Iran significantly increased stocks of highly enriched uranium: IAEA by AFP Staff Writers.

Vienna (AFP) Feb 26, 2025-Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in recent months, according to a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seen by AFP on Wednesday.Tensions between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog have repeatedly flared since a 2015 deal curbing Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief fell apart.The IAEA said in its quarterly report that it is of "serious concern" that Iran has an estimated 274.8 kilograms (605 pounds) of uranium enriched to up to 60 percent as of 8 February, up by 92.5 kilograms since the previous report in November.That level of enrichment is a short step from the 90 percent needed to make a nuclear weapon.Tehran in December warned it would ramp up production of uranium enriched to 60 percent in response to the adoption of an IAEA board resolution that censured Tehran for its lack of cooperation with the agency.Iran had also announced that it would launch "new and advanced" centrifuges.Tehran insists on its right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and has denied it is seeking a weapons capability.But according to the IAEA, Iran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to enrich uranium to 60 percent, which is higher than what's necessary to produce nuclear power."The significantly increased production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear weapon State to produce such nuclear material, is of serious concern," the confidential report said.The rate of production of highly enriched uranium has jumped to between 35 to 40 kilograms per month, compared to around 6 kilograms previously, a diplomatic source told AFP.- 'Comprehensive' assessment -In recent years, Tehran has increasingly rolled back its cooperation with the IAEA by deactivating surveillance devices needed to monitor the nuclear programme, and barring UN inspectors.UN nuclear watchdog head Rafael Grossi in a separate report said he would "produce a comprehensive and updated" report on Iran's nuclear programme, including on the "presence and use of undeclared nuclear material in connection with past and present outstanding issues".As of early February, Iran's stockpile of uranium at various levels of enrichment was estimated at 8,294.4 kilograms, up by 1,690 kg since the previous quarterly report.The amount is more than 40 times the limit set in the 2015 accord with world powers.The two reports come on the eve of the IAEA board of governors meeting.Efforts to revive the 2015 landmark nuclear deal -- bringing the United States back on board and Iran back into compliance -- have so far been fruitless.Earlier this week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed the possibility of direct negotiations with the United States on his country's nuclear programme after Washington announced fresh sanctions on Tehran.Crisis Group analyst Ali Vaez said that Iran "will not negotiate with a gun to its head".Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from a 2015 deal with Tehran during his first term as president. The deal had exchanged sanctions relief for limits on Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran rules out 'direct talks' with US on nuclear issue-By Payam DOOST MOHAMADI.

Tehran (AFP) Feb 25, 2025-Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday dismissed the possibility of direct negotiations with the United States on his country's nuclear programme.His remarks came a day after Washington announced fresh sanctions on Tehran targeting more than 30 vessels and people, including the head of the national oil company, accused of involvement in brokering the sale and shipment of Iranian oil.The sanctions were the latest to be imposed since US President Donald Trump reinstated his "maximum pressure" policy towards Iran, reprising his approach during his first term."There will be no possibility of direct talks between us and the United States on the nuclear issue as long as the maximum pressure is applied in this way," Araghchi said during a joint press conference with his visiting Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov."Regarding the nuclear negotiations, the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran is very clear. We will not negotiate under pressure, threat or sanctions."Lavrov arrived in Tehran on Tuesday for talks with Araghchi and other senior officials on a range of topics including bilateral relations, regional developments and the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers.During Trump's first term, which ended in 2021, Washington withdrew from the landmark deal that had imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.On Monday, Iran held a new round of talks with Germany, France and Britain about its nuclear programme after reviving engagement with the trio, known as the E3, late last year.Araghchi said he had briefed Lavrov about the latest discussions."On the nuclear issue, we will move forward with the cooperation and coordination of our friends in Russia and China," he added.- 'Very close' on Syria -With Russia too facing sanctions over its war in Ukraine, Moscow and Tehran have stepped up their cooperation in recent years.Ukraine and its Western allies have accused Iran of supplying Russia with weapons for use in the war -- allegations Iran has repeatedly denied.During a visit to Moscow in January, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a strategic partnership with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin underpinning their economic and military cooperation.Both Iran and Russia suffered a major setback in Syria in December when Islamist-led rebels toppled their longtime ally Bashar al-Assad after both governments invested heavily to support him over more than a decade of civil war.Araghchi said Iran and Russia's positions on Syria remain "very close"."Iran wants peace, stability, preservation of territorial integrity and unity, and the progress of Syria based on the will of the people," he said.Lavrov, for his part, said "we will do our utmost to ensure that the situation calms down and does not pose a threat either to the Syrian people... or to the people of neighbouring states".The Russian diplomat's visit comes one week after he met with his US counterpart Marco Rubio in Saudi Arabia to discuss the war in Ukraine.On Monday, the United States sided with Russia in two votes in New York, refusing to condemn its invasion of Ukraine and signalling a seismic shift as Trump stakes out a drastically new position on the war."Yesterday's event at the UN General Assembly and the Security Council showed one very important thing: the understanding that the approach aimed at eliminating the root causes of the crisis has no alternative," Lavrov said in Tehran.

Bangladesh calls for continued Russian nuclear collaboration.

