🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Israel-Gaza Conflict: February 17-18 (Recap)

1️⃣ Palestinians fearing an Israeli ground invasion in Rafah have been fleeing to central Gaza, including to the Deir el-Balah refugee camp, according to the UN.

2️⃣ At least 10 Palestinians were killed overnight after Israeli forces launched attacks on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and farmland on the edges of Rafah, the Wafa news agency reports.

3️⃣ The Health Ministry in Gaza says Israeli forces have arrested a “large number” of workers at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

4️⃣ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls Hamas’s demands for a ceasefire and prisoner release “delusional” as negotiations continue.

5️⃣ The ICJ will begin public hearings on Monday in a case brought by the UN General Assembly on Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian Territories. The case pre-dates South Africa’s ICJ filing under the genocide convention and requests the court’s opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian Territories more broadly.

6️⃣ US says current draft of UNSC resolution ‘will not be adopted’ US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield has issued a statement responding to reports that Algeria is planning to put its proposed ceasefire resolution to a vote on Tuesday. The US has previously used its veto to prevent the UNSC from passing resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

7️⃣ Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has reiterated his country’s “categorical rejection of the displacement of Palestinians to Egypt in any shape or form”.

At least 28,858 people including more than 12,300 children, have been killed and over 68,667 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

The offensive near Rabotino. Our troops crossed the Orekhov-Tokmak road, taking a huge stronghold near Rabotino. The settlement itself is subject to airstrikes by FABs and artillery strikes using TOSs and artillery. There are reports of the activation of the entire Zaporozhye Front, but so far advances have only been recorded near Rabotino.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the possibility of using income from frozen Russian assets to produce weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Let us recall that earlier this week the EU Council approved a resolution according to which profits from frozen Russian assets will be recorded and stored separately.

The Council called this decision a step towards the possible introduction of a contribution from this profit to the EU budget.

US DoJ transferred $500,000 confiscated Russian assets to Estonia in an unprecedented case

The funds given to Estonia will be allocated to the reconstruction of Ukraine's energy system.

However, the nature of these funds is not what it initially appears to be. They are not from Russia's foreign currency reserves.

The U.S. will transfer almost $500,000 obtained from dismantling an illegal network that attempted to import high-precision American machinery into Russia, stated Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

According to Monaco, the U.S. thwarted attempts to export a tool known as a jig grinder, which could assist in developing dangerous weaponry used for defense and nuclear weapon proliferation.

Investigations revealed that smugglers, including 47-year-old Latvian citizen, attempted to import a coordinate grinding machine (or jig grinder) ordered from Connecticut into Russia.

However, this scheme was exposed before the machine reached Russia. The confiscated funds are being transferred to Estonia because the circumstances of this case do not allow for direct transfer to Ukraine, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Additionally, approximately $342,000 from the smuggling case will be stored in Latvia until the final execution of the confiscation order in the U.S.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Rossiya Segodnya media group's CEO sent a request for an interview with US President Joe Biden

According to the letter, head of the Sputnik's parent company Dmitry Kiselev sent a request for an interview with Biden to continue the dialogue between Russia and the US after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson.

“We believe that our countries are now short of opportunities to listen and hear each other and think that Russian President Vladimir Putin has set a worthy example by agreeing to an interview focused on an American audience,” the letter stated.

The request was sent to the White House in Washington, Kiselev said.

If Biden agrees, the interview will be translated into foreign languages and published on the agency's social media, the websites and on other platforms of the media group around the world.

🇺🇸🤡 American troops will be on the front line of the fight against Russia without further assistance to Ukraine.

US Senator Chris Coons believes that a war with Russia will begin in the next 3-5 years.

Calling on the US House of Representatives to support a new $95 billion aid package that includes funds for Ukraine, Coons said investing in Europe is the US's best defense against Moscow.

“On the next front against Russia, the Americans will be on the front line. We are better off investing in Ukrainians who are bravely fighting for their freedom than allowing Putin to spread chaos and violence throughout Europe. If we don't stop Putin in Ukraine, the next time he will attack US NATO allies."

Asked if he agreed with recent claims, including by the Danish defense minister, that such an attack could happen within the next three to five years, Coons agreed:

“That seems reasonable to me.”

🇩🇪🤝🏻🇺🇦😭 The Federal Ministry of Defense of Boris Pistorius is under criticism for an explosive arms deal.

According to BILD research, there were massive inconsistencies in a deal between the Ministry of Defense and the Flensburg weapons forge FFG in the summer of 2023.

According to BILD research, the vehicles are unsuitable for front use in Ukraine or even use in "battle", as the name "infantry combat vehicle" used by the BMVg suggests.

The reason: their far too weak armor.
