Hamas blames Netanyahu for derailing Gaza truce "Palestinian resistance group Hamas accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing the Gaza ceasefire deal for his political gains. Hamas official Izat al-Rishq warned that Netanyahu's actions are a waste of time and an attempt to manipulate the captives' fate. Meanwhile, Israeli tanks stormed Palestinian city of Jenin, in a dramatic escalation of military raids in the occupied West Bank. Witnesses reported indiscriminate Israeli gunfire before the tanks retreated, with videos capturing the chaos and thick smoke. No injuries were reported. " US is 'just about' lifting intelligence freeze on Ukraine "President Donald Trump has said that the US has ""just about"" lifted its intelligence-sharing freeze with Ukraine, a decision with major security stakes. The reconciliation move from the US comes as top officials gear up for crucial talks in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine may face pressure to make concessions to Russia. However, the fate of a key minerals deal between Washington and Kiev also hangs in the balance. Despite these challenges, President Trump expresses optimism that substantial progress will be made this week." Liberal Party elects new leader, Canada's next PM "Mark Carney has been elected leader of Canada's Liberal Party and he is set to become the country's next prime minister. He replaces Justin Trudeau, who resigned in January following declining approval ratings after nearly a decade in power. The 59-year-old former central banker, known for tackling crises, secured over 85 percent of the vote. Carney, an outsider with no prior political office experience, is poised to face his toughest challenge yet. Managing Canada's response to US tariffs under President Donald Trump remains key issue." Iran shows openness to discuss nuclear concerns with US "Iran signalled openness to talks with the US on Sunday, but only if discussions focus on concerns about the militarisation of its nuclear programme. Tehran's UN mission stressed that it would not negotiate away its peaceful nuclear ambitions. Earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who dismissed US offers for a broader deal, said that such talks would aim to limit Iran's missile capabilities and regional influence. Khamenei underlined that military and influence demands wouldn't resolve the tensions with the West." Türkiye warns against provocations in Syria's clashes "Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has warned against efforts to provoke the Syrian government's policy of restraint amid over clashes in Syria between government forces and loyalists of ousted regime leader Bashar al Assad. He stressed the need for Alawites, Christians, Druze and Nusayris to stay clear of provocations. Fidan reaffirmed Türkiye's commitment to supporting Syria's new government in restoring peace. The summit in Jordan, which included key regional officials, focused on regional security, counterterrorism, and Syria's stability."

