These setts toward the compa and performed rituals there, which are considered sacrileous site. Saudi arabia and egypt have separately condemned the move, describing it as a provocative act. Saudi arabias Foreign Ministry saidly stands by the Palestinian People and supports all efforts to end the occupation. Egypt also called on influential International Parties fulfill their responsibility to protect palestinian holy sites and their legitimate rights. Under decades long agreements signed by israel, nonmuslim worship at allah. Prohibited, the site, however has seen almost daily incursions by is settlers in recent weeks. The president has categorically rejected accusations that the crease moved to enrich uranium at the 60 purity level was aimed at building an atomic bomb. An interview with cnn, ibrahim raisi said tehran ramped up enrichments only after European Countries quote trampled upon their commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. He said if the europeans signatories return to the deal and fulfill their obligations any time, iran will undoubtedly comply with his commitments as it has done in the past. Elsewhere in his interview, the president said us mediated efforts to normalize israeli relations with some persian gulf arab states including saudi arabia will fail. This comes as read has reportedly informed washington of its decision to suspend all negotiations on normalizing ties with israel. This is not a. There are lots of speculations about the possibility of israel and saudi arabia reconcile these days. From the saudis abandoning talks with israel to both israel and saudi arabia, sounding optimistic about a possible reconciliation, one viewpoint holds a true across the spectrum, any reconciliation regime is a stab in the back. Palestinians, but i believe that we are at the cusp of even more dramatic breakthrough, an historic peace between israel and saudi arabia, the israeli Prime Minister netanyahu and israel normalization, and here he is, again. I think that under your leadership, mr. President , we can forge. A historic peace of between israel and saudi arabia, the Saudi Crown Prince seems echo the same sentiment, every day we get closer, it seems its for the first time, real one, serious, we got to see how it goes. Two problems here, first, just days ago, it was said that saudi arabia had abandoned any normalization talks with israel, which was reported widely, yet when the saudium prince was asked about, he said, there were reports that you had. Descended talks, oh no, thats thats not. The study however has said the issue of palestine is of upmost importance. For us the palestinian issue is very important, we need to solve that part. Question is, how important, is it a nonnegotiable or is it open for negotiations . We have a good negotiation, continue. Now comes to the saudi foren minister, what this to say . بما يكفل حق الشعب الفلسطيني في اقامه دولته المستقله على حدود عام 1967 وعاصمتها القدس الشرقيه. His statements, peace that allows Palestinian People to have an independent state without boots as his capital. If thats the case, israel saudi reconciliation is a nonstarter. Theres no way that neither the israeli Prime Minister, nor his far right extreme fascist cabinet would agree to it. So what is the deal . Why is saudi arabia wasting time talking to israel . How can netanyahu say that he . About the palestinian cause, yet say this about their position, but i also believe that we must not give the palestinians veto over new peace treaties with arab states, and while talking about the importance of palestinians, his forces, murdering palestins, just today, two shot in the head, buldozing their homes and detaining them, is saudi arabia serious that it may reconcile with this aparthide regime . Televive and washington have ratcheted up the push for the saudi israeli normalization as part of the socalled abrahams accord. So far, the uae, bahrain, sudan and morocco have signed accords with israel. Theres widespread consensus that these trees have abandoned the palestinian cause by signing this accord. Incredible nuclear threat. The israeli Prime Minister was up. His old antics at the unga podium, using his props to make point, a red marker and of cardboard. Today i bring this marker to show a great blessing, the blessing of new middle east, this new middle east that he talks about to by iran as west asia has already happened, its called the iran saudi reconciliation. Further proof of that, irans foreign minister, hooking up with the saudi fm in new york, on the sidelines of the. بر مردم فلسطین و به مقاومت فلسطینییان and what about the us and the us President Joe Biden whose hand the Saudi Crown Prince has rejected on more than one occasion. The us has been more cautious than the upbeat assessment of israel, saying things like a breakthrough is far away and steep obstacles remain, but perhaps a point overlooked by the media may provide a window into what the real intentions of the. The us is, one of the reasons behind the us enthusiasm behind the normalization, countering chinas inroads in the persian gulf. This was a clear reference to chinas belt and road initiative, a stance supported by the israeli Prime Minister, that great promise in the g20 meeting that you participated and led, you spoke about economic corridor that would link uh. Asia, the middle east and europe together, and such a corridor will uh, will make israel very important hub a highway of unprecedented prosperity. Us and israel through the trade route, as shown here, want to stand up to chinas one belt, one road initiative, and as the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone through this strategy, but at work, consist, china is saudi arabias Number One Oil customer, saudi arabia. Has just become a new member. Saudi arabia has reconciled with iran with many bgcc persian gulf countries to have done the same or in the process of doing that with iran. Thats called new world order. It would be wise for netanyahu to reconcile with his own people, protested over 38 weeks before aspiring to reconcile with saudi arabia.

