Look at other news now in the United Arab Emirates and israel have struck a pace accord the deal brokered by washington will seize hold his west bank and exciting plans although the palestinians arent happy after these ready Prime Ministers said that an exception isnt completely off the table. Sure im sure there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in today and somalia in full coordination with the United States im committed to it its still on the table. The last palestinian leadership rejects what the United Arab Emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause of a lesser scale of more pain now reports some do believe too that it is another player in the middle east which does lie at the true heart of this new accord. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging toes of cooperation in the middle east Donald Trumps supporters say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for arranging this but the palestinians arent exactly thrilled with this new arrangement the deal between. United arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historic. Relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. According to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved in the past the mission is not resolved the Palestinian Authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the United Arab Emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal were starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u. A. E. Israel in the United States there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversation surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is in rome as well as nightmare no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines are very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is that the Iranian Regime it clings to power on the basis of brute force iran often labeled as israels largest regional opponent has denounced the deal the Islamic Republic of iran is confident that history will show that this was a mistake made by israel and this dagger that has been unjustly through. Lost by the United Arab Emirates into the backs of the Palestinian People and all muslims will lead to strengthening resistance and the unity of the muslim people against israel as well as fuel confrontation in the region when donald trump visited saudi arabia he spoke of building an arab nato that would work as a coalition in the region opposing iran and fighting terrorism and it seems now this year storage deal is being revealed not so much to be about getting recognition for israel or protecting palestinians from an explosion but about targeting one of washingtons most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely the pattern isnt toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given whats happening in beirut. The fact that hezbollah is now under pressure in lebanon with the government having resigned there so we have a Coalition Building disagreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within the arab states will. Harden stances or at least continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. Fronts is ramping up its military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean off to turkey began oil and Gas Exploration in disputed waters there paris to say that its deployment is only a temporary measure but its relations with ankara are already strained a shot had been skiing now reports. President matt corn has signalled that the along tensions continue to rise between greece and turkey the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is worrying tookey is unilateral decisions on Oil Exploration are causing tensions these must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and nato allies to take place but this seemingly didnt stop the french president from reinforcing frances military presence in the mediterranean its confirmed paris will send to ref a and fighter jets and the naval frigate fiats a move welcomed by the greek Prime Minister i think president mccraw on for his cell a dirty Emmanuel Mccraw on is a true friend of greece but also a fervent defender of European Values and International Law the greek pm bill this as an act of solidarity but you only have to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months cross has also found itself clashing with turkey in the mediterranean. These past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil this is a serious and explicit in french moment of what was agreed upon in berlin i must reiterate the prerequisite for any political solution in libya is the cancellation of this document but with that incident still rushing from his mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity with a fellow member in this case greece last month macko an even cooler for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the Eastern Mediterranean now the arrival of turkeys new seismic civvy vessel this caught the attention of the e. U. The latest developments rick stream the worrying what is needed to be done is to engage in solving all the open issue. With principles of good neighborly relations International Law and positive engagement with fronts now bolstering its military might to aid greeces plight greece is perhaps now feeling in bold and its place its military on high alert recalling naval and air force personnel from their holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in coastal areas and with france now wading into this pact turkeys president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalate it challenged even ski r. T. Paris. The massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and like most have been left trying to pick up the pieces not just of the shattered buildings though but also of their lives one Fashion Designer shared his story. Like i was always so happy we were facing the putting seward is very artistic and inspiring because its industrial enriching details now everything is ricks look at the destruction the wreckage i dont know how much time it would take to be rebuilt. There are no words to describe it my team and i a feeling that we cant but thank god that were all alive and well and no one was hurt to live this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god the most current thats the most important thing. Is. Most of the hard work of 20 years was destroyed in mere seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went up just across the street. Smaller he says another challenge for us and we can get our hands on funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but thats not certain and this isnt something we do use to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. Thinking of coming out with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident my team and i are really picking up the pieces i really want to come out with a collection inspired by beirut the suffering of beirut. The best of the nash to dance in germany have been funding the controversial activist group and teeth without even knowing it it sings because it has come to light that part of the cherishing phase paid to the university of a. Actually been going to the group for years peter all of the reports. The anti fascist organization have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the United States china in the United States of america will be designating as a terrorist organization here in germany they havent received that type of criticism but there is a controversy surrounding the use of University Students fees from cologne to go towards a contribution to the group for the 2020 to 21. 00 winter semester each student at the university of cologne pays 280. 00 euro and 0. 95 for 205. 00 euro and 0. 95 goes to the Student Council and is meant to pay the transport discounting workers salary and for the departments work out of the 10000000. 00 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the Student Branch on too far a cake its delicate because while anti far on demonized here the way they are in the us a report by germanys internal Security Service that has some pretty strong things to say about a cake and the groups its associated with conservative student groups in turn and not so happy that they have to contribute to a case without a choice it shouldnt be that every student has to subsidize a group that has been classified as extremist by the office for the protection of the constitution we regularly demand that the funding of n. T. For a k. Be cut the majority of students who spoke to r. T. Said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our k.
