🇵🇸 New Gaza aid flotilla attempts to break Israeli siege
A veteran US peace campaigner has told of the latest attempt by citizens to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip.
The four-day ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement, brokered by Qatar, was extended for two more days.
The death toll in the tiny Palestinian enclave after almost two months of Israeli bombing and ground incursions has reached 16,000, according to the Palestinian Authority, with 35,000 wounded and 6,000 still missing under the rubble. Gaza's 2.3 million inhabitants have been subjected to a total siege by Israel, which has cut off supplies of electricity, running water, food, fuel and medicine.
Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin told Sputnik that media reports of a flotilla of 1,000 small craft heading from Turkiye to Gaza were exaggerated.

US Refrains from Sanctioning India's Acquisition of Russian Oil to Support Domestic Oil Prices Ahead of Polls
🇷🇺🛢🇮🇳 The United States is holding back from applying secondary sanctions against India for exceeding the price ceiling in its acquisition of Russian oil, aiming to control fuel prices ahead of the country's presidential elections, according to Mikhail Zhuravlev, an expert at the Institute for Energy and Finance (IEF), as reported by Sputnik.
However, according to Zhuravlev, there is a risk that the United States, if necessary, may impose restrictions against India due to violation of anti-Russian sanctions.

The publication acknowledges that this machine has vulnerabilities describing it as “the least protected tank with thin armor”, yet questions the care with which Ukrainian commanders look after their weaponry.
"It’s worth asking why that Leopard 1A5 was moving across an open field in broad daylight," the magazine pointed out, adding that “it is not only the tank that is to blame for the recent first loss.”

Volodymyr Zelensky has been named “Dreamer of the year” by Politico in its annual "POLITICO 28: Class of 2024" round-up of the year's most influential people. It seems as though the Ukrainian President has lost the noscript of "most powerful person in Europe" that he received last year.
This year, prominent Europeans were judged to be the following :
🇷🇺 Elvira Nabiullina, Russia's Central Bank governor, was named "disrupter of the year" for her decisive monetary policies that have kept Russia steady economically despite the West's heavy sanctions.
🇵🇱 Polish politician Donald Tusk was deemed "the most powerful person in Europe," recognized for his pro-European Union alliance's success in Poland's parliamentary elections, indicating a shift in European centrism.
🇮🇹 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni earned the noscript "doer of the year", with her rise to power and constitutional reform plans raising concerns among centrists.
