring to the Six Day War, in which Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan.The UN rights office warned that mass forced displacement by an occupation force could amount to “ethnic cleansing.”Since Israel’s military launched its operation “Iron Wall” in the north of the West Bank in January, rights office spokesman Thameen Al-Kheetan said, “about 30,000 Palestinians remain forcibly displaced.”Most of the Palestinian civilians in the Jenin refugee camp, the area at the center of the campaign, have evacuated, allowing Israeli troops to search and clear each individual building of infrastructure and weapons used by local terror groups.Israeli security forces during the same period issued demolition orders for about 1,400 homes in the northern West Bank, he said, describing the figures as “alarming.”Kheetan pointed out that Israeli demolitions had displaced 2,907 Palestinians across the West Bank since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.Since then, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 950 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or terrorists carrying out attacks.During the same period, 53 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of Israeli security forces have been killed in fighting during anti-terror raids in Nablus, Jenin, and elsewhere in the West Bank.Another 2,400 Palestinians — nearly half of them children — had been displaced as a result of Israeli settler actions, Kheetan added, lamenting that the combined result was the “emptying large parts of the West Bank of Palestinians.”“Permanently displacing the civilian population within occupied territory amounts to unlawful transfer,” he said, stressing that depending on the circumstances, it could be “tantamount to ethnic cleansing” and could “amount to a crime against humanity.”Kheetan said 757 attacks by Israeli settlers had been recorded in the West Bank during the first half of the year, a 13 percent increase on the same period in 2024.The attacks injured 96 Palestinians in the territory in June alone, he told reporters, stressing that it was the highest monthly injury toll of Palestinians from settler attacks “in over two decades.”
Israeli Druze block roads, rally for Syrian community as regime advances on Sweida-Protests calling for international intervention break out in north shortly before IDF strikes Syrian forces in bid to protect Druze across border By Charlie Summers-and ToI Staff Today, 4:03 pm-JUL 15,25
Fiery protests broke out Tuesday on several major roads in northern Israel, as members of Israel’s Druze community rallied in support of their coreligionists in Syria after regime forces entered the Druze-majority city of Sweida, sparking fears of inter-ethnic violence.Protesters demanded that the international community intervene to protect Syria’s Druze minority from Islamist fighters loyal to the regime, amid rampant concern they could be subjected to deadly violence.The demonstrations came as Israeli planes bombed Syrian government forces rolling into Sweida following days of deadly clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin clans thought to be aligned with the country’s Sunni leadership. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the attacks were meant to ensure the demilitarization of southern Syria as well as to protect the Druze, who are viewed as potential allies.In Israel, police said that Route 6 near Elyakim Junction was closed to traffic in both directions as a result of the demonstrations.Other small protests were reported near Shfaram and Rameh in the upper Galilee.Videos posted to social media showed demonstrators burning tires and waving Druze flags.Police said in a statement that it would allow the protests so long as they remained lawful.“We will not allow events that harm public safety or could bring disruptions of public order,” it said.The drivers were asked to take alternative routes.Around 150,000 Druze live in northern Israel and the Golan Heights, according to Central Bureau of Statistics figures. Many Druze, especially in the Golan Heights, continue to maintain close links with communities in Syria, where some 700,000 Druze live.Druze men are the only Israeli minority, apart from members of the small Circassian community, to be conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces.On Tuesday, the Association of Druze Discharged Soldiers and Reservists penned a letter to Netanyahu urging him to provide military and humanitarian assistance in defense of their Syrian compatriots, who are suffering “brutal attacks by extremist terror organizations.”“There is an unending series of massacres, kidnappings, looting, and harm to innocent civilians — women, children, and the elderly alike,” the group said.The fighting that erupted in Sweida Sunday has underscored the challenges facing interim Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, whose Islamist forces ousted president Bashar al-Assad in December after nearly 14 years of civil war. Though he has been welcomed by the West, there are fears that religious minorities, including the Druze, could be persecuted under his rule.Druze communities in Syria generally stayed loyal to Assad during the civil war. That has bolstered fears that they could fall victim to revenge-seekers loyal to the new regime, with some pointing to massacres of Syrian Alawites who backed Assad earlier this year.“Israel is committed to preventing harm to the Druze in Syria due to the deep brotherly alliance with our Druze citizens in Israel, and their familial and historical ties to the Druze in Syria, and we are acting to prevent the Syrian regime from harming them, and to ensure the demilitarization of the area adjacent to our border with Syria,” Netanyahu and Katz said in a statement.The IDF said Tuesday that it struck “several armored vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers, multiple rocket launchers, as well as access routes” belonging to Syrian regime forces, to “disrupt their arrival” in Sweida.