El ex director del FMI, Claudio Loser, comentó acerca de cuáles podrían ser los problemas actuales en la negociación del nuevo acuerdo con el FMI: “Creo que está muy avanzado en la parte fiscal monetaria, no veo ningún problema. Yo veo problemas en cuanto a fechas para salir del cepo. Y la otra cosa es que el fondo le debe decir a la Argentina ustedes no se gasten el dinero que nosotros les damos. Mi ley dijo que no era aumento de deuda, eso es mirándolo desde el gobierno central. Pero si juntamos el banco central con el gobierno, que es lo que el fondo hace, lo que el fondo está haciendo es dándole un préstamo y no quiere que se gaste. Eso es lo que deben estar peleando”. Respecto al deseo del fondo de salir del CEPO, Loser dijo: “Evidentemente el fondo quiere que se salga del cepo, el fondo quiere, supongo que quiere que el tipo de cambio sea diferente, eso es demasiado, eso no creo que sea algo que el fondo le vaya a decir inmediatamente”.Carlos Pagni mostró un gráfico sobre el problema de competitividad de los salarios en dólares: “Relación de amistad con Milei, que es el tema del salario en dólar los salarios en dólares en esta época de este dm2 de esta salida que son en el en el dólar blue 1405 dólares y 1091 dólares ahora miren la suba desde noviembre diciembre del 23 enero del 24 hasta ahora el repunte de los salarios en dólares que plantean un problema de competitividad”.Guillermo Francos opinó acerca de las declaraciones del Presidente Trump sobre un posible acuerdo de libre comercio entre ambos países: “Yo creo que el Presidente Trump expresó un apoyo explícito allí en Estados Unidos, lo volvió a expresar después, ya cuando el Presidente Milei estaba acá en la Argentina. Yo creo que hay una sintonía muy importante que va a servir para muchas cosas, entre otras puede servir para conseguir el apoyo también en el tratamiento del acuerdo que está muy avanzado, ¿no? Así que por supuesto que Estados Unidos es decisivo en estos temas, es muy importante su apoyo y seguramente el Presidente Milei lo va a obtener”.Donald Trump afirmó sobre las políticas de diversidad e inclusión: “Hemos acabado con la tiranía de las políticas de diversidad, equidad e inclusión a través de todo el gobierno federal y, de hecho, del sector privado y de nuestra militaria. Y nuestro país no será más abierto. Creemos que, sin importar si eres un médico, un accionista, un abogado o un controlador de tráfico de aire, deberías ser contratado y promovido basado en habilidad y competencia, y no en raza o género”.En su discurso en la exposición PDAC 2025 en Canadá, Karina Milei agradeció y manifestó el deseo de que inviertan en el país: “Estoy muy feliz de haber participado de un montón de encuentros en el marco de la FIDAN. He logrado el objetivo de demostrar el apoyo que tiene el gobierno de Natalia Milay para la Secretaría de Minería y todo su equipo económico. Este gobierno trabaja día a día por hacer una economía más estable, más abierta al mundo y, por supuesto, más atractiva para inversiones. En esta nueva Argentina están todos bienvenidos para que vengan y hagan sus inversiones y tengan seguro que esta Argentina va a cumplir con todo lo que se pacte”.Noticias del miércoles 5 de marzo por María O'Donnell y el equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

Sie startete 2016 als virtuelle Assistentin, baute sich eine starke Community auf und begleitet heute Frauen dabei, sich als VA erfolgreich selbstständig zu machen.

Am 9. Januar 2013 sitzen drei Frauen in Paris zusammen, trinken Tee und unterhalten sich im kurdischen Informationszentrum in der Nähe des Gare du Nord. Sakine, Fidan und Leyla haben alle drei wichtige Positionen in der kurdischen Freiheitsbewegung - Sakine ist sogar 1978 Gründungsmitglied der PKK gewesen. Die drei wägen sich in Sicherheit. Dann betritt ein Mann den Raum. Es ist Ömer - Die drei Frauen kennen ihn. Er hilft öfter bei Übersetzungen, oder fährt Leute zu Terminen. Doch heute ist er weder als Übersetzer, noch als Fahrer da, sondern als Mörder. Denn was weder Sakine noch die anderen beiden Frauen ahnen: Ömer Güney handelt im Auftrag des türkischen Geheimdiensts. Bücher & Quellen:Anja Flach: Jiyanekê Din - ein anderes LebenSakine Cansız: Mein ganzes Leben war ein Kampfhttps://anfdeutsch.com/hintergrund/wie-sakine-cansiz-die-grundung-der-pkk-erlebte-35097https://anfdeutsch.com/hintergrund/die-anatomie-der-morde-von-paris-teil-1-23774https://www.fr.de/politik/oemer-gueney-11285824.htmlDie Hintergrundmusik unseres Spendenaufrufs ist "Local Forecast – Elevator by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/"Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 LicenseSupport the show Schickt uns Feedback an hallo-gkw@riseup.net Abonniert unseren Telegram-Kanal @linkegeschichte um die Fotos zu sehen und keine Folge zu verpassen. t.me/linkegeschichte Unterstützt diesen Podcast mit einer Spende: https://steadyhq.com/de/linkegeschichte/about

