Moscow: NATO rearmament plans designed for conflict with Russia
Moscow - Saba: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko has confirmed that NATO's plans to rearm the armies of alliance members, increase military budgets, and reform the command structure are specifically designed for a military confrontation with Russia. Grushko told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Future 2050 Forum in Moscow: "If we look back at NATO, we really see—and this is evident not only in the exercises, but also in the plans to re-equip armies, increase military budgets, reform the command structure, and create new commands—that all of this military buildup is, to a large extent, designed for a military confrontation with Russia." The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister also noted that the alliance's readiness for a conflict with Russia is a reality that today defines Moscow's military and political relations with NATO countries. These statements come a day after NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea, at a time when the European region is experiencing unprecedented tensions since the end of the Cold War, amid strained relations between the West and Russia over the Ukrainian crisis. These massive military exercises aim to test NATO's ability to rapidly deploy forces over long distances and enhance coordination between the various militaries of the alliance's members. In recent years, Russia has observed unprecedented NATO activity near its western borders. The alliance is expanding the scope of its initiatives, describing them as "containing Russian aggression." Moscow has expressed concern on several occasions about the alliance's bolstering of its forces in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia remains open to dialogue with NATO, but on an equal footing, while the West must abandon its path toward militarization of the continent.

Jihad mourns death of its leader, Raeq Basharat, in Tubas
Tubas - Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has moured the death of its leader, Raeq Abdulrahman Basharat, to the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic world. Basharat was assassinated by the Israeli special forces last night in the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas. In a press statement issued Wednesday, the Islamic Jihad Movement said, "The martyred leader played a prominent role during the 1987 Intifada and was subjected to an assassination attempt in 2002, during which his wife was martyred and his hands were amputated." It noted that Basharat had been arrested numerous times, totaling over nine years, and had gone on a hunger strike for 53 days in 2022 to protest his administrative detention before his release. It emphasized that Basharat "never hesitated to fulfill his duty and pursued his responsibilities with unwavering determination and resolve." The movement stressed that the targeting of leaders and mujahideen by the Israeli enemy's gangs will not weaken the resolve of the Palestinian people, nor will it weaken the resistance's will to continue confronting the occupation. Rather, their pure blood, which waters the land of Palestine, will produce generations more resilient and more formidable. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Israeli Knesset to vote today to dissolve itself
Occupied al-Quds - Saba: The Israeli Knesset is expected to vote Wednesday to dissolve itself at the request of the Israeli opposition. According to Israeli sources, this move comes following a dispute over a bill to conscript more ultra-Orthodox Jews into military service. The Israeli Supreme Court ruled on June 25, 2024, that military service would be compulsory for Jews (Haredi) and that financial support for religious institutions whose students refuse to be conscripted would be suspended. The Knesset will only be dissolved if the bill passes four separate votes: a preliminary reading today, Wednesday, followed by three additional readings. Final approval of the bill requires a majority of 61 votes of the 120 Knesset members. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