Dhaka, Feb 26 (AFP) Feb 26, 2025-Bangladesh's interim government praised on Wednesday Moscow's "important" backing of a controversial nuclear plant during the first visit by the director of Russia's state-owned Rosatom since Dhaka's revolution last year.Construction on the nuclear plant at Rooppur began in 2017 during the iron-fisted tenure of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.The much-delayed 2,400-megawatt project is aimed at bolstering an overstretched energy grid and will be Bangladesh's largest power station by generating capacity once fully operational.Alexey Likhachev, chief of the Russian nuclear energy giant, was last in Bangladesh in April 2024, shortly before a student-led uprising that culminated in ousting Hasina in August.Her successor, interim leader Muhammad Yunus, met Likhachev and they discussed the "continuing collaboration between Bangladesh and Russia" concerning the Rooppur plant."We are looking forward to your support, which is very important for us," Yunus told the Russian team, according to a statement from his office.The Rooppur plant was the most expensive infrastructure project undertaken by Hasina -- a $12.65 billion plan 90 percent funded by a Moscow loan -- but has since been dogged by corruption allegations.Hasina, 77, fled to her old ally India, where she has defied extradition requests from Bangladesh to face charges including mass murder.Bangladesh's anti-graft commission launched an investigation into Hasina and her family in December, including into the alleged embezzlement of $5 billion connected to the Rooppur plant project.Yunus's office said the two sides also discussed Dhaka's credit agreement with Moscow, with a proposal to extend that period until the end of 2026.Bangladesh, a nation of some 170 million people, currently relies heavily on importing cross-border power from neighbouring India, especially when demand soars during the blistering heat when consumers rely on energy-hungry air conditioners to keep cool.Relations between Bangladesh and India have frayed, with Dhaka demanding Hasina be sent home.

Iran holds 'constructive' nuclear talks with Europeans: diplomat.

Tehran, Feb 24 (AFP) Feb 24, 2025-Iran held talks on Monday with European powers Germany, France and Britain about its nuclear programme, a senior Iranian diplomat said, describing the meeting in Geneva as constructive.Iran, hit with sanctions over its atomic activity, and the European trio known as the E3 had met in January for a second round of talks in less than two months about Tehran's nuclear programme. The previous talks took place late last year in New York."I held a new round of constructive talks with E3 Political Directors," Tehran's deputy foreign minister for international affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, said in a post on X.Gharibabadi said the sides "exchanged views on nuclear and sanctions lifting issues", adding that "it was agreed to continue talks".The meeting took place on the sidelines of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to the Swiss city to attend the United Nations' Conference on Disarmament and a meeting of the Human Rights Council.The talks with the European powers come with Iran's nuclear programme under renewed focus in light of Donald Trump's return to the White House last month.During his first term as US president, Trump pursued a policy of "maximum pressure" on Tehran, withdrawing the United States from a landmark nuclear deal that imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.Tehran adhered to the 2015 deal for a year after Washington's withdrawal, but then began rolling back its commitments.Efforts to revive the pact have since faltered and European officials have repeatedly expressed frustrations over Tehran's non-compliance.Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes and denies any intention to develop atomic weapons.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear watchdog says Iran has increased its manufacturing of enriched uranium such that it is the only non-nuclear weapons state to possess uranium enriched to 60 percent.That level is well on the way to the 90 percent required for an atomic bomb.ap/sbr/ami/smw

Israel says carries out Lebanon strike on 'significant' Hezbollah militant.

Jerusalem, Feb 26 (AFP) Feb 26, 2025-The Israeli military said it carried out an air strike on Wednesday targeting a "significant" Hezbollah militant in Lebanon, where state media reported one person killed and another wounded."A short while ago, the IAF (air force) conducted a precise and intelligence-based strike on a significant Hezbollah terrorist in the 4400 Unit in the area of Qasr in Lebanon," the military said in a statement.It later identified the target as Mahran Ali Nasser al-Din, saying he was killed in the raid."Mahran Ali Nasser Al-Din played a significant role in Hezbollah's weapons smuggling operations, and he was directly involved in coordinating with smugglers operating along the Syria-Lebanon border," the military added.Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an enemy drone targeted a vehicle on the Hermel-Qasr road, leaving one dead and one wounded" in the northeast of the country.The attack came a day after Israel said it had "struck Hezbollah terrorists" inside a "production and storage facility for strategic weapons".NNA said the Tuesday strike had killed at least two people and wounded two others.More than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel -- initiated by the Lebanese militant group in support of its ally Hamas -- ended with a ceasefire in November that has largely held despite mutual accusations of violations.Hezbollah was significantly weakened and its leadership decimated by the conflict, which included two months of full-scale war during which Israel sent in ground troops.Under the November 27 truce agreement, Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon while Hezbollah was to remove its military infrastructure from the area.However, despite a deadline for implementing the truce passing earlier this month, Israeli troops remain in five points deemed "strategic" by the military.

Syrian Kurdish-led forces say Turkish strikes kill 12.

