Vienna - (AFP) - A storm killed five people, including two children, and injured around 10 people Thursday in Austria, according to the Austrian authorities and the Austrian News Agency.

Three people were killed when a tree fell in the state of Lower Austria (east), while two children died in Carinthia (south), according to the Austrian News Agency.

The two children, aged between five and eight, in addition to the wounded, were near a small lake in the state of Carinthia when the winds uprooted several trees, said Melanie Reiter, a spokeswoman for the Red Cross in the state.

In other parts of the region bordering Italy and Slovenia, roofs were blown off by the wind, Reiter told AFP.

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer tweeted, "Today, strong storms in Carinthia claimed two children and caused serious injuries to other people."

In June, an 82-year-old man died after landslides caused severe damage, also in Carinthia.
Austria is experiencing a heat wave and the authorities have warned of storms.
Scientists say extreme weather conditions around the world are becoming more frequent due to climate change, and will likely increase in intensity as temperatures rise.

Berlin (dpa) - Germany 's Federal Network Agency said on Thursday that monthly heating bills are likely to triple over the next year due to a drop in gas imports.

"For those who now receive heating bills, the bills have already doubled, and this is before taking into account the war in Ukraine," Klaus Müller, head of the agency, told RND news today.

He added, "This will not affect all consumers immediately or completely, but at the same time it must be paid. So it makes a lot of sense to save more money now."

Mueller indicated that the increase in collection costs could be offset by providing subsidies to gas companies worth billions of euros, or by passing the costs on to consumers, while providing assistance to those who could not afford the high price.

It is noteworthy that Germany relies heavily on Russian gas imports, which have declined since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

German officials now fear that Moscow may not reintroduce gas supplies via Nord Stream 1 once the official maintenance period ends on July 21.

Mueller stressed that ordinary consumers will be protected during the severe energy crisis in accordance with German and European law, adding that it is "extremely unlikely" that gas will stop pumping to homes.

"Even in the worst-case scenario, Germany will continue to get gas from Norway, from terminals in Belgium and the Netherlands, and directly near terminals on the German coast," he added.

New Delhi, (AFP) - India announced Wednesday that it will return the cheetahs to its lands after they disappeared from the country more than 70 years ago, thanks to an agreement with Namibia, which will hand over a first group of eight of them next month.

India has been working on the project since 2020, when the country's Supreme Court authorized the introduction of African cheetahs on a trial basis at a "carefully selected site".

The Asian cheetah has been officially declared extinct in India since 1952. The agreement signed Wednesday in New Delhi will allow African cheetahs to be introduced to a national park in the state of Madhya Pradesh (center), as part of the activities of the 75th anniversary of India's independence on August 15.

"The culmination of 75 glorious years of independence is the return to India of the world's fastest wild species, the cheetah, which will revitalize the ecological dynamics" in India, Indian Environment Minister Bhupinder Yadav wrote on Twitter.

"The reintroduction of the cheetah will greatly improve the livelihoods of local communities through long-term ecotourism prospects," he said.

The leopard is the only carnivorous animal that has become extinct in India, mainly due to hunting and loss of its natural habitat. Maharaja Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo is believed to have killed the last three leopards in the country in the late 1940s.

Kunu Balpur National Park was chosen as the new home for the leopards due to its abundance of prey and grasslands.

"The main objective of the reintroduction project is to establish a viable population of cheetahs in India, enabling them to play their functional role as the apex predator," the environment ministry said in a statement.

India also hopes to strike a deal with South Africa to bring more cheetahs from them.

Jenin - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ali Samoudi - After bouts of sadness and pain, and tears of heartbreak and anger that she shed after announcing the martyrdom of her entangled son Hamad Mustafa Abu Jilda (24 years), his mother, "Jamila", gathered her strength and regained her resolve and armed herself with patience, strength and high morale. When he brought his body to take a final farewell look at him at her home in Jenin camp, she hugged him with love while fighting back her tears and bid him farewell with ululation and hymns as she chanted with the women of the neighborhood and her relatives, "We sacrifice our souls with blood, O martyr. Goodbye, Hamad. May God accept him as a martyr. Congratulations. You have He wished for the certificate and obtained it.

