âAn Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time,â he went on. âEvery Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.â
Trump said he was asking âall innocent Palestiniansâ to leave areas of Gaza that are under siege by Israel âfor safer parts of Gaza.â
âI believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR,â he said.
Trump added that Russiaâs war in Ukraine would end âquicklyâ if those steps were taken.
CNN has reported that the European Union imposed a ban on maritime Russian oil imports and refined oil products like diesel, but many countries continue to import Russian fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas.
Our goal remains a safe and secure Israel, alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state. But right now â that goal is under pressure like never before.
Iâve always said we will recognise a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process, at the moment of maximum impact for the Two State Solution.
With that solution now under threat, this is the moment to act.
So today â as part of this process towards peace I can confirm the UK will recognise the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term, sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a Two State Solution.
Keir Starmer says the UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a UN meeting in September unless Israel meets certain conditions
He says the recognition will happen unless the Israeli government takes „substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza“, including a ceasefire and a commitment to a long-term peace process
President Trump has given Tehran a two-month window to negotiate a new nuclear deal, as Axios reported, and has raised the threat of military strikes on Iran‘s nuclear program if no deal is reached.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his team think the odds of a deal are low, and want to align on a joint course of action should things escalate to military force, one of the Israeli officials said.
This will be the first meeting of the U.S.-Israel Strategic Consultative Group (SCG) since Trump assumed office.
Washington. US-PrĂ€sident Donald Trumps Plan, im groĂen Stil Bundesbedienstete zur KĂŒndigung zu drĂ€ngen, stöĂt auf juristischen Widerstand. Ein Bundesrichter hat am Donnerstag vorerst eine Frist ausgesetzt, nach der sich Bundesbedienstete bis Donnerstag entscheiden mussten, ob sie das Angebot der Regierung annehmen, wie mehrere US-Medien ĂŒbereinstimmend berichteten. Der Richter setzte demnach eine neue Anhörung fĂŒr Montag an.
This contradictory approach has led to what one senior UN official described as âa train crash waiting to happen.â The suffering of the Palestinian population, particularly in Gaza, will increase dramatically as UNRWA, the backbone of the humanitarian operation, crumbles without an alternative structure in place. The educational and health sector in the West Bank will also fall into dire straits, with no viable alternatives available.
As part of Israelâs expulsion of UNRWA from its East Jerusalem headquarters on Jan. 30, the government will most likely confiscate the agencyâs buildings and transform the site into a Jewish settlement, blatantly violating international law.
Israel has ordered the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) to shut down its operations in Jerusalem and vacate all premises by 30 January, according to a letter sent by Israelâs envoy to UN secretary general Antonio Guterres on Friday.
Israel hat das UN-PalĂ€stinenserhilfswerk UNRWA aufgefordert, seine Arbeit in Jerusalem bis zum 30. Januar einzustellen und die Stadt zu verlassen. UNRWA sei âverpflichtet, seine TĂ€tigkeit in Jerusalem einzustellen und alle RĂ€umlichkeiten, in denen es in der Stadt tĂ€tig ist, bis spĂ€testens 30. Januar 2025 zu rĂ€umenâ, forderte der israelische UN-Botschafter Danny Danon in einem Brief an UN-GeneralsekretĂ€r AntĂłnio Guterres. Das Schreiben lag der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vor.

What‘s happening to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? The extreme mood swings reflected in both his statements and body language attest to pressure, psychological distress and loss of his senses. He quickly slips into the mindset of paranoid tyrants who live in a bubble, divorced from reality.
The bill, submitted by coalition chairman Ofir Katz, states that only the cabinet can declare a prime minister unfit or incapacitated by a two-thirds majority, and that in some cases, such a declaration would require approval by a majority of 90 lawmakers. Moreover, a declaration of incapacitation would apply to incompetence for health reasons only.
The bill is being advanced in response to the Movement for Quality Government in Israelâs petition to the High Court asking to declare Netanyahu unfit for office over a conflict of interest due to the ongoing criminal proceedings against him.
(10 February 2023)
The High Court of Justice on Friday gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu one month to respond to a petition to declare him unfit for office and force him to take a leave of absence.
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel petitioned the court on Thursday, arguing that Netanyahu is in violation of a conflict of interest arrangement that bars him from involvement in matters that could impact his ongoing trial on graft charges.
In addition, a few moments before Netanyahu announced his decision to back Gantz for the position, he apparently was made aware that Bennett held his first meeting with Mansour Abbas – the leader of the Islamist Ra‘am party – in an effort to form a unity government.
Hours before the High Court of Justice was due to decide on the legality of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s attempts to install a justice minister from his own party, the premier announced Wednesday afternoon he supports the appointment of Blue & White leader Benny Gantz for the position.
In a statement Netanyahu said, „The prime minister submitted a detailed response to the High Court that completely rejects the court‘s claim that yesterday‘s vote was illegal.“
„However,“ Netanyahu said, „after the prime minister‘s attempts at compromise were rejected again this morning, and in order to extract us from this dead end situation and allow the Justice Ministry to function, the prime minister decided to appoint Benny Gantz to the post of Justice Minister for the tenure of the interim government.“
Netanyahu‘s refusal to appoint a justice minister is a direct assault on this nation. It is that simple.
His reasoning is also simple: Netanyahu does not want to fill the role with someone who is not subservient and willing to go along with coordinated efforts to escape his bribery trial.
Rather, it is the public danger he constitutes and his conspiring to topple state institutions. Ordinary criminal defendants who behaved as Netanyahu has would have long since been ordered to remain in custody for the duration of legal proceedings, lest they obstruct the investigation and trial, and for disobeying a court order. But we canât complain to Netanyahu about it, when the court itself gives him license to harm it.
The High Court of Justice was to convene at 5pm Tuesday after the government failed to appoint a justice minister within the time frame allocated by the court.
The latest attempt to end the deadlock over the appointment of the minister failed when the government voted down a move by Blue & White leader Benny Gantz to return to the ministry on a permanent basis.
The justice minister post has remained empty since Gantz‘s term as acting justice minister lapsed on April 1. The appointment of a justice minister is a particularly sensitive issue, given that Netanyahu is currently amid an ongoing corruption trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