Qamishli, Syria, Feb 26 (AFP) Feb 26, 2025-Kurdish-led forces that control large areas of northern and northeastern Syria said 12 people were killed Wednesday in air strikes it blamed on Turkey."Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs (drones) targeted a military position belonging to our forces" as well as civilian homes and a vehicle in the Al-Shaddadi area, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said in a statement.The group counted more than 16 strikes, which killed "four of our fighters... six civilian workers and two shepherds".Syria's new leaders, who are close to Ankara, have called for Kurdish armed groups to lay down their weapons, and have also rejected autonomy for the region they control.Turkey accuses the People's Protection Units (YPG), which make up the bulk of the US-backed SDF, of having links with Kurdish militants in Turkey and has threatened to launch a military operation against them.Pro-Turkish factions in Syria launched an offensive against the SDF in late November, just as an alliance of Islamist-led rebels was sweeping through the country on the way to overthrowing Bashar al-Assad on December 8.Since then, fighting has raged in northern Syria, despite US efforts to impose a truce.The Western-backed SDF played a key role in the territorial defeat in Syria of the Islamic State group. In doing so, it seized control of large areas of the country and brought them under its de-facto rule.Kurdish leaders have indicated a willingness to make concessions to the new administration in Damascus and are in talks over several outstanding issues.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (Reuters) — Russian and US diplomats met in Turkey on Thursday for talks to resolve disputes over the work of their respective embassies in Washington and Moscow, a first test of their ability to reset wider relations and work toward ending the war in Ukraine.The Kremlin last year described relations as “below zero” under the administration of then-US President Joe Biden, who backed Ukraine with aid and weapons and imposed waves of sanctions on Russia to punish it for its 2022 invasion.But his successor, Donald Trump, has upended that policy and moved swiftly since taking office last month to open talks with Moscow, pledging to fulfill his repeated promise to bring a quick end to the war.The talks in Istanbul follow a phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 12, and a high-level diplomatic meeting in Saudi Arabia six days later.The Russian team arrived in a black Mercedes van for the meeting at the gated residence of the US Consul General in Istanbul. Russian state TV said the talks were expected to last five to six hours.Ukraine and its European allies are worried that Trump’s rapid rapprochement with Moscow could lead to a deal on ending the war that sidelines them and undermines their security. Putin this week tempered expectations of a quick deal, saying it was essential to rebuild trust between Russia and the United States before anything could be achieved.The two countries have expelled diplomats and limited the appointment of new staff at each other’s missions in a series of tit-for-tat measures over the past decade, leaving their embassies thinly staffed.Narrow focus-The US State Department said Thursday’s talks would cover issues, such as staffing levels, visas and diplomatic banking.“To be clear, there are no political or security issues on the agenda. Ukraine is not  on the agenda,” a State Department spokesperson said on the eve of the meeting.“The constructiveness of these talks will become apparent very quickly; either issues will get resolved or they won’t. We will know soon if Russia is really willing to engage in good faith.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the outcome of the meeting “will show how quickly and effectively we can move.”He acknowledged that Russia had “created uncomfortable conditions” for US diplomats in Moscow, in what he said was retaliation for Washington’s treatment of their Russian counterparts.The talks, despite their narrow focus, are an initial step in a process that could have profound implications for the whole Russia-US relationship in areas such as nuclear disarmament and economic cooperation.Both sides have said they see potential for lucrative business ventures. Putin said this week that Moscow would be ready to invite the US to enter joint projects to tap rare earth deposits in Russia and in the parts of Ukraine that it has claimed as its own territory.The US delegation in Istanbul was led by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Sonata Coulter, and the Russian team by Alexander Darchiyev, head of the foreign ministry’s North America department.Darchiyev is seen as a front-runner to be Russia’s next ambassador to the US, a post that is currently vacant.

Trump moves to bar trans people from US military unless they obtain waiver-Pentagon says transgender troops to be considered for a waiver on case-by-case basis if there is compelling interest in retaining them to serve ‘warfighting capabilities’By W.G. Dunlop Today, 12:12 pm-FEB 27,25

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States will remove transgender troops from the military unless they obtain a waiver on a case-by-case basis, the Pentagon said in a Wednesday memo.The memo became public as part of a court filing in a case challenging US President Donald Trump’s late January executive order that was aimed at barring military service by transgender personnel.“Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria will be processed for separation from military service,” the memo said.These troops may be “considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis, provided there is a compelling government interest in retaining the service member that directly supports warfighting capabilities,” it said.To obtain such a waiver, troops must show that they have never attempted to transition, as well as demonstrate “36 consecutive months of stability in the service member’s sex without clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.”Another Pentagon memo issued earlier this month barred transgender people from joining the military and halted gender transition treatment for others who are already in uniform.The latest memo also states that “applicants for military service… who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are disqualified for military service,” as are those with “a history of cross-sex hormone therapy or sex reassignment or genital reconstruction surgery as treatment for gender dysphoria.”Shifting US policies-Disqualified applicants can also obtain a waiver if there is a “compelling government interest” in them joining the military and they are “willing and able to adhere to all applicable standards, including the standards associated with the applicant’s sex.”Transgender Americans have faced a roller coaster of changing policies on military service in recent years, with Democratic administrations seeking to permit them to serve openly, while Trump has repeatedly sought to keep them out of the ranks.The US military lifted a ban on transgender troops in 2016, during Democrat Barack Obama’s second term as president.Under that policy, trans troops already serving were permitted to do so openly, and transgender recruits were set to start being accepted by July 1, 2017.But the first Trump administration postponed that date to 2018 before deciding to reverse the policy entirely.Trump’s controversial restrictions on transgender military service — which underwent changes in response to various court challenges — eventually came into force in April 2019 following a protracted legal battle that went all the way to the nation’s top court.Trump’s Democratic successor Joe Biden moved to reverse the restrictions just days after he took office in 2021, saying all Americans qualified to serve should be able to do so.After returning to office in January, Trump issued an executive order that again took aim at transgender troops, saying: “Expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”Transgender issues have roiled US politics in recent years, as states controlled by Democrats and Republicans have moved in opposite directions on policies ranging from medical treatment to what books on the topic are allowed in public or school libraries.

