Torn..

 

Israel rejected Turkish accusations on Tuesday following Ankara’s condemnation of Israeli military actions in Syria, as Turkey escalates its own operations in the war-torn country. 
The rising tensions have deepened the rift between the two nations and sparked concerns over regional stability and the fate of U.S.-backed Kurdish forces fighting ISIS.
On Monday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry criticized Israel for expanding settlements in the Golan Heights, calling it part of Israel’s "expansion of borders through occupation." 
Turkey urged Israel to comply with the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, which established a cease-fire between Israel and Syria.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the agreement void, arguing it no longer applied after forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad abandoned their positions on the Syrian side during the country’s civil war. Netanyahu has described the Golan Heights as a vital security buffer and integral to Israel’s defense strategy against Iran and Hezbollah, which operate in Syria.
The Great powers weaken the Syrian Government and economy for fourteen years, and now it is left to be run over by all. Who is benefitting out of its destruction?

Veganism..

 



Veganism is a lifestyle choice and form of activism that involves abstaining from the use of animal products

Vegans may avoid animal-derived food, clothing, and makeup. Veganism is motivated by a variety of reasons, including personal health, animal rights, environmentalism, and ethics. 

A vegan diet is based on plants and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.

Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan, getting some of your protein from plant-based protein sources is important. Replacing animal-based protein even just two meals per week for plant-based ones such as this three-bean chili will help improve your health. 

Another point about protein? It’s digested more slowly than carbohydrates and is a great tool to keeping you satisfied after a meal.

Ordained..

 

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a formidable former City Hall official and top consigliere of Mayor Eric Adams, is expected to be indicted in Manhattan as soon as Monday, The Post has learned.

Multiple sources close to Lewis-Martin said Sunday that she and her legal team were bracing for the criminal charges to emerge this week from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, leading to her sudden departure from the administration over the weekend.

The Manhattan prosecutors and city investigators have been probing the top aide’s alleged role in leasing commercial properties to her close friends.

For years, Lewis-Martin has served as Adams’ closest ally and — as she once told the New York Times — the mayor’s “sister ordained by God.

Clemency..

 

President Biden is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities. He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.

ABC..

 

 ABC will pay $15 million as part of a legal settlement with President-elect Donald Trump, closing out a dispute that centered on an interview in which Trump alleged anchor George Stephanopoulos defamed him.
Just a thought.
