Vengeance for Palestinian Blood
Three more Palestinians are killed in an Israeli shooting, this time in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. It brings to 10 the number of Palestinians killed this week so far.
Reports say the Israeli regime’s forces rained down bullets on a car the three Palestinians were travelling in. They are also said to have seized the bodies of the victims. The Israeli military claims the trio was planning to launch an attack. The resistance group, Islamic Jihad says the victims were its members and that such atrocious acts will not go unpunished. Hamas has also pledged to avenge the killing. It says Israel’s policy of terror and assassination would only galvanize resistance, and warns that the regime cannot guarantee its security by killing Palestinians. Israeli forces have recently intensified their violent raids on Palestinian cities and villages. A fresh escalation erupted after Palestinians angry over the regime’s crimes and occupation killed 11 Israelis in separate attacks.
Iran welcomes Yemen truce
Iran welcomes a temporary UN-proposed truce in Yemen that would allow the entry of much needed fuel and food to the war-torn country as well as a partial opening of Sana’a airport there.
In a statement, foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh expressed hope that the ceasefire would help alleviate a dire humanitarian situation there. He said the move could be a prelude to the complete lifting of siege and the establishment of a permanent ceasefire to find a political solution to the crisis. The UN special envoy for Yemen announced that warring parties had agreed to a two-month truce starting Saturday, ahead of the holy month of Ramadan. Hans Grundberg said, they have also accepted to halt air, ground and maritime operations inside Yemen and across its borders. Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Ansarullah movement have welcomed the truce that would also ease sea and air restrictions imposed on Yemen.
Pakistan-US tensions
Pakistan’s embattled prime minister has accused the US of backing regime change in his country.
Imran Khan says the move to remove him from power is a blatant interference in domestic politics by the US. He is facing a no-confidence vote on Sunday with an opposition claiming to have the necessary votes to oust him. The White House has denied that the US is seeking to remove Khan from power. In a sign of division between the Pakistani government and the military, army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa said Islamabad seeks to expand its relationship with Washington. This, a day after Islamabad protested to the US embassy over alleged interference in its internal affairs.
