Boeing Defense Union Asks Lawmakers to Intervene in Strike
(Bloomberg) -- A union representing workers at Boeing Co.'s St. Louis-area defense factories urged US lawmakers from Missouri to intervene and nudge the planemaker to reach a deal. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The IAM Union, which represents 3,200 workers currently on strike, said it had written letters to senators and representatives to press Boeing to return to the bargaining table, the group said in a statement on Wednesday. 'We remain ready and willing to listen to any constructive proposals from the union,' Dan Gillian, a Boeing vice president and senior St. Louis site executive, said in an email. About 3,200 machinists walked off the job earlier this month after members voted down a deal that would have raised wages by 20% and boosted retirement contributions. The union last went on strike in 1996, with the stoppage lasting 99 days. The action adds pressure to Boeing's turnaround efforts with the defense and space division contributing about a third of the company's revenue. Union members build fighter aircraft such as the F-15, the T-7 training jet, missiles and munitions. They also manufacture components for Boeing's 777X commercial jets. In March, Boeing won a contract to design and build the US's next-generation stealth fighter jet, beating out rival Lockheed Martin Corp. for the multi-billion-dollar program dubbed the F-47. Still, the operation that's now gone on strike is far smaller than the civil aircraft business that was severely affected late last year by a walkout, which brought manufacturing in the Seattle area to a standstill for weeks and contributed to Boeing selling equity worth almost $24 billion.

UN Chief Warns Israel Over Sexual Violence Concerns
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Israel and Russia that they may be added to a list of countries suspected of or responsible for sexual violence in armed conflict. The UN's report, which was seen by Bloomberg ahead of its release Thursday, does not officially put Israel or Russia on the list of offending countries. Instead, both countries' behaviors are included in a narrative section as well as in the appendix — which includes a warning that they risk making it onto the official list in the report for 2025.

Top Iranian Official Visits Lebanon as Hezbollah Bucks Calls to Disarm
A top Iranian security official met with Lebanese leaders on Wednesday as pressure mounted for its most powerful regional ally, Hezbollah, to disarm. Ali Larijani, the head of Iran's top security body, was the most senior Iranian official to visit Beirut since the Lebanese government last week endorsed a U.S.-backed road map to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year. Hezbollah has rejected the plan, which followed weeks of shuttle diplomacy by Washington aimed at implementing a cease-fire deal signed last year with Israel that ended Lebanon's deadliest conflict in decades. Hezbollah's arsenal has long underpinned both its self-declared role as Lebanon's defender against Israel and its political prowess at home. But after emerging from the war severely weakened, the group's future is now in question. In recent months, Lebanon's new government has faced mounting pressure from the United States and Gulf states to complete the group's disarmament, a key step mandated by the cease-fire agreement reached in November. Neutralizing Hezbollah as a fighting force is seen as essential to unlocking billions in foreign aid needed to rebuild a country ravaged by war and economic crisis. For Lebanon, it is delicate balancing act with the highest of stakes. After months of trading cross-border fire with Hezbollah, Israel invaded last October and its forces still hold a handful of positions in Lebanon and carry out near daily strikes there. Lebanese officials and Western diplomats say that if the government delays in disarming Hezbollah, Israel could escalate its military campaign. Yet any move by Lebanon to dismantle the group's arsenal without parallel concessions from Israel risks inflaming sectarian tensions and triggering civil unrest. During the visit by Mr. Larijani on Wednesday, President Joseph Aoun of Lebanon said that no group in Lebanon was permitted to bear arms or depend on foreign backing — a thinly veiled reference to Iran's longstanding support for Hezbollah.