The uncle of the martyr, the liberator Mahmoud Abu Jilda, who fought and was arrested during the battle of Jenin camp in April 2002, expressed the family's pride in the heroism of Hamad, who narrated with the blood of the soil of Palestine while resisting the occupation during his raid on the city of Jenin to demolish the house of the martyr Raad Khazim, the perpetrator of the Dizengoff operation in Tel Aviv.

As for the companion on the path of the martyr “Waad”, her tears did not dry up since his martyrdom before he saw their first born, for whom “Hamad” provided all his needs, and he was waiting for the moment of his birth. My husband, with whom I lived, a life of happiness and joy.. The news was like a thunderbolt for me, as we were planning for the day of joy when we give birth to our first child, and when he was martyred, my fetus was a month and a half old.

And the wife adds: "Hamad enjoyed all the good qualities and characteristics. He was decent, generous, gallant, bold and generous. He was affectionate, loving and respectful to everyone. He was waiting for our new child to be born and he was counting the days and when I will have our child, but he left without seeing him or kissing him and holding him in his arms."

And "Waad" narrates about the night of her husband's martyrdom, and she says: Hamad left his house on the evening of 9-7-2022, as usual, after he performed ablution and performed the evening prayer, and told her that he was going to visit his brothers and check on them, and at that time I did not know about the storming of Jenin, and I had no knowledge His role and secret activity in the resistance and his participation in confronting the occupation until I received the news of his injury, and we spent days praying for his recovery, until he was later martyred.

Washington - "Al Quds" dot com - Saeed Erekat - Russia's invasion of Ukraine not only highlighted the key role to be played by Gulf oil producers, but also embodied the dangers of allowing Russia and China to gain influence with traditional partners that the United States or, in the case of Saudi Arabia, took for granted. Saudi Arabia, outcasts, this is what the newspaper "Foreign Policy" published today, Wednesday.

According to the report: “Diplomatic officials sent President Joe Biden on a packed and packed tour of the region to spread American flags and begin to repair the damage done to the region, but comforting though the headlines of the visit may sound like Saudi Arabia opening airspace to Israeli flights, and the defense coalition The atmosphere of the Middle East (which includes Israel and Arab countries) is beginning to take shape, so the trends do not seem comfortable to the same extent.

From hydrocarbons to Iran, Israel and Palestine and curbing Chinese and Russian influence and human rights, the current US administration faces remote prospects for success in a region marred by seemingly insurmountable challenges and which still has real doubts about US resolve and survival. Given the fraught relationship between Biden and the crown prince Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi Biden would not have been likely to visit Saudi Arabia had Russia not invaded Ukraine, disrupting global oil supplies and causing fuel prices to soar in the United States.

Saudi Arabia:

Nor did the administration want to make oil the focal point of the visit, lest it appear that the president was trading in hydrocarbons to give the crown prince an excuse for his appalling human rights record, and also because any increase in Saudi oil production is expected to be modest. Motivated by the need to Maintaining market discipline and the advantage of keeping prices high, the Saudis have no intention of breaching the OPEC+ agreement with Russia, in which the two parties agreed to slowly restore monthly collective production at a rate of just 400,000 barrels per day, and Riyadh is likely to exploit its spare capacity in light of the oil market Which may get tighter by the end of the year. Regarding the reduction in fuel prices, which are currently falling due to the slowdown in the Chinese economy, it is not clear what kind of impact any modest Saudi increase could have.”

The report notes, "Given the president's strong view that the twenty-first century will see conflict between democracies and authoritarian regimes, it would seem natural that Washington would want to foster relationships with important countries that could be vital in what could turn into a new, protracted Cold War." Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, for example, are not limited to autocratic rule, but they have also proven that they are keen to hedge and reluctant to choose the United States over Russia” and that “this is not only due to their dissatisfaction with the withdrawal of the United States from the region, but they also want to balance Their relations between Washington, Beijing and Moscow because it makes sense for their long-term interests.”

As for Israel, it is hedging its bets a bit, including by distancing itself from harsh criticism of Russia's activities in Ukraine and bringing Chinese investment into Haifa port.