Holiday of yomkipor or day of atonement, the are pedestin crossing in northern gaza and the kimshiom commercial crossing in Southern Gaza will remain shot until tuesday. The closure the crossings will only increase the suffering of more than two million gazans who have been under crippling blockade since 2007. They impovered costtal sliver already suffers from high poverty and unemployment rates. Experts say that sealing the crossings during jewish holly will further complicate the situation and is part of israels racist policy. Israel uses jewish holidays as a racist excuse to make the people of gaza suffer and deprive them of their most basic rights. The goal of closing the crossings is to further tighten the bloccade, destroy the economy, and to keep the people of gaza as prisoners in a big prison. Every year the apartid Israeli Regime seals the crossings. With gaza for average of 100 days for jewish holidays and other occasions while keeping his crossings with egypt and jordan open on same occasions. Israel has systematically closed the Border Crossings between gaza and israels and kirim shalom which has inflicted more hardship and more burdens on the Gaza Community in the beginning of jewish holiday that they close the Border Crossings with with the gaza strip mainly and they keep it on with with other uh areas like they keep Border Crossing on with egypt with jordan. Experts believe only the complete liting of the in israeli seed and the permanent reopening of all crossings and end the deteriorating humanity situation in the tiny costal territory. Israel is suffocating the gaza strip with its inhumane policies. We demand the full lifting of the bloccade and the permanent reopening of all crossings. Israel aims to harm the people of gaza, including patients and workers. As much as it can, under any pretext it can find. Tel avivs racist policy during jewish holidays is considered by many as a grave violation of International Laws and norms. Israel says that it will keep the crossings with gaza seal during jewish holidays for security reasons, but human Rights Groups reject telavivs argument asserting that such measures are only aimed at tightening the blocade.

These drills are very important because they show how worried the us and south korea are about north koreas new Nuclear Attack submarine which it unveiled in a launching. Ceremony on september 6th, and this new submarine can carry nuclear tipped missils, its a game changer, because now it can have second strike ability, in other words, if the us conducts a Preemptive Nuclear strike on north korean territory, north korean submarines can nuke the u. S. Back, and so the us will not dare to conduct a preempt. Strike on the north korean mainland and so now that north korea has this strength, the us and south korea have nothing they can do except these types of drills in the sea where they are trying to outmaneuver north korean submarines equipped destroyers for instance, but north korean missiles are capable of evading all us missile defenses that are here to the korean plan slot, south koreans have rallied in the capital soul seeking climate just the calling the human right of life without climate disasters and a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

France says it is decided to recall as ambassador from niger and tensions between the two countries since the african countrys newwers took power back in july. France has decided to bring back its ambassador and so in the coming hours our ambassador with several diplomats will return to france and french troops will withdraw from niger in the months ahead, adding that a full pull out will take place by the end of the year. Niger has welcomed mars announcement as a historic moment and new step towards sovereignty. The hunta said the withdrawal of french troops is in line with the determination of the nigerian people. Nigers military rulers had told the french ambassador to leave following the. That top the pro france government are president mohammad, since the military takeover, antifrench sentiments have been growing in the sahel country, with protests being held against the presence of french troops there. David auto is the director of the Geneva Center for African Security and strategic studies. What to the program . So what do you think about the announcement made by france . Finally, maybe they have seen uh that the. Do not have a place uh in the country in terms of not only the security related matters but also uh in terms of his presence there. I mean, does this mean that the french pullout is complete, that is, that they are they dont have any type of influence in that in that country, from its economy to other related matters . Well, i think at least from a Military Point of view, i think, but also from a diplomatic. The french were becoming increasingly isolated, the french brand became quite toxic in that part of the sah region a point where you know there was a rise in the antifrench sentiment in favor of nationalism, but also in favor of countries like russia to you, take over from the the french vacuum. We also found out that of course the people power, the nigerians rally behind the military jonta and made very difficult for the french to kind of divide the population towards their presence. Um, it became worse, i have to add that the niger. Faso and mari, the three countries in the liptako goma recently signed what we call the liptaco goma alliance which made it very possible that any military intervention in niger will mean a military intervention to all three states attack on one is attack on all some kind of an article five of the nato agreement i think also the french realized the ambassador and number of the french staff were being isolated, their supplies were being caught, there were so many protests being staged around the french embassy, which made it very difficult for for the ambassador to sustain his stay in the country. President bazum, who the french president says that he has spoken to since the he was depost in july 26th, leverage, he doesnt have the power, but also the united states, kind of took sides with the military d and isolated france because of course perhaps thought that the french brand had burned, so for the us, it was meant to be business as usual, and this was not in favor of the of france, but but also i think one of the things we have to understand is that the french had relied on ecoas to take military intervention, but of course the sentiment in the region meant that ecoas, could not carry out any military intervention any further, so for the french um the oxygen had been taken away and we only had to leave, in about a minute. Uh what about the the economy in terms of for example the currency that they use . Mean, its not like they can just uh eliminate that currency uh and also the ties that they have with france in that regards, are we looking at those ties being severed at this point . I think this is key crucial Economic Perspective which military joint has to consider because of course they are still using french cf, i dont think that they will advertise on Economic Perspective, but remember in may of 20. 23 president bazum whom the friends are made it very clear that niger would cut economic ties and remove the cf of franks, and he even suggested that that would be in favor of the nigerian naira, but i dont know what the military jonta is going to do now, because of course you know theyre still using the frank cefa which is attached to the euro and the European Union is back in france its measures, so lets wait and see if further sanctions at. Going to cripple the military john and i think this is where the french are expecting to see that they would have some leverage in the future, but also in the fight against terrorism with groups like the azaw, independence region rising very very fast in in the northern part of um mali and of course that would affect nigia and burkina faso as well.
