ישראל מזהירת את מצרים: "הזדמנות אחרונה" לעסקת השחרור לפני פלישה לרפיח
Israeli officials told their Egyptian counterparts on Friday that Israel is ready to give hostage negotiations "one last chance" to reach a deal with Hamas, but if there isn't progress soon it will move forward with a ground invasion of Rafah, two senior Israeli officials said.
The Egyptians are increasingly concerned about a possible Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah and are making a last minute push for a hostage deal that would lead to a ceasefire in Gaza and stop an invasion of Rafah.
Egyptian officials have raised concerns that an Israeli operati… קרא עוד

הממשלה של סקוטלנד מתמוטטת עקב כשל בהשגת מטרות לשינויי אקלים שנקבעו
The first minister has ended the SNP's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Green Party.
The chaos unfolded last week after the first minister admitted Scotland won’t meet its climate targets, which had called for a 75% reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions compared to 1990 by 2030 as a milepost on the way to net zero by 2045. The government is all but giving up, abandoning concrete annual emissions goals in favor of vaguer multiyear emissions “budgets.”

Gaza-based militants launched mortar rounds on Wednesday at Israeli forces making preparations for the U.S.-led effort to establish a new maritime aid route for Gaza, according to three U.S. officials.
No American equipment was damaged as the U.S.-led project — which will establish a pier a few miles offshore as well as a causeway anchored to the beach to expand access to humanitarian aid — is not yet complete, said one of the officials. All were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive plans.

טנקים אמריקאים נסוגים ממלחמת אוקראינה
Washington pledged 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in January last year. The first batch arrived in September. They finally appeared to make their combat debut in February this year, with the first video footage released on the 25th of Februray. On the 26th, the Russians scored their first Abrams kill.
Two months after entering service, the Abrams tanks are now being withdrawn from the frontline. Five of the 31 tanks delivered last year have already been destroyed.
The Ukraines are misusing the tanks.
Its ability to maneuver at high speed and pack a huge punch gives it a battle winning role.

Green party ministers in Germany have been accused of lying about safety issues at the country’s nuclear power plants to ensure they were shut down, even as the war in Ukraine threatened European energy supplies.
A German media outlet has accused Green ministers in the country’s coalition government of covering up key technical reports that suggested keeping the nuclear plants open would have lessened the country’s energy squeeze in 2022.

פולין תעביר אנשים אוקראיניים חזרה למולדתם בשביל מלחמה
Poland has suggested it will help transfer Ukrainian men of fighting age back to their homeland, as Kyiv seeks to shore up its depleted armed forces.
Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the defence minister of Poland, said he was ready to take whatever steps necessary to move tens of thousands of men of military fighting age back to Ukraine.
“We have suggested for a long time that we can help the Ukrainian side ensure that people subject to compulsory military service go to Ukraine,” he told Polsat, a Polish TV network.
Asked if this would involve a request from Ukraine to transport men of fighting age, he added: “Everything is possible.”
It was not immediately clear what steps Poland might take to transfer the Ukrainians, such as deportation or a bilateral agreement with Kyiv.

The delivery of the adapted bombs to Ukraine in late January was met with widespread enthusiasm, with military experts suggesting it could force Russia to relocate supplies farther from the front lines.
But William LaPlante, the Pentagon’s weapon’s acquisition chief, said: “We sent it to the Ukrainians. It didn’t work. It didn’t work for multiple reasons including EMI [Electromagnetic interference… קרא עוד

The threat of deportation to Rwanda is causing migrants to head for Ireland instead of staying in Britain, Ireland's deputy prime minister told a British newspaper on Friday.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's flagship programme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda if they arrive in Britain illegally was approved by parliament earlier this week and the government wants the first flights to take off in 10-12 weeks.
Deputy Prime Minister Micheal Martin told The Daily Telegraph that the policy was already affecting Ireland because people were "fearful" of staying in Britain.