That the United States will remain the main security partner for the Gulf states, but not at the expense of abandoning cooperation with Russia and China. Biden has raised the issue of human rights publicly and in private meetings with Saudi leaders, where he has spoken of Khashoggi's assassination. But in essence, Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia and the image of the fist salute that spread around the world represent Washington's closure of the Khashoggi file. Nearly four years after his murder, there is still no accountability for the personal role of the Crown Prince. In short, Mohammed bin Salman got away with a murder, and legitimacy was conferred on him. "It is now led by an American president who truly believes in affirming American values. Moreover, the Saudi regime accepts no dissent and wages a massive campaign to criminalize any dissent and detain, imprison and torture anyone who speaks against the regime."

And the report added: “According to Freedom House, the government has also launched a cross-border crackdown to harass and intimidate opponents in at least 14 countries. None of these issues were raised in the Biden meetings, and there was no expectation or pressure on the Saudis to change their behaviour. The Biden administration’s defense of human rights, democracy, and freedom against Russian aggression in Ukraine on the one hand, and then meeting with Arab authoritarian leaders on the other hand without any serious discussion about the need for political reform and respect for basic rights is very clear.In this way, the Biden administration has not only failed on this issue, Rather, it left the region with the decline of the status and credibility of the American president.

Iran and the Iranian nuclear file:

The report notes that “Making significant progress on the Iranian nuclear issue was too burdensome under any circumstances. Simply put, the answer to the Iranian nuclear file lies neither in Jerusalem nor in Jeddah but in Tehran – and now Iran is not interested in making a deal that Washington can accept. Hence, The focus of the visit was to create an environment that might pressure Tehran into making a decision while supporting alliances if it did not.Although the acrimony and resolve over Iran resonated strongly in Israel and in some Arab circles, it is also likely that they have heightened tensions and thus concerns among many countries. Gulf Arab states that military action against Iran could really happen - and if it did, they would be the most threatening.

And he shows, "Many of these Gulf countries enjoy important relations with Iran, and none of them wants to be the spearhead of the United States - let alone the Israelis - in a war with Iran. But the unspoken and sad truth is that American policy towards Iran is stuck between returning to the agreement." Nuclear conflict and conflict that Washington really wants to avoid, and Biden's visit did little to solve this conundrum.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

The report notes that “the Israeli-Palestinian issue received very brief attention, and the focus was mainly on the economy and institution-building. It is not clear whether Biden touched on his commitment to reopening the independent US consulate in Jerusalem – which worked, before it was closed by President Donald Trump In 2018, as the de facto US embassy to the Palestinians, Israeli settlement activity, which stopped during the visit, was not mentioned in Biden's public statements either. The Palestinians were also deeply disappointed that Biden failed to discuss any responsibility or accountability on the part of Israel for The killing of the (American-Palestinian) journalist, correspondent of Al-Jazeera Network, Sherine Abu Aqleh.In short, the peace process does not concern Biden or the Israeli government, and the Palestinians do not have a strategy to deal with the new regional alliance between Israel and the Arab Gulf states, which leaves them isolated, as was evident in May The past during the confrontation between Israel and Hamas, Washington will only intervene when it has to.

“Communication makes sense if it is creative, consistent, realistic, and based on the principle of reciprocity, where the United States can give gifts to its allies and partners, but it must get something in return. On this visit, there was a lot of giving on the part of Biden, but it did not happen.” I get a lot in return, while downplaying or fundamentally ignoring the hard issues — Israel, Palestine, human rights, Russia in Ukraine.”

The authors conclude, "This visit was merely an immediate, time-limited response to the demands created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, domestic US economic challenges, and an uncertain path forward with Iran. Preoccupied with domestic challenges that lack consensus even within his own party, Biden has transformed within a few days to focus on Russia and China in this troubled region." They conclude their article by noting that Biden confirms that he will not move away from the Middle East and that the United States has returned, but the question after this visit is how long will this last?

The report was written by Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; And a member of the American negotiating team for peace talks in the Middle East during the eras of President Yosh Sr. and Bill Clinton, and Daniel Kurtzer, a former US ambassador to Egypt and Israel who teaches diplomacy and conflict resolution at the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University

Jenin - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ali Samoudi - Despite the occupation's threats and continuous harassment, the latest of which was his notification to vacate his land near the apartheid fence within the borders of the village of Al-Jalama , north of Jenin, and to remove greenhouses and agricultural crops, the farmer, Abu Muhammad Abu Farha, refuses to submit and abandon He and his family's source of livelihood, and calls on all ministries and concerned authorities to stand by the farmers of Al-Jalama, to thwart and confront the occupation's policies aimed, as he says, "to plunder the land, forcibly empty it, and destroy the agricultural sector in the area, which is considered agricultural of the first degree."

