Memphis Zoo in the United States holds a farewell party for the giant panda "Ya Ya"

The Memphis Zoo in Memphis, Tennessee , hosted a farewell party for its female giant panda, Ya Ya, on Saturday.


It was reported that hundreds of people attended the farewell ceremony at the China Expo, where they said goodbye to "Ya Ya", signed letters, and watched cultural performances.


"If you can't make it to the party, there's still time," the Memphis Zoo wrote in an Instagram post earlier this week, adding, "'Ya Ya' will be here until the end of the month."


"I am so sad to see Ya Ya leaving. I knew this would happen eventually, but one is never prepared for a situation like this," someone said in an online comment, adding, "Goodbye my sweet princess."


Ya Ya came to the Memphis Zoo in 2003 with male giant panda Him Him as part of a partnership between the zoo, located in downtown Memphis, and the Chinese Association of Zoos.


The Memphis Zoo announced in December 2022 that its giant panda loan agreement with the Chinese Association of Zoos would expire in 2023.


Unfortunately, he died in February before they returned to China. The death occurred due to heart disease, according to an autopsy conducted by Chinese and American experts.


The Memphis Zoo has previously responded to concerns surrounding Ya Ya, who was born in China on August 3, 2000.


"With regard to her condition, people have noted that she is a very small bear," the Memphis Zoo wrote in a statement in February, adding, "Outwardly, this stems not from her diet, but from her family genes."


"'Ya Ya' also suffers from chronic skin and fur diseases that are inherently linked to her immune system and are directly affected by hormonal fluctuations," the statement read.


"This condition does not affect her quality of life, but makes her fur look thin and patchy at times," the statement continued, noting that "the case is being closely monitored by our animal care team and veterinary staff."

Yedioth: Iran opens fronts from Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria

The Hebrew newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, said, on Sunday, that Iran is acting on all fronts against Israel , including from Gaza , the West Bank , Lebanon and Syria , and that it is behind the recent escalation of events.


According to the newspaper, during the security discussions that took place in recent days, the Israeli army presented a very clear position related to increasing the possibility of attacks from multiple fronts, and that Israel is in conflict with Iran, which is trying to ignite all fronts, and has already succeeded in that, and to turn the Palestinians into A kind of additional extension for it to carry out attacks from the West Bank and Gaza and even among the "Israeli Arabs". According to what was stated in the newspaper.


The newspaper says that the security establishment expresses what is happening more clearly, that what Iran cannot do from afar, it is trying to do closely.


The newspaper believes that among the reasons for this Iranian move is the withdrawal of the United States from the region and its preoccupation with the Russian war in Ukraine, in addition to renewing relations with Saudi Arabia and Russia, in addition to the internal Israeli crisis and disagreements with the strategic ally the United States, and this created a golden opportunity to challenge Israel and define A price for the attacks carried out by Israel in Syria and inside Iran.


The newspaper pointed out that the Israeli assessments are that Hezbollah and its Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, are not aware of the missile launch from Lebanon in advance, although they are aware of the capabilities of Hamas in the country, and that it receives support from the Lebanese party, but this does not mean that it is against what happened. And that he prefers rounds of fighting to enter into a comprehensive confrontation with Israel, and that his aim is to change the equation on the northern borders and increase the erosion of the Israeli deterrence that was built after the Second Lebanon War.


The newspaper believed that this requires Israel to take urgent measures, including accelerating the readiness of the air defense system, accelerating the construction of the barrier on the northern border, filling defensive gaps, and coordinating communication with the Israeli public regarding the home front in any future war.


The newspaper pointed out that the assessment in Israel is that Hamas in Gaza is not interested in a sharp escalation, and that it prefers to continue "inciting" to carry out attacks from the West Bank and Jerusalem and trying to involve "Israeli Arabs". Besides, the rockets launched from Gaza were carried out by "rebel organizations", so the price the Israeli army brings is relatively low. As Yedioth Ahronoth says.


And she adds, "Sinwar knows that in the end, Israel took the tunnels from him through the underground barrier, and the threat of missiles by improving the Iron Dome system. Hence, the weak point for Israel is the attacks emanating from the cities of the West Bank," referring to the killing of 18. Israelis in just two and a half months, and we are still at the beginning of the year, while the total number last year was 32, numbers not recorded since the second intifada. as you say.


The newspaper believed that this is all the result of “unbridled incitement, the spread of a lot of weapons that flowed from everywhere, and most of the militants do not have a security past and do not belong to organizations, and it is difficult for the Shin Bet and the army to determine their location in advance, which makes the challenge more complex than it was in the past.” And given the difficult results, it is inevitable to rethink the division of the state of vigilance in the security system on all fronts, as the Hebrew newspaper continues.