Dışişleri Bakanı Hakan Fidan dedi ki: “Türkiye ve Avrupa, Sarkozy öncesi çizgiye dönmeli.” Fidan'ın sözleri şu gerçeğe dayanıyor: “Sarkozy dönemine kadar, Almanya ve Fransa'nın siyasi liderleri, Türkiye'nin AB üyeliğini stratejik bir adım olarak gördü.” Ama sonra iş değişti. Üstelik sadece Türkiye-AB ilişkileri bağlamında değil. Karşımızda stratejik öngörü yeteneğini, (Merkel'den sonra) lider çıkarma kapasitesini kaybetmiş, diplomasinin d'sini bilmeyen, yükselen ırkçılığın kayığına binmiş, nobran bir AB (Fransa-Almanya) var. Ekonomik güç büyük ama başı kesilmiş tavuk gibiler. Rusya'nın Ukrayna saldırısı kimyalarını bozdu. Yeni arayışlara girdiler. Türkiye ile de farklı bir ilişki kurmak istiyorlar.

Meanwhile, the FBI has stated there is no definitive link between this incident and a separate vehicular attack that occurred in New Orleans on New Year's Day. *) Türkiye to protect all 'aggrieved groups' in Syria Türkiye remains committed to protecting all "aggrieved groups" in Syria, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said.

He also called for international backing in Syria's reconstruction and reaffirmed Türkiye's readiness to aid in securing the country's borders and handling Daesh detainees.

*) Gaza faces its gravest humanitarian crisis amid Israeli war — UN The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees has raised alarms over the dire conditions in Gaza, where thousands of children are hospitalised due to acute malnutrition. Louise Wateridge, UNRWA's senior emergency officer, told reporters in Geneva that Gaza now has the world's highest number of child amputees, with many surgeries being conducted without anaesthesia. She added that a lack of medicine and medical equipment is causing preventable deaths, as health workers on the ground struggle to treat patients with basic care. *) Israel gives ultimatum to Palestinians in northern Gaza to flee The Israeli army has issued an ultimatum to Palestinians in southeastern Jabalia, northern Gaza, demanding they evacuate ahead of a planned assault.

Fidan told private broadcaster NTV on Friday that Syria now has a "sovereign national government" capable of reclaiming its territory, arguing that this government would not recognise the authority of either the PKK/YPG terror group or "any other power" on its soil. The goal is to have a structure in Syria where terrorism does not exist, terror organisations like the PKK/YPG and Daesh do not receive support, minorities are not mistreated, and basic needs are met, Fidan added. *) Canada vows to hit back hard if US imposes tariffs Canada will respond forcefully if the incoming Trump administration follows through on a promise to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Freeland, and the 10 provincial premiers have held two recent phone calls to coordinate strategies against a potential 25% tariff on Canadian imports.

President Vladimir Putin has signed off on a law allowing those who enlist to fight in Ukraine to cancel unpaid debts of up to $96,000. This incentive targets new recruits, with the promise extending to contracts signed after December 1. The relief isn't just for the fighters — their spouses are also covered. Analysts say this move aims to boost enlistment for a conflict that's now nearing its third year and straining Russia's manpower. *) Türkiye warns of escalating threats if Syria fails to progress: Fidan Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said Türkiye has no intention of aggression and regime change in Syria.

Blinken emphasised the need for a ceasefire to pave the way for broader diplomatic talks. *) In rare rebuke, Belgian leaders blast Pope for church sex abuse cover-up Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo slammed Pope Francis over the Catholic Church's handling of clerical sex abuse, demanding “concrete steps” to prioritise victims over the institution.

He also pointed out the strange behaviour of the Israeli delegation after his speech, saying, “They can't defend themselves. Their stance says it all.” *) World can't wait for Israel's nod to implement two-state solution: Fidan Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan criticised Israel for dragging its feet on the two-state solution, warning it could destabilise the entire region. Speaking at a meeting on Gaza at the UN, Fidan made it clear — the world can't wait for Israel's approval. He highlighted a recent Israeli parliament decision that rejected the idea of a Palestinian state, calling it “pure greed” and urging action. *) Africa unites at UNGA to demand permanent UNSC seats ‘with veto power' At the UN General Assembly, African leaders stood united in their long-standing demand for permanent seats on the UN Security Council — and they want veto power too. Charles Milupi, a Zambian minister, told TRT World that Africa's message is getting louder, with leaders saying it's time for better representation at the United Nations. Milupi also called on the current permanent members — the US, UK, China, Russia and France — to listen and reform the Security Council. *) Zelenskyy presents ‘victory plan' to Biden In a high-stakes meeting at the White House, US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed the ongoing conflict with Russia. The US had just announced nearly $8 billion in new aid for Ukraine. Biden laid out plans to ramp up security assistance, while Zelenskyy presented his strategy for achieving victory over Russia.