“Soft displacement” is the description given by the farmer Abu Farha to the new Israeli decision, which affected dozens of landowners and farmers in the Al-Jalama area, after the occupation distributed notices to them to remove greenhouses and move them from the area for tens of meters, and he said, “This land was inherited from father to grandfather, We work on it all our lives, and there is no substitute for it, so that we can live a decent life and provide a future for our families. How will I move it and to where, when there is no other land for me and other farmers? It is a decision to destroy, cleanse and expel us indirectly.”

Permanently, Abu Farha and his brother spend their days working on their land and taking care of their greenhouses and other agricultural crops, but the occupation cut them off, and they are threatened with losing their main and only source of income, in the event that the occupation implements the decision to remove the greenhouses, and he says, "What is happening today is a continuation of the war." The occupation is against the agricultural sector in the village of Al-Jalama, which is considered part of the main food basket in the West Bank and the occupied Palestinian interior, in addition to their most dangerous goal of emptying the land of the population.” Their fear and anxiety about the Israeli aggressions and sanctions, but whatever they practice, I will not leave my land.”

Abu Farha explains that the agricultural sector in Al-Jalama has suffered and is still suffering in light of the occupation practices that have not stopped over the past years, from storming the area, closing roads, firing bullets and gas bombs, and not allowing them to work on their lands, whether in the early morning or evening hours. And sometimes there is deliberate and repeated shooting to intimidate farmers and expel them from the land, explaining that these practices prompted some farmers to sell their lands, and he added, "Unfortunately, there is neglect and marginalization of the Palestinian farmer despite his steadfastness and the violations and practices he is exposed to to confiscate his land and destroy his crops, which pushes some to leave the land Agriculture and work in other fields.

Abu Farha confirms the seriousness of the new notices, which call on farmers to destroy their crops and greenhouses. He added, "We demand practical and immediate action from the concerned, governmental and international institutions in order to put pressure on Israel to back down from its arbitrary and unjust starvation decision."

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich , before they entered the government, were calling for a much stronger response against the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, but this morning they remained silent and did not comment.

Yoav Gallant, "Do you want to achieve deterrence? Well, this is how deterrence is achieved: Close the crossings and do not allow the passage of goods and the exit of workers until the return of the children (captives of Hamas), and kill senior officials and do not waste ammunition by firing them only at the sites.. Attack.. Do that." .

Iraq accused the Turkish forces of launching the bloody bombing that hit a tourist resort in the Zakho district.

Ankara, for its part, denied responsibility for the attack, accusing the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of being responsible for it, an organization that Turkey and its Western allies classify as "terrorist" and that has waged an insurgency against it since 1984.

In a modest Baghdad home, Nour had come to offer his condolences on the death of his friend Abbas Alaa and was waiting for the return of the family, who had headed to the airport to retrieve the body of the 24-year-old engineer.

He said, "Abbas got married one week ago and was with his wife in Kurdistan to celebrate their honeymoon. ... It is a shock to his friends and relatives. His first trip was on Tuesday and he was martyred on Wednesday. We cannot believe it."

He continued, "He went to enjoy himself in northern Iraq and returned as a martyr and his wife was injured. This does not happen in any other country. Only in Iraq."
Later, dozens of residents of the neighborhood where Abbas lived buried his body and placed a white bride's suit on his coffin, in the presence of journalists from dozens of media outlets, before he was buried in the city of Najaf in the south of the country.

Ankara, which has established military bases in northern Iraq for 25 years, is launching military operations against the PKK rebels stationed in training camps and rear bases in the region.

Turkish military operations in northern Iraq exacerbate pressure on relations between Ankara and the central government of Iraq in Baghdad, which accuses Turkey of violating its territorial sovereignty, even though the two countries are important trading partners.

Baghdad often summons the Turkish ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest, but these measures remain most of the time without result.
Dozens of people demonstrated Thursday morning in front of a center for granting entry visas to Turkey, amid strict security measures, demanding the expulsion of the Turkish ambassador from Iraq, according to an AFP photographer.

Patriotic songs were broadcast through loudspeakers, while some demonstrators raised a banner that read, "I am Iraqi. I demand the expulsion of the Turkish ambassador from Iraq."

