Israeli media outlets reported on Wednesday that Palestinian resistance movement Hamas wanted Türkiye, along with Russia and China, to act as guarantors in any cease-fire deal with Israel.

US rejected this condition. France, Germany as guarantors of Minsk agreements in Ukraine didn't work out well. When Ukraine rejected the ceasefire in February 19 2022, they did nothing and failed to convene UN Security Council over 2015 resolution to achieve peaceful implementation of Minsk. |

Only after IDF forces entered the Gaza Strip found the server farms that Hamas set up underground along with the computers connected to them, was the true extent of Hamas' capabilities in intelligence exposed. What was revealed there left Israeli intelligence officials speechless.

The terrorist organization managed to get access to dozens of cameras, many of them inside kibbutzim on the Gaza border. The military now admits that the camera issue had been flagged but was not addressed with the necessary urgency.
In recent years, the IDF has noticed many attempts by Hamas' Moddatz elements to hack into soldiers' mobile phones.
In addition, Hamas succeeded in developing reconnaissance capabilities that included drones, which hovered over the Gaza Strip and carried out oblique photography of Israeli territory. Here too, Israel was aware of this activity taking place.

If they can track the soldiers' phones, they would've known most of them were gone that week leaving mostly unarmed surveillance guards and drone operators. |

Senior Israeli official says covert British team gives âadded valueâ to its intelligence operations
Official adds that Britain is providing intelligence from spy flights that âIsrael cannot collect on its ownâ
UK Ministry of Defence tells Declassified: âWe do not comment on speculation on intelligence mattersâ
A senior Israeli official has said that a British spy team has been deployed to Israel since it began bombing Gaza in October.
It is not known what UK agencies the personnel in the British team deployed in Israel belong to, although it is likely to involve the SAS, Britainâs elite special forces unit.
The Sun reported on 27 October that the SAS, which operates completely outside of democratic oversight, had been deployed to UK bases on Cyprus to â it was claimed â rescue British hostages held captive by Hamas.
The UK militaryâs âD-Noticeâ committee, which seeks to stop the media publishing information it claims would damage national security, requested on 28 October that all media editors not publish further information relating to SAS operations in Gaza.
Declassified previously revealed that 36 military transport aircraft have gone from RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus to Tel Aviv. Six were C-17s while 30 were A400M planes.
The UK military could have transported up to 4,300 personnel in these planes and this is likely to include SAS troops.
It is also likely that GCHQ and MI6 personnel are involved in the British team stationed in Israel.

Much of the warfare now uses special forces, special operators, and mercenaries, evading public oversight. US avoided the oversight in Syria by setting up the Benghazi CIA Annex to oversee the distribution of weapons and trafficking of militants through a number of allied governments that maintained armories nearby, thereby avoiding violating the law against unauthorized direct weapons transfers. After Benghazi blew up, Obama issued an executive order authorizing the program to directly arm the mercenaries. |

| From: tntpal | 6/14/2024 9:48:50 AM | | | | | | The EU's highest court, the ECJ, has officially found Hungary guilty for not accepting migrants
Responding to the judgment, the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, described the courtâs ruling as âoutrageous and unacceptableâ, adding: âIt seems that illegal migrants are more important to the Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens.â
The legal ruling comes less than three weeks before the Hungarian government takes charge of the rotating presidency of the EU council of ministers. It highlights the profound challenge to the bloc posed by anti-EU, nationalist leaders at a time when far-right forces made advances in European elections in France, Germany and Austria, and are expected to join the government in the Netherlands.
The judgment relates to a 2020 ruling that found Hungary had broken EU migration law by limiting the rights of refugees and migrants to claim asylum in numerous ways, including by holding asylum seekers in transit camps at Röszke and Tompa on its border with Serbia.

PUBLISHED FRI, JUN 14 20247:07 AM EDT
Russian state news outlet Tass reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin demands the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, after which peace negotiations can begin.
Putin added that Moscow was committed to ensuring the âunhindered and safe withdrawalâ of Ukrainian forces if Kyiv agrees to such a concession.
The Kremlinâs conditions are unlikely to receive a warm reception in Kyiv, which has repeatedly stated that it will not concede territory to Russia.