Israeli official says IDF won’t withdraw from Philadelphi Corridor as ceasefire stipulates-By ToI Staff Today, 1:59 am

Katz says phase one of ceasefire ‘complete,’ Hamas will not remain in control of Gaza-FEB 27,25

Defense Minister Israel Katz says phase one of the ceasefire “is complete” and that Israel seeks to bring back more hostages from Gaza.“We have returned 25 hostages alive, including female soldiers. This was not the case in earlier negotiations, where the numbers discussed were 10 or 12. We also brought back eight deceased people. We aim to bring them all back,” he says at a conference of regional council heads.He asserts that “the most effective way to ensure this is for Hamas to know that the IDF is ready to return to war. That is the truth.” Katz says Israel did not agree to a ceasefire in Gaza because of a shortage of ammunition or soldier fatigue. We agreed to a ceasefire for one reason only — to bring back the hostages, both alive and deceased. That is our top priority, our moral obligation, and our mutual responsibility, and we will continue to act accordingly.”But he stresses that Hamas “will not remain in control of Gaza, neither civilly nor militarily. This will not happen because it cannot happen.”He adds that if Trump’s plan to encourage Palestinian emigration materializes, “I am rapidly advancing the establishment of a voluntary immigration administration to allow those who wish to leave Gaza to do so via Ashdod Port or Ramon Airport.”

DANIEL 2:37-45
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

DANIEL 7:17-26
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

REV 19:19-21
19 And I saw the beast (EU WORLD DICTATOR), and the kings of the earth, and their armies, (THE EU MUST HAVE ITS OWN ARMY) gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Rubio says NATO not 'in jeopardy' after Merz urges independence-by AFP Staff Writers.

Washington (AFP) Feb 26, 2025-US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Europeans should not fear for NATO's future after alarm over President Donald Trump prompted Germany's election winner Friedrich Merz to urge independence from Washington."My reaction is, NATO is not in jeopardy," Rubio said in an interview broadcast Wednesday on Fox News when asked about Merz's comments."The only thing that puts NATO in jeopardy is the fact that we have NATO allies who barely have militaries, or whose militaries are not very capable, because they've spent 40 years not spending any money on it," Rubio said."We're not saying do your own thing. We're saying do more. It's their continent, right?" Rubio said.Rubio, a former senator once known as a more traditional Republican with hawkish views on Russia and China, cast Trump's cajoling of European allies to spend more on defense as consistent with long-standing calls from the United States across administrations.Trump has spoken dismissively in the past of the transatlantic alliance and stunned many in Europe by reaching out to Russian President Vladimir Putin to seek a deal on Ukraine, which Moscow invaded three years ago.On Monday, the United States sided with Russia and against nearly all of its European allies with a United Nations resolution that urged an end to the Ukraine war without emphasizing the country's territorial integrity.Merz, a conservative, said after his election victory that he wanted good ties with the United States but added that Trump made clear that US interest in Europe was fading.Pointing to Trump's comments, Merz said that Europe must move quickly to "achieve independence" from the United States on defense matters.

Panic in Germany as bitter split develops over ‘EU army’ plans-EXCLUSIVE: As Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky proposes the idea of having ‘European Army' people in German border towns are split on the idea.By Zak Garner-Purkis, Investigations Editor-14:47, Tue, Feb 25, 2025 | UPDATED: 14:51, Tue, Feb 25, 2025

Germans are divided on whether a proposed ‘European Army’ is a good idea for the country.Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the Munich Security Conference that with the USA more reluctant to support its Western allies alternative transcontinental defence measures must be sought."I really believe that the time has come that the armed forces of Europe must be created," Zelenskyy said."Let's be honest, now we can't rule out that America might say 'no' to Europe on issues that might threaten it."Calls for an EU army pre-date Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and were gaining momentum during Donald Trump’s first presidency when the US leader was threatening to pull out of the NATO military alliance.In 2018, former German president Angela Merkel joined her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in backing the idea of setting up a continental military telling an EU congress it would “show the world that there would never again be war in Europe.”However, during a reporting trip to Germany the Express found years of war in Ukraine had failed to sway those living in the EU’s biggest economy on the issue.Germans are divided on whether a proposed ‘European Army’ is a good idea for the country.Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the Munich Security Conference that with the USA more reluctant to support its Western allies alternative transcontinental defence resources must be developed."I really believe that the time has come that the armed forces of Europe must be created," Zelenskyy said."Let's be honest, now we can't rule out that America might say 'no' to Europe on issues that might threaten it."Calls for an EU army pre-date Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and were gaining momentum during Donald Trump’s first presidency when the US leader was threatening to pull out of the NATO military alliance.In 2018, former German president Angela Merkel joined her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in backing the idea of setting up a continental military telling an EU congress it would “show the world that there would never again be war in Europe.”However, during a reporting trip to Germany the Express found years of war in Ukraine had failed to sway those living in the EU’s biggest economy on the issue.We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you've consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Russia might come all the way [to Germany].“I lived in East Germany during Communism, I thought the Cold War was over after the Wolf Berlin Wall fell. But it doesn't look like it anymore.”Last year a report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change called for a “joint UK-EU defence capability” in order to help the continent compete with the unilateral power of countries like Russia and the USA.But any progress between European countries towards establishing a joint force has floundered since Macron and Merkel endorsed the plan.In March 2024, vice-president of the European Commission Josep Borrell said that “defence is a member state competence" and stressed the importance of better collaboration among the 27 member states.

