⭕️ Germany is considering the large-scale return of Syrian refugees, with Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser holding talks with Syria's interim leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Mohammad al-Julani).

German newspaper BILD reports that the German government is contemplating a diplomatic visit to Damascus to negotiate terms. A spokesperson for the Interior Ministry confirmed that talks with Syria’s transitional government are ongoing, particularly about the return of Syrians currently in Germany.

However, the ministry declined to provide details on any specific travel arrangements.

The potential agreement could result in nearly 974,000 Syrians living in Germany returning to their homeland.

❗️The Government Media Office in Gaza:

"We condemn the horrific massacre committed by the Zionist Nazi occupation army this afternoon in the town of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of nine civilians, including several photographers and workers in the humanitarian and relief field. They were documenting the activities of one of the charitable organizations in the region.

We see this crime as a continuation of the war crimes committed by the occupation against our people, and a new escalation of its aggression, especially as it coincides with reports of orders from the Israeli political level for military escalation. This reflects the premeditated intent to commit the crime and the disregard for all international laws and conventions. Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, has not only committed the crime of besieging Gaza and depriving its residents of all means of life, but has also escalated the crimes of killing and targeting citizens.

We reject all the claims promoted by the occupation and deny its allegations to justify its crime. We confirm that the targeted team was entirely civilian and working in an area where there is a shelter center, performing a media documentation task for a charity organization. They were not in a prohibited area or one that posed any danger to the occupation army.

We have noticed the deliberate escalation of the occupation’s field crimes against citizens recently, where more than 150 martyrs have been killed since the ceasefire agreement took effect last January, including 40 martyrs in the past two weeks. All of them were unarmed civilians, including children who were gathering firewood or inspecting their homes when the occupation army targeted them.

We warn of the danger of the continued crimes of the occupation and hold the mediators and the international community accountable for their political, legal, and moral responsibilities to stop these horrific crimes and prevent the occupation from continuing its aggression against our people.

We call on the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to take urgent measures regarding the crimes committed by the occupation and its leaders, including the prime minister, who is wanted for justice in relation to the war crimes committed against our people."

○ “The Beit Lahia massacre and the ongoing criminal escalation, marked by deliberate killings and indiscriminate shelling across the Gaza Strip, underscore the occupation's intent to undermine the ceasefire agreement and its systematic efforts to sabotage any progress toward finalizing the agreement and facilitating a prisoner exchange. This constitutes a blatant disregard for the efforts of mediators and the international community."

○ “The escalation of the occupation's crimes since the ceasefire came into effect in January places the guarantor mediators, the United Nations, and all relevant parties under a moral and legal obligation to act. They must intervene to halt these atrocities, prevent the occupation from continuing its aggression against our people, and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions, which echo the crimes of Nazi regimes."

○ “We urge the mediators to take immediate and decisive action, applying pressure on the war criminal Netanyahu—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court—to compel his compliance with the agreed-upon terms."

○ “Netanyahu (wanted by the International Criminal Court) and his fascist government are solely responsible for obstructing the prisoner exchange process and the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. They must also bear responsibility for the prolonged suffering of Israeli prisoners and their families, a direct result of their intransigence and refusal to adhere to international agreements."

❗️The United States is said to have turned down a proposal from the Iraqi government last month regarding the release of Israeli-Russian 'researcher' Elizabeth Tsurkov, who wemt missing in March 2023.

The offer reportedly included a $500-200 million payment and the release of prisoners "loyal to Iran in Iraq and Lebanon" according to Asharq al-Awsat.

An Iraqi official informed Asharq al-Awsat that the government is continuing its efforts to free Tsurkov as soon as possible by negotiating with "friendly mediators" while staying within the bounds of the law.

This follows earlier statements from January, when Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told Axios that Tsurkov is still alive and that the Iraqi prime minister is actively working to secure her release.

A video of Tsurkov admitting to working for the Mossad and CIA surfaced in November 2023. She is believed to have entered Iraq on a Russian passport.

WATCH | Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee is posting blatant Israeli propaganda of what he refers to as a "Ramadan series."

The first episode talks about a young Palestinian man called Mohammad who accepts to deliver a box that was given to him in a mosque for 200 shekels, after he is told that he is a capable man.

Apparently Mohammad does not know what is in the box, and when his friends confront him about it, tell him that "Palestinians don't have room for more problems," and ask him if he saw what happened to Gaza, Mohammad backs down on delivering the box and says that they are men and not to worry.

Eventually, the young men confront a group of Israeli forces that detain them, then the Israeli forces proceed to storm a mosque supposedly full of resistance fighters.

At the end, the video says:

"These days, don't trust anybody. Money comes and goes, but your life and future can not be replaced. Remember, who sells you for a shilling, will sell someone else for free tomorrow."