Wizz Air, United and Lufthansa resume Tel Aviv routes-EasyJet closes Israel routes until spring 2026 as some foreign carriers return-Low-cost airline nixes flights, while Israel prepares Ben Gurion Airport to meet increased passenger traffic in coming months By Sharon Wrobel-Today, 4:53 pm-JUL 15,25
British low-cost carrier easyJet on Tuesday announced it will not resume flight operations to Israel before the spring of 2026, as more foreign airlines started to bring back their services to the country ahead of the lucrative summer season and the busy travel period during the Jewish holidays in the fall.The UK carrier, which had been expected to restart its flight operations at the end of October, announced that it would extend the suspension of all routes to and from Tel Aviv through March 28, 2026.“To provide our customers with certainty on our winter flying schedule, we will no longer be operating flights to Tel Aviv over the winter season,” the airline said in an emailed statement. “We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and remain committed to resuming our Tel Aviv flying from summer 2026.”EasyJet extended its suspension of flight services to and from Tel Aviv when Israel’s airspace was closed on June 13 with the outbreak of war with Iran. The fighting ended 12 days later with a US-brokered ceasefire. The flight suspensions by foreign and local airlines left tens of thousands of Israelis stranded abroad. Israel reopened its airspace on June 24.EasyJet’s decision comes after a host of foreign airlines announced plans to resume their flight operations to the country following the truce with Iran, and after the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency last week lifted a high-risk advisory recommending pilots avoid the airspace over Israel and other parts of the region, due to the risk of war reigniting.Despite recent developments, some European and US airlines have yet to announce or have postponed their resumption dates for flights to and from Israel. US carrier Delta and Air India delayed the resumption of their Israel operations through August 31. British Airways and low-cost carrier Ryanair canceled their Tel Aviv route through October 25.Dutch carrier KLM suspended all flight services to and from Ben Gurion Airport until further notice, citing the “ongoing security situation.”Meanwhile, Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air is expected to bring forward the resumption of flight services to and from Ben Gurion to August 8.French carrier Air France resumed nonstop flights between Ben Gurion and Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport on July 7. Greece’s Aegean Airlines and Spanish airline Air Europa brought forward the resumption of flight services to and from Tel Aviv to July 14.The Lufthansa group — which includes Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings — is expected to restart services on August 1.US carrier United Airlines announced that it would resume flight services from New York to Tel Aviv with a single flight starting on July 21, 10 days earlier than it previously planned.The sustained ceasefire between Israel and Iran also prompted many smaller foreign airlines to gradually resume flight routes to and from Israel, including Ethiopian Airlines, Azerbaijan Airlines, Etihad Airways, Flydubai, Bluebird, TUS Airways, and Hainan Airlines.Earlier this week, the Transportation Ministry, together with the Israel Airports Authority, announced the launch of expansion plans at Ben Gurion to meet increased passenger traffic expected at the airport during the peak summer months.During July, an estimated 1.5 million passengers are expected to come through Ben Gurion Airport, and 1.9 million in August. Passenger traffic is still lower than the 2.5 million and 2.8 million travelers the international airport handled in July and August of 2023, respectively, before the outbreak of war with the Hamas terror group.After the EU aviation safety advisory against Israel air travel was lifted, and with some international carriers gradually resuming flight operations to Tel Aviv, Israel is making preparations to meet security and operational challenges, said Transportation Minister Miri Regev.On August 14, a new advanced security and check-in concourse at Ben Gurion’s