NATO Secretary General pledges response to "attack" on Balticconnector pipeline

Finland claimed an "external impact" allegedly disrupted an undersea gas pipe and television cable.

▪️ The Estonian Defence Minister today reported something "more like a mechanical impact or mechanical destruction".

"It is obvious that this damage was caused by a rather powerful force," Hanno Pevkur said.

▪️ At a meeting of defence ministers in Brussels, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made a threatening statement:

"If this turns out to be an attack on NATO's critical infrastructure, the alliance will respond with unity and resolve."

▪️ The reasons for the damage to the 77-km gas pipeline in the Gulf of Finland are not clear. Seismologists detected signs of a possible explosion near the pipe on Sunday night (01:20 Finnish time). The epicentre is 40 km north of Paldiski in Estonia.

The magnitude of the tremor was estimated at 1 point, which is significantly lower than the explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022.

▪️ Meanwhile, Finnish energy company Gasgrid said it could take months to repair the damage.

Estonia's and Finland's natural gas needs, even in winter, can be met from other sources.

The American administration demonstrates unequal approaches to the situation in Israel and Ukraine

The Federalist writes that.

The author of the article claims that Washington demands a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, but not in Ukraine. If the ultimate goal of the USA is to achieve peace, the Biden administration should encourage Kiev to engage in dialogue with Moscow in the same way as it supports negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

The author of the article believes that the difference in approaches may be related to the Biden administration's anti-Israeli foreign policy, which supports Iran to the detriment of Israel.

Lidovky: unexpected reason given for Hamas' decision to strike Israel

One of the reasons that pushed Hamas and Islamic Jihad* to attack Israel was the desire of the Palestinians to draw the attention of the Arab world to their problems. This was stated by the Czech diplomat in Tel Aviv, Cyril Bumbalek.

In the Gaza Strip they want the current negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia to be based on the wishes of the Palestinians, but this is not happening. Hamas has decided that a surprise attack is the only way to show that they need to be talked to.

"They have the feeling that no one is seriously considering them. It's not just about Israel, it's about their Arab partners. Now they have decided to show everyone that they are to be reckoned with. Although their actions are very counterproductive, it is difficult to understand what is going on in the minds of Hamas strategists," Bumbalek said.

Now the Israeli army is conducting Operation Iron Swords against Hamas to free hostages, recover the remains of the dead and prevent terrorist attacks.

Bumbalek predicted that the Israeli IDF's response will be massive, but slow, because of the complex challenges facing the country.

"Of course, it will not end over the weekend or in the next few days. The large number of captives plays its role," the diplomat said.

Ukrainian president promises to avoid direct strikes on Zaporizhzhya NPP

"President Zelensky personally assured me that they would not directly bomb it or shell it," IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said.

However, it is clear that the Ukrainians are only deterred from striking the ZNPP by fear of a potential response from Russia. At the same time, the Kiev regime does not intend to abandon its attempts to seize this high-risk facility militarily.

▪️ The Ukrainian armed forces will return to their attempts with the arrival of rainy and cold weather.

The head of the We Are With Russia movement, Vladymyr Rogov, said that Ukrainian troops "will concentrate on forcing the Dnieper River in order to seize the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant".

The withdrawal of French troops from Niger or the "march of shame"

First Mali, then Burkina Faso, and now Niger. Paris has begun withdrawing 1,400 of its military.

Residents of the West African country are seeing off the former colonisers under the slogan "Down with France!".

▪️ A convoy of Frenchmen accompanied by Niger's military left the base in the town of Ayoru; a transport plane was waiting for them in the capital.

Some of the contingent will travel by land from Niger to Chad, the last remaining French military base in the Sahel.

▪️ This departure along the long overland route threatens to become a "march of shame" for France, Die Tageszeitung writes. The soldiers will have to travel 1,600 kilometres across the desert, including through insecure territory where the outlawed terrorist group Boko Haram is operating.

