Israel, a major US partner, has not provided direct military aid to Ukraine. Russia allows Israel to conduct operations targeting Iran-linked forces in Syria, something it doesn't want to jeopardize. Israel, as of February 2022, was the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance — most of which comes in the form of military support. But the country has stopped short of providing direct lethal military aid to Ukraine, despite pleas from leadership in Kyiv. Even as Moscow allows Israel to clamp down on Iranian influence in Syria, Russia and Iran have increased their military ties and support throughout the Ukraine war.

CAIRO, Jan 29 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the Middle East on Sunday, beginning a three-day visit as violence flares between Israelis and Palestinians, and with Iran and the war in Ukraine high on the agenda. There has also been a spate of deadly violence in recent days, heightening fears that already spiralling violence will further escalate. A Palestinian gunman killed seven people in an attack outside a Jerusalem synagogue on Friday. Blinken will also travel to Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, other Palestinian officials, and members of civil society. Blinken will hear from people inside and outside of government on the reforms, she added.
The study by researchers from healthcare provider Clalit, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Sapir College has not yet been peer reviewed. The study was carried out from the end of September until mid-December and looked at 622,701 people aged 65 and over who were eligible for the bivalent booster. "Hospitalization due to Covid-19 occurred in 6 bivalent recipients and 297 participants who did not" receive it, the study said. "Participants who received the bivalent vaccine had lower hospitalization and mortality rates due to Covid-19 than non-recipients up to 70 days after vaccination." While the bivalent vaccine targets the original strain and its BA.4/BA.5 Omicron subvariant, scientists have been closely watching another Omicron subvariant, XBB.1.5, which has been rapidly spreading in the United States.

Armata israeliană a efectuat mai multe raiduri aeriene în Siria în ultimele 24 de ore, autorităţile siriene raportând cel puţin un mort şi mai mulţi răniţi, informează cotidianul Times of Israel, citat de Mediafax. Conform agenţiei SANA, în cursul nopţii de miercuri spre joi, elicoptere militare israeliene au atacat poziţii din zona Quneitra, în zona sub control sirian a Înălţimilor Golan. Anterior, avioane militare israeliene au atacat poziţii din nordul şi vestul Siriei, în Latakia şi Hama. Acestea sunt primele atacuri israeliene asupra Siriei după ce o rachetă lansată de pe teritoriul sirian a căzut, la sfârşitul lunii aprilie, în deşertul Negev. Israelul efectuează frecvent raiduri aeriene în Siria, vizând în principal baze militare iraniene sau transporturi de armament destinate organizaţiei islamiste Hezbollah.

Armata israeliană a anunţat joi dimineaţă devreme că a efectuat lovituri aeriene asupra Siriei după un "tir de rachetă" din această ţară care a căzut în deşertul Negev (sud), în apropierea unei instalaţii nucleare israeliene care este considerată secretă, scrie agerpres. "O rachetă sol-aer identificată ca venind din Siria a căzut în Negev. Ca represalii, în urmă cu câteva minute, armata israeliană a lovit bateria de la care a fost lansată racheta şi alte baterii de rachete sol-aer siriene", a declarat armata israeliană într-un scurt mesaj.Potrivit agenţiei oficiale de presă siriene Sana, armata israeliană a lansat rachete de pe înălţimile Golan "către poziţii din vecinătatea Damascului". ), susţin că statul israelian are între 100 şi 300 de focoase nucleare, aminteşte AFP.Israelul susţine că încearcă astfel să împiedice ca principalul său duşman, Iranul, să se implanteze în Siria, o ţară cu care statul israelian se învecinează. În timp ce armata israeliană a efectuat sute de lovituri în Siria, ea rareori a recunoscut public aceste lovituri.De asemenea, cele mai multe tiruri din Siria au fost interceptate de scutul antirachetă israelian "Domul de Fier", fără a ajunge în sudul Israelului.

A declassified memorandum reveals a 1963 US plan to create an alternative to the Suez Canal.

The historian Alex Wellerstein called the plan a "modest proposal for the Suez Canal situation" on Twitter on March 24, 2021. It suggested that an "interesting application of nuclear excavation would be a sea-level canal 160 miles long across Israel." The laboratory noted that there were 130 miles of "virtually unpopulated desert wasteland, and are thus amenable to nuclear excavation methods."
