AMMAN March 22 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike hit near Syria's Aleppo airport early Wednesday, causing "material damage" and shutting down operations there, Syrian officials said, while regional intelligence sources said the attack hit an Iranian arms depot. In the third attack on Aleppo airport in six months, Israel launched "a number of missiles from the Mediterranean Sea, west of the coastal city of Latakia, at 3:55 a.m.", the Syrian defence ministry said in a statement on state media. Two regional intelligence sources said the strike hit an underground munitions depot linked to the nearby Nairab military airport, where missile systems delivered on several Iranian military planes had been stored. Nairab military airport has been used regularly for Iranian arms deliveries and the movement of troops, the intelligence sources said. An Israeli strike on March 7 that knocked Aleppo airport out of service blew up an Iranian arms cargo shipment hours after it was delivered by a plane that Damascus said was carrying aid, the Western intelligence sources say.
DUBAI, March 9 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi announced a reshuffle at the top of its two biggest sovereign wealth funds on Thursday, appointing senior members of the royal family as chairmen. Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, one of the most powerful members of Abu Dhabi's royal family, was named chair of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), among the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, the government's media office said. ADIA is estimated by Global SWF to manage $993 billion in assets, while the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute puts the figure at $790 billion. The wealth fund's last chairman was the previous UAE president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who died last year. MORE NEWCOMERSThe UAE president is appointing his brothers as chairmen at state sovereign wealth funds rather than chairing them himself.
For them, weakening the Supreme Court would undermine the bedrock of Israel's democracy and could set the country on the path to becoming a corrupt and religiously coercive state. In 2020, the Supreme Court struck down a law that had retroactively legalised homes built by settlers on land owned by Palestinians, like Amona. Settlers driven by ideology see themselves as pioneers redeeming land that was promised by God and many feel betrayed by Supreme Court rulings against settlements. The Supreme Court did not respond to a request for comment. "The Supreme Court has challenged parliament time and again, playing politics, not nicely."
"The Security Council reiterates that continuing Israeli settlement activities are dangerously imperiling the viability of the two-State solution based on the 1967 lines," the council said in the statement. "The Security Council expresses deep concern and dismay with Israel's announcement on February 12." Resolutions need nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, Russia, China, France or Britain to be adopted. Netanyahu's office described the Security Council statement on Monday as "one-sided" and criticized the United States for supporting it, adding: "The statement should not have been made and the United States should not have joined it." Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the Security Council that the United States opposes Israel's Feb. 12 settlement plans.
"I haven't seen my family for four years, as I live alone in Turkey," Qramo said after crossing into Syria. Qramo, who had been living in the city of Gaziantep, said people were staying in tents in the cold and rain. In Gaziantep, Qramo said police had moved Syrians out of a mosque where they were sheltering to make way for Turkish families. Several Turks in other quake-hit towns and cities have accused Syrians of robbing damaged shops and homes. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck before dawn 11 days ago, killing more than 38,000 people in Turkey and 5,800 in Syria.
He added that a government committee was looking into adding secular subjects to madrasas alongside religious study, a development that hasn't been previously reported. Other students and teachers said Islamic education played an important role in their lives, though they hoped to be able to study secular subjects too. He didn't elaborate on the government's plans for religious schools. Reuters was unable to determine the current number of madrasas, and Taliban authorities have not provided figures. "There's deep-seated mistrust of the formal education sector, despite the fact that it too incorporates Islamic education."

MANCHESTER, England, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Manchester City produced a defiant response to the Premier League's charge sheet as they comfortably beat Aston Villa 3-1 to close to within three points of leaders Arsenal on Sunday. Goals by Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez put the result beyond doubt by halftime as City got back on track following last weekend's loss at Tottenham Hotspur. Villa were left with mission impossible when Mahrez tucked away a penalty in first-half stoppage time after Jacob Ramsey was adjudged to have tripped former Villa player Jack Grealish. Champions City have 48 points from 22 games to Arsenal's 51 from 21 and can go top if they win at Arsenal on Wednesday. "It was a bad result, but we have to learn and use it in the next matches."