The German Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, calling for "urgent consideration of the circumstances and responsibility" for the bombing.

In Tehran, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson condemned the attacks and stressed Iran's "firm support for stability and security" in Iraq.

Among the demonstrators, Ali Yassin, 53, told AFP, "Turkey and the Turkish embassy tell them enough is enough," adding, "Peacefulness does not help. Burning the Turkish embassy is our demand after we expel the Turkish ambassador because our government does not respond and is unable."

Similar demonstrations took place on Wednesday night in different parts of the country in front of entry visa centers, such as Kirkuk in the north, Najaf and Karbala, the largest cities in southern Iraq.

The demonstrators burned Turkish flags and trampled them, holding pictures of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with the words "terrorist" written on them.
These moves often come at the initiative of the Sadrist movement, the movement of the prominent Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who enjoys a wide popular base.

On Wednesday night, Baghdad raised the tone by calling for the withdrawal of the Turkish army from its territory. The Iraqi authorities also announced the summoning of its charge d'affaires from Ankara, "and stopping the procedures for sending a new ambassador to Turkey," according to an official statement.

The condemnation came directly from Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, who denounced the "Turkish forces' once again committing a clear and blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty," while the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, denounced the "Turkish bombing," considering that it "represents a violation of the country's sovereignty and a threat to Iraqi national security."

On its Twitter account, the Turkish embassy offered "condolences to our Iraqi brothers who were martyred at the hands of the PKK terrorist organization."

For its part, the Turkish Foreign Ministry considered that "such attacks" are being carried out by "terrorist organizations," calling in the statement on Iraq "not to issue announcements under the influence of terrorist propaganda."

Hamas is subjected to severe criticism daily, whether in Gaza, the West Bank or abroad, and the reason is its refusal to participate in the recent war on Gaza on the side of Islamic Jihad, and we will not reveal a secret if we say that the people's mood tends to accuse it.

Israeli intelligence reports indicate that the detainee, Tayseer Al-Saadi from Al-Jihad, is the founder of the Palestinian Hezbollah and the armed Nablus Battalion, one of the radical Islamic Jihad elements, and one of the Fatah rebels, most of whom are from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and that Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi is the field commander of the Nablus Battalion, while it is indicated that funding is from Iran, and in the other picture, a popular mood against Hamas and the moderate Fatah in the West Bank.

The duo “Hamas and Jihad” in Gaza are the most influential and control over the Strip, while the Fatah movement is out of the game, and the equation is reversed in the West Bank, since the Jenin armed battalion has effectively become a force parallel to that of the Palestinian Authority, and now the Nablus battalion, which seeks to establish an authority parallel to the Palestinian Authority. Estimates are that the members of the two battalions are in the thousands, and that the people’s mood is rapidly changing against Hamas by accusing it not of treason but of participating in security coordination in the West Bank. What is remarkable here is that the dissidents from Fatah from the Al-Aqsa Brigades lead the resistance, and constitute the main elements in the Nablus and Jenin battalions, and attempts are being made to tarnish the image of this alliance. It comes from religious Salafist elements, some of whom are affiliated with Hamas, and this increases the popular mood calling for resistance and overcoming Hamas and the PA together.

“Hamas” .. its image is not good these days among ordinary people, as the popular mood in the West Bank tends against it, and perhaps this is what Israel wants to perpetuate the complete separation between Gaza and the West Bank, and the continuation of the Israeli army’s operations in Nablus comes to dismantle the cells of the Nablus Battalion before it is formed and imposed A new reality on the ground, as there are (400) prisoners since the beginning of this year, and more than thirty martyrs have been killed during the same period, which means that the security campaign is continuing and that the confrontations in the West Bank are likely to escalate, and that the risk of a third intifada is inevitable.

Hamas, for the first time, is out of people's mood in its dealings with the recent Gaza war and with the armed confrontations in Nablus, and for the first time popular accusations are directed against it. The result is that its attempts to stabilize the calm in Gaza or the West Bank have turned against it. In any case, it is still within the equation of the conflict with Israel, and it has Its accounts are far from the jihad and the Al-Aqsa Brigades, and perhaps if the confrontations continue in the West Bank, it will find itself forced to participate in it in response to the popular mood against the Israeli occupation and the settlers who have confiscated and destroyed Palestinian land.