main international Terminal 3 will open, spanning an area of about 3,900 square meters. The new area, built at an investment of NIS 50 million ($14.9 million), includes 22 check-in stations and advanced security screening and baggage processing systems.Starting August 3, Ben Gurion will reopen Terminal 1, used mostly by low-cost airlines and charter carriers for international operations, and by Israeli airlines for domestic flights. Initially, flights by Israeli flag carrier El Al, smaller local rivals Arkia and Israir, and Georgian Airways will be operated at the reopened terminal, followed by Wizz Air and other companies. During August, about 500 international flights are expected to operate at the terminal.“We are working vigorously to bring airlines back to Israel, and at the same time are promoting projects that will allow Ben Gurion Airport to accommodate more passengers, while maintaining a high level of service,” said Transportation Ministry Director General Moshe Ben Zaken. “This is the infrastructure that Israel needs for the years to come.”
Japan says China's military activities could 'seriously impact' its security.
Tokyo, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-Japan said Tuesday that China's intensifying military activities could "seriously impact" its security, citing the first confirmed incursion by a Chinese military aircraft into its airspace in an annual threat assessment.The defence ministry said in its white paper that China was ramping up its activities in the entire region surrounding Japan.A Chinese military aircraft entered Japan's airspace in August last year, it said. Then in September, a Chinese aircraft carrier and two other naval ships sailed between two Japanese islands near Taiwan.Beijing's military "created a situation that could seriously impact Japan's security", the paper said.It repeated its comment from last year's paper that China's military ambitions pose "an unprecedented and (the) greatest strategic challenge" to Japan and the world.Beijing responded by saying the paper "hypes up the so-called China threat"."China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this and has lodged solemn representations with Japan," China's foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.Tokyo said last week that Chinese fighter jets flew within 30 metres (100 feet) of a Japanese military patrol aircraft over the East China Sea.Last year, Chinese vessels sailed near the Japanese-administered Senkaku islands -- known as the Diaoyu in China -- a record 355 times, according to Tokyo.And last month Japan said that two Chinese aircraft carriers sailed in the Pacific simultaneously for the first time, including in Japan's economic waters.China called it "routine training".Beijing has also conducted joint drills with Russia which are "clearly intended as a demonstration of force against Japan", the paper said.It repeated that North Korea's activities pose a "more grave and imminent threat to Japan's national security than ever before".The white paper was approved by the cabinet of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Tuesday.- Japan boosts defence spending -Japan is in a multi-year process of increasing its defence spending.It is bolstering its military ties with Washington -- and other regional US allies -- to make US and Japanese forces nimbler in response to threats such as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.The Pentagon is pressing Japan and Australia to make clear what role they would play if the United States and China went to war over Taiwan, the Financial Times reported on Saturday.Elbridge Colby, US under-secretary of defence for policy, has been pushing the issue in meetings with Japanese and Australian defence officials in recent months, the FT said.Colby said that President Donald Trump's "common sense agenda" included "urging allies to step up their defense spending and other efforts related to our collective defense"."Of course, some among our allies might not welcome frank conversations," Colby wrote on X.The issue also forms parts of negotiations between Tokyo and Washington on a trade deal to avert 25-percent tariffs on Japanese imports due from August 1.nf-sam/rsc
China hails 'strategically valuable' Russia ties in Lavrov visit-by AFP Staff Writers.