[1/5] Nurses attend to Ayoub Jabri, who suffers from neck cancer, at the emergency ward of the National Oncology Center in Sanaa, Yemen January 10, 2023. "He is getting worse," said Jabri breaking down in tears as he stood by the bed where Ayoub, who began treatment for neck cancer three years ago, received an intravenous drip. The NOC in Sanaa is funded by the de facto Houthi authorities in North Yemen. He said the centre listed some 130 cancer drugs as crucial but that only around 50% are available. The Houthi movement blames the Saudi-led coalition and the sea and air blockade for the shortage of medical and other supplies such as fuel.
REUTERS/Mike SegarUNITED NATIONS, Jan 5 (Reuters) - U.N. Security Council members voiced concern on Thursday and stressed the need to maintain a status quo at the Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, days after Israel's new far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir briefly visited the site. The decades-old status quo allows only Muslim worship at the compound, a site also revered by Jews, who call it the Temple Mount. "What red line does Israel need to cross for the Security Council to finally say, enough is enough," Mansour told the 15-member council, accusing Israel of showing "absolute contempt." Israel has not harmed the status quo and has no plans to do so." "We note that Prime Minister Netanyahu's governing platform calls for preservation of the status quo with relation to the holy places.
REUTERS/Ammar AwadUNITED NATIONS, Dec 30 (Reuters) - The 193-member United Nations General Assembly on Friday asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give an opinion on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem - areas the Palestinians want for a state - in a 1967 war. The Hague-based ICJ, also known as the World Court, is the top U.N. court dealing with disputes between states. The request for a court opinion on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories was made in a resolution adopted by the General Assembly with 87 votes in favor. Any decision from a judicial body which receives its mandate from the morally bankrupt and politicized U.N. is completely illegitimate," Israel's U.N.
In November, the owners of first Liverpool and then Manchester United confirmed they were open to new investment offers, with the potential for full sales of the top flight English clubs. Meanwhile New York-listed shares in Manchester United popped 18% on the news on Nov. 23 that its owners were similarly opening themselves up to investment opportunities. Big money competition One recurring complaint Manchester United fans have had of the Glazers is a lack of investment in the club, across both facilities and players. Old Trafford Stadium, the home of Manchester United Football Club. "In the cases of Liverpool and Manchester United, both owners have held the clubs for a long time, and both assets have appreciated a lot as their leagues and brands and global fan bases have developed.
"We were in contact with half of the city, all the big real estate companies ... A week before the World Cup began on Nov. 20, the rate was $250 a night, the broker said. Eleven days before kick-off, organisers had said there were at least 25,000 rooms available for every night of the World Cup. "Never ever, at no World Cup, have I heard anything like this," said Bauer of the last-minute charges. His Khaya agency has block-booked accommodation and sold rooms to fans, FIFA sponsors and other officials at three previous World Cups.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the UAE's renewable energy firm Masdar alongside its joint venture with Egypt's main renewable energy developer Infinity and Hassan Allam Utilities, the statement on news agency WAM said. "With this agreement to develop our largest ever project, Masdar is proud to bolster our contribution to Egypt's renewable energy goals," Masdar's CEO Mohamed Jameel al-Ramahi said. When completed, the wind farm would be part of Egypt's Green Corridor initiative, a grid dedicated to renewable energy projects that is aimed at ensuring renewable energy makes up 42% of the country's energy mix by 2035. The wind project would save Egypt an estimated $5 billion in annual natural gas costs, the statement said. Egypt's total installed power capacity was around 59.5 GW in 2019/2020, the country's renewable energy authority said in an annual report.
The U.N. Mideast envoy said 2022 is on course to be the deadliest year for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since the U.N. started tracking fatalities in 2005, and he called for immediate action to calm “an explosive situation” and move toward renewing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Wennesland said the month saw “a spike in fatal violence” that has 2022 on track to be the deadliest in the West Bank. More than 125 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli-Palestinian fighting in the West Bank and East Jerusalem this year. Ongoing Israeli arrest raids in the West Bank pose a serious challenge to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians want the West Bank to form the main part of their future state.
Some citizens identify as Palestinian, despite their Israeli citizenship, while others prefer to be called Arab citizens of Israel, because they want to emphasize equal rights with Jewish Israelis. Opinion polls he conducted show that more than 70% of eligible Palestinian voters now support an Arab party participating in a coalition, whether they intend to vote themselves or not. Makladeh, the pollster, said the most repeated phrase during interviews with 200 Palestinian citizens in Israel for a recent poll was: "We are voting for nothing." A relatively small group of eligible voters among Palestinians citizens in Israel, around 12% according to Makladeh, has actively boycotted general elections for years. Regional changes have also shifted priorities for Palestinian citizens in Israel, Khalaily said.
Several hours after the Justice Department unsealed the indictments, the Treasury Department announced new sanctions against 10 Iranian nationals and two Iranian tech companies. Treasury officials described all 10 of the sanctioned individuals as "affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps." The IRGC is an elite branch of the Iranian military that oversees Iran's international cyber warfare and espionage operations. According to a notice from the Treasury Department, this particular group of Iranians is not obviously aligned with one of the existing IRGC proxy gangs. The Justice Department has struggled for decades to convince institutional victims of cyberattacks that they would be better served by reporting the attack than by covering it up.

