Israel refuses ceasefire because it suspects that Hamas “executed many hostages” –
Journalist Henrique Cymerman, SIC correspondent in the Middle East, who interviewed the then Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos, who had not spoken to the press for 22 years, shares the Israeli concern, and states that it is “unacceptable” that the group that governs the The Gaza Strip wants to impose in the agreement, without a plausible basis, the possibility of handing over, in the first phase, 33 hostages, “dead or alive”. In turn, the US understands the Israeli pain and concern, but has already reduced military support in the face of the IDF’s entry into Rafah.
The War Cabinet designed by Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, refused the ceasefire mediated by Egypt and Qatar, accepted by Hamas, due to the fact that the group led by Yahya Ibrahim Al-Sinwar, had made suggestions that the country disagree.
Already on Monday, when information was highlighted in several newspapers that Hamas, the group that started the war by killing more than a thousand people in a surprise attack it carried out on Israeli territory, on October 7 last year, had given yes the peace proposal, Hebrew officials already interpreted it as a simple way of exposing Israel as the side that refuses an agreement, taking into account that the group

Russia turns to hybrid warfare in Europe: ‘Now is their time’
In the German town of Grafenwöhr, hidden among the forests of northern Bavaria, there is little to see for the average passerby. You can move past it. But to the west and south of the village lies an American military base that is the main US training area in Europe. Ukrainians learn to operate American M1 Abrams tanks.

Last month, Bavarian police arrested two men suspected of spying on the base with the intention of carrying out an attack there later. The suspects, Dieter S. (39) and Alexander J. (37), both have German and Russian nationality. “Since October, Dieter S. has been exchanging information with a person associated with the Russian secret services,” the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office announced after the arrests. “They talked about possible sabotage actions to undermine Germany’s military support for Ukraine.” Dieter S., who fought alongside pro-Russian separatist militias in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, between 2014 and 2016, discussed attacks on military infrastructure and industrial zones in Germany with his Russian contact. He wanted to hit them with explosives or arson. Since March he has received the help of the other suspect for his espionage activities.
The minister’s car
The German arrests were not an isolated case. In March, London’s Metropolitan Police arrested two young British men who set fire to couriers in east London. The affected companies are linked to Ukraine.
One of the suspects is also said to have recruited other people to provide support to a “foreign intelligence service”. In that case three others were reported, although for less serious crimes. The British Foreign Office has summoned the Russian ambassador over the issue. The (preparations for) sabotages come in addition to other actions coordinated by Russia in the West, such as disinformation campaigns, hacker attacks and electronic warfare through the disruption of GPS signals. The big difference is that these incidents, no matter how serious and destructive they may be, always remain “virtual”. With arson and target reconnaissance, the Kremlin also ventures into physical actions.