Turkey is stepping up its efforts to mediate between Somalia and Ethiopia as tensions rise between the two Horn of Africa nations. This diplomatic initiative is part of Ankara's broader strategy to solidify its growing influence in this strategically vital region. Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan described August's second round of indirect talks in Ankara between his Ethiopian and Somali counterparts as constructive and positive."We were able to focus on the details and technicalities of concrete steps that are important convergences on some major principles and specific modalities", Fidan said."This constitutes notable progress."While there was no breakthrough, all sides agreed to meet again in September.Controversial deal Ethiopian-Somali tensions have escalated since January, when Ethiopia signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland, a breakaway state from Somalia.Under the agreement, Ethiopia would secure sea access in exchange for recognising Somaliland, a deal condemned by Somalia as an infringement on its territorial integrity."Ethiopia needs access to a coastline", said Dubai-based geopolitical consultant Norman Ricklefs."It's the second-largest country in Africa. It's a booming economy. And, somehow, that deal needs to be made, but it's not going to be easy because of the previous deal earlier this year with Somaliland."Ricklefs predicts that finding a solution will require considerable diplomatic finesse."It's not going to be easy to convince the Somalis to grant that [Ethiopian demands], feeling that they're under pressure right now because of the deal that was previously done with Somaliland," he said."But I think Turkey is probably best placed, as they have a very close relationship with both Ethiopia and Somalia."Somalia recently threatened to block access to Ethiopian Airlines in the latest bout of diplomatic tensions. Meanwhile, Egypt could reportedly deploy soldiers to Somalia, a move that threatens to further escalate and broaden tensions, given existing Ethiopian-Egyptian conflicts.Ethiopia and Somalia move closer to resolving Somaliland disputeDeepening influenceThe situation between Somalia and Ethiopia is expected to be discussed during Wednesday's summit in Turkey, where Egyptian President Sisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are set to meet.Africa expert Elem Eyrice-Tepecikoglu from the African studies department of Ankara's Social Sciences University said Turkey's historical and deepening economic and military ties with both Somalia and Ethiopia give it an advantageous position in its mediating efforts."Somalia has a very important place in Turkey's Africa policy. Turkey has established its largest embassy in Somalia's capital, and it also established its largest military training facility, again in Somalia," said Tepecikoglu."But Turkey also has old and established relations with Ethiopia as well. There are several investments of Turkish companies in the country, and Turkey also signed a military cooperation agreement with Ethiopia. Reportedly, Turkish drones were used against the Tigray rebel forces."Growing military buildup in Azerbaijan and Armenia a concern for peace talksEconomic, military stakesEarlier this year, the Somali parliament ratified a naval agreement with Turkey to protect its territorial waters and a deal to search for hydrocarbons. Turkey is second only to China in investment in Ethiopia, including selling its military-proven drones.Analysts suggest that there is more than diplomatic prestige at stake for Ankara in resolving Ethiopian-Somali tensions, given the region's potential and geostrategic importance as a critical world trading route."There's a reason why the Horn of Africa has American military bases and Chinese military bases. The Japanese even have a base in that area. All of them think the Horn of Africa is a pretty significant region for global shipping," Ricklefs said."It's a region that has not been developed. It has hydrocarbon resources and other resources like agricultural resources that have not been developed and would need networks and infrastructure that a country like Turkey could provide if there was security and stability."Ethiopian and Somali talks are set to resume in September. Success would underline Turkey's growing influence in a region of increasing international competition, while failure could threaten two decades of Turkish investment in the region.