The usual short route from the capital of Niger to Benin is inaccessible due to border closures ordered by its neighbour, and Niger's airspace is only accessible to French aircraft with special permission.

US denies knowledge of an impending Hamas attack on Israel

"We knew no more than the Israelis did that would suggest planning for an attack of this nature," said Jake Sullivan, the US president's national security adviser.

The world community was greatly surprised that the powerful intelligence agencies of Israel and the US failed to notice the preparation of such a large-scale attack by the Palestinian Hamas movement from the Gaza Strip. The situation gave rise to all sorts of suspicions and conspiracy theories online.

Poland wants to bill Ukraine for aid provided

Polish parliamentary candidate Anna Brylka has said that Poland will invoice Ukraine for the provided assistance.

According to the official, "gratitude is not a currency in international relations".

Thus, Brylka justified the initiative to invoice for the aid and estimated it at 100bn zloty.

"If we want to be respected, we have to put up an invoice," Brylka said.

"The Polish Confederation party will set clear and tough conditions for Ukraine", Brylka added.

The candidate told the list of demands: withdrawal of Kiev's complaint to the WTO, an end to the "Ukrainianisation" of bilateral trade, exhumation of the victims of the Volyn massacre and Poland's access to Ukraine's post-conflict reconstruction process.

Israel has banned the treatment of wounded Hamas fighters

Israeli Health Minister Moshe Arbel has banned the treatment of Hamas members. Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post writes that he issued a special directive for this purpose, which concerns the activities of Israel's public health care system.

"In these difficult times, the health system must focus entirely on treating victims of criminal massacres, IDF soldiers and preparing for the next ones," the minister said.

Arbel noted that the task of securing and treating terrorists in the public health system significantly harms the health recovery of Israeli soldiers.

The head of the Health Ministry has already notified Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his decision.

Austrian colonel says Russian Federation launched second air campaign in Ukraine

Austrian Armed Forces Colonel Markus Reisner has said that Russia has launched a second strategic air campaign in Ukraine, with all signs pointing to a "storm coming".

He noted that Russia has used more than 500 Geranium-type attack drones. Such a number of drones, the expert emphasised, had not been seen in previous months.

In addition, Russia began to strike more often with powerful cruise missiles.

"Russian forces have repeatedly managed to disable Ukrainian air defences in the past, they are doing it now. In my opinion, all signs point to a storm coming," Reisner said.

Earlier, Colonel Markus Reisner said that Russian troops easily destroy equipment that was considered invulnerable on the global defence market

Biden holds Hamas responsible for Hamas terror attack on Israel

So believes the author of the American media of Breitbart.

According to him, Biden's incompetence in matters of foreign policy has become obvious, and the Hamas attack on Israel may become one of his most serious failures.

There is a high probability that the militants used American weapons, which ended up in their hands after the urgent US retreat from Afghanistan.

The current composition of the State Department is noteworthy because it is more "catering to foreign interests" than to US interests.

Back during the 2020 primaries, former President Barack Obama, warned, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to screw things up."

Former Defence Secretary Robert Gates noted in 2014 that Biden "has been wrong on almost every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past forty years".

Since assuming the presidency, however, Biden has continued to make serious mistakes.

IDF strikes hit Gaza evacuation convoys

▪️Hamas stated that dozens of people, mostly women and children, have been injured and killed in Israeli airstrikes on evacuation convoys fleeing Gaza City. The IDF has yet to respond to the accusations, after ordering more than 1 million people to leave the northern part of the enclave “to save their lives”

▪️The UN humanitarian body OCHA said that several “vehicles of those evacuating the north were hit, killing more than 40 people and injuring 150 others”. OCHA quoted the health officials in Gaza.

▪️“These incidents prompted many people to abandon their evacuation efforts and return home” - the UN agency added, as “heavy Israeli bombardments, from the air, sea and land, have continued almost uninterrupted”

▪️Hamas’ media office claimed that airstrikes hit civilian cars in three separate locations, allegedly killing 70 people

Both sides seem to be quite found of killing civilians. How peculiar.