The campaign to ensure Pope Francis's successor is a conservative: Conversations among traditionalists have been 'going on for a while' expert says - as the 'woke' Pontiff, 88, remains in critical condition By HARRY HOWARD-Published: 08:19 EST, 26 February 2025

It is a thriller about a conspiracy to rig the papal election that depicts both conservatives and progressives whispering in the corridors of the Vatican.Conclave, an adaptation of the book of the same name by bestselling historical novelist Robert Harris, has just picked up four Bafta awards.But now, with the real Pontiff gravely ill in hospital, attention is turning to who will be chosen to succeed 88-year-old Pope Francis I.Since being elected 12 years ago, Francis's critics have portrayed him as a 'woke Pope' for his relatively progressive pronouncements on contentious topics, including same sex relationships and the subject of migrants.Allies who want to ensure that Francis's successor is also a liberal will feel reassured that, of the 138 cardinals who can vote in the conclave that will take place after his death or resignation, the Argentine appointed 110 of them (80 per cent).But experts have urged caution. The Pope's biographer, Austen Ivereigh, told The Telegraph it is 'complete nonsense' to suggest that Francis's appointments will think like him just because he chose them.And Catholic author John Allen expressed a 'guarantee' in the Sunday Times at the weekend that conversations among traditionalists have 'been going on for a while'.Leading Catholic commentator Catherine Pepinster added to MailOnline: 'Plotting is always part of the run up to a papal election.'Cardinals who are considered frontrunners to replace Francis include staunch conservatives among their number.One, Hungarian churchman Peter Erdo, is close to his country's hardline president Victor Orban and has expressed opposition to divorced or remarried Catholics being allowed to receive Holy Communion. Another, the Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah branded gender ideology 'Luciferian' and has also spoken out against Islamic fundamentalism. In an update on Francis's health today, the Vatican said: 'The Pope had a peaceful night and is resting.'A source added that he has spent time 'sitting in a chair and is continuing with the treatment as normal'.The Pope was admitted with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs. Francis is also now suffering from kidney failure.Last night, the faithful from Francis's home country gathered in the Argentine church of Rome for a special Mass presided over by Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the pope's vicar for Rome. If the worst does happen, the conclave - where cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days.Only cardinals who are aged 80 and under - so 138 of 252 currently - can vote.Cardinals who are considered frontrunners to replace Francis include staunch conservatives among their number. Cardinal Peter Erdo (left), a Hungarian, is close to his country's hardline president Victor Orban. Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah (right) branded gender ideology 'Luciferian' and has also spoken out against Islamic fundamentalismQuestions remain about which way the cardinals will vote. Mr Allen is the editor of Catholic news website Crux and the author of Conclave: The Politics, Personalities, and Process of the Next Papal Election.He said: 'I couldn't give you names of the conservatives who are meeting this time and having these conversations, but I guarantee you they're out there and I guarantee you these conversations have been going on for a while. 'I know of at least one cardinal who was leading some of those conversations, but he has since died.'Dr Ivereigh added: 'To say he has stacked the College of Cardinals is not quite right.''The idea that these cardinals will necessarily think like Francis is complete nonsense, it's trite. They're highly intelligent people who think for themselves.' Catherine Pepinster said: 'The Catholic Church has long been split between liberal and conservative camps so it is inevitable that different factions will have their preferred candidates to be the next pope. 'Plotting is always part of the run up to a papal election.' She highlighted how most of the cardinals who can vote to choose Francis's successor - 'men he believed were best placed to help lead the Church he shaped' - were appointed by him.'But if you look back at previous conclaves, it doesn’t always work like that,' she added.'Although the conclave of 2005, held after John Paul II died, elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later known as Benedict XVI, who was similarly conservative to John Paul, the next election didn’t follow the same pattern. 'The cardinals in 2013 who gathered for the conclave after the resignation of Benedict XVI and were made up of John Paul and Benedict’s picks, and they voted for the liberal, Francis. 'However, they might well not have expected him to be quite as liberal as he turned out to be, and may have also not expected him to last 12 years, given his age and his health.'Ms Pepinster stressed that the latest contest, when it comes, is 'hard to call', because of the fact that so many cardinals are relatively recent appointments and not well-known in Europe.She added: 'The ideal for the cardinal voters – and for all Catholics – is someone who can unite the Church and offer a message of Christian faith to the world. 'My hunch is that they will go for someone centrist, not someone who is going to be provocative, like Cardinal Robert Sarah, who speaks out in very forthright terms about Islam. 'Given the state of the world, they might well think someone with a diplomat’s skills, such as Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the current secretary of state, would fit the bill. 'Or Matteo Zuppi, cardinal of Bologna, who is very well known and has been involved in peace negotiations. 'The liberals would like a black pope, such as Cardinal Peter Turkson, from Ghana, who is also very concerned about climate change, but conservatives like his approach to traditional family values and his concerns about Islam.'Cardinal Parolin, 70, is seen as a moderate figure who could appeal to both conservatives and those who are more liberal.Another potential candidate, Cardinal Peter Turkson, has spoken out against legislation in Ghana, his home country, that would impose harsh penalties on LGBT people. But Turkson also once said in a video that France will become an 'Islamic republic' and that 'Europe as we know it will cease to exist'.