While summer may be winding down, water scarcity, overcrowded streets and rising housing costs are infuriating locals across southern European countries - especially those that rely on tourism. Greece is no exception, and we are seeing reactions to overtourism not only on Greece's top island destinations, but also in cities like Athens. Professor Dimitris Vayanos joins Thanos Davelis to look into Greece's reliance on tourism and explore whether it is time for Greece to change its tourism model, improving what is a vital product for the country while transitioning to a more innovative economy. Dimitris Vayanos, is a professor of finance at the London School of Economics, the co-editor of the book "Beyond Austerity: Reforming the Greek Economy," and a member of the Pissarides Commission which developed a growth plan for Greece at the request of the Greek government.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Analysis: Is it time for Greece to change its tourism model?From tourism to an innovative economyGreece and Saudi Arabia lead effort to tow Greek tanker attacked in Red SeaGerapetritis raises Kasos issue with Fidan

Lula said "Nothing is as absurd and unacceptable in the 21st century as the persistence of hunger and poverty, when we have so much abundance and so many scientific and technological resources at our disposal.”

*) Israel kills 48 Palestinians in Gaza in less than an hour The civil defence agency in Gaza said three air strikes in less than one hour — including on a school — killed at least 48 people. Israel said it carried out two of the strikes that the civil defence agency said also left dozens more wounded. According to an updated toll, 25 people were killed at the UN-run Al Razi School in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, 18 people were killed at Al Mawasi in Khan Younis and five more were killed in a strike at Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. *) Türkiye's Fidan discusses Gaza crisis, ceasefire negotiations with Haniyeh Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan has held a telephone conversation with Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh to discuss the situation in besieged Gaza. The two sides discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which has reached catastrophic levels due to Tel Aviv's ongoing war on the besieged enclave. They also discussed the worrying developments resulting from increasing hunger and diseases, especially in the north of Gaza. *) Ukraine joining NATO would mean declaration of war: Medvedev Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has said the accession of Ukraine to NATO would be a declaration of war against Moscow. He said only “prudence” on behalf of the alliance could prevent the planet from being shattered into pieces. The leaders of the NATO pledged at their summit last week to support Ukraine on an “irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership,” but left open when that membership could happen. *) Harris extends debate challenge to Vance as Trump VP pick US Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican JD Vance had their first chat since the Ohio senator became the GOP vice presidential nominee.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's visit to China earlier this month is the latest diplomatic effort by Ankara to become a strategic trade hub between Europe and China. But Beijing's suspicions over Ankara's support of Chinese Uyghur dissidents is widely seen as an obstacle. Bilateral trade and developing new trade routes were at the top of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's agenda for his recent China visit.According to Cagdas Ungor, an expert on China and professor of political science at Istanbul's Marmara University, Turkey wants to be a part of the shift in global trading towards the Asia Pacific region."Turkey needs to rebuild all these connections in order to remain at the center of things, maintaining its bridge status between East and West," he explained to RFI.Ankara is seeking backing from Beijing of its "Middle Corridor" trade route, which would link China with Europe via Turkey.Until now, such efforts have made little progress, but Ungor says this could change due to the world economy resetting to circumvent sanction-hit Russia. Middle Corridor has been on the table between China and Turkey for a long time, Ungor says.Window of opportunity"The idea of it has become more popular now because of the Russian sanctions, and Europeans are now also interested in alternative channels. There's a window of opportunity," he says.But Beijing is critical of Ankara offering refuge to China's predominantly Muslim Uyghur minority.The Chinese have not forgotten that in 2009, when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was Prime Minister, he described China's crackdown on Uyghurs as "near genocide". Beijing furious over damning UN rights report on Uyghurs in XinjiangThe international community, including the United States and the European Union, have also accused China of incarcerating tens of thousands of its largest Muslim minority in camps in an effort to strip them of their Muslim identity. Beijing has denied these accusations, saying the camps are designed to combat separatism and weed out Islamist extremists.Since then, the issue seems to have become water under the bridge, judging by the warm reception Turkey's diplomat was given on his China visit at the beginning of June.Analysts say Fidan used more conciliatory language on the issue during his trip which included a stop in Xinjiang, home to many Uyghurs.Respect for one-China policyUngor says the the Chinese were "happy" with Fidan's visit, as it further underlined Turkey's support for China's one-China policy."The official Chinese media focused on the fact that Turkey respects China's territorial integrity," Ungor says."And Fidan's remarks on Xinjiang's economic development, social harmony, respect for cultural rights" made a good impression, adds Ungor.Turkey's pro-government media even praised Fidan for wearing a turquoise blue tie, the color of the Uyghur community and referring to the region's Turkic Muslim roots.  Erdogan hopes a U-turn can salvage Turkey's floundering economyHowever, some members of the Uyghur diaspora were alarmed by Fidan's visit. Uyghur leader Seyit Tumturk, the head of East Turkistan National Assembly accused the Chinese administration of "trying to legitimise its own genocide" by with Fidan's visit to the Uyghur region.Tumturk maintains that "Hakan Fidan saw what China wanted him to see, but no more," suggesting that if China had nothing to hide, then it should allow international independent observers to have the opportunity to go there "and visit not only places China says to see but also the back streets, to visit the households, and to determine the agony, pain, and torture there," he concludes.WildcardAdding to Uyghur dissidents' unease over Fidan's China visit are growing rumors that Ankara is ready to acquiesce to Beijing's lobbying to ratify an extradition agreement held up in the Turkish parliament in the face of strong opposition. "The ultranationalist opposition claims that China got a promise from Fidan that the Turkish parliament will finally ratify an extradition treaty, which will allow Uyghurs to be sent back to China," explains China specialist Ceren Ergenc, a visiting fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies."There's no way that we can know if it's true or not, we need to wait and see. If it's correct, then it's a huge compromise from Turkey's side," adds Ergenc.Such a compromise could help overcome Beijing's current reluctance to collaborate with Ankara. But any move by Ankara against the Uyghurs will be risky given the strong Turkish public support for the Chinese minority."China informally bypasses Turkey in its regional plans. Turkey is a wild card for China," claims Ergenc, adding that Turkey is also officially classified as a high-risk country for investment for Chinese companies."The Uyghur diaspora is very strong in Turkey in terms of the voter base of the conservative parties. So you never know how a statement like Erdogan's ten years ago could come and create a crisis between the two countries.

