Israel in crisis
Israel’s prime minister has reportedly postponed visits to Turkey and Cyprus after being hospitalized overnight to get a pacemaker. Israeli media reported the cancellation of Benjamin Netanyahu’s visits, without offering further details. He is expected to be discharged from the hospital later on Sunday, in time to take part in a key vote on his judicial reforms in the Knesset on Monday. The contested legislation has triggered back-to-back mass protests against his cabinet. The latest is a march of tens of thousands that reached al-Quds on Saturday, a day before the opening of the Knesset’s debate on the reforms. The legislation is aimed at curbing the Supreme Court’s power to void the cabinet’s decisions. Opponents say this opens the door to abuse of power by Netanyahu and his ministers.
UK-Israel military ties
The UK’s military ties with Israel have repeatedly come under the spotlight, particularly in the face of the regime’s atrocities against Palestinians. The city of Leicester, for example, is the base of UAV Tactical Systems, owned by Israel’s largest arms firm, Elbit Systems. Now, members of a group called Palestine Action have laid siege to the factory, saying they will not leave until the production of military equipment for Israel is completely stopped.
Russia- Ukraine war
The Russian president says the counteroffensive by Ukraine to retake lost territory has failed. Putin made the remarks in his first meeting with the Belarusian president since he helped end a mutiny by Russia’s private military group Wagner and let them in Belarus. The Russian president said he would further discuss security in Eastern Europe with his Belarus counterpart during Aleksandr Lukashenko’s two-day visit in St. Petersburg. Lukashenko, for his part, said Kiev’s counteroffensive has left more than 26 thousand Ukrainian troops dead since early June. He added that Minsk was controlling the situation with the Wagner militants by keeping them in central Belarus despite their demands to march westward into Poland.
