Crown Prince arrives in Mina to oversee Hajj services
Saudi Gazette report MINA — On behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Mina on Thursday to supervise the services and facilities provided to pilgrims during the peak of the Hajj season. Nearly two million pilgrims converged on Mount Arafat, marking the spiritual pinnacle of the five-day pilgrimage. Dressed in seamless white garments symbolizing unity and humility, pilgrims gathered at dawn after spending the night in the tent city of Mina for reflection and prayer. The pilgrims will spend the day in prayer on the plains of Arafat before heading to Muzdalifah and returning to Mina for the symbolic stoning of the devil, followed by the Eid al-Adha animal sacrifice, marking the culmination of Hajj. Saudi Arabia has deployed tens of thousands of workers, security forces, medical staff, and volunteers to ensure a smooth and safe pilgrimage. Extensive services — from transportation and healthcare to crowd management and digital support — are in place across the holy sites to support the mass movement of pilgrims and safeguard their well-being. Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam, is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims who are physically and financially able to perform it at least once in their lives. The journey commemorates the trials of Prophet Abraham and embodies key tenets of the Islamic faith, including devotion, equality, and sacrifice.

South Korea's new president vows to restart talks with North Korea
SEOUL — South Korea's new president Lee Jae-myung has promised to recommence talks with North Korea with the aim of securing peace on the Korean Peninsula. Lee, who was sworn in early on Wednesday following his victory in a snap election, outlined key policy goals for his five-year term, from foreign and economic policy to healing the country's political divide. In his inaugural address to the country's National Assembly, Lee pledged to deal with North Korean nuclear and other military threats with 'strong deterrence' bolstered by the South Korea-US military alliance. However, he also said he would restart talks with Pyongyang, which have not taken place in years, vowing to 'open a communication channel with North Korea and establish peace on the Korean Peninsula through talks and cooperation'. How this will be received remains unclear, as Pyongyang has rejected talks with Seoul since 2019. While critics of the liberal have previously accused Lee of looking toward China and North Korea and away from the US and Japan, the leader also stressed that he wanted to grow the trilateral Seoul-Washington-Tokyo cooperation. "Through pragmatic diplomacy based on national interests, we will turn the crisis posed by the major shift in global economic and security landscapes into an opportunity to maximise our national interests,' Lee said. Lee's government will be forced to reckon with myriad challenges, including a slowing domestic economy, US tariff hike and a volatile international context. Lee, whose election victory came after a snap election was triggered in April by the removal of former conservative President Yoon Suk-yeol following his failed attempt to impose martial law last year, has repeatedly emphasized Seoul's alliance with Washington as the cornerstone of its foreign policy. Congratulating Lee on his election, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he wants to hold summit talks with Lee 'as early as possible' to further promote bilateral ties, while the US State Department said that Seoul and Washington share 'an ironclad commitment' to the alliance based on their 'mutual defence treaty, shared values, and deep economic ties'. As well as foreign policy, the new president, who won 49.3% of the votes cast in Tuesday's election against the main conservative contender Kim Moon-soo's 41.3%, pledged to wage a 'head-on battle' against the threats of recession in the country and boost government spending. Addressing the historic constitutional crisis that led to his presidency, Lee promised an in-depth investigation into Yoon's imposition of martial law, while calling for the country to come together and heal the divisions that followed the shocking incident last December. Alongside US tariffs, North Korea's growing military deals with Russia will pose an undeniable challenge. North Korea has been providing Russia with weapons and soldiers as it wages its war against Ukraine, with Pyongyang acknowledging for the first time in April that it has sent troops to fight for Russia against Ukraine. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has also expressed his unwavering support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine South Korea, the US and allies fear that Russia may give Pyongyang technologies to aid its development of its nuclear weapons programme. Following North Korea's launch of the country's first naval destroyer last month, South Korean officials said the Choe Hyon warship was likely built with the aid of Russia. State media reported that the ship is designed to carry modern weapons including nuclear missiles, with Dr Edward Howell telling Euronews last month that North Korea's development of warships is central to the regime's aims. 'The nuclear ambitions are inextricably linked with Kim's desire for regime survival, but also to his desire for North Korea to be seen as an equal power, of equal status, to the United States," he said. "The development of these warships is intertwined with this nuclear recognition.' — Euronews

Dutch government collapses as Wilders' far-right party leaves coalition
THE HAGUE — The far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) is leaving the Netherlands' government over its policy for asylum-seekers, its leader Geert Wilders said on Tuesday, toppling the governing coalition. 'I signed up for the strictest asylum policy, not for the downfall of the Netherlands,' Wilders told reporters Tuesday morning. 'And our responsibility for this cabinet therefore ends here.' Wilders' decision to withdraw support for the most right-leaning government in Dutch history has plunged the country's politics into chaos. It leaves the government, led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof, with just 51 out of 150 seats in parliament. Opposition leaders have called for immediate elections. Schoof, who has clashed with Wilders over policy, has not yet commented. Polls suggest that, were elections to be held today, the PVV would lose seats but remain the largest party, just ahead of the center-right People's Party for Freedom and Democracy. But that's no guarantee that it would be able to enter a new government. Dutch politics features a constellation of parties, none of which has ever been able to command a majority of Dutch votes. Polls suggest that both center-right and center-left parties would gain from new PVV was the clear winner of a November 2023 election. But a coalition accord struck after months of haggling dictated that, while his party would join the government, he would remain on the sidelines, in has a long history of anti-Islam and anti-immigrant rhetoric, He was convicted of discrimination after insulting Moroccan immigrants at a 2014 campaign rally, and his party calls for 'no Islamic schools, Qu'ran, and mosques.'Wilders last week held a rare, formal press conference to present the government with an ultimatum for hardening the country's asylum policy – despite the fact that the minister for asylum and migration is a member of his own party.'The PVV promised voters the strictest asylum policy ever, aiming to make it the strictest in all of Europe,' Wilders said Tuesday. 'We proposed a plan to close the borders to asylum seekers, to stop them, to send them away. To stop building asylum-seeker centers, to close them.'But the coalition, he said, refused his proposals.'I could do nothing other than say that we are now withdrawing our support for this cabinet.' — CNN
