REUTERS/Osman Orsal/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsANKARA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The European Commission's annual report on Turkey's long-stalled EU membership bid is "unjust and biased", the Turkish foreign ministry said. "We categorically reject unfounded claims and unjust criticisms, particularly on the political criteria and the Chapter on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights," the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement. The Turkish ministry said the allegations were unfair and highlighted "the insincerity of EU's approach and a clear double-standard", adding that fundamental rights issues were contentious even among EU member states. Turkey's bid to join the EU has been frozen for years after having launched membership talks in 2005.

Hamas' fighters released footage purporting to show an Israeli tank under attack. AdvertisementAdvertisementHamas released footage that appears to show the guerrilla-style destruction of an Israeli tank in Gaza. In what appears to be helmet-cam footage, the fighter spies a number of tanks from behind bushes. That video did not align with that — there were no visible infantry or other forces who acted to stop the Hamas fighter. Analysts have predicted that Israel's fight in Gaza — which has seen massive civilian destruction — would not be a lightning offensive.

Whirlpool also said it had agreed to sell its Middle Eastern and African businesses to Arcelik, which the Turkish firm said was for 20 million euros ($21.65 million) in cash. The moves come after Whirlpool launched a review of its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operations in April 2022 and said it planned to focus on higher margin businesses. The U.S. firm said the Middle Eastern and African businesses being sold to Arcelik had sales of around $4.2 billion in 2021. The entirety of Whirlpool's EMEA business reported sales of $5.01 billion last year. The deals are expected to be completed in the second half of the 2023, subject to regulatory approval, Arcelik said.
