King delivers address at European Parliament
Ammon News - His Majesty King Abdullah II delivered an address at the European Parliament's headquarters in Strasbourg, France on Tuesday. In the address, His Majesty noted that with Israel expanding its offensive to include Iran, it is now impossible to know where the boundaries of this battle will end, threatening people everywhere. The King said that what is happening in Gaza is contrary to international law, moral standards and shared values, especially as violations continue in the West Bank, and the situation is worsening by the day. His Majesty noted that Palestinians deserve the rights to freedom and sovereignty, and to establish their own independent state. The King said the world is experiencing wave after wave of turmoil, becoming 'untethered—like it has lost its moral gravity', noting that these junctures of history are critical moments that require the world to cling to its values and not abandon them. His Majesty added that true security lies not in the power of armies, but in the power of shared values, and peace imposed by force or fear will never last. The King touched on the founding of the European Union, when Europe's choices helped shape a more stable, principled world, highlighting that Jordan's firm belief in the shared values of the three monotheistic religions is rooted in its history and heritage, which drives the Kingdom's national principles of tolerance and mutual respect. His Majesty added that these values are at the heart of the Hashemite Custodianship of Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, whose historical and multi-religious identity Jordan has vowed to protect from any attack.

Video: Iranian missile hits former Israeli Minister's home in direct strike
ALBAWABA - On the seventh day of the conflict between Iran and Israel, an Iranian rocket hit the home of former Environment Minister Dani Naveh, who is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. This was a dramatic increase in the tensions. Also Read Israel's Soroka hospital hit in latest Iranian missile barrage Iran's most recent round of missile attacks, which began early Thursday morning, hit several major Israeli towns directly, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Holon, and Be'er Sheva. The attacks caused a lot of damage. Explosions shook cities, destroying buildings and hurting many people. One of the places that was damaged directly was the Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva. The hospital had to close because so many areas were damaged so badly. Israeli Army Radio said that at least one person was seriously hurt and another was hurt moderately in Holon. In Ramat Gan, about 15 people were hurt. Damage was also done to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange building in Ramat Gan. But Iranian sources said that reports that the hospital was the main target were not true. Iranian media say the missile attack was directed at a nearby center for military intelligence. It was meant to hit the IDF C4I command center and the Military Intelligence Base in the Gav-Yam Negev technology park, which is home to advanced cyber warfare systems and cyber operations infrastructure. They said the hospital was nothing more than a victim of the blast wave. Just hours before the Iranian rocket attack, Israeli planes attacked the site of the IR-40 nuclear reactor near Arak. Before Iran's reaction, the Israeli military sent out a Persian-language evacuation notice telling people to leave the area around the reactor. As the second week of the conflict goes on, both sides seem to be expanding their strategic goals. This makes people worry that the fighting will get worse in both military and civilian areas.
