🔶️ While a reconnaissance plane belonging to the Yemeni Navy was carrying out reconnaissance work across the Red Sea, an American warship opened fire in a hysterical manner with multiple weapons, showing the state of confusion and anxiety. One of the missiles exploded near a ship heading south of the Red Sea belonging to the Republic of Gabon, coming from Russian ports.
🔶️ We affirm that the threat to international maritime navigation results from the militarization of the Red Sea by America and its partners who come to the region without any right other than providing safety services to the ships of the Israeli enemy entity.
🔶️ The Red Sea will be a burning arena if America and its allies continue in the way they are of bullying, and the countries bordering the Red Sea must realize the reality of the dangers that threaten their national security.

⚡️🇵🇸 According to the Palestinian Intranet, and the man in the video, who is a citizen in Rafah, Palestine - Police forces belonging to Hamas have shot a teen by the name of Ahmed Shaddad Barika, for the crime of looting and attempting to steal humanitarian aid, there is slight security disturbances in the city over it at the moment
Let it be known that lethal force should be authorized to protect humanitarian aid from looters and criminals, however, we should understand that times are stressful and thus people can become desperate, and that choosing lethal force should only be in the case of bodily violence or complete loss of control.
Israelis wish for civil disturbance and for Palestinians to fight each other, the civilians must wait in their lines and get their appropriate rations and security services must use the appropriate force with the appropriate subject.
And contrary to popular belief - I stand for what is right and I am not afraid to point out what is wrong.

✝️ 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 This year, out of protest of the Israeli actions in Gaza and in solidarity with Palestinians, there will be no Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem for the first time in living memory.
1️⃣ Artwork "Nativity under the Rubble" by Palestinian artist Tariq Salsa is seen in Manger Square near the Church of Nativity on December 23, 2023 in Bethlehem, West Bank.
2️⃣ A Lutheran church in Bethlehem is displaying a sombre Christmas message, with a nativity scene that depicts an infant Jesus surrounded by rubble to reflect the devastation in Gaza.

🎄 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Israeli settlers set fire to the Christmas tree in Bethlehem.
🔶️ Bethlehem is located in the West Bank of Palestine, ten kilometers away from Jerusalem. Christian pilgrims from all over the world come here on Christmas days. The center of their attention is the Church of the Nativity here.
🔶️ This time, after thousands of Palestinians were killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Christian community in Bethlehem is celebrating Christmas in a very limited way. While most people have decided not to celebrate Christmas.
🔶️ An incident happened here today. Some Israeli settlers set fire to the Christmas tree. After that, the Christians and Muslims there started throwing stones at the settlers and drove them away.

🇬🇧 🇬🇾 🇻🇪 ‘The UK is preparing to send a warship to Guyana in a show of diplomatic and military support for the former British colony, the BBC has learned…HMS Trent would take part in joint exercises after Christmas’
🔶️ The UK is preparing to send a warship to Guyana in a show of diplomatic and military support for the former British colony, the BBC has learned.
🔶️ It comes after neighbouring Venezuela renewed its claim for a disputed part of Guyanese territory that is rich in oil and minerals.
🔶️ The Ministry of Defence confirmed HMS Trent would take part in joint exercises after Christmas.
🔶️ Guyana, a Commonwealth member, is South America's only English-speaking nation.
🔶️ This raised fears that Venezuela might invade and spark the first interstate war in South America since the Falklands Conflict in 1982.
🔶️ While Guyana's economy is growing fast, Venezuela's is suffering. Its hills and jungles are rich in gold, diamonds and bauxite, while huge oil deposits have been found off its coast.
🔶️ A Ministry of Defence spokesperson told the BBC: "HMS Trent will visit regional ally and Commonwealth partner Guyana later this month as part of a series of engagements in the region during her Atlantic Patrol Task deployment."

🔋 🇦🇷 🇺🇸 Elon Musk called President Javier Milei indicating his interest in Argentina's vast lithium reserves.
🔶️ Mirta: We have a lot of lithium in Jujuy.
🔶️ Milei: You know what? Elon Musk called me. He is hugely interested in the lithium. Same goes for the US government. They just want to have property rights guaranteed.
🇧🇴 In total, there are 38 lithium mining projects in northern Argentina, of which three are already up and running.
⬛️ Thirty-three villages have united to oppose the lithium extraction as it requires much water which the region has very little of.
⬛️ Indigenous people and workers in Jujuy have been fighting for some time now.