Beijing (AFP) July 14, 2025-Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hailed Beijing's "strategically valuable" relations with Moscow as he met his Russian counterpart against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and turbulent ties with the United States.Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov was visiting Beijing after a trip to North Korea, where he received assurances of support for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.Wang told Lavrov on Sunday that "China-Russia are the most stable, most mature and most strategically valuable relationship between major powers in the world today", according to a Chinese foreign ministry readout of their meeting."The current focus is to... deepen comprehensive strategic cooperation, promote each side's development and revitalisation, and jointly respond to the challenges brought by a turbulent and changing world," Wang said.The two ministers "exchanged views on the Korean peninsula, the Ukraine crisis, the Iranian nuclear issue and other matters", the Chinese statement said.It did not mention ties with Washington, which Moscow said was also on the agenda.The Russian foreign ministry said Lavrov and Wang also discussed other "burning issues", including the war in Gaza.China, a diplomatic and economic ally of Moscow, claims to be neutral in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.However, it has never denounced Russia's 2022 invasion nor called for it to withdraw its troops, and many of Ukraine's allies believe that China has provided support for Russia.Beijing regularly calls for an end to the fighting, while also accusing Western countries of prolonging the conflict by arming Ukraine.

Arbil, Iraq, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-A drone strike on Tuesday forced a US company to suspend operations at an oil field in Iraq's Kurdistan, the latest in a string of attacks targeting the autonomous region's energy facilities.The Iraqi government said it will investigate the attacks, which occurred months before legislative elections, at a time of simmering tension between Baghdad and the regional administration in Arbil mainly over oil exports.The Arbil government said the Sarsang oil field in Duhok province was hit, denouncing the strike as "an act of terrorism against the Kurdistan Region's vital economic infrastructure".It did not say who may be behind the attack, and there was no claim of responsibility.Tuesday's attack followed similar drone strikes a day earlier on an airport hosting US troops and on an oil field in Arbil province, near Duhok.HKN Energy, the US firm operating the Sarsang site, said a blast occurred at about 7:00 am (0400 GMT) at one of its production facilities."Operations at the affected facility have been suspended until the site is secured," it said in a statement.A fire broke out but caused no casualties. HKN said emergency teams later contained the blaze.In the past few weeks, Iraq and particularly the Kurdistan region have seen a spate of unclaimed drone and rocket attacks.Long plagued by conflict, Iraq frequently experiences such attacks, often linked to regional proxy struggles between Iran and the United States and its ally Israel.Iraqi Kurdistan presents itself as a relative oasis of stability in a volatile Iraq, attracting foreign investors due to its close ties with the United States and European countries.- 'Vital institutions' -On Tuesday, Kurdistan's presidency condemned the latest attacks, warning that they "pose a risk" to international investments and calling on Baghdad to find the perpetrators and prevent further incidents.Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered an "immediate and comprehensive investigation" into the attacks, his military spokesman Sabah al-Numan said."The nature and timing of these criminal acts indicate malicious intent aimed at creating confusion and harming Iraq and its vital institutions," Numan added.Iraq is gearing up for legislative elections in November, which are often marked by heated political wrangling.The attacks also come at a time of heightened tension between Baghdad and Arbil over oil exports, with a major pipeline through Turkey shut since 2023 over legal disputes and technical issues.In May, Iraq's federal authorities filed a complaint against the autonomous Kurdistan region for signing gas contracts with two US companies, including HKN Energy.Iraq slammed the deals, saying all oil and gas development must be conducted through the federal government.A few hours after Tuesday's drone attack, Iraq's oil ministry announced an initial agreement with HKN to develop the Hamrin oil field in Salaheddin province.- 'Unacceptable' -The US embassy in Baghdad denounced the recent drone strikes, including on "critical infrastructure" in Kurdistan."These attacks are unacceptable," the embassy said on X, adding that the Iraqi government "must exercise its authority to prevent armed actors from launching these attacks against sites... where Iraqi and international companies have invested in Iraq's future".The Sarsang attack came a day after other explosive-laden drone attacks were reported elsewhere in Kurdistan.One drone was shot down near Arbil airport, while two others hit the Khurmala oil field in the same province, causing material damage.There has been no claim of responsibility for those attacks.Politicians close to the Kurdish authorities blamed pro-Iran groups, without offering evidence.On July 3, the Kurdistan government said that the Hashed al-Shaabi, a coalition of pro-Iran former paramilitaries now integrated into the regular armed forces, had downed a drone near Arbil airport.Baghdad rejected the accusation against "an official Iraqi security institution".str-rh-cbg/ami
Patriot air defences for Ukraine: Useful but no panacea.
