Judges Deny Parents’ Plea to Take Ailing Daughter to Italy for Treatment

/0 Comments/in , /by

A panel of judges in the United Kingdom denied an appeal from parents to take their daughter, who suffers from a rare disease, to Italy for treatment.

The judges said that Italy’s desire to take 8-month-old Indi Gregory in for treatment under Hague Convention rules was “wholly misconceived” and “not in the spirit of the convention.” Italy has granted the infant citizenship and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reached out to the U.K.’s Lord Chancellor to coordinate travel to bring the young child to Italy.

The parents of Indi, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, have sought to leave the U.K. to find treatment for a rare mitochondrial disease their daughter has. Judges with the Court of Appeal denied their requests, upholding a previous ruling from Justice Robert Peel that Indi must be taken off life support.

“Claire and I are again disgusted by another one-sided decision from the judges and the Trust. The whole world is watching and is shocked at how we have been treated,” Dean Gregory, Indi’s father, said.

“Claire and I have always wanted what is in Indi’s best interests. She has human rights and we wanted her to have the best treatment possible. If the UK did not want to fund it, why can she not go to Italy and receive the treatment and care which the amazing Italian Prime Minister and government has offered,” he added.

Man Raised By Hamas Tells Horrifying Story Of Their Brutal Indoctrination

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Hamas terrorist-in-training told an Israeli news station of his brutal upbringing — including watching other children being beheaded and being forced to lie in graves to practice being a martyr — as he was indoctrinated by Hamas in Gaza during his childhood.

Yaron Abraham was born in Lod, an Israeli city near Tel Aviv, before he was transported to Gaza for Hamas jihadi training at one of the most “extreme” mosques in the region. Abraham later escaped and was taken in by an Israeli family, after which Abraham joined the Israeli military and converted to Judaism.

Abraham told his story in an interview on Channel 13 News. The interview was conducted in Hebrew. The Daily Wire obtained an English transcript of what was said.

Abraham lived in Lod until he turned 9. One of his sisters, the one he was closest with among his siblings, was murdered over “family honor,” he said.

“I started asking questions, wanting to understand what happened,” he said. His family, fearing he would “complicate things” for them if he stayed in Lod, sent Abraham to an extremist mosque in Gaza for his education.

Report: Israel Killed Ballistic Missile Attack in Space (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report at the Telegraph says Israel shot down a ballistic missile that was aimed at it, while the weapon was in space.

The report explains the Middle East democracy’s famed Arrow missile-defense system took out the rocket than had been fired by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are backed by Iran, “outside the earth’s atmosphere.”

The report said it was believed to be the first combat ever to take place in space, and it resulted in the takedown of the bomb launched from Yemen, some 1,000 miles away and heading for the Israeli port city of Eilat.

Few details were released about the intercept, but the Israel Defense Forces released a video, explaining a cruise missile “launched from the southeast toward Israeli airspace was successfully intercepted by F-35I fighter jets.”

Then it added, “On the same day, the AIF’s Arrow Aerial Defense System intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea area.”

Philippines Drops China’s Belt and Road as Tensions Flare

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Philippines in late October became the latest country to back out of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with Transport Minister Jaime Bautista telling reporters the sudden withdrawal came after Beijing did not respond to funding requests on railway projects.

China had pledged almost $5 billion (€4.7 billion) to build three rail lines — two in Luzon and one in Mindanao — under the BRI, a keystone of Beijing’s foreign policy offering Chinese-backed loans for major infrastructure projects mostly in developing parts of the world.

However, China and the Philippines have been locked in a years-long dispute over maritime territory in the South China Sea, which China has claimed in its entirety.

In the most recent incident, a Chinese coast guard ship rammed a Philippine fishing vessel in contested waters near Second Thomas Shoal.

However, Philippine officials did not mention territorial tension as the reason behind the pull out. (Read more from “Philippines Drops China’s Belt and Road as Tensions Flare” HERE)

Israel Eliminates 130 Hamas Tunnels in Gaza as Airstrike Kills Weapons Maker

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Israeli military on Wednesday said it destroyed an infamous Hamas tunnel network that spans hundreds of miles below the Gaza Strip — as air strikes reportedly took out a key weapon maker for the terror organization.

More than 130 tunnel shafts underneath Gaza were blown up by combat engineers who are “destroying the enemy’s weapons and are locating, exposing and detonating tunnel shafts,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Meanwhile, above-ground bombardments killed Hamas weapons maker Mahsein Abu Zina, the Israeli military said.

IDF troops also discovered a structure with multiple car batteries sitting next to several tunnel entrances which they believe was used to power the tunnel’s air filtration systems.

