Und der Wählerwille? „Sondervermögen” soll noch durch abgewählten Bundestag gepeitscht werden

(February 28, 2025)

Die abgewählte und nur geschäftsführend tätige Bundesregierung aus SPD und Grünen plant, in Absprache mit der CDU, ein Sondervermögen für die weitere Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr, die Rede ist von 200 Milliarden Euro, noch durch den alten und ebenfalls abgewählten Bundestag zu peitschen. Hintergrund: Im sich bald neu konstituierenden Bundestag bringen CDU, SPD und Grüne nicht mehr die für die Abstimmung notwendige Zweidrittelmehrheit auf. AfD und Linke verfügen dann über eine Sperrminorität.

Over 1,000 Reported Killed, Mostly Civilians, as HTS Syrian Forces Attack Alawites

Some of the militias may indeed hold loyalty to former Assad-era Maj. Gen. Suhayl al-Hassan, but the claim of the hundreds of civilians being loyalists stretches credibility. Indications are that the executions aren’t being done on the basis of any loyalty test, but rather that any Alawites in the Alawite-heavy region are the target.
(…)
International reaction has been mixed. The UN has urged calm and the Red Cross have emphasized the need to ensure access to health facilities in the effected areas, while Kuwait and Bahrain have both offered statements of support for the HTS, condemning the Alawite militias as “outlaws” and accusing them of threatening the stability of the Syrian state.

Beobachtungsstelle meldet mehr als 1.000 Tote in Syrien

Die neuen Machthaber erklärten, sie hätten auf Angriffe von Überresten der Assad-Truppen reagiert und machten „individuelle Aktionen“ für die ausufernde Gewalt verantwortlich.

Laut anderen Berichten sind bewaffnete Unterstützer der Übergangsregierung dafür verantwortlich. Sie sollen sich Befehlen aus Damaskus widersetzt haben. Das syrische Staatsfernsehen berichtete dagegen, Unbekannte hätten sich mit Uniformen der Regierungstruppen verkleidet und die Taten begangen, um einen Bürgerkrieg anzustiften.

2 days of clashes and revenge killings in Syria leave more than 1,000 people dead

“It was very very bad. Bodies were on the streets,” as he was fleeing, Sheha said, speaking by phone from nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from the city. He said the gunmen were gathering less than 100 meters from his apartment building, firing randomly at homes and residents and in at least one incident he knows of, asked residents for their IDs to check their religion and their sect before killing them. He said the gunmen also burned some homes and stole cars and robbed homes.

Albanese: Israel’s actions in Palestine constitute genocide, calls for Israel’s suspension from the UN

Albanese went on to clarify that UNRWA cannot disappear because it is a UN body protected by international law. „Member states cannot eliminate it by changing laws or cutting funding, as Israel and other countries have attempted. The rights of Palestinian refugees will remain intact because those rights are codified in international law.“

She also raised the issue of Israel’s violations against the UN, citing the destruction of 70% of UN premises in Gaza and the targeting of UNRWA schools, which had been sheltering refugees. „Israel has violated the UN Charter, and it must be held accountable for its actions. I have called for the suspension of Israel‘s credentials in the UN because of its disregard for international rules and laws. Israel has destroyed or damaged UN premises, targeted shelters, and accused the UN of terrorism.“

What is Egypt’s $53bn plan for Gaza reconstruction?

(March 4, 2025)

According to the plan, Egypt and Jordan will train Palestinian police forces in preparation for their deployment in Gaza.

The plan, however, states that this effort may include other countries in the future to provide political and financial support.

Then it proposes that the United Nations Security Council should consider the idea of “an international presence” in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

This, the plan states, could involve the deployment of international protection or peacekeeping forces, as part of the rebuilding process.