Gaza priest after speaking with Pope Francis: ‘We rejoice to hear his voice’Christmas Gaza Father Gabriel Romanelli, pastor of Holy Family Parish in Gaza, leads Eucharistic adoration at the parish in December 2024. | Credit: Photo courtesy of Father Gabriel Romanelli-By Victoria Cardiel.

Vatican City, Feb 26, 2025 / 15:35 pm-Father Gabriel Romanelli, IVE, the pastor of Holy Family Parish, the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip, was able to speak with Pope Francis on Tuesday despite the fact that the pontiff remains hospitalized in critical condition with bilateral pneumonia.After the phone call, the parish priest shared how the entire community rejoiced “to hear his voice.”“As he did every day from the beginning of this terrible war, Pope Francis has called us once again to show his closeness, to pray for us, and to give us his blessing,” Romanelli said in a video message posted on the website of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.“As the Parish of the Holy Family of Gaza, which belongs to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, we rejoice to hear his voice,” he added. At the beginning of the war between Hamas and Israel, the parish complex was converted into an improvised shelter where 500 people now live.The majority who live there are Christians, Orthodox, Protestant, and Catholic, but they have also taken in more than 50 Muslim children with disabilities along with their families.For Romanelli, Pope Francis’ daily call, which was only interrupted last Saturday when he suffered a prolonged respiratory crisis that forced him to wear an oxygen mask, “is always comforting.”Especially “knowing that despite his delicate state of health, he continues to think and pray for everyone, for peace in Gaza,” he said in the video recorded in English. He also thanked the pontiff for his “constant prayers.”“It gives us great joy even in the midst of so many trials,” Romanelli said, adding that “we follow all the information about the pope’s health, like all of you, from the official channels of the Holy See.”Finally, he asked for prayers for the end of the war and for “peace for the entire Holy Land and the entire Middle East.”This story was first published by ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: (IN THE JORDAN VALLEY) and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, (NUCLEAR SPECIALISTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

UN rights head says forced transfer, annexation in Palestinian territories ‘unlawful’Volker Turk says such efforts could threaten regional stability, calls Hamas torture and kidnapping ‘war crimes’

By AFP and ToI Staff 26 February 2025, 9:06 pm-The UN rights chief on Wednesday rejected as “unlawful” proposals for the annexation of or forced transfer from Palestinian territories, warning they posed a threat to the entire region.“We must resist any normalization of unlawful conduct, including proposals for annexation or forced transfer,” Volker Turk told the UN Human Rights Council.Such proposals “could threaten the peace and security of Palestinians and Israelis, and of the wider region,” he warned, insisting that “this is the moment for voices of reason to prevail.”Turk did not give details, but there have been rising levels of violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and calls for annexation after Israel announced expanded military operations there.US President Donald Trump has proposed a mass population transfer for Gazans.He has floated the idea of a US takeover of Gaza, under which its Palestinian population would be relocated. His proposal has infuriated the Arab world, which has promised an alternative plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing its residents.Trump later appeared to soften his plan, saying he was only recommending the idea, and that the leaders of Jordan and Egypt had rejected any effort to move Palestinians to their countries against their will.The US president’s official social media accounts on Wednesday posted an apparently AI-generated video depicting Gaza rebuilt into a seaside resort, replete with a towering golden statue of Trump himself.Turk said Wednesday that “we urgently need to end the conflict.”“Israel’s means and methods of warfare have caused staggering levels of casualties and destruction, raising concerns over the commission of war crimes and other possible atrocity crimes,” he said.He raised “serious doubts” about the Israeli justice system’s ability to deliver justice, “notably in relation to the unlawful killing of Palestinians in Gaza or in the West Bank.”Violence in the West Bank has surged since the start of the Gaza war that began with Hamas’s deadly October 7, 2023, attack inside Israel that killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians. The thousands of terrorists that Hamas led in the attack also abducted 251 people to Gaza as hostages.Turk also noted that “Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups have taken, held, and tortured hostages in Gaza, and have indiscriminately fired projectiles into Israeli territory, amounting to war crimes.”To his knowledge, none of these groups had taken measures to punish those responsible, he said, adding that such “impunity begets more violence.”So too did “delegitimizing and threatening international institutions that are there to serve people and uphold international law also harms us all,” he warned.All violations and abuses need to be investigated independently, he said.Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 63 hostages, including 62 of the 251 abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7. They include the bodies of at least 36 confirmed dead by the IDF.While Turk mentioned no names, earlier this month, Washington sanctioned chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court Karim Khan over the ICC’s investigations targeting US personnel, as well as alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza.Khan was responsible for the request that led the ICC to issue arrest warrants late last year for Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant.

Israel has rejected the jurisdiction of The Hague-based court and denies war crimes. The United States, Israel’s main ally, is also not a member of the ICC, and Washington has criticized the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.

