Hezbollah chief meets Iran's top diplomat amid Israeli drone activity
dpa Beirut Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem met on Wednesday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, amid heavy Israeli drone activity over Beirut. The meeting, also attended by Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, focused on regional developments and bilateral ties, according to a statement from Hezbollah's media relations office. The announcement, which did not disclose the location of the meeting, coincided with sightings of Israeli drone over the Lebanese capital across areas considered strongholds of Hezbollah. The drone activity underscored the ongoing tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, which have sharply escalated since the outbreak of the Gaza war. Qassem has largely limited his appearances to video messages since the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last year. He is believed to have avoided public events in Beirut due to the threat of Israeli strikes. During the meeting, both sides reaffirmed the strategic alliance between Hezbollah and Iran, the Hezbollah statement said. Araghchi emphasized Tehran's commitment to supporting Lebanon in 'economic, political, and social matters,' while stressing 'mutual respect and strengthened cooperation' between the two countries. The Hezbollah leader, on his part, thanked Iran for its continued support, praising what he called Tehran's 'positive role in the region,' particularly in backing the Palestinian resistance during the ongoing Gaza conflict.

Pro-Palestine protesters in UK call for Israel arms embargo and sanctions
agencies london Pro-Palestine campaigners have rallied against Israel's punishing war on Gaza, gathering outside the British Parliament in London and demanding a full arms embargo and that hard-hitting sanctions be imposed on the Israeli government. Wednesday's march, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took weekly questions from parliamentarians. Thousands of protesters created a 'Red Line for Palestine', wearing red while encircling the building. Starmer told Parliament that Israel's actions in the besieged and bombarded enclave are 'appalling' and 'intolerable'. 'It is right to describe these days as dark,' Starmer said. 'We have strongly opposed the expansion of Israeli military operations, and settler violence, and the blocking of humanitarian aid.'Starmer added that the UK has imposed sanctions, suspended free trade negotiations, and is currently considering further sanctions. But the UK leader, his Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and his government have come under heavy criticism in the UK for not speaking more forcefully backed by actual action earlier in the war, and for not doing enough now as Palestinians face what United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called the 'cruellest phase of this cruel conflict'. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands, reporting from London, said the protest went on for several hours and throughout Starmer's entire speech to Parliament. 'There was a red line around the whole of Parliament,' Challands said. According to Challands, protesters say that their 'red line' is to show that the UK government should have its own red lines when it comes to Gaza.

Bulgaria close to adopting euro, but faces protests, backlash
Agencies EU member Bulgaria is close to realizing its goal of joining the eurozone by adopting the common euro currency and deepening ties with the more prosperous countries of Western Europe. But the government faces a populist backlash against the shared currency on the eve of a key decision by European Union authorities. Fears of inflation, poverty, and the unknown are mingling with disinformation spread on social media that aims to turn people against the euro. The discontent tracks with increased support for populist and anti-EU parties across Europe, which is exploited by nationalist and pro-Russian politicians in a country that remains one of Europe's poorest and most afflicted with corruption. 'Adopting the euro will make us feel the threshold of poverty. After all, prices will be in euros,' said 78-year-old retiree Tanya Ignatova. 'Bulgaria is not ready for the euro. Someday we may be ready, but not now,' said another retiree, Mario Georgiev. Several thousand people rallied against the euro in the capital on Saturday, urging a referendum on whether to transition from the lev currency to the euro. The head of the pro-Russian Varazhdane party, Kostadin Kostadinov, told the crowd that 'Bulgaria has risen and declared: Freedom, we choose the Bulgarian lev!' Others in Bulgaria say the country already benefits from EU membership and it does not matter what the currency is. 'We have inflation now and we will have it in the future,' said 26-year-old Konstantin Bozhinov. Aiming at deepening European integration amid growing geopolitical tensions, the government is pressing ahead. It has asked for a review of whether it meets the requirements of low inflation, sound government finances and legal conformity to EU institutions. On Wednesday, the European Commission will announce the results. If the commission gives a green light, other member states will decide on Bulgaria's candidacy in the coming weeks. At the last review in 2022, Bulgaria failed on the inflation requirement. Inflation has since fallen. President Rumen Radev has encouraged the anti-euro voices by proposing a referendum on the currency, citing public concerns over inflation and purchasing power. That followed a protest in February that saw the offices of the EU's executive commission in Sofia spattered with red paint and its entrance set on fire. The president's proposal was turned down by the pro-European majority in parliament, which accused Radev of acting in favor of Russia with his last-minute attempt to sabotage the euro adoption. According to the EU's multi-country Eurobarometer survey released last week, 50 percent of Bulgarians are against the adoption of the euro, while 43 percent are in favor. In contrast, trust in the euro continues to grow across the rest of the EU. Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007. It has been plagued by political instability and corruption that have fueled euroscepticism among its 6.4 million citizens. Analysts say disinformation campaigns from abroad have fed fears of economic changes that could bring more poverty. Scores of false claims by opponents of the eurozone have been published on social networks. One claim says the EU plans to take away people's savings if they fail to spend them within a certain period. Another claims that plans to introduce a digital version of the euro are part of a plan to control everyone. 'There is a powerful brainwashing of the average Bulgarian. Illusory fears are being spread, lies are being told wholesale, unscrupulously and brazenly,' said Ognyan Minchev, director of the Institute for Regional and International Studies in Sofia. Economists say joining the euro will not bring massive change to Bulgaria's economy in the short run. That's because the government has pegged the currency to the euro by law, at a fixed rate of 1 lev for every 51 euro cents. Joining the euro can bring lower borrowing costs, greater ease in comparing domestic and foreign prices and no need to exchange money when vacationing in another euro country. More than that, it's a sign of integration into the EU and its large economy. Members get a seat on the European Central Bank's interest rate-setting committee. Countries agree to join the euro when they join the EU, but so far, 20 of 27 members have taken the step. Croatia was the last to join in 2023. Bulgaria's government has very little debt, at 24.1 percent of GDP - the second lowest in the EU and well below the 60 percent level in euro membership criteria.
