NATO chief..

 

The NATO military alliance has joined calls for a “humanitarian pause” in the Israel-Hamas conflict to allow critical aid to get into Gaza.
Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance’s secretary-general, told reporters on Thursday that they are supporting diplomatic efforts for a humanitarian cease-fire.
“International law must be respected, civilians must be protected, and NATO allies support a humanitarian pause to allow aid to reach Gaza,” he said in Berlin ahead of a bilateral meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“The suffering we have seen in recent weeks reminds us once again that we must not give up work for a lasting, peaceful, political solution,” Stoltenberg said.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7

Peace..

 

After 100 days of Israel Bombing Gaza, thousands of civilians died, no fuel, food, water, and moving million and a half from north to south and back after pulverizing half of the building in Gaza, still the hostages were not returned.

Not only that, but some hostages died and some got killed by the Israel forces "accidentally."

Israel choose not to have cease fire to get back the hostages since Hamas asked for the release of many Palestinians in Israel Prisons and more humanitarian supply to reach Gaza.

Many hostages were released earlier on a short period ceasefire, Why cant this happened on a longer time of peace.  

Israel has a different goal other than the hostage's release........   Just a thought.

Leak..

 

Illegitimate..

 


The Biden administration on Friday restored a U.S. legal finding dating back nearly 50 years that Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are “illegitimate” under international law.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. believes settlements are inconsistent with Israel’s obligations, reversing a determination made by his predecessor, Mike Pompeo, in the Biden administration’s latest shift away from the pro-Israel policies pursued by former President Donald Trump.
Blinken’s comments came in response to a reporter’s question about an announcement that Israel would build more than 3,300 new homes in West Bank settlements as a riposte to a fatal Palestinian shooting attack.
This came at a time of growing U.S.-Israeli tensions over the war in Gaza, with the latest settlement announcement only adding to the strain. It also came as the United Nations’ highest court, the International Court of Justice, is holding hearings into the legality of the Israeli occupation.

ACS..

 

People who have had a heart attack should immediately be offered a combination of cholesterol lowering drugs with statins and another cholesterol medication, new research suggests.

The study found that people with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) – which includes those who have experienced a heart attack or unstable angina – were 47% less likely to die within three years if they started taking a high dose statin and ezetimibe straight away, compared to just the high dose statin.

This study shows that if we act quickly and decisively to lower patients’ cholesterol with this combination of treatments, we can drastically reduce the risk of death.

The research was led by Maciej Banach, Professor of Cardiology at the Medical University of Lodz, Poland, and Adjunct Professor at the Ciccarone Centre for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA.

Broken..

 

The Russian military has broken the stalemate in the Ukraine war, Robert Gates, former CIA director and secretary of Defense, said Wednesday, following Moscow’s successful push to take the front-line city of Avdiivka.

“It’s no longer a stalemate. The Russians have regained momentum,” Gates told The Washington Post in a streaming interview. “Everything I’m reading is that the Russians are on the offensive along the 600-mile front.” 

  Ukraine now is confronting artillery shortages due to flagging U.S. support, “the Russians are feeling that the tides have turned.

Russian officials announced Monday that its forces finalized their capture of the key Ukrainian city of Avdiivka after taking full control of the city’s large coke plant. The costly operation marked Russia’s first major victory in months, and its most significant gain since taking nearby Bakhmut last spring.  Just a thought.
