Germany says it will not recognize Palestinian state for now
The German government announced that it currently has no plans to recognize a Palestinian state, setting itself apart from some of its European partners who have recently expressed willingness to take that step. A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry told reporters that Berlin views recognition of a Palestinian state as part of a broader peace agreement within the framework of a two-state solution, adding, 'This position has not changed.' The spokesperson emphasized Germany's commitment to supporting a two-state solution as the only path to achieving lasting peace between Palestinians and 'Israelis', and warned that 'unilateral recognition steps may be unhelpful given the complexity of the current situation.' Germany's stance comes amid growing international pressure to end the ongoing 'Israeli' aggression on Gaza, as well as mounting calls within Europe to recognize the State of Palestine as a move toward justice and peace in the region.

ALBAWABA - As part of his strong opposition to Israel's war in Gaza, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia has ordered that all coal exports to the country be stopped right away. He said that Colombia would not back what he called "genocide." Also Read Israel launches a new wave of airstrikes on southern Lebanon "As the head of the armed forces, I will not let a single ton of coal be sent to Israel," Petro said at a ceremony in Cartagena where he introduced new naval units of NavadaColombia, such as the Benkos Biohó ship, which will help improve public health along Colombia's coasts. His words make it clear that the ban on sending coal to Israel, which was announced in response to its military actions in Gaza, will be strictly enforced. Petro stressed Colombia's moral duty and said the country would not be involved in the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian region. The news came out at the same time that Colombia was celebrating Navy Day and the 202nd anniversary of the naval Battle of Lake Maracaibo. Earlier this week, Petro said it would change Glencore's mining license on its own if the business kept sending goods to Israel. Since then, Glencore has said that it has already stopped sending any coal to Israel as Petro had asked. A Glencore representative told Reuters, "The Cerrejón mine is following the president's order." "Our last shipment was almost two weeks ago, before the policy went into effect." Colombian President Gustavo Petro:– "As Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I have ordered: Not a single ton of coal will be sent to Israel, and I take full responsibility." – "Colombia will not be an accomplice to genocide."