Body of woman sent instead of Shiri Bibas returned to Gaza-Palestinian prisoners freed after days-long delay as Hamas hands over slain hostages-Dozens of detainees released to West Bank, Jerusalem before forensic experts verify IDs of the remains; 97 prisoners slated for deportation, among them the longest-serving inmate-By Charlie Summers Today, 5:04 am-FEB 27,25

Israel began releasing Palestinian security prisoners on Wednesday night as Hamas handed over the remains of what is said were four slain hostages, marking the final swap of the ceasefire deal’s first phase.The prisoners went free after a days-long delay, following Israel’s announcement that it would postpone their release until Hamas guaranteed an end to the staged propaganda ceremonies accompanying the release of captives.Unlike previous exchanges that saw prisoners freed only after hostages reached Israeli soil, buses began transporting the detainees at around 1 a.m. shortly after the four bodies were transferred in Gaza to the Red Cross.Soon after 37 prisoners reached Ramallah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that the Red Cross transferred the bodies to Israeli forces, which brought them to the Kerem Shalom Crossing for initial forensic testing.Another five prisoners from East Jerusalem were escorted by Israeli police from the Russian Compound detention center to their homes in the city.Upon exiting a bus in Ramallah, dozens of former inmates from the West Bank, dressed in keffiyehs and jackets to conceal their prison uniforms, were carried by masses of celebrants cheering and flashing the victory sign.Ahead of the swap, Israeli security forces in the West Bank attempted to suppress celebrations surrounding the release near Ofer Prison, where 151 security prisoners were expected to go free.Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported that security forces projected a message reading “Our eyes are on you” onto one of the buildings overlooking the prison. Army vehicles accompanied by a bulldozer were also stationed on the perimeter of the facility.A few hours after the ex-detainees reached the West Bank and Jerusalem, over 400 prisoners, the vast majority detained post-October 7, began to trickle into the Gaza Strip. Several prisoners were taken to the Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis upon their arrival in the enclave, according to Reuters.The Hamas prisoners’ media office also listed 21 minors and one woman slated for release to Gaza.In addition to the detainees, Reuters reported that Israel sent the body of the unidentified Gazan woman that Hamas handed over in place of slain hostage Shiri Bibas to a hospital in the Gaza Strip, following the return of Bibas’s remains over the weekend.Another 97 prisoners — most of whom were handed life sentences for terror attacks which killed Israeli civilians — were deported to Egypt, their first destination until some other countries may welcome them.Most prominent among those listed for deportation is 67-year-old Nael Barghouti, a Hamas-affiliated terror convict and the longest-serving Palestinian inmate in an Israeli prison.Barghouti, who has spent a total of 44 years in Israeli custody, was jailed in 1978 for killing 27-year-old Israeli bus driver Mordechai Yekuel in his vehicle near Ramallah. After 33 years in prison, Barghouti was freed in the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange, but was arrested three years later and convicted on terrorism charges.Also to be deported was Abdel Nasser Issa, a founding member of the West Bank branch of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. Issa was a protege of Yahya Ayyash, Hamas’s explosives engineer and the notorious architect of the terror group’s suicide bombing strategy in the 1990s.Originally from the Balata refugee camp, Issa spent over 32 years in Israeli prisons, including 29 consecutive years, and is serving two life sentences plus an additional seven years.Jerusalemite Alaa al-Din al-Bazyan was previously released in 2011 and was also listed as a deportee.He has served a total of 42 years in prison for multiple terror attacks and was involved in the 2014 kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaer and Naftali Fraenkel.In this particular swap, most prisoners sentenced to life were sent abroad, however a handful with life sentences will be able to return to the West Bank and East Jerusalem.Hamza al-Kaluti, a Hamas operative who was serving a life sentence for planning suicide bombings in the 1990s, returned to his home in Beit Hanina in East Jerusalem after 24 years behind bars.Agencies contributed to this report.

Bitter news’: Israel confirms identities of 4 bodies of hostages returned from Gaza-Remains ID’d of soccer-loving Itzik Elgarat, ‘passionate sportsman’ Ohad Yahalomi, ‘cheerful polymath’ Shlomo Mantzur, and ‘beloved’ Tsahi Idan; Herzog: ‘Israeli hearts ache’By ToI Staff Today, 12:52 pm-FEB 27,25

