How Gaza occupation could drain Israel's economy?
ALBAWABA - Israel is getting ready for its first general strike on August 17. Families of prisoners and a number of social groups that want the war to end are leading the protests. Also Read Israeli airstrike kills Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif Even more people are afraid that the conflict will get worse, which will hurt both people and the economy. At first, the Histadrut labor group was supposed to take part, but it pulled out for a number of reasons. The people who are organizing the strike say that keeping the war going will make the country's economic and social problems worse, in addition to the moral need to free the prisoners. Last week, the security cabinet agreed to go ahead with taking Gaza City as part of a larger military offensive against Hamas. This made people even more worried. Experts say that even a limited stay will cost a lot, with new taxes, longer tax freezes, and big cuts to infrastructure, healthcare, education, and welfare. The Finance Ministry is looking at the prices of recent operations, such as "Gideon's Chariots," which ended after three months. The Defense Ministry and the Finance Ministry have already agreed to give an extra 42 billion shekels over the next two years, with 28 billion shekels coming in 2025. This will be used to pay for the operation in Gaza and another battle against Iran. Government officials say, though, that there has been no real talk in the government or the Knesset about how the occupation of Gaza will affect the country's finances in the long run. It is thought that calling up a quarter of a million reservists before the end of the year would cost 7.5 billion shekels per month. Other costs like fuel, ammo, and emergency help could add another 12–15 billion shekels per month. Former IDF budget chief Brig. Gen. (Res.) Ram Aminach warned that under international law, Israel would have to provide all civil services in Gaza after the war, including water, sanitation, electricity, healthcare, and more, without being able to collect local taxes or rely on foreign aid. «احتلال غزة» ليس مجرد معركة عسكرية.. إسرائيل على أعتاب حرب اقتصادية قد لا تنتهي! فهل تتحول «أعباء القطاع» إلى «فاتورة تل أبيب»؟

Soccer-Donnarumma confirms imminent departure from PSG after being axed by Luis Enrique
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - FIFA Club World Cup - Final - Chelsea v Paris St Germain - MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S. - July 13, 2025 Paris St Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma looks dejected at half time REUTERS/Lee Smith/File Photo UDINE, Italy (Reuters) -Gianluigi Donnarumma confirmed his imminent departure from Paris St Germain after he was effectively axed from the squad by manager Luis Enrique, who left the Italian keeper out of the Super Cup line-up. Donnarumma played an instrumental role in PSG's treble-winning campaign last season, helping them to finally win the Champions League for the first time. However, the 26-year-old, who joined the club in 2021, has now been left out in the cold. PSG signed French keeper Lucas Chevalier on Saturday, fuelling speculation about Donnarumma's future, and with one year left on his contract, the Italian is now set to move on. "Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team's success," Donnarumma posted on social media on Tuesday. "I am disappointed and disheartened." The keeper's omission from the PSG squad to face Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday was the main focus of the manager's press conference. "These are always hard decisions to make. I can only say good things about Gianluigi Donnarumma," Luis Enrique told reporters. "He is one of the best players in his position, without any doubt. He is even better as a person, but we were looking for a different profile of keeper. "Bearing in mind the level of Gianluigi Donnarumma and everything he has given to the club, of course we understand the situation but my aim is to improve the team and I have tried to do that in the best way possible." Italian reporters were understandably more concerned with the Donnarumma situation than with the match against Spurs, but the PSG manager soon grew tired of the subject. "No more questions on this. It is my decision, it is the club's decision and the club backs me," Luis Enrique said. "We now need to find the best solution for all parties." Donnarumma's next club has yet to be decided, and the keeper would like the chance to bid farewell to the PSG supporters. "I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done," Donnarumma wrote. "If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me and I will never forget it. "Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you Paris." PSG captain Marquinhos also spoke about the Donnarumma situation during his press conference. "It is always difficult. I have been here for 12 or 13 years and I have seen other players go through the same thing," the Brazilian defender said. "Life is like that and football is like that. One day I will leave as well, I hope it will be in the best possible conditions but players come and go and the club remains, the fans remain, and history remains. "We don't know if he is going to leave or stay. If he stays of course we will welcome him back with open arms. "Because what he did last season was incredible and it is thanks to him that we reached the final and we won the trophy. But if he has to leave we will thank him."

Former Guatemalan police officers, officials sentenced for deaths of 41 girls in fire
A woman reacts as mothers of victims and survivors of the 2017 fire at the Virgen de la Asuncion shelter attend the trial over the deaths of 41 children, in Guatemala City, Guatemala, August 12, 2025. REUTERS/Cristina Chiquin GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) -A Guatemalan court on Tuesday sentenced six people to between six and 25 years in prison for the deaths of 41 children in a raging fire eight years ago inside a state shelter for at-risk youth. The sentencing is a step towards closure in one of the most horrific and deadly events in Guatemalan history. The tragedy drew international attention and highlighted pervasive abuse in the government's shelter system. The six sentenced on Tuesday - two former police officers and four former child protection officials - were found guilty of homicide, mistreatment of minors, breach of duties and abuse of authority. All pleaded not guilty. The judge said she did not have the jurisdiction to rule on charges against a seventh defendant, the country's former Children's Prosecutor at the Attorney General's Office, who had pleaded not guilty. The fire occurred on March 8, 2017, at the Virgin de la Asuncion Safe Home outside Guatemala City, when 56 girls and teenagers were padlocked in a classroom allegedly for bad behavior. After spending hours locked inside, one of the girls lit a match to a mattress, thinking it might force police to let them out, according to witnesses. Despite cries for help, police refused to open the doors for nine minutes, witnesses said. Forty one girls and teenagers died, and 15 more survived with serious burns.