Paris, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-Expected deliveries of new US Patriot air defense systems by some NATO countries to Ukraine will help against intensifying Russian missile and drone attacks, but are no front-line game changer, analysts say.- A proven system -Introduced in 1985, the Patriot has been continuously updated since its first deployment against Iraqi Scud missiles in the Gulf War, allowing it to intercept ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.Each battery consists of a control station and mobile launchers equipped with four interceptor missiles, each costing several million dollars.The latest radar version, which has only just gone into service in the US, allows 360-degree coverage. Previous models only cover a 120-degree arc.Patriot is in service in 18 countries, including Ukraine, which has a few batteries.Its interception range is up to 70 km (43.5 miles) against aircraft and cruise missiles for the Patriot PAC-2 version, and between 20 and 35 km against ballistic missiles for thePatriot PAC-3, according to US army data.Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of the PAC-3 MSE missile, plans to increase production from 500 missiles in 2024 to 650 in 2027.Raytheon, which produces the missiles for PAC-2, expects to boost its monthly output by 150 percent by 2028, Tom Laliberty, its president in charge of air defence systems, told AFP. He did not, however, reveal its current production level.- How useful against Russian attacks? -The challenge for Ukrainians is that the Russians are aiming more airborne weapons at their cities - including many cheap drones - and these attacks are also becoming increasingly effective.Over the past week, Russia launched over 1,800 Geran-2 (the Russian version of the Iranian Shahed-136) alongside decoy long-range drones, according to Fabian Hoffman, a research fellow at the University of Oslo."This marks a sharp increase in the average intensity of long-range drone attacks per day, peaking at 728 combined drones and decoys on July 9", not counting ballistic and cruise missiles, he said.In comparison, the most intense salvo last winter, on February 23, involved 267 drones.While Patriots are useful against high-performance missiles, their deployment against a mass of Shahed drones is "a waste of resources", researcher Joseph Henrotin, who is editor-in-chief of the Defence and International Security (DSI) journal, said in a podcast last week.Each Geran-2 costs an estimated $30,000 to $70,000, according to Hoffman, who said that western arsenals currently lack cost-effective interceptors for defence against long-range drones."This forces Ukraine - and, in a future conflict, European states - to choose between expending interceptor missiles that cost 20 times more than the drone, relying on anti-aircraft guns that are not widely available, or allowing the drone through and accepting the resulting damage," he said.Even against manoeuvring Russian ballistic missiles like the Iskander or Kinzhal, the Patriot's performance is limited."Until a few weeks ago, Patriots regularly intercepted Iskander missiles. Now, they struggle more because the Russians have started using their manoeuvring capabilities," said a European missile defence specialist who did not wish to be identified.The rate of successful interceptions of such missiles has fallen by about 10 percentage points from last winter to 86 percent currently, said Henrotin.- What impact on the course of the war? -With its missile strikes aimed at cities, Russia is forcing Ukraine to allocate significant resources to the protection of its population."Additional means can indeed help to better concentrate Ukraine's air defense efforts," said one western military source who declined to be named.However, the overall trend points to a slow and steady weakening of Ukrainian positions amid Russian territorial gains."I fear that Russia might be able to last five minutes longer" than western support for Ukraine, French armed forces chief-of-staff Thierry Burkhard said last month.And even if the US delivers Patriot systems to Ukraine "over the next year or two", Russia will be able to hike missile and drone production in response, said a high-ranking western officer who declined to be named.The current annual production of Patriot systems -- between 850 and 880 -- is only just above the lowest estimate for Iskander and Kinzhal production, cautioned Hoffman.Russian cruise missile production, of the Kalibr et Kh-101 type, is greater still, he said.mra-fz/jh/gv-LOCKHEED MARTIN-RTX Corporation
Russia fires 136 drones at Ukraine ahead of Trump-NATO head meeting-by Darryl Coote.
