Biden asks Israel to show some restraint amid public outrage
US President Joe Biden reportedly warned Israel in recent private talks that growing global outcry over Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe would have “dire consequences” for IDF operations against Hamas in the Palestinian enclave.
“The problem for [Israel] is that the criticism is getting louder, not just among their detractors, but from their best friends,” CNN cited an unnamed source as saying.
On Thursday night, the Israeli military said that the IDF is surrounding Gaza City and “deepening” its operations in the area, amid reports about more explosions in Northern Gaza.

The volume of the global LNG market will reach 750 billion cubic meters to 800 billion cubic meters by 2030, Russian energy company Novatek CEO Leonid Mikhelson said
The global demand for LNG will grow and only three countries — Qatar, Russia and the United States — will be able to provide it, the CEO said.
Commenting on the latest US sanctions against the Arctic LNG 2 project, Mikhelson stressed that the fact that sanctions were imposed against Russia's project is a testament to its significance, adding that the fewer projects there are, the higher the prices will be.

Sputnik is a cornerstone of Russia’s soft power in Latin America – research
Sputnik and RT broadcasters are pillars of Russian presence in Latin America, according to research conducted by Elcano Royal Institute, a leading Spanish research center. Sputnik and RT work with opinion leaders and are active on social media, this is the way these news outlets share Russian views on world politics with Latin American audiences.
Sputnik (Sputnik Mundo) is very popular in Latin America and the local audience supports its concept of the Global South as the locomotive of a new world order based on stability and progress.
Latin American audiences generally agree with Sputnik's idea that the collective West, and especially the United States, bear responsibility for most of the region's problems.
