IDF mobilizing 2 reserve brigades to north signaling possible ground war in Lebanon
The mobilized reserve brigades are integrated armored-infantry brigades that have previously been mobilized in this war, and will return to increase the defensive operations in the Galilee Division, as well as participating in a ground invasion of Lebanon if one begins.
Earlier on Wednesday Northern Command head Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin said Israel has ‚entered a different stage of the campaign‘ and threatened a ground entry into Lebanon, after another morning with dozens of rockets launched in attacks on areas of northern Israel, and waves of Israel Air Force attacks from the air throughout Lebanon, including north and south of Beirut.
Final Version of Mobilization Bill Approved, Ukraine’s Soldiers ‘Not Happy’ About It
However, at the same time, the rule on demobilization after 36 months of service disappeared from the final version. (…)
The military members, who have been serving since 2022, were waiting for this provision, wrote DPSU officer Maksym Nesmyanov.
“This is a disaster… How could it be possible to promise demobilization to soldiers from December 2023, only to abandon them at the end!!! You can‘t take away hope from soldiers that they will return home,” Nesmyanov wrote on Facebook.
«Nur einen Schritt vom Dritten Weltkrieg entfernt» – Blick ordnet seine Drohung ein: Bläst Putin nach dem Wahlsieg zum grossen Angriff?
Das Problem allerdings sind die russischen Soldaten, von denen laut dem britischen Verteidigungsministerium schätzungsweise 70’000 getötet und 250’000 verwundet worden sind. Viele Russen befürchten daher eine neue Mobilmachung. «Putin weiss zwar um die gesellschaftlichen Risiken einer solch unpopulären Massnahme, dennoch ist eine neue Teilmobilmachung in den nächsten Monaten wahrscheinlich», meint Schmid. Hunderttausende von Reservisten könnten eingezogen und an die Front in der Ukraine geschickt werden.
Israeli Military Chief Says Lebanon War Likely in Coming Months
Lt. Gen Halevi said he believes Israel will be starting the war with more advantages than in the past, and that lessons learned in Gaza will be applied to the situation in Lebanon. Tens of thousands of troops are reportedly being readied for the new offensive.
The comments echo those of Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, the head of northern forces, who said earlier this week that he believes the troops are “ready” for the war in Lebanon, and could start “tonight, if necessary.”
Der üble Trickser #Scholz hat auf dem #EU Gipfel dafür gesorgt daß der korrupte #Orban nicht an der Abstimmung über Beitrittsverhandlungen mit der Restukraine teilnimmt. Orban hat dafür 10 Milliarden € kassiert; das Prinzip der Einstimmigkeit konnte so pro forma gewahrt werden.
So it seems 10 billion euros will buy you a „constructive abstention“ from Orban, where he maintains his position formally (both to save face and maintain his national narrative) but does not prevent the EU and the other Member States from moving forward.

Viktor Orbán über den EU-Beitritt der Ukraine: absurd, lächerlich, leichtsinnig
Die Regierung vertrete den Standpunkt, dass eine rasche Aufnahme der Ukraine unvorhersehbare Folgen hätte und weder den Interessen Ungarns noch der EU diene,
so Viktor Orbán.
Die Ukraine sei von den Bedingungen für eine EU-Mitgliedschaft weit entfernt, betonte er. Es gebe keinen Präzedenzfall dafür, dass die EU Verhandlungen mit einem Land aufnimmt, das sich im Krieg befindet.

Fears of another Palestinian exodus reverberate across the Middle East
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said last week that a transfer of Palestinians from Gaza would likely be followed by a similar “expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank to Jordan.” Jordan’s foreign minister later said such a move would be considered a declaration of “war.”
Commentators on Arab media outlets have warned that Israel may be planning to de-populate the Gaza Strip of Palestinians and even re-occupy it.
Displacing Palestinians from West Bank is ‚red line‘, declaration of war: Jordan FM
Such efforts by Israel „is a red line for Jordan, as we will confront it with all our capabilities because it is a violation of international law,“ Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi said during an emergency parliamentary session on Gaza.
He added that displacing people from one occupied territory to another would be a war crime, in reference to Palestinians in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and thus „a declaration of war“ by Amman, which established ties with Israel in 1994.

Niger’s junta gains the upper hand over the regional bloc threatening military force, analysts say
On Thursday, the bloc ordered the deployment of a “standby” force to restore constitutional rule in Niger, with Nigeria, Benin, Senegal and Ivory Coast saying they would contribute troops.
But it’s unclear when, how or if the troops will deploy. The move could take weeks or months to set into motion, and while the bloc decides what to do the junta is gaining power, some observers say.