Washington DC (UPI) Jul 14, 2025-Russia fired 136 drones at Ukraine, Kyiv's air force said Monday, ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's meeting with NATO head Mark Rutte, where the two are expected to announce a new weapons deal for their besieged European ally.The overnight attack began at 6:39 p.m. Sunday, and consisted of four surface-to-air missiles launched from Russia's Kursk region and the drones from several areas of Russia.The drones were reportedly Iran-made and -supplied Shahed unmanned aerial vehicle systems.Sixty-one of the drones were shot down and another 47 were either lost from radar or suppressed by electronic warfare, Ukraine's air force said, adding that 28 hit targets in 10 locations."The air attack was repelled by aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units and drone systems, and mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defense Forces," it said in a statement on Telegram.The attack came as Trump is set to meet with Rutte, the NATO secretary general, on Monday. Rutte is in Washington, D.C., for a two-day trip ending Tuesday.Trump told a press gaggle at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Sunday that he will send Ukraine Patriot air defense system munitions, with the bill to be covered by the European Union.He also mentioned his upcoming meeting with Rutte, stating they will be sending "various pieces of very sophisticated" military equipment to Ukraine "and they're going to pay us 100% for them."Trump's announcement comes as he has grown publicly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump campaigned on ending the war in 24 hours, but since returning to the White House in January has failed to bring about a cease-fire.He has pursued a cease-fire plan, but has been unable to get a commitment from the Russian leader. Earlier this month, Trump and Putin spoke over the phone, after which the American president told reporters that he "didn't make any progress" toward securing a cease-fire.To reporters on Sunday, he said, "Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everyone in the evening. There's a bit of a problem there. I don't like it."
Airbus to develop advanced PAZ-2 radar satellites for Spanish defence and civil operations-by Hugo Ritmico.
Getafe, Spain (SPX) Jul 14, 2025-Airbus Defence and Space has secured a contract from Hisdesat to develop and manufacture two next-generation PAZ-2 radar satellites for the Spanish Ministry of Defence. The project aims to ensure continuity of service following the original PAZ satellite, operational since 2018, while significantly enhancing national space capabilities.The PAZ-2 system will deliver major technological upgrades over its predecessor, offering sub-25 centimetre resolution and expanded daily coverage of up to 6.7 million square kilometers per satellite. Each satellite will complete 16 Earth orbits per day, delivering radar imaging around the clock in any weather conditions. These enhancements will support both military and civilian missions, including risk assessment, infrastructure surveillance, border management and natural disaster monitoring."With the PAZ-2 satellites, Airbus reaffirms its commitment to strengthening technological sovereignty in security and defence, as well as its leadership in the national and European space sector," said Alain Faure, Head of Airbus Space Systems.Airbus will design, assemble and test the satellites at its Getafe facility and lead a national consortium of over 15 Spanish firms. Approximately 65% of the satellite components will be developed domestically, underscoring the programme's strategic value for the Spanish space industry.The first PAZ-2 satellite is slated to be operational by mid-2031. The initiative extends the successful collaboration between Hisdesat and Airbus in delivering cutting-edge X-band radar capabilities, reinforcing Spain's Earth observation assets and bolstering European security resilience.
China, India, EU among Russia's main trading partners.