The Turkish government has announced restrictions on Israeli trade, along with the suspension of scheduled flights to Israel. The moves come in the aftermath of a shock defeat for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party in nationwide local elections, in which the opposition targeted trade with Israel amid growing condemnation over the war in Gaza. Turkish Airlines announced that it will not resume flights to Israel until March next year.At the same time, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced sanctions on Israel after aid deliveries to Gaza were blocked by Israel."We have submitted our request to join this aid operation with cargo planes belonging to our air force. We learned today that our request – which had been approved by Jordanian authorities – was rejected by Israel," Fidan told a press conference."There can be no excuse for Israel preventing our attempts to send aid from the air to our Gazan brothers who are fighting hunger. In response to this situation, we have decided to take a series of new measures against Israel," he said.Ankara has banned the export of 54 products to Israel, including aviation fuel, steel, and cement.Fidan said the export ban would remain in force until Israel declares a ceasefire and allows aid to be delivered unhindered. Turkey under fire after declaring Hamas a 'liberation' group Iran leader to visit Turkey as rapprochement continues over Gaza war'Hypocritical stance'Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned the Turkish sanctions, accusing Ankara of supporting Hamas, and warned of retaliation.The trade restrictions come amidst growing criticism in Turkey of the ruling AKP party's stance of condemning Israel's war on Hamas but maintaining trade relations, which the opposition claims supports the Israeli military war effort.The government's stance had become untenable, argues Soli Ozel, a lecturer in international relations at Istanbul's Kadir Has University.There is "pressure from the public over this hypocritical stance on Israel", he says. "You have all these AKP-related businesses or AKP politicians very closely, intimately trading with Israel and stuff. They [the government] had to respond somewhat; they had to show that they were doing something."Suspending Turkish Airlines flights was the "best, most effective, and most visible way of doing it", according to Ozel."I think there must be over 30 daily flights, and this was supposed to be one of the most profitable lines that Turkish Airlines operate."Electoral meltdownLast month, President Erdogan's AKP suffered its worst electoral defeat to date in nationwide local elections.The Islamist Yeniden Refah Party – led by Fatih Erbakan, son of Erdogan's former political mentor Necmettin Erbakan – targeted the AKP's religious base, focusing his campaign on condemning the Turkish president for continuing to trade with Israel."Fatih Erbakan is once again an important figure apparently," observes Istar Gozaydin, a specialist on Turkish religion and state relations at Istanbul's Istinye University."I think the sort of end is near for AKP, but I guess it will be replaced by the Yeniden Refah Party," he adds.Crucial relationsProtests in Turkey are continuing against relations with Israel. However, Israeli analysts say trade and travel are vital to maintain bilateral ties at times of diplomatic tension. "It's unprecedented; there's for so long no flights from Turkey to Israel and from Israel to Turkey, and that's a damage to the relationship," warns Gallia Lindenstrauss, an expert with the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv."Also for business relationships, it's very important to have a regular transport route."  With spy raids, Turkey warns Israel not to seek Hamas revenge on Turkish soil Turkey talks tough on Israel but resists calls to cut off oil"There were things that kept the relations going, even though the political relations were in crisis," she explains."And one element was the economic relations, and part of this was also the travel connections and the transport connections between Turkey and Israel, and the fact that people-to-people relations were enabled."All eyes on GazaEven when Israeli forces in 2010 killed 10 Turkish citizens delivering aid by ship to Gaza, flights and trade between the countries were unaffected.But analysts warn given the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel's ongoing war against Hamas, this time could be different."This is a goddamn massacre that's going on for six months that people are watching live," says international relations expert Ozel."People are watching live, and this is truly unconscionable; that's why the level of protest on this particular issue of trading with Israel has increased as the devastation became even worse."With Israeli forces poised to launch a new offensive into Gaza, protests against ongoing Turkish trade with Israel are predicted to grow – and add further pressure on Erdogan.

