Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir has floated a proposal for US investors to develop a new port at Pasni, near Gwadar and Iran, as part of a strategy to strengthen ties with Washington and provide access to critical minerals.

137 international activists who were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla have arrived in Istanbul after being detained by Israel.

A Turkish activist from the Sumud Flotilla:

Israelis prevented us from having medicine, they only gave us water after 32 hours. We barely had any food.

We were woken up at 3 in the morning with dogs and snipers walking into our rooms, they woke us up every 2 hours to prevent us from sleeping.

They did this to us, innocent citizens, it could only let us imagine what they do to Palestinians.

A Turkish activist from the Sumud Flotilla:

We did not see any humane behavior, unfortunately. We were subjected to severe humiliation.

We now better understand what Palestinians have been going through for years. They did not even give us a glass of water.

A minister (Ben-Gvir) came and called us terrorists, and we said that the real terrorists are the ones who have been committing this genocide in Gaza for the past two years.

Hungarian PM Orban:

There are three countries we would definitely not want as neighbors: Germans, Turks and Russians.

It's good if we are separated from great empires by some geographical units.

Therefore, it's good that between Hungary and Russia there is a territory now called Ukraine. It is in Hungary's strategic interest for Ukraine to exist.

Turkish journalist and Sumud Flotilla activist Ersin Celik:

The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg, dragged her on the ground, and made her kiss the Israeli flag. Greta is just a small child.

I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed.

Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!

Turkish journalist and Sumud Flotilla activist Ersin Celik:
