بينهن فتيات و دعماً لفلسطين ولبنان… الأمن المصري يعتقل عدداً من المواطنين خلال وقفة سلمية رصدت الشبكة المصرية لحقوق الإنسان، بناءً على شهادات شهود عيان، قيام قوات الأمن المصري ليلة أمس الاثنين 7 أكتوبر 2024، بإلقاء القبض على عدد من المواطنين، أغلبهم من الشباب، خلال وقفة سلمية لدعم الأشقاء في لبنان وفلسطين ورفضاً للمجازر الصهيونية

وكانت قوات الأمن المصرية قد فضت الوقفة السلمية التي نظمها عدد من المواطنين على كورنيش النيل في القاهرة، حيث كانوا يحملون أعلام البلدين ولافتات ورقية تندد بالمجازر وتدعم الشعبين اللبناني والفلسطيني. وقد تم القبض على المشاركين في الوقفة بينهن عددا من الفتيات واقتيادهم إلى أحد أقسام الشرطة بالقاهرة، ويجري حالياً رصد وتوثيق أسماء المعتقلين.
يُذكر أن السلطات المصرية ما زالت تحتجز عدداً كبيراً من المواطنين الذين تم اعتقالهم في أكتوبر من العام الماضي، أثناء المظاهرات التي اندلعت في القاهرة والإسكندرية في نهاية الشهر ذاته، بناءً على دعوة الرئيس عبد الفتاح السيسي، حيث تم اعتقال العشرات وحبسهم احتياطياً حتى الآن.
تدين الشبكة المصرية لحقوق الإنسان اعتقال المواطنين الذين يعبرون سلمياً عن دعمهم للأشقاء في فلسطين المحتلة ولبنان، ورفضهم للحرب على البلدين، وتطالب بسرعة الإفراج عنهم.

According to the London-based Egyptian Network for Human Rights, a small group of young people held a protest on the Nile Corniche in Cairo on Monday, carrying Palestinian and Lebanese flags and banners condemning the deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza and Lebanon.

“The Egyptian Network for Human Rights condemns the arrest of citizens peacefully expressing their support for their brothers and sisters in occupied Palestine and Lebanon and their opposition to the war on both countries, and calls for their immediate release,” the group said in a statement shared with Middle East Eye.

Turkey excludes $2.5 bln Russian S-400 missiles from new air defense system project

(August 9, 2024)

In an earlier statement in 2020 to CNN Türk, Russian Ambassador to Turkey Alexei Yerkhov said, ‘Whether [the system] is used or not is a decision for the country that owns it. Turkey purchased the product they wanted from us. The owner of this system is Turkey. It is entirely dependent on what Turkey decides. Whether you go to the beach with it, carry potatoes or mount a machine gun on it for war, keeping it in the ‘garage’ is your right.”

Turkish president condemns Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, calls for global action

Erdogan criticized the international community for enabling Israel‘s actions, saying that as Tel Aviv continues to receive „weapons and ammunition support from its backers,“ it becomes „increasingly reckless, defying all humanity, humanitarian values, and international law.“

He stressed that Israel‘s „politics of madness,“ already seen in Gaza and Ramallah, must not be allowed to spread to Lebanon and other countries in the region.

„No person of conscience can accept, justify, or deem such a massacre legitimate,“ he said.

Media In Tehran Accuse Russia, Syria Of Betraying IRGC

(10.04.2024)

In an editorial on April 8, Masih Mohajeri, the influential managing editor of Jomhouri Eslami daily, a newspaper that was founded by Ali Khamenei in 1979, asked: „Why Russia, which controls the Syrian airspace does not prevent air strikes on Iranian targets in Syria?“ Also implicating Syria and possibly Iranian infiltrators in tipping off the Israelis, Mohajeri wrote: „We have had too many losses in Syria during the past months and this is certainly because of the treason by infiltrators.“

Since December, Israel has eliminated 18 high ranking IRGC officers in Syria, in what appears to be a systematic campaign to limit the danger of Iranian proxies on its borders.

The Truth About Israel, Iran and 1980s U.S. Arms Deals

(Nov. 26, 2010)

In the aforesaid period Netanyahu served as deputy to Moshe Arens, when he was Israel‘s ambassador to Washington, D.C. (1982-83 ).

(…)

The recently revealed documents deal with an operation dubbed „Tipped Kettle,“ involving weapons the Israel Defense Forces looted from the Palestine Liberation Organization during Operation Peace for Galilee in Lebanon, and their transfer to the Contras – opponents of the socialistic Sandinista regime in Nicaragua.

(…)

Part II was patently illegal – a blatant effort by the White House to violate a Congressional order and to cook up a strange deal involving the sale of American weapons (originally supplied to the IDF ) to anti-American Iran, for use in its war with Iraq; the release of Western hostages being held in Lebanon by Iranian-controlled Hezbollah; and the financing of Contras‘ activities thanks to the difference between the sum paid by the Iranians and the true value of the weapons – minus a profit for those engaged in the deal.

(…)

The CIA had direct intelligence connections with the Mossad, but in the affair of the captured weapons the American agency preferred to hide behind the Pentagon.

Bundesregierung: Wir wissen nicht, wer iranisches Botschaftsgelände in Syrien angegriffen hat

Bei der Regierungspressekonferenz am 3. April war auch der israelische Angriff gegen das iranische Botschaftsgelände in Damaskus, bei dem mindestens 13 Personen starben, darunter mehrere Diplomaten sowie der Brigadegeneral Mohammad Reza Zahedi und dessen Stellvertreter, ein Thema. Die Bundesregierung vertrat in der BPK die Linie, dass man nicht wisse, wer für die Tat verantwortlich sei, daher könnte man auch keine Wertung vornehmen. Dies, obwohl bereits einen Tag zuvor das US-Verteidigungsministerium offiziell eingeräumt hatte, dass es sich bei dem Militärschlag um eine israelische Operation gehandelt habe. Wohl einer der seltenen Fälle, in denen die Bundesregierung nicht der Einschätzung der USA folgt.

Israels Regierungs-Gang will den Angriffskrieg gegen Iran, nicht dessen Abzug aus Syrien

(12.05.2018)

Ein Abzug der iranischen und libanesischen Einheiten aus dem Syrien-Krieg wäre für Netanjahu, der dringend einen Krieg und eine fiktive oder tatsächliche äußere Bedrohung Israels braucht um dort an der Macht zu bleiben, ein echtes Problem.

Nach der von den Staatsführungen Russland und Syriens orchestrierten Einladung an Israels Regierungs-Gang Syrien zu bombardieren, was unmittelbar dem Besuch von Benjamin Netanjahu in Moskau folgte, gab die syrische Armee schließlich zu, selbst den Golan angegriffen zu haben und nicht iranische Einheiten. Radio Utopie empfahl diesbezüglich gestern:

“Die Hisbollah und die Staatsführung des Iran sollten ihre Truppen aus Syrien zurückziehen und Assad zum Teufel und / oder Putin gehen lassen.”

It is also possible, in fact, true, that Russia‘s foreign policy towards Israel and Palestine at the present time is entirely motivated by Russian priorities.

This means that Moscow cannot be taken for granted as a Palestinian ally, and an outright recognition by Moscow of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is not entirely off the table.
