#Israel - Netanyahu calls UK arms suspension to Israel ‘shameful’ | BBC News

3 September 2024

The UK has defended its decision to suspend some arms sales to Israel. On 2 September, it suspended around 30 out of 350 weapons export licences to Israel, saying there is a "clear risk" the equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international law. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the decision "shameful", saying on social media that it "will only embolden Hamas". But UK Defence Secretary John Healey insisted the UK remained a "staunch ally" of Israel, telling the BBC Israel's security would not be weakened by the decision. Husam Zomlot, the Palestinians' top envoy to the UK, called the partial ban an “important first step” to the UK’s fulfilment of its “legal obligations under domestic and international law”.

#russia #ukraine - 'Too risky'? Ukraine says West should permit long-range attacks in Russia • FRANCE 24 English

3 September 2024

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday Ukraine's Western allies should not only allow their weapons to be used for strikes deep inside Russia, but also supply Kyiv with more of the arms themselves.

Ukraine has long urged partners to allow it to fire Western weapons at targets far into enemy territory, and those calls have grown louder as Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian energy installations, other infrastructure and residential buildings intensify.

"Putin couldn't control the Russian media and the war bloggers on this, it's all over Russia that the Ukrainians did this."

Russia's strike on Poltava appears to have been carefully targeted as just two missiles were used to hit a facility in the city killing almost fifty people, Zach Anders tells

At least 40 people have been killed and 180 injured after two Russian ballistic missiles hit a military training facility and hospital in a central Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky says.

On February 21, 1987, General Intelligence and the RAID carried out a "punch" operation to besiege an isolated farm in the Loiret, thus putting an end to far-left terrorism in France.

This action was the result of five years of relentless pursuit led by magistrate François MATTÉI, determined Prosecutor. This film tells the story of the men who waged this shadow war, revealing the incredible secrets of European terrorism in the 1980s.

It also highlights how highly motivated militants were sometimes manipulated by intelligence services and “foreign interests” to serve causes beyond them.

How it all started

The War in Donbass (also known as the War in Ukraine or War in Eastern Ukraine) is an ongoing armed conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine. From the beginning of March 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, together commonly called the "Donbass", in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Euromaidan movement. These demonstrations, part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated into an armed conflict between the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the Ukrainian government Prior to a change of the top leadership in August, the separatists were largely led by Russian citizens. Russian paramilitaries are reported to make up from 15% to 80% of the combatants.

#israel #Netanyahu - Israeli ex-PM Olmert says Netanyahu ultimately to blame for death of hostages • FRANCE 24 English

3 September 2024

In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was ultimately to blame for the shocking death of six more hostages in Gaza over the weekend. Israel says the six hostages were "brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists", something the group denies. "They were killed by Hamas," Olmert said. But "Netanyahu is responsible for the erosion that led to the killing of these six people, and the killing of many others that were found before, and the ones that will be killed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow", he added.