*) Israel suffers deadliest single-day loss since start of Gaza ground war Twenty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the biggest single-day losses since the start of its ground war in Gaza. Intense fighting has been raging in southern and central Gaza, where Israel says it has been attacking the remaining strongholds of Hamas and trying to clear areas near the border. It was in one of those border areas that 21 of the soldiers died when there was an explosion in a building and it collapsed. Israel's brutal war on Gaza — now in its 110th day — has killed at least 25,490 Palestinians and wounded 63,354, local authorities say. *) EU says Israel can't 'have veto' to block creation of Palestinian state EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has said that Israel cannot be allowed to unilaterally block the creation of a Palestinian state after the war. This comes after Borell chaired talks between the EU's 27 foreign ministers and top diplomats from Israel, the Palestinian Authority and key Arab states. Meanwhile, speaking at the UN Security Council meeting, the Palestinian foreign minister said Israel had denied Palestinians existence, rights and humanity. *) Ukraine war hits day 700 amid spike in Russian missile strikes The war in Ukraine has hit its 700th day amid a spike in Russian missile strikes. A wave of new Russian missiles hit Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, killing 18 people and wounding more than 100, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Rescue workers in Kharkiv hauled survivors from smouldering piles of rubble as apartment blocks were toppled by the strikes. *) Türkiye slams international failure to stop bloodshed in Gaza Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has criticised the international community for its perceived failure to intervene and halt Israel's ongoing conflict with Palestine. Fidan said that the argument claiming the current war is primarily about ensuring Israel's security lacks credibility. He criticised the proponents of this viewpoint for neglecting to address the security concerns of Palestinians and Palestine's right to self-defence. And finally… *) Trump triumphs in New Hampshire primary, leaving Haley in shadows Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire's Republican primary, delivering a setback to rival Nikki Haley. Tuesday was his second straight victory in his quest for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. He won Iowa's leadoff caucuses by 30 percentage points. Allies of President Joe Biden, meanwhile, are hoping their write-in campaign on the Democratic side is successful.

