Russian Senator: European leaders' stance conflicts int'l law
Moscow - Saba: Commenting on French President Emmanuel Macron's statements regarding the illegality of the US strikes on Iran, Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov stated that the positions of European leaders have always been inconsistent with international law. Pushkov wrote on his Telegram channel, according to Sputnik: "Macron harshly attacked (US President Donald) Trump, saying his strikes on Iran were illegal, but this sarcasm was limited. Macron said that France agrees with the goals of the United States. In other words, if the United States acts outside the law on the world stage, this is illegal, but acceptable to the West." He continued: "(German Chancellor Friedrich) Merz thinks the same way. The position of European leaders has always been contrary to international law." He added: "Regarding the issue of World War III, some media professionals enjoy talking about its beginning, as if they are eagerly awaiting it. Some of them, who lack sufficient patience, have even spotted the beginning of this war in the Middle East. But is there any basis for this? World wars have been characterized by the participation of a large number of countries from different continents, in addition to the massive armed forces of at least two sides." According to Pushkov, during the First and Second World Wars, alliances of countries fought in Europe, Africa, and Asia, but in the Middle East, we don't see anything like that now. He explained that "there are no longer large-scale alliances, and the nature of warfare has changed." The Russian senator pointed out that "Israel and Iran are fighting, exchanging threats, missile attacks, and bombs, but neither is capable of occupying the other." Pushkov said, "The United States joined the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but it is unlikely that it would be willing to send its army there and occupy Iran. But even if it came to that and the Americans made such an attempt, firstly, the success of the United States is not guaranteed, and secondly, this would not be the beginning of a third world war. It would be a regional war between the United States and Israel against Iran and its close allies or pro-Iranian formations in Iraq." According to the Russian senator, given the limited scope of the confrontation, the Middle East cannot become the "cradle" of World War III. Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities "have no legal basis, but France agrees with them in their goal." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Tulkarm mayor: Enemy commits theft crimes
Tulkarm - Saba: Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil revealed that the Zionist enemy forces are committing daily crimes against the Palestinian people in the Tulkarm Governorate. These crimes include the theft of money and valuables from homes during raids, in addition to humiliating practices against citizens during arrests and detentions. In a press statement issued Tuesday morning, Kamil emphasized that these violations are no longer limited to destruction, vandalism, and the demolition of homes, but have now also included organized theft and deliberate humiliation, in a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a direct targeting of the dignity and steadfastness of the Palestinian people, amid the ongoing enemy aggression. He called on the international community, human rights, and humanitarian organizations, to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities and urgently intervene to stop these crimes and hold the enemy accountable for its violations. He pointed out that the enemy is exploiting the international community's preoccupation with the ongoing events in the region to escalate its aggression against the West Bank, particularly in the Tulkarm Governorate, amidst a disturbing international silence. He emphasized that the Palestinian people will not surrender to these practices, and that the competent authorities in the governorate continue to document the violations and submit them to human rights organizations. He called on the media to shed light on these crimes and convey the voice of our people to the world. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Hamas: Over fifty starving civilians killed by occupation forces this morning
Doha – SABA: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed the ongoing daily massacres by the Zionist occupation army near the American-Zionist-controlled aid distribution points in the Gaza Strip. Hamas described these attacks as one of the most heinous crimes of modern times, luring starving civilians into death traps before opening fire on them. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas said that more than fifty starving civilians were killed this morning by the fascist occupation army while they were waiting in hopes of obtaining food for their children. These victims are added to nearly 500 martyrs who have died at similar aid distribution sites in southern and central Gaza. The movement emphasized that continued silence in the face of this horrific crime, which is being committed in full view of the world, is unacceptable. It held the international community, the United Nations, and its institutions responsible for stopping these crimes and activating mechanisms to hold occupation leaders accountable for crimes against humanity. Hamas called for a comprehensive international, Arab, and Islamic move to pressure for an end to the ongoing genocide against the people of Gaza, and to ensure the entry of humanitarian aid in accordance with approved UN mechanisms, away from the criminal control of the occupation.