Four bodies released overnight by Hamas from the Gaza Strip were confirmed Thursday by Israeli authorities to be of hostages Itzik Elgarat, Ohad Yahalomi, Shlomo Mantzur, and Tsahi Idan.The IDF informed the families of Yahalomi, Idan, Mantzur and Elgarat that their loved ones had been murdered, and that their remains were returned to Israel, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement Thursday morning.Yahalomi, Idan, and Elgarat were murdered while in captivity in Gaza, the PMO said, while Mantzur was killed on October 7, 2023, when his body was kidnapped and held in Gaza.The forensic identification process was carried out by the Health Ministry’s National Forensic Medicine Center, along with the police, at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.Though the bodies arrived back in Israel late at night, many people went out to line roads along the route as a mark of respect that also has been shown for other deceased hostages upon their return.The return of the four bodies marks the final handover of the first stage of the ceasefire deal reached in January, which saw 33 Israeli hostages returned to Israel, 25 of whom were alive and eight who were killed, as well as five Thai citizens.President Isaac Herzog said that the hearts of Israelis ache “upon receiving the bitter news of the identification of Ohad Yahalomi, Tsachi Idan, Itzik Elgarat and Shlomo Mantzur.”He wrote that there is “some solace” in knowing they will be buried with dignity in Israel.The return of the slain hostages “underscores our moral obligation to do everything in our power to bring back all the hostages,” Herzog said. “They are all humanitarian cases, and they must all be returned.”Ohad Yahalomi-In a statement, Kibbutz Nir Oz said that “Ohad, who was 50 at the time of his death, was a devoted and loving family man. He was a passionate sportsman and an avid traveler, intimately familiar with every trail and path in the desert he so dearly loved.”Yahalomi was kidnapped at age 49, and turned 50 in April 2024. He was killed at some point in the past 10 months.“For years, he worked at the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, dedicating his life to the preservation of nature. Out of his deep love for the desert, he co-authored a scorpion field guide with partners and was involved in educational initiatives within the Bedouin community.”Ohad, a dual French-Israeli citizen, is survived by his wife and three young children.“We will always remember him as a man of values, filled with compassion, a lover of people and the land. May his memory be a blessing,” the kibbutz said.Ohad’s family said in their own statement that they “are hurting and still struggling to believe.”French President Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X responding to confirmation of Yahalomi’s death that “the barbaric acts of Hamas must end.”“I share the immense pain of his family and loved ones,” he wrote. “France lost 50 of its children in the infamy of October 7.”As terrorists poured into the kibbutz on the morning of the attack, Ohad decided to sit outside the family’s sealed room door with a handgun, as the door handle of the room was not locking properly.After he was shot, the gunmen hurried Ohad’s wife, Batsheva Yahalomi, and their three children out of the house and onto mopeds. At some point, Batsheva and her two daughters were able to run away, while Ohad and their 12-year-old son, Eitan, were taken hostage. Eitan was released on November 27 as part of a temporary ceasefire deal.Itzik Elgarat-Kibbutz Nir Oz expressed “deep pain and sorrow” at the confirmation of the death of Elgarat on Thursday.It said Elgarat, who was abducted at 68, “came to Nir Oz following his brother and became a beloved figure in the community. For years, he served the kibbutz with dedication as a groundskeeper and was responsible for plumbing, gas, and steam maintenance.“He was an integral part of the social fabric, loved spending time at the local pub, hosting friends, and connecting different generations. His great love for soccer and backgammon was well known, and he shone in local games, always with a smile and a warm spirit.”He is survived by two children, a brother, and two sisters.“We will remember him for his laughter, his big heart, and his willingness to always be there for anyone in need,” the kibbutz said.Itzik was shot and injured inside the safe room of his home and called his brother Danny to ask for help, but the conversation was cut off.Six months later, the family was told that Itzik was still alive, but injured. A hostage released in November 2023 told the family that Elgarat had been shot in the hand and given medical treatment for the injury, the Kan public broadcaster reported.Last week, Itzik’s brother Danny told the Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee that his brother had died of starvation.Tsahi Idan-Tsahi Idan, 49 at the time of his kidnapping, was taken captive by Hamas terrorists from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, after his oldest daughter, Maayan, 18, was shot and killed through the safe room door.The terrorists held Tsahi, his wife, Gali, and their two other children hostage in the house for some time before grabbing Tsahi and dragging him to Gaza.The attack on the family’s home was filmed by the terrorists using Gali’s phone and live-streamed by them to her Facebook account, as the weeping children were seen asking about their dead sister and whether they too would be killed. As the family sat together on the floor trying to comfort each other, Tsahi, his hands covered in blood from Maayan, was also seen asking if he could attend to his daughter, a request the terrorists refused.Gali and the two children survived.“The unbearable journey of our family to bring back our beloved and precious Tsahi from the hell of Gaza has come to an end,” the family said in a statement.“Tsahi was abducted while on his feet, and we received several signs of life from him,” it said. “As of the November 2023 deal, he was still alive and was expected to be released.”“Tsahi will be laid to rest alongside his beloved daughter, Maayan, who was murdered on October 7 while trying to help her father protect the shelter door.”Shlomo Mantzur-Israeli authorities confirmed that Shlomo Mantzur’s body had been identified, after they had declared his death earlier this month.Shlomo, 85, was murdered during his abduction from Kibbutz Kissufim on October 7, 2023.“Shlomo is brought home after 510 days,” said the Hostages Families Forum in a statement, describing him as an “was an energetic and cheerful man dedicated to giving, a polymath with a strong work ethic.”Born in Baghdad in 1938, he survived the Farhud pogrom in Iraq and immigrated to Israel in 1951 at age 13, becoming one of the founders of Kibbutz Kissufim, where he worked for years in the chicken coop, as well as at an eyewear factory, and learned carpentry as a hobby.He is survived by his wife, Mazal, five children, 12 grandchildren, and five siblings.Mazal said that her husband was abducted in his pajamas after terrorists opened fire on the door of the safe room of their home at the kibbutz. In a May 2024 Channel 12 television interview, she said she last saw him being taken away, handcuffed, by several terrorists. Channel 12 reported that he was driven away in his own car. Mazal managed to flee to a neighbor’s home.Earlier this month, Israeli authorities told the family that they had assessed he was killed later that day. His death was declared by a panel of health experts and members of the rabbinate, following intelligence the IDF said it obtained in recent months.The return of the four bodies, the last of the multi-phased ceasefire’s initial stage, which saw the return to Israel of 33 hostages, 25 of them living, began late Wednesday night, when their bodies were first handed over to the Red Cross, and then later to Israel.