Paris, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-US President Donald Trump is threatening to hit Russia's trading partners with tariffs of up to 100 percent if Moscow does not end its war on Ukraine by the beginning of September.Here are the countries most exposed to that ultimatum, if he follows through:- China -China is by far Russia's biggest trading partner, with annual import and export flows between the two totalling nearly $240 billion according to the Bruegel think tank.That Brussels-based institute has been piecing together monthly trade figures for Russia since that country in April 2022 ceased publishing detailed figures as it came under sanctions for its all-out invasion of Ukraine.China accounts for 48 percent of Russia's trade flows, according to Bruegel.In the year to May 2025, Russia exported $125 billion in goods including natural gas and oil, medical equipment and chemical products.Its imports from China amounted to $113 billion, mainly steel, equipment, electronics and textiles.Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian, responding to Trump's threat on Tuesday, said his country's position on Ukraine had always been "clear and consistent -- we have always believed that dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the Ukraine crisis".China "firmly opposes all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction", he said, adding: "There are no winners in a tariff war."- India -India is Russia's third-biggest trade partner, with exchanges totalling $68 billion in the year to May, according to Bruegel.Russian exports to India -- primarily fossil fuels -- accounts for 90 percent of that. India is the biggest buyer of Russian oil in the world.India's exports to Russia are essentially nuclear reactors, machinery and pharmaceutical compounds.Yet clandestine exchanges are believed to greatly expand trade, according to several media reports. The Wall Street Journal, for example, has said that Indian shipping companies deploy a shadow fleet to transport sanctioned Russian oil.- Belarus -Belarus, a close ally of Russia's and itself under US and EU sanctions for helping Moscow in its war on Ukraine, relies heavily on Russian oil and gas for its energy needs.Trade between the two amounted to $60 billion between January and October 2024, according to Russian customs figures.But Belarus's exposure to the threatened US tariffs could be limited, given it exports just $21 million worth of goods to the United States, principally food products, according to the UN Commodity Trade Statistics Database.- EU and Turkey -Even though the European Union has slapped several rounds of sanctions on Russia, it remains a big buyer of Russian gas.According to Bruegel, the EU is likely Russia's second-biggest trading partner, with exchanges totalling $71 billion in the year to May, or 14 percent of Russia's total inflows and outflows.The European Commission is seeking to reduce that trade, and has presented how it plans to phase out Russian natural gas imports by the end of 2027.Turkey, not part of the EU, is Russia's fourth-biggest trading partner, according to Bruegel, which tallied $52 billion worth of exchanges last year.Turkey largely imported Russian fossil fuels and exported electronics.burx-lem/rmb/giv
Nvidia says it will resume sales of 'H20' AI chips to China.
Beijing, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-US tech giant Nvidia announced Tuesday it will resume sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing restrictions that had halted exports.The California-based company produces some of the world's most advanced semiconductors but cannot ship its most cutting-edge chips to China due to concerns that Beijing could use them to enhance military capabilities.Nvidia developed the H20 -- a less powerful version of its AI processing units -- specifically for export to China. However, that plan stalled when the Trump administration tightened export licensing requirements in April."The US government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon," the company said in a statement Tuesday, adding it was "filing applications to sell the Nvidia H20 GPU again."CEO Jensen Huang, wearing his trademark black leather jacket, told reporters in a video published by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV: "I'm looking forward to shipping H20s very soon, and so I'm very happy with that very, very good news."Defending the policy change, Trump's AI Czar David Sacks told CNBC the H20 was a "deprecated chip" that is "not anywhere close to the state of the art."He said the reversal on the H20 came because Nvidia's Chinese rival Huawei was making "huge strides" and could potentially threaten Nvidia's market dominance.China represents a crucial market for Nvidia, but recent US export restrictions have intensified competition from local players like homegrown champion Huawei."We don't want to sell China our latest greatest technology, but I do think we at least want to make it a little bit difficult for Huawei," Sacks said.Sacks also said that the decision was linked to ongoing trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing that are locked in a bitter trade feud.Beijing has criticized Washington's curbs as unfair and designed to hinder its development.