“Appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails. It will fail you too. It will not happen.” The broadside came after Starmer — under pressure from his own party and a French push on the issue — made a conditional pledge to recognize a Palestinian state ahead of September’s United Nations General Assembly. The British prime minister told his Cabinet Tuesday that “now was the right time to move this position forward” because of the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and the diminishing prospects of a peace process. Starmer promised that the U.K. would recognize a Palestinian state in September unless the…
In Tuesday’s foreign ministry statement, Moscow said Norway’s decision represented “a gross violation” of the long-standing fisheries accord. It accused Oslo of undermining what it described as a “long-term effective system” for managing joint fish stocks in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. The Kremlin warned that Norway’s actions could jeopardize broader fisheries cooperation and threaten the sustainable exploitation of marine resources in the North Atlantic. “If Oslo is not ready to return to fulfilling the conditions prescribed by the 1976 agreement,” the ministry said, “the Russian side will take the necessary measures to protect the interests of domestic fisheries.” Norway’s…
POLITICO fait le point sur ce que l’on sait à ce stade. Energie Que contient l’accord ? Trump et von der Leyen ont convenu que l’UE achèterait pour 750 milliards de dollars de pétrole et de gaz naturel liquéfié aux Etats-Unis — ce montant inclurait également d’autres produits énergétiques, tels que le combustible nucléaire.

Qui gagne, qui perd ? En théorie, cet accord est une…

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar contacted his Greek counterpart, Giorgos Gerapetritis, regarding one recent incident, and the Athens government pledged to adopt a harsher stance and use anti-racist legislation to crack down on protesters. “Anyone who attempts to prevent a third-country national from entering the country legally will be prosecuted, arrested and subsequently subject to criminal proceedings under anti-racism legislation,” Minister for Public Order Michalis Chrisochoidis said last week. On Tuesday afternoon, demonstrators unfurled a huge Palestinian flag and shouted, “Free, free Palestine” as tourists disembarked the Crown Iris from Israel for bus tours of the island.
