Armed Settlers Kill Two Residents of Sinjil, One Is American
DayofPal– Armed Israeli settlers attacked the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, and killed two residents, one of them was born and raised in US Florida City. Young man Mohammad Al-Shalabi was killed on Friday evening near the town of Sinjil, and his body was discovered hours after he went missing during a brutal attack by settler militias on Khirbet Al-Tal in the Jabal Al-Batin area, south of the town. According to local sources, his body showed clear signs of direct and violent assault. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 23-year-old Mohammad Rizq Hussein Al-Shalabi succumbed to injuries sustained due to settler violence in Sinjil. He was shot in the chest with live ammunition on Friday and left to bleed for hours. He is the second martyr in the same area in less than 24 hours, following the killing of 23-year-old Saif Al-Din Kamel Abdul Karim Muslat earlier the same day. Muslat was severely beaten by settlers in Sinjil and succumbed to his injuries. The town and its surroundings witnessed fierce clashes as locals and activists attempted to dismantle a new illegal settler outpost established in Khirbet Al-Tal. These confrontations resulted in injuries to 10 Palestinians, including fractures. One activist was run over, and two ambulances were attacked. The Hamas movement condemned these attacks, carried out by settler militias with the support of the far-right Israeli government and under the direct protection of the Israeli army. Hamas stated that these crimes expose the fascist nature of the Zionist project in the West Bank and stressed that the blood of the martyrs will not be in vain but will haunt the occupiers and settlers. The movement called on the Palestinian people to escalate resistance and confront aggression throughout the West Bank. In a related development, Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank last night and early Saturday, resulting in the arrest of 11 Palestinians. In Jenin city, Israeli forces stormed the eastern neighborhood and arrested three residents. Drones hovered overhead while heavy gunfire was reported. Soldiers raided homes belonging to the Al-Saadi, Abu Ghali, and Al-Qiqis families, vandalized their contents, and detained several individuals, including children, inside the Al-Saadi family gathering hall. Ground troops were also deployed in the area. The forces later withdrew from Jabal Abu Dhahir and Khillet Al-Souha toward Jenin refugee camp after raiding a house and reportedly stealing money and gold, according to local testimonies. In Tulkarm, where Nour Shams refugee camp has been under continuous assault for 154 days, Israeli occupation forces raided Faroun Street and arrested several young men. In Bethlehem governorate, four Palestinians were arrested in the Wadi Sa'ir area near the village of Al-Minya, southeast of the city, following home raids and searches.

US tariffs on Iraq raise economic questions
Shafaq News – Baghdad/Washington US President Donald Trump has imposed a 30% tariff on Iraqi imports, a move expected to increase pressure on Iraq's already fragile economy, an economic expert informed Shafaq News on Wednesday. Nawar al-Saadi, professor of international economics, warned that the decision could have compounded effects on Iraq's domestic market, cautioning that although exports to the United States are modest, the tariff will expose the deeper vulnerabilities in Iraq's economic structure. 'Iraq lacks a diversified and resilient export base,' he said. Al-Saadi added that such tariffs are rarely based on purely commercial considerations, linking the decision to Washington's evaluation of Iraq's trade compliance, regional positioning, and alignment on sanctions targeting Iran or Russia. He further cautioned that the tariffs could signal a shift in broader trade relations, with potential consequences affecting not ties with the United States but also with other Western and regional partners. To mitigate the fallout, al-Saadi urged a three-track response. He called on Baghdad to establish a direct diplomatic channel with Washington and to push for exemptions, reduced rates, or a delay in enforcement. He also emphasized the need to expand trade partnerships, particularly with markets in China, India, Turkiye, and the Gulf. Achieving this, he noted, would require comprehensive industrial reforms and direct support for Iraqi producers to compete internationally. Finally, Al-Saadi stressed that Iraq's heavy reliance on oil leaves it exposed to global shocks and political volatility. 'Diversification is no longer a long-term option—it's an immediate national need,' he concluded, urging policymakers to reexamine Iraq's economic model.

Iraq's economy faces immediate damage from Iran-Israel war
Baghdad ( – The ongoing Iran-Israel war is inflicting direct economic damage on Iraq, even though it is not a direct party to the conflict, international economics professor Dr. Nawar Al-Saadi warned on Wednesday (June 18, 2025). Al-Saadi identified three immediate impacts already being felt as the conflict enters its sixth day. First, a rise in the US dollar exchange rate in the Iraqi market is creating inflationary pressure. Second, a wait-and-see attitude has led to a freeze in local investment and trade, as investors are deterred by regional geopolitical risk. Third, prices of some food items are increasing due to fears of supply chain disruptions. He cautioned that the consequences would become far more severe if the conflict escalates. The greatest threat is to Iraq's oil exports, which rely almost exclusively on the Strait of Hormuz—a potential flashpoint in the conflict. Any disruption there, he noted, would trigger a 'suffocating financial crisis' for Iraq's oil-dependent budget. Dr. Al-Saadi concluded that the real danger lies in a prolonged war of attrition and urged proactive government measures to fortify the Iraqi market and economy from the fallout.