She pointed out that during the last round, more than 50 rockets were launched from Gaza, and about 40 from Lebanon, but the damage was normal and simple, and there were no actual injuries. Even if the Iron Dome system sometimes erred by not responding to some of the missiles, it still provides excellent protection, and although the missiles pose a danger, the shooting, stabbing and run-over operations are more dangerous, and therefore it was decided to reinforce the forces of the Israeli army to assist the police in the cities of the interior to thwart No attacks.


She pointed out that all eyes are directed towards Al-Aqsa Mosque, noting that there are security warnings that the situation is still liable to explode, especially with the advent of the last ten days of Ramadan, which begins next Tuesday, which is more sensitive, especially if the government of Benjamin Netanyahu allows settlers to storm Al-Aqsa. During these days, despite the recommendation of the Israeli police last night not to allow it.


And the newspaper concludes: "These are very sensitive and even fateful days, as they require the utmost responsibility and consideration in the most sensitive issues."

The Israeli Mossad encouraged protests against the Netanyahu government

The New York Times reported, on Sunday, that the Israeli Mossad encouraged its employees, as well as Israelis, to participate in protest marches against the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu's government regarding " judicial reforms ."


According to the American newspaper, this was mentioned in confidential reports from the Pentagon, and it appears that it is the result of an assessment by the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States.


According to the leaked document, the leaders of the Mossad called on the officials and employees of the agency, as well as the Israelis, to participate in the protests and denounce the steps of the Netanyahu government.


The newspaper says that some Mossad employees asked for permission to participate in the demonstrations as ordinary citizens, and that the head of the apparatus, David Barnea, in consultation with the judicial advisor to the Israeli government, allowed the junior employees to participate as long as they did not reveal their identity as members of the apparatus, as the newspaper quoted an Israeli security official.


She noted that hundreds of former Mossad employees, including 5 former heads of the agency, signed a statement last March opposing the Netanyahu government's steps.


The newspaper says that the Mossad did not take a position on any political or social controversy in Israel, unlike the Shin Bet, which deals with internal security issues, and not external issues, as the Mossad does.


She pointed out that the information contained in the leaked documents overlaps with some baseless accusations promoted by Yair Netanyahu, the son of the Israeli prime minister, who claimed that hostile elements within the Israeli intelligence community and the US State Department were behind the protest.


Senior Israeli officials denied these reports, while the newspaper was unable, as it says, to independently verify the authenticity of these reports.


While current and former Israeli intelligence officials said that the old rules and traditions of the Mossad are not to interfere in any political crises.


Netanyahu's office said in response to the report that it is studying its contents.

Haaretz: The coming days are sensitive, despite the parties' desire to avoid a large-scale war

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said, on Sunday, that the coming days are very sensitive at the security level after the recent limited escalation, which demonstrated the desire of all parties, including Israel , Hamas and Hezbollah , to avoid a broad war, and Tel Aviv’s focus on containment and not moving to major offensive steps.


According to the Hebrew newspaper, the current round ended quickly, and Israel responded in a calculated manner to the rocket fire from Gaza and Lebanon, indicating that Hamas and Hezbollah had no interest in a large-scale war from these two fronts.


The newspaper believed that the Palestinian attacks that come from the West Bank in particular will be the most influential in the coming days after the Jordan Valley and Tel Aviv operations, especially as it takes on a more distinct religious character against the background of the month of Ramadan and what is happening in Al-Aqsa Mosque.


She claimed that Iran is inciting and financing attacks from the West Bank, as well as Hezbollah and Hamas, noting that the Palestinian youth generation is joining the conflict front in increasing numbers, while the leadership of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah is watching what is happening with a mixture of indifference and impotence.


And it is likely that the state of tension will remain in all directions during the coming days and that the sensitivity will increase due to the intersection of religious holidays among Muslims, Jews and Christians, so that Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain in the focus of the state of tension and as a major incentive for the current escalation. as you say.


She indicated that the Shin Bet still has a large number of warnings regarding possible attacks from the West Bank and in the Green Line areas in the near future.

City continued his advantage and Jack Grealish added to him the second goal when he broke the offside trap to enhance his team's progress (58).

Bayern's squad missed French defender Daewoo Upamecano due to suspension, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, Frenchman Lucas Hernandez and Cameroonian Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for injury, and Tuchel pushed Senegalese strikers Sadio Mane and Serge Gnabry up front.


Bayern, who dominated the course of the first half but collided with an organized defense, missed two chances to open the scoring through Gnabry (9) and Mane (18), while Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer blocked a powerful shot from Freiburg's Japanese midfielder Ritsu Doan (44).
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern needed the efforts of its Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt, who followed up with a powerful shot with his left foot, a ball from 25 meters from Jamal Musiala, into the net of Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flicken (51).


De Ligt said, "We had several chances and we should have translated them better, but fortunately we did not concede any goals."