- 'Abrupt shifts' -Zhang Guobin, founder of Chinese specialist website eetrend.com, said the resumption would "bring substantial revenue growth, making up for losses caused by the previous ban."It would also ease trade friction impacts on the global semiconductor supply chain, he told AFP.However, he noted Chinese firms would remain focused on domestic chip development, adding that "the Trump administration has been prone to abrupt policy shifts, making it difficult to gauge how long such an opening might endure."Huang will attend a major supply chain gathering Wednesday, according to event organizers, his third trip to China this year, CCTV reported.During an April visit to Beijing, Huang told Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng he "looked favorably upon the potential of the Chinese economy" and was "willing to continue to plow deeply into the Chinese market and play a positive role in promoting US-China trade cooperation," state news agency Xinhua reported.The tightened US export curbs come as China's economy wavers, with domestic consumers reluctant to spend and a prolonged property sector crisis weighing on growth.President Xi Jinping has called for greater self-reliance amid increasing external uncertainty.The Financial Times reported in May that Nvidia was planning to build a research and development center in Shanghai, though neither Nvidia nor city authorities confirmed the project to AFP.China's economy grew 5.2 percent in the second quarter, official data showed Tuesday, as analysts had predicted strong exports despite trade war pressures.bur-arp/md-NVIDIA
Netherlands, Scandinavian states look to join Trump Ukraine arms plan.
Brussels, Belgium, July 15 (AFP) Jul 15, 2025-Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands on Tuesday said they wanted to participate in US President Donald Trump's plan for Europe to buy American weapons for Ukraine.Trump announced a tougher line on Moscow over its war in Ukraine on Monday as he gave the Kremlin 50 days to end the fighting or face massive new economic sanctions.With NATO chief Mark Rutte, Trump also unveiled a deal under which European members of the alliance would buy billions of dollars of arms from the United States -- including Patriot anti-missile batteries -- and send them to Ukraine.Economic powerhouse Germany has already said it is going to play a leading role in the scheme and has offered to buy two Patriot systems.Denmark's foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said that his country was "absolutely ready" to join the scheme and would contribute with cash."We have to work out the details," he said.His Dutch counterpart Caspar Veldkamp said the Netherlands was looking into the scheme "with a positive inclination"."We will look into what we can do in relation to Mr Trump's announcements and take it from there," he said.Sweden's Defence Minister Pal Jonson said his country "would contribute"."We welcome the US announcement that it will enable increased sanctions against Russia and open up for deliveries of Patriot systems and other weapon systems to Ukraine," Jonson told AFP in a written statement.He noted that Ukraine was "in great need of more air defence," given Russia's "constant bombings and attacks."One of the major questions hanging over the US plan is how fast it can get desperately needed weaponry to Ukraine as it faces nightly Russian bombardments.Rutte said the scheme could allow European countries to send weaponry to Ukraine from their stocks that would be then replaced by new US arms.But few countries possess systems like Patriots and those that do have frequently argued that they cannot spare more.He said that beyond Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, NATO members Canada, Norway, and Britain were also among the potential buyers."Norway is in close dialogue with Ukraine on how we can best assist the country with military support," Norwegian defence minister Tore O. Sandvik said in a written statement to AFP, also noting that air defence was a "high priority".Meanwhile, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo told public broadcaster YLE that his government would "evaluate each decision case by case as we receive more detailed information."Trump's apparent pivot away from an attempted rapprochement with Russia's President Vladimir Putin will please Washington's European allies."After yesterday's announcements, it's clear that leadership is once again coming from the US," said Lithuanian foreign minister Kestutis Budrys.European countries admit that helping Ukraine keep up its fight against Russia's invasion would be very difficult without access to US weaponry.