Șeicul lui Manchester City le va achita fanilor toate cheltuielile pentru deplasarea la finala UCLProprietarul lui Manchester City, şeicul Mansour bin Zayed al Nayan, va plăti călătoria fanilor care vor asista la finala Ligii Campionilor la fotbal, pe 29 mai, la Porto, a anunţat clubul englez. Finala ar fi trebuit să aibă loc la Istanbul, însă a fost mutată în Portugalia, unde situaţia sanitară este mai bună. Pe lângă plata biletelor, fanii ar fi trebuit să suporte și costurile pentru testarea PCR obligatorie, ceea ce ar fi făcut aproape imposibilă deplasarea. Această iniţiativă vine la circa o lună după ce Manchester City a participat la proiectul eşuat al unei Super Ligi europene disidente, proiect care a stârnit nemulţumirea fanilor celor şase cluburi engleze implicate. City a fost printre primele cluburi care au renunţat la acest proiect, la mai puţin de 48 de ore după ce el a fost prezentat.

Dar după săptămâni de intrigi, discuţii pe coridor şi zvonuri uneori contradictorii, premierul cel mai longeviv din istoria Israelului, nu a reuşit să obţină o majoritate de 61 de parlamentari pentru a forma un guvern. "Cu puţin timp înainte de miezul nopţii, domnul Netanyahu a informat preşedinţia că nu poate forma un guvern şi, prin urmare, înapoiază mandatul preşedintelui", a anunţat biroul preşedintelui Rivlin într-un comunicat citat de Agerpres. În încercarea de a atinge acest prag, prim-ministrul israelian a încercat fără succes să-i recupereze pe cei care au părăsit partidul Likud pentru a forma partidul conservator "Noua Speranţă", curtând chiar partidul islamist al lui Mansour Abbas, Raam, ceea ce a vexat "extrema dreaptă". În această calitate, fostul şef al armatei, Benny Gantz, a declarat marţi seară că "a vorbit cu toţi liderii partidelor pro-schimbare pentru a le cere să recomande ca Yair Lapid să obţină mandatul pentru a forma guvernul" pentru a forma apoi un executiv împreună "în câteva ore". Dacă opoziţia reuşeşte să formeze un guvern, o pagină din istoria Israelului se va încheia odată cu plecarea din fruntea guvernului a lui Benjamin Netanyahu, care a petrecut ultimii 12 ani la putere.

Cel puțin cinci persoane au fost ucise și alte zeci au fost rănite, a declarat o sursă din aparatul de securitate pentru Reuters, citată de BBC News. Se pare că premierul Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed și membrii cabinetului au scăpat nevătămați și au fost transportați în siguranță într-o clădire prezidențială. Ministrul informației a declarat că exploziile au fost rezultatul unui „atac terorist” al rebelilor Houthi. Se presupune că STC sunt aliați în războiul civil împotriva mișcării Houthi, care controlează capitala Sanaa și o mare parte din nord-vestul Yemenului. Yemenul a fost devastat de un conflict care a escaladat în 2015, când o coaliție de state arabe conduse de Arabia Saudită a lansat o operațiune militară pentru a-i învinge pe houthi și a restabili controlul președintelui Hadi.

Viitorul lui Leo Messi la FC Barcelona e în continuare incert şi, după 16 ani petrecuţi la clubul blaugrana, argentinianul pare cel mai aproape de plecare, având în vedere condiţiile şi relaţia pe care o are cu şefii. Messi şi-a dorit să plece în august, însă n-a fost lăsat de fostul preşedinte, Josep Maria Bartomeu, iar, în ciuda demisiei lui Barotmeu, relaţia dintre Messi şi Barcelona e în continuare tensionată. Concret, scrie The Times, Manchester City e gata să-i ofere lui Leo Messi un contract pe 10 ani. Manchester City a încercat să-l transfere pe Leo Messi şi în vară, când acesta a anunţat că vrea să plece de pe Camp Nou. Echipa de pe Etihad Stadium îi oferă, conform presei din Anlgia, acelaşi salariu ca la FC Barcelona, adică 40 de milioane de euro pe sezon.