Dortmund returned to victories after two successive losses in various competitions at the expense of the injured Union Berlin, which in turn was eliminated from the quarter-finals of the local cup, losing to Eintracht Frankfurt 0-2.


Onion Berlin also suffered its first loss since its 0-3 fall in Munich on February 26. Since then, he has achieved two draws (against Cologne and Wolfsburg) and two victories (against Frankfurt and Stuttgart), including 3 matches that did not concede, before losing this evening.
Dortmund coach Edin Terzic made 3 changes to his squad, which lost to Leipzig in the cup, so the ailing Marius Wolf was absent, and Marco Reus and the Turkish Salih Ozkan sat on the bench to include Englishman Jude Bellingham, Karim Adeyemi and Ivorian Sebastian Haller.


"It was a very important match for us," Terzic told Sky Sports after his team's victory. "It was close, but we deserved to win. In the end, all matches are close against Union Berlin, so we feel relieved that we managed to win."


Dortmund opened the scoring after a pass from Portuguese Rafael Guerrero, followed by Dutchman Doniel Mallen with his right foot, past Danish goalkeeper Fredrik Ronov (28), in his fourth goal, including 3 in the last three stages, in the league this season.
Haller almost increased his team's yield, but goalkeeper Ronov successfully blocked the two heads of the Ivory Coast striker (36 and 43).


Berlin equalized from a long ball that reached Kevin Burns, passed it to the Dutchman Sheraldo Becker, who returned it to him to enter the area and hit the floor in the goal (61).
And Bernes raised the number of his goals to 7 in the “Bundesliga” this season.


The young attacking substitute, Yousufa Mukoko (18 years), gifted the three points to Dortmund by scoring the second goal 5 minutes after he entered the field instead of Haller, taking advantage of a joint game with the other substitute, Royce, to bypass the goalkeeper inside the area and shoot into the empty goal (79).


Moukoko revealed after the match that coach Terzic told him, "When he intervened, he decided the fate of the match."


"I could smell it, it was the attacker's instinct," he added.
Leipzig, who played the match without his French striker Christopher Nkunku, climbed to fourth place by defeating Hertha Berlin 1-0, scored by Amadou Hydara (39).


Coach Marco Rose's men achieved their 14th victory this season, raised their score to 48 points and regained fourth place from Freiburg, but they are 10 points behind leaders Bayern 7 stages before the end.


In its race for a European seat, Bayer Leverkusen took sixth place from its guest, Eintracht Frankfurt, by beating it 3-1.
Leverkusen raised its tally to 43 points, compared to 41 for Frankfurt.


Cologne achieved its first victory since February by defeating Augsburg 3-1.


Scored for Tunisian international winner Ilyes Skhiri (7), Eric Martel and Linton Maina. And for the Swiss loser, Ruben Vargas (29).
Mainz drew 2-2 with Werder Bremen.

11 migrants died in a boat sinking off the coast of Morocco

Eleven migrants died after their rickety boat sank off the coast of southern Morocco , local media reported Saturday.


The tragedy occurred off the White Beach near Guelmim in the south of the kingdom.


Among the victims were "8 bodies of Moroccans (one female and seven males) who hail from the Guelmim region, in addition to 3 bodies of immigrants from sub-Saharan countries belonging to a couple and an infant under two years of age," according to the "Youm 24" news website.


The site added that a migrant who was on the boat was rescued.
It was not possible to obtain immediate confirmation from the Moroccan authorities regarding the sinking of the boat.


For its part, the electronic newspaper "Hespress" said that "an in-depth investigation has been opened into the circumstances and circumstances of the catastrophe and the identification of those involved in the illegal immigration process."


Morocco is located in the northwestern tip of Africa, and it is a transit country for many migrants, especially from sub-Saharan countries, who seek to reach Europe from its Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.


According to a report by the Spanish NGO Caminando Fronteras in December, more than 11,200 migrants have died or gone missing since 2018 while trying to reach Spain from Morocco, an average of six per day.


The organization reported that the road between the northwest coast of Africa and the Canary Islands alone witnessed the deaths of 7,692 migrants.


Since late 2019, the number of migrants trying to cross the Atlantic towards Spain's Canary Islands has increased, with coast guard patrols in the Mediterranean intensifying.


However, irregular immigration declined in Spain by more than 25% in 2022, with a noticeable decrease, especially in the number of arrivals by sea, according to what the Spanish Ministry of the Interior announced in January.


The "largest decrease" in the number of irregular arrivals concerns the Canary Islands: 15,682 compared to 22,316 in 2021 (-29.7%).


The ministry explained the decline by increasing its cooperation with countries of origin and transit and strengthening "combating mafias involved in human trafficking." Cooperation was strengthened at the end of last year by turning the page on the diplomatic dispute between Spain and Morocco over the Western Sahara issue.
