Biden arrives in Germany on his last official visit, and Gaza and Ukraine are on his agenda

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Berlin – Today, Friday, US President Joe Biden will meet with a number of European leaders in Berlin during his last visit as President of the United States, during which he will seek in particular to push for a ceasefire in Gaza after Israel announced the killing of the head of the Palestinian faction movement, Yahya Sinwar.

Biden will hold a private meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, followed by a four-way meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, devoted to the issues of the Middle East and Ukraine.

Israel’s announcement – on Thursday evening – of the killing of Sinwar in a military confrontation in the Gaza Strip constitutes a turning point in the war that Israel has been waging against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

Upon his arrival in the German capital, Biden stated that he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “congratulated” him on the killing of Sinwar. He also announced that he would soon send his Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to Israel, expressing his hope that a ceasefire would be reached in Gaza.

He said it is time for this war to end and for the Israeli prisoners detained in Gaza to return.

The issue of Western support for Ukraine will be the second topic of this brief one-day visit to one of the main partners of the United States, the day after President Volodymyr Zelensky presented his “Victory Plan” to the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Two and a half years after the start of the Russian war on Ukraine, Kiev is experiencing great difficulties on the eastern front and is being subjected to continuous and bloody bombardment, targeting especially vital infrastructure.

Western mobilization is expected to weaken as public opinion grows weary and another major conflict erupts in the Middle East.

Germany, the second largest arms supplier to Kiev after the United States, has halved its allocation to Ukraine for 2025 to 4 billion euros.

“It is important that we evaluate all possibilities for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine,” Schulz said in Brussels.

None of the demands put forward by Zelensky in the “Victory Plan” have so far received unanimous support from allies, but US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stressed that what Biden is trying to do is “make our commitment to Ukraine sustainable.”

For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed Thursday evening in Brussels that the issue of security guarantees for Ukraine will be discussed at the meeting of Western leaders in Berlin. He added that he supports a request from Kyiv to invite Ukraine to participate in NATO summits.

”Milton” threatens Florida –

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

MIAMI (EFE).— The state of Florida is preparing for the arrival of Hurricane “Milton” this week, while the southeastern United States continues to recover from the devastation caused by “Helene,” which caused at least 230 deaths.

Tropical Storm “Milton” became a Category 1 hurricane yesterday after its winds intensified to 129 kilometers per hour, according to the United States National Hurricane Center (NHC).

It is forecast to rapidly intensify as it moves from east to northeast across the Gulf of Mexico and could make landfall next Wednesday as a potentially destructive Category 3 hurricane.

Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis increased the number of counties in a state of emergency included in the executive order he signed on Saturday to 51 and warned the population to take the hurricane seriously.

President Joe Biden is informed of the evolution of “Milton” and, as he stated in a statement, all “life-saving resources are being prepared before the storm.”

“Helen” left more than 230 dead and dozens missing, making it the deadliest hurricane in the United States since “Katrina” in 2005.

Yesterday, Sunday, Biden ordered the sending of another 500 soldiers to western North Carolina to work on recovery efforts and the search for the dozens of missing people.

The troops join the 1,000 that were sent to the area this week, in response to the request of Democratic Governor Roy Cooper.

The hit list has come out during the investigation of Lawrence Bishnoi, the head of the Bishnoi gang, which has become a symbol of terror in eleven states of India.

Lawrence Bishnoi told National Investigation Agency officials at Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Jail that he had five prominent figures on his hit list. Among them, Bollywood star Salman Khan ranks first.

Haryana’s Bishnoi community worships the blackbuck, while Salman Khan killed two blackbucks during the shooting of the film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ in 1998. Since then the Bishnoi gang has been following Salman Khan.

Shaganpreet Singh, the manager of slain singer Sidhu Musewala of Indian Punjab, is also on the Bishnoi gang’s hit list. Mandeep Dhariwal, Kaushal Choudhary and Amit Dagar also feature.
