Persistent Disagreements on Cease-Fire Plan in Gaza Undermine Progress
Israeli officials and Hamas representatives have arrived in Cairo for talks to resume negotiations over a cease-fire proposal in Gaza. While Hamas claims to have accepted the terms put forth by Arab mediators, Israeli officials believe that major gaps still exist.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the proposal agreed upon by Hamas is not in line with Israel’s core demands. The text of the revised proposal was confirmed as authentic, with one of the key points of contention being the phrase “sustainable calm.”
In Israel’s approved proposal, this phrase was left open to interpretation, but Hamas has defined it as a permanent cessation of hostilities and complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. However, Israel opposes any deal that explicitly calls for a permanent cease-fire or an end to the war until its military offensive achieves its goals.
The first phase of the proposed agreement involves a six-week pause in fighting, during which Israel would exchange hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees for 33 vulnerable hostages held in Gaza. However, t

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – United States (US) marines and Filipino soldiers plunged together in the Philippines’ northernmost city along the strategic Bashi Strait off Taiwan’s southern coast. Not for war, but the two countries carried out joint military exercises.
The display of allied combat readiness at Itbayat in Batanes province was part of an annual military exercise that began last month, dubbed Balikatan, Tagalog for “shoulder-to-shoulder,” and involving more than 16,000 American and Filipino military personnel.
The location is close to a point of conflict between Washington and Beijing, especially regarding Taiwan’s sovereignty.
This year’s drills by the treaty’s longtime allies – which are the largest – are intended to deter possible aggression. This happened due to China’s increasingly assertive actions in the disputed South China Sea, where Chinese and Philippine coastguards and accompanying s

Israeli aggression in Rafah to eliminate Hamas!
Tel Aviv –
Prime Minister (PM) of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu explained his party’s intention to carry out a military aggression in Rafah. He stressed that it is a question of returning the hostages held in Gaza and eliminating them Hamas.
“I ordered an operation in Rafah. Within a few hours, our troops raised the Israeli flag at the Rafah crossing and lowered the Hamas flag,” Netanyahu said as reported by CNN, Wednesday (8/5/ 2024).
He underlined that there are two main objectives of the military aggression in Rafah. One of them, he said, was to eliminate Hamas.
“The entry into Rafah has two main war objectives: the return of our hostages and the elimination of Hamas,” he stressed.
Netanyahu stressed that it was necessary to exert military pressure on Hamas to free the hostages. He also said that the ceasefire proposed by Hamas was simply to thwart the invasion of Rafah.
“Yesterday’s proposal from Hamas was intended to torpedo the entry of our troops into Rafah. This did not happen,” he added.
Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal on Monday, but Israel said the deal was still “far from” meeting its demands. Netanyahu confirmed that he had sent a team of Israeli negotiators to Cairo, Egypt’s capital, to continue to “hold firm” on Israel’s terms.

Chinese Cyber Attack Exposes British Military Personnel Data: Sky News
On May 7, British Sky News reported that China had illegally accessed a database containing personal information about British military personnel. Photo taken in July 2021 (2024 Reuters/Dado Ruvic)
[７日 ロイター] – British Prime Minister Sunak said on the 7th that a database containing the personal information of British military personnel had been illegally accessed, saying the attack could have been carried out by a “malicious person.” However, he did not mention the possibility that China was involved.
Britain’s Sky News and the BBC reported on the same day that China was behind a cyber attack on the payroll system used by the British Ministry of Defence. The system recorded the names of Navy, Army and Air Force personnel, as well as bank account information and other information.
“Malicious actors may have infiltrated military networks,” Sunak said. The Ministry of Defense said it was already taking countermeasures.
Britain’s Ministry of Defense declined to comment on China’s involvement, but said Defense Secretary Shapps would present a “multifaceted plan to support and protect those involved” in parliament.
Sky said it was unlikely Mr Shapps would name the countries involved in the hack.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian claimed that China opposes and fights against all kinds of cyber attacks, and said it rejects any attempt to politicize the hacking issue to defame other countries.
“What British politicians are saying on this issue is ridiculous,” he said.
Britain’s Work and Pensions Secretary, Stride, told Sky News that the database is managed by an external contractor.
“The Ministry of Defense acted very quickly to close the database,”

However, at the end of the afternoon, Fernando Madureira’s wife, Sandra, and five of the seven detained at the Bela Vista police station (Hugo Loureiro, Fernando Saul, Vítor ‘Aleixo’, Vítor Bruno Oliveira and José Pereira) were released.
The investigations began with a significant delay, compared to the scheduled time (10 am), with the investigating judge Pedro Miguel Vieira arriving at the TIC at 11 am.
Last Wednesday, the PSP detained 12 people – including two FC Porto employees and the leader of the Super Dragões, Fernando Madureira
