'These services are increasingly collaborating with international criminal organizations to target journalists, dissidents, Jewish citizens, and current and former officials in Europe and North America. This is unacceptable,' said the statement.
'We consider these types of attacks, regardless of the target, as violations of our sovereignty,' the countries said.
'We are committed to working together to prevent these actions from happening and we call on the Iranian authorities to immediately put an end to such illegal activities in our respective territories,' added the statement released by the governments of the United States, Britain, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.

Anger over Gaza could unseat top UK ministers: Pollsters
LONDON: Pro-Palestine election candidates in the UK could unseat top government ministers at the next general election, leading pollsters have said. Figures including Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood will likely face major battles to keep their seats despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer's decision to potentially recognize a Palestinian state, The Independent reported on Saturday. At the last election in 2024, a pro-Palestine candidate unseated a key member of Starmer's team, Jonathan Ashworth. Streeting retained his seat but with a tiny majority of 528, down from 5,198 in 2019. Mounting public anger over Britain's response to the Gaza war could cause major embarrassment for the government at the next election, pollsters say. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader and now independent MP, has announced a new party that could also take a chunk of votes from the government by highlighting the Gaza crisis. John Curtice, the country's top pollster, told The Independent that Starmer's pledge to recognize a Palestinian state in September — should Israel fail to meet key conditions — 'may not be sufficient' for voters. Both Streeting and Mahmood are in significant danger of losing their seats at the next election, while other ministers and MPs could also fall if anger continues to grow over Gaza. Starmer had also 'lost out' on votes in his own constituency last year because of concerns over Gaza, Curtice said. However, the prime minister's majority is substantially larger than some of his Cabinet ministers. 'Here is somebody (Starmer) who spent a great deal of time and effort trying to reconnect with the Jewish community, and now he's finding himself having to spend a great deal of effort trying to reconnect with the Muslim community. It is very difficult to keep himself on board with both groups at the moment,' Curtice said. When Corbyn launched his party last week, he said its members would campaign heavily on Palestine, as well as Britain's response to Israel's war on Gaza. Luke Tryl of polling firm More in Common said events in Gaza and government policy toward the war have revealed 'deeper' problems within the ruling Labour Party. 'When we have done focus groups with voters in Muslim areas, particularly some of those who backed or were thinking about backing pro-Gaza independent candidates, I compared it to speaking to voters in the red wall after Brexit,' he said. 'In the sense that Brexit was the thing which caused the split, but it actually brought to the fore much deeper resentments — that they have been taken from granted, ignored, left behind by Labour … I think we're going to see exactly the same thing with Muslim voters.'

Lower voting age: youth empowerment or gimmick?
The headline feature of the UK government's new policy paper to reform and modernize the democratic system is legislating for 16- and 17-year-olds to be able to vote in the next general election. This proposal was already in Labour's manifesto before last year's election, albeit surprisingly not featured in the government's first King's Speech last summer, which is regarded as the blueprint for the government's intentions for the following year. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, in her usual plain-speaking manner, justified the move by saying: 'I was a mum at 16; you can go to work, you can pay your taxes, and I think that people should have a vote at 16.' She was not wrong, although parts of her argument might be more convincing than others. This decision, which is quite radical, has implications beyond voting rights — and on how we perceive at what age young people cross the threshold into adulthood. It was met with some skepticism regarding Labour's intentions, with the claim that from a completely utilitarian standpoint, analysis of the last election's voting patterns by age shows that Labour could gain most at the ballot box. According to an Ipsos poll, 41 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds supported Labour compared with 16 percent who supported Lib Dems and a mere 5 percent who voted for the Conservatives. In this case, adding even younger people to the poll of voters is likely to strengthen the current party in government, especially if it attends to their needs and wishes. Yet we should not let cynicism distract us from the merits of empowering youth and giving them a meaningful voice in deciding who is to lead the country — and in this case the process of voting in elections also brings forward a rite of passage into adulthood, of becoming proactive and aware citizens of their country and equally as global citizens. Historically, whenever the right to vote was extended to wider segments of society, it had its opponents, especially those who already enjoyed this exclusive privilege and would rather not share it with a wider population. In the history of the right to vote, there were times when it was conditioned, for instance on reaching a certain income or social status, and times when ethnic and religious minorities, and women, were blocked. But when the right was extended to all in 1918, it has never been seriously contested again, since the democratic system thrives on inclusivity. Immediately after the First World War, men had gained the right to vote if they were over 21, whether or not they owned property; however, women had to be aged over 30, and also had to meet minimum property-owning criteria, a situation which was rectified a decade later. Then it was regarded as revolutionary, but the trend did not stop there and eventually, in 1969, the UK became the first country to lower the age of franchise from 21 to 18, setting a new benchmark for adulthood. Nevertheless, there is growing evidence that today's under-18s are much more aware of social and political issues, saturated with information, even if not necessarily accurate and helpful, and engage in social-political debates. Additionally, extending the franchise to young people, as research has found, increases their overall participation in the democratic processes and increases their sense of responsibility. This is a welcome step, although it should not be seen as merely an act of gesture politics or to curry favor with young people to get their vote. The infusion of new, young blood could be just the powerful jolt that our stale democracies desperately need. Yossi Mekelberg In the decision to extend voting rights to younger people, there are elements of expediency and of fairness. To begin with, most of the youth will still be in education, and granting them the right to vote would be an opportunity to enhance the citizenship curriculum, which includes learning about the rights and the duties that come with adulthood, and about being part of their community and wider national and international societies. For this, the school curriculum will have to be adjusted so that 16- and 17- year-olds become included in the learning process of becoming responsible and critical voters. This is especially important in the age of social media when the flood of information too often distracts from more profound social and political issues or is presented in a distorted way. The privilege of voting, and it is a privilege, must come with a well-thought-out introduction to life as an inquisitive and proactive voter. It is also an opportunity, in a world where the art of civilized and constructive debate falls victim to toxicity, and where winning the argument takes precedence over a mutual understanding of the issues, to revive the skills of constructive and respectful discussion. But there is also the issue of fairness. For instance, in the UK, 16-year-olds can join the army, something that, incidentally, has been criticized by the UN Committee of the Child. But as long as this is the case, those who can serve their country in uniform, even though under 18, are not permitted to be deployed on the front line. However, once they become adults, and continue to serve based on a commitment they made as a minor, they should be entitled to influence the country's foreign affairs trajectory, which might find them engaged in wars and conflicts, through the ballot box. Similarly, those who either left school and are in full-time employment, or those who work part-time and also study or take an apprenticeship, are paying taxes, and although the notion of 'No taxation without representation' is taken from the American Revolution in defiance of the British colonialists, it still rings true on this side of the Atlantic. It is also the case that in Scotland and Wales, those aged 16 or 17 have for some time been able to vote in Holyrood and the Senedd, their respective national assemblies, as well as in local council elections, and the proposed change will bring England and Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK. In recent elections we have witnessed the rise of extreme political ideologies throughout Western societies, which to a large extent stems from questioning not only the wisdom of policies, but also the legitimacy of those who create them. To overcome this crisis of legitimacy, which also manifests itself in low turnouts at elections, the system badly needs shaking up, and the infusion of new, young blood, of nearly 10 million 16– and 17-year-olds who are interested, and aware that their decisions can affect them for decades to come, could be just the powerful jolt that our stale democracies desperately need.

