Kallas: Israel violates HR, we need to improve conditions in Gaza
Brussels - Saba:
The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaya Kallas, called for the need to improve the situation in Gaza and emphasized Israel's violation of Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This came in press statements following a meeting of EU foreign ministers, during which the results of the EU's review of the Association Agreement with Israel were presented.
Regarding the results of the review, Kallas said, "The goal is to bring about tangible improvements in the lives of the people of Gaza."
Kallas confirmed that they will present the review's findings to Israel and work to improve the situation in Gaza, which is a key focus of EU member states.
The European official stated that the EU's priorities in Gaza are a return to a comprehensive ceasefire, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the release of prisoners.
Kallas indicated that if the situation in Gaza does not improve, they could discuss additional measures against Israel.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop it.

Trump announces immediate end to all trade talks with canada
Washington - Saba: U.S. President Donald Trump announced the immediate termination of all trade discussions with Canada in response to Ottawa's decision to impose a digital services tax targeting American tech companies. In a post on the social media platform "Truth Social" on Friday, President Trump described Canada's digital services tax as a "direct and brazen attack on the United States." Trump stated, "Based on this outrageous tax, we are hereby ending all trade discussions with Canada, effective immediately." He added, "We will inform Canada of the tariffs they will pay to deal with the United States within the next seven days." The U.S. president further remarked, "We have just been informed that Canada—a country that has been very difficult to trade with, especially as it has imposed tariffs of up to 400% on our dairy farmers for years—has announced it will impose a digital services tax targeting American tech companies. This is a direct and blatant assault on our country." He continued, "Clearly, they are copying what the European Union did by imposing the same tax, which is now also in discussions with us on this matter." Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had announced last Monday that he and President Trump agreed to work toward a new economic and security agreement between their two countries within 30 days. The two leaders had met earlier on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Alberta, where Trump reiterated his insistence on tariffs. A statement from the Canadian Prime Minister's Office said, "Prime Minister Carney and President Trump exchanged updates on key issues in the negotiations for a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the United States." Notably, the total value of U.S. goods trade with Canada reached approximately $762 billion in 2024, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Meanwhile, the U.S. president escalated his threat to increase tariffs on certain countries by the July 9 deadline. Trump's remarks on Friday are the latest indication that some negotiations with major partners may extend beyond early July. However, the U.S. president is considering higher tariff rates for smaller economies that have not reached agreements with the United States. During a press conference at the White House, Trump stated, "At some point in the next week and a half, or maybe sooner, we will send a message. We have spoken with many countries, and we will simply inform them of what they must pay to do business with the United States." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades broadcast footage of targeting of Israeli soldiers, vehicles in southern Gaza
Gaza – Saba: Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the Gaza Strip broadcast footage on Friday of its fighters shelling a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers and vehicles north of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The footage shows the preparations for the operation, the surveillance of enemy soldiers and vehicles, their incursion into the eastern line area around the Hamad Junction, north of Khan Yunis, and their subsequent targeting with heavy mortar shells. This comes in the context of the Palestinian resistance factions' response to the genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the people of the Gaza Strip, with American support, since October 7, 2023. This crime includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Sheikh Qassem: "Our choice is not to submit to dictates"
Beirut - Saba: The Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, affirmed, "We in Hezbollah support Iran's independent choices, stand against American hegemony and occupation, and oppose Israeli occupation." He stated, "The choice is to liberate the land, build the nation, and not submit to dictates or surrender to the enemy. We will resist for our country, no matter the sacrifices." During his speech at the first night of the Ashura mourning councils in Beirut's southern suburbs, Sheikh Qassem said, "Iran has proven that it alone is capable of confronting this global tyranny, alongside the criminal Israeli regime and with significant European support." He added, "Iran does not receive support from any other countries, nor do other nations fight alongside it. It has no supply lines—it stands alone, relying on the capabilities it has built itself." Sheikh Qassem pointed out that "Iran has solidified its regional and international position through its convictions and choices, without conceding anything." He emphasized that "today, Iran is stronger than before the war. It is a supporter of the resistance, an ally to its neighbors and friends, and capable of ensuring collective security for the region's countries without needing America or its allies." Sheikh Qassem questioned, "Why has this aggression against Iran occurred?" explaining that "the central goal of America and Israel in waging war on Iran was to destroy any independent, influential force supporting resistance and the liberation of Palestine in our region." He stressed that "Israel is an expansionist entity that will not be satisfied with all of Palestine's lands, nor with occupying the Golan and beyond—it seeks control over the entire region, as proven by events and facts." Sheikh Qassem affirmed that "Iran has thwarted the three objectives of the aggression: canceling uranium enrichment (which Iran possesses and continues), damaging its missile program (which remains a defensive capability, striking the enemy), and overthrowing its regime (which did not happen)." He noted that Iran has a courageous leader, a great people, and the Revolutionary Guards and security forces, who have made immense sacrifices. Sheikh Qassem declared, "This year, we raised the slogan: 'I will never abandon you, O Hussein.' We will not abandon you because you represent truth, your path leads us to God, and we seek to raise our generations in obedience to God." He added, "You, the people of resistance and honor, have lifted the nation's head high, proving that Hussein lives within us. You will continue the pledge of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah until we achieve all goals—victory or martyrdom—on the path of Imam Hussein (AS)." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