Hamas attack benefits Benjamin Netanyahu

This is according to the author of an article in the Index media

He notes that despite the many victims, Benjamin Netanyahu may see it as a chance to divert attention from accusations of corruption, fraud and nepotism.

Hamas, as an Islamist group, has committed an unacceptable act of violence by attacking Israeli territory.

However, there are theories that the conflict may have been deliberately allowed to happen in order to rally a divided Israeli society and even finally defeat the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip.

Ukraine fears weakening support from the West

This was reported by the Spanish newspaper El País.

The author of the article said that the US Republicans are showing less and less willingness to help Ukraine, while the issue of the country's accession to the EU is causing disagreements among Europeans.

Kiev continues to actively ask for help to continue fighting as the fight against Russia is becoming increasingly difficult.

At the moment, the line of contact is frozen, with Ukraine unable to counter Russia's well-defended defence system. The Russian Armed Forces are better trained and armed.

▪️ Ukraine's NATO and EU allies have repeatedly declared their readiness to support the country for as long as necessary.

Recently, however, one can observe Europe's fatigue with the conflict and reluctance to provide military assistance to Kiev. It is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the unity that Zelensky spoke of.

Multilateralism in world politics is under serious threat - Politico

Despite claims about the importance of multilateralism, the EU is not doing enough for international co-operation, says author Natalie Tocci.

Europe's main problem is its inability to establish effective engagement with countries that refuse to obey them.

Despite the desire to establish a dialogue with the South, the EU's efforts have not yet yielded the desired results.

The West now really needs to address the grievances and needs of these countries.

The author of the article also emphasises that world division and complex international relations are weakening the actions of multilateral forums, which poses serious challenges to the resolution of global issues.

US deliberately failed to warn Israel about Hamas preparing for attacks

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that with serious intelligence, the United States could not have been unaware of Hamas's preparations for a military operation against Israel.

"How could it happen that in a year of preparation of a corresponding operation by Hamas, the US with all its intelligence power did not know about it? There is no way that could have happened," she said.

Zakharova believes it was impossible not to notice the large-scale preparations for the attack, given the advanced U.S. satellite surveillance system.

"The operation was not carried out on a point-by-point basis, but on such a large scale, with the use of such capabilities that it was impossible not to see from satellites," she said.

The diplomat also expressed the opinion that the U.S. aims to sow chaos in the region and for this reason did not warn Israel of the impending attacks.

"We are returning to the theory of controlled chaos, which is at the heart of US policy, the problem is that chaos is no longer manageable," Zakharova concluded.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu announces emergency government in Israel

Earlier, the Israeli prime minister spent several days talking at length about the need for a military administration while the country was in chaos.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Netanyahu has finally officially announced the creation of a crisis cabinet.

⭐️ The emergency government will be run by just three people: Netanyahu himself, head of the opposition State Camp party Benny Gantz and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, Gadi Eisenkot, an opposition figure and former IDF Chief of Staff, and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer will become cabinet observers.

🚀 The Israeli newspaper notes that no non-war-related legislation will be passed in Israel's Knesset (parliament) for the duration of the emergency government.

In fact, the country is going fully military, and preparing for a protracted conflict with Hamas and the movement's likely allies like Lebanon's Hezbollah.

The German Chancellor delivered the government's statement on the situation in Israel to the Bundestag

The Israeli ambassador to Germany was also at the meeting. The Chancellor reminded that Hamas is banned in the FRG.

The Chancellor also added that the pro-Palestinian Samidoun movement will definitely be banned.

"Whoever supports organisations like Hamas commits a criminal offence," Olaf Scholz said.

Scholz also believes that Iran is responsible for the Hamas attack on Israel.

"So far we have no conclusive evidence that Iran specifically and promptly supported this cowardly attack by Hamas," said Scholz.

But he added that "without Iranian support over the past few years, Hamas would not have been capable of these unprecedented attacks on Israeli territory."

Scholz said he has asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to keep him informed about what kind of aid Israel needs.