Prosecutors call for PSG's Achraf Hakimi to face rape trial
NANTERRE, France: French prosecutors on Friday called for Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi to face trial for the alleged rape of a woman in 2023 which the Moroccan international denies. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The Nanterre prosecutor's office told AFP that they had requested that the investigating judge refer the rape charge to a criminal court. 'It is now up to the investigating magistrate to make a decision within the framework of his order,' the prosecutor's office told AFP in a statement. Hakimi, 26, played a major role in PSG's run to their first Champions League title, the full-back scoring the opener in the 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in the final in May. Kylian Mbappé has come to Achraf Hakimi's DEFENCE amid sexual abuse allegations: 'Hakimi is respectful with women. Even when drunk, I've never seen him behave inappropriately. We're not savages, and we've been prepared for this since the start of our careers." [@lequipe] — TheScreenshotLad (@thescreenlad) August 1, 2025 Hakimi, who helped Morocco to their historic progress to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, was charged in March, 2023 with raping a 24-year-old woman. Hakimi allegedly paid for his accuser to travel to his home on February 25, 2023, in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt while his wife and children were away on holiday. The woman went to a police station following the encounter alleging rape and was questioned by police. Although the woman refused to make a formal accusation, prosecutors decided to press charges against the player. She told police at the time that she had met Hakimi in January 2023 on Instagram. On the night in question she said she had traveled to his house in a taxi paid for by Hakimi. She told police Hakimi had started kissing her and making non-consensual sexual advances, before raping her, a police source told AFP at the time. She said she managed to break free to text a friend who came to pick her up. Contacted by AFP after Friday's development Hakimi's lawyer Fanny Colin described the call by prosecutors for a trial as 'incomprehensible and senseless in light of the case's elements.' 'We, along with Achraf Hakimi, remain as calm as we were at the start of the proceedings. 'If these requisitions were to be followed, we would obviously pursue all avenues of appeal,' she continued. According to Colin, her client had 'been the target of an attempted extortion.' 'Nothing in this case suggests an attempted extortion,' Rachel-Flore Pardo, the lawyer representing the woman, said. 'My client welcomes this news with immense relief,' she told AFP. 'We will not tolerate any smear or destabilization campaign, as is unfortunately still too often the case for women who have the courage to report the rape of which they are victims,' she added. The son of a cleaning lady and a street vendor, both Moroccans who have lived in Spain since the 1980s, Hakimi was born in Getafe, a southern suburb of Madrid. Hakimi came through the youth system at Real Madrid before joining Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in 2018. He went on to make 73 appearances for the German club. He moved to Inter Milan in 2020 and then on to PSG in 2021 where he has established himself as an integral part of the team. In Qatar, Hakimi was a cornerstone of the Morocco team that became the first African or Arab nation to reach the semifinals of a World Cup.