*) Thousands at Al Shifa Hospital ‘fighting death' Over 7,000 displaced people, patients, and medical staff at Al Shifa Hospital are “fighting death due to a lack of water and food” caused by the Israeli military blockade. There is “no food, water, or milk for infants at Al Shifa Hospital,” Gaza's media office said on Telegram. It added that they “may lose a number of malnourished children at the hospital due to the power outage, leaving them without incubators.” *) Blinken urges Israel to take action against settler violence in occupied West Bank US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called on Israel to take “urgent” action to stop settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Blinken made the plea in a telephone call with Benny Gantz, an opposition leader who joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wartime cabinet. Blinken “stressed the urgent need for affirmative steps to de-escalate tensions in the [occupied] West Bank, including by confronting rising levels of settler extremist violence.” *) Heads of UN agencies reject unilateral proposals to create ‘safe zones' in Gaza The leaders of a number of UN agencies and humanitarian organisations have said they will not take part in any “safe zones” in Gaza declared by Israel. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee said in a statement that they “will not participate in the establishment of any ‘safe zone' in Gaza that is set up without the agreement of all the parties.” The committee added that under the current circumstances, any proposals to unilaterally establish “safe zones” are likely to harm civilians. *) Turkish FM urges West to uphold moral values over Gaza brutality Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has taken a tough stance on the ongoing Israeli attack on Gaza. He said, “being silent on Israel's lawlessness in Gaza is tantamount to giving the green light to other lawlessness around the world.” Fidan called on the Western world “to uphold moral values and refrain from being complicit in the blatant violation of human rights in Gaza.” *) TikTok to ban viral videos promoting bin Laden's ‘Letter to America' TikTok has said it will prohibit content that promotes Osama bin Laden's 2002 letter detailing the former al Qaeda leader's explanation for attacking America. The letter criticised US support for Israel and accused Americans of financing the “oppression” of Palestinians. TikTok said in a statement, “Content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism,” adding that reports that it was “trending” on the platform were inaccurate.

Dışişleri Bakanı Hakan Fidan, İsrail ile Filistin arasında yaşanan kriz için garantörlük formülü önerdi. Bazı ülkelerin Filistin adına, bazı ülkelerin de İsrail adına garantör olmasını öneren Fidan, "Buna Türkiye de dahil. İsrail için de başka ülkeler garantör olsunlar. Antlaşmaya varıldıktan sonra, bunun gereklerinin yerine getirilmesi hususunda garantör ülkeler sorumluluk üstlensin" dedi. Gökçe Çiçek Kösedağı sordu, Nuray Mert cevapladı.

Heatwaves around the Mediterranean - from Spain to Greece - have damaged olive harvests, with recent reports indicating that Europe has almost run out of local olive oil supplies. For its part, Greece- a key exporter of high quality extra virgin olive oil to the rest of the world - is expected to produce a third less than last year, and consumers are already experiencing significant price hikes on a product that is seen as essential in every Greek home. Vasilis Frantzolas, an olive oil seminar teacher and taster and the publisher of the book "Modern Techniques for Olive Growing and Production of Quality Olive Oil", joins Thanos Davelis to look at the scope of the crisis facing the olive oil industry today, break down what these shortages and inevitable price hikes mean for countries like Greece, and explore whether climate change is putting the future of this ancient industry at risk.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Europe's olive oil supply running out after drought – and the odd hailstormMajor olive oil heist in Halkidiki as prices surgeTurkey's Fidan declares all PKK, YPG facilities in Syria, Iraq as 'legitimate targets'Turkey threatens to expand strikes in Syria, IraqAnkara tables old energy proposal undermining existing framework on Cyprus