Israeli soldiers also captured a Hamas training camp in northern Gaza, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari wrote on X. (Read more from “Israel Eliminates 130 Hamas Tunnels in Gaza as Airstrike Kills Weapons Maker” HERE)

Netanyahu Signals Affinity for Zelensky as Israel’s Ties With Russia Worsen

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel intends to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a visit to show solidarity in response to the Hamas terrorist attack last month despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s careful management of ties with Russia.

“If President Zelensky comes, he will be welcomed with open arms,” an unnamed Israeli official told the Times of Israel.

Zelensky had planned to arrive in Israel on Monday, according to reports, which would have positioned him to mark the passage of a month since the unprecedented rampage that ignited a major war in Gaza. The visit was canceled after his plans leaked, but points in any case to the worsening relationship between Israel and Russia.

“It’s kind of an extension of this rhetorical signaling … to the Russians that [they should] measure your support to the Palestinians or those who are supporting Palestinians,” former Estonian diplomat Peeter Raudsik, who specialized in Middle East issues at the Estonian mission to the United Nations from 2019 to 2022, told the Washington Examiner.

Zelensky: I Will Need 24 Minutes To Explain to Trump He Can’t Manage Putin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that it would take 24 minutes to explain to former President Donald Trump he can not end the Ukraine war in 24 hours because Russian President Vladimir Putin can’t be managed.

Anchor Kristen Welker said, “Former President Trump who is the GOP frontrunner has said if he is reelected he could end this war in 24 hours. What is your reaction and message to former President Trump about that?”

Speaking through a translator, Zelensky said, “Former President Trump said in 24 hours he can manage it and end this war. (Read more from “Zelensky: I Will Need 24 Minutes To Explain to Trump He Can’t Manage Putin” HERE)

Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech to his followers on Friday in Lebanon in which he declared that there was no outside involvement from other governments in the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7, called the United States “The Great Satan,” and made the incredible claim that the Israeli themselves were the perpetrators of the horrific, gruesome actions taken by the forces of Hamas.

“From the very first hours, it was clear that the enemy was lost … you know it was the Sabbath, perfect timing by the commanders,” said Nasrallah, bragging that the attack took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Speaking of the Israelis, he continued, “It took them hours to come out; they came out in hysterical state, angry and in insane fashion.”

He then claimed that the atrocities committed by Hamas had actually been perpetrated by Israelis, stating “That’s why when they had to recapture the settlements within Gaza envelope, they perpetrated massacres against the Israeli settlers. Not Hamas.” . . .

“We must establish this fact,” he declared. “The United States is totally responsible for the war raging in Gaza… It is the United States, proving once again, as described by (Former Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah) Khomeini, it is the greatest Satan, the great devil.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas” HERE)

Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel has “significantly refined” its military campaign against Hamas following U.S. pressure to curb Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza, according to a senior U.S. official.

“The overall scale of their campaign [is expected to undergo] a decrease in what we’ve seen and more of a tactical focus on the ground campaign as they’re working to clear out some specific areas where there are tunnel complexes and things,” a senior administration official told reporters Friday evening. “So, that’s what we anticipate seeing over the next week.”

That forecast points to a new phase in the military operation and an expansion of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, after weeks of bombardment. The shift could also portend another step toward the mass release of the hostages seized by Hamas in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, with President Joe Biden’s administration seeking “a very significant pause in the conflict” to enable their departure.

“So there’s an active process going on here with multiple lines of effort, including indirect engagement to try to find a framework to get the hostages out of Gaza,” the senior administration official said. “It would take a very significant pause in the conflict in the fighting to be able to do this. It is something that is under a very serious and active discussion, but there is no agreement as of yet to actually get this done.” (Read more from “Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War” HERE)

Illegal Alien, Wanted for Terrorism, Arrested Near One World Trade Center Had Been Freed Into U.S. By Biden’s DHS

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien wanted for terrorism in Senegal was arrested in late October just blocks from New York City’s One World Trade Center after having been released into the United States by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Just this week, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that illegal aliens who are “national security threats” are promptly arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deported.

Despite Mayorkas’ assertion, an illegal alien — from either the Islamic Republic of Mauritania or Senegal — arrived at the United States–Mexico border on Oct. 3 near Lukeville, Arizona. The illegal alien was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) before a federal immigration judge and released into the United States interior.

A week later, ICE agents in New York City were notified by Homeland Security Investigations agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Counter Terrorism Division that the illegal alien was wanted in Senegal for terrorist activities.

At that point, the illegal alien had traveled to New York City, a sanctuary jurisdiction that refuses to work with ICE agents seeking to have criminal illegal aliens deported.
