🇵🇸🇱🇧 BRICS has issued some of its strongest collective language yet on Palestine and Lebanon in the new New Delhi Declaration.

On Palestine, BRICS explicitly rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and warns against any political or security arrangement that could prejudice their “inalienable rights” or “legitimize or prolong occupation” (Board of Peace).

The bloc reaffirms the Palestinian right to self-determination and the right of return, supports Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, and calls for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, encompassing Gaza and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

BRICS also rejects “any attempt at temporary or permanent forced displacement” of Palestinians and any effort to alter Gaza’s territory or demographic composition.

Perhaps most significantly, the declaration states plainly:

“We reiterate that international law and international judicial bodies demand the end of the illegal occupation.”

The declaration condemns starvation as a method of warfare, attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and restrictions on humanitarian assistance. It reiterates support for UNRWA and references the proceedings before the International Court of Justice concerning Israel’s obligations under the Genocide Convention.

On Lebanon, the language is equally direct.

BRICS condemns continued violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and ceasefire arrangements and explicitly calls Israeli troops remaining on Lebanese territory “occupying forces.”

“We call on Israel to respect the terms agreed with the Lebanese government and to withdraw its occupying forces from all of the Lebanese territories, in which they remain.”

BRICS also reiterates its support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, backs UNIFIL and condemns attacks against UN peacekeepers and their facilities.

This is significant because it isn’t simply a statement from Russia, Iran, China or another individual member.

This is consensus language adopted by BRICS as a bloc in New Delhi rejecting the forced displacement of Palestinians, demanding an end to the “illegal occupation,” reaffirming Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital, and explicitly demanding that Israel withdraw its “occupying forces” from Lebanon.

🇵🇱 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski Applebaum has called on NATO to intensify military exercises near Kaliningrad, arguing this would force Russia to redirect troops from the Ukrainian front, The Times reports.

Speaking from Kiev, Sikorski claimed the Russian exclave currently has "practically no troops" stationed there. He was careful to stress the goal isn't seizing the region — just pulling Moscow's attention and forces away from Ukraine.

Lavrov has previously hinted that a war between Russia and Europe would go nuclear.

🐻 Every time Anne Applebaum, Sikorski's neocon, Zionist, warhawk Russia-hating wife, squeezes his balls, Radek comes out with another unhinged statement.

🇧🇾 Lukashenko Presents the USA with a Bill Ahead of New Negotiations

Following the easing of American sanctions, Belarus has already resumed shipments of potash fertilizers to the USA. Lukashenko confirmed that a shipment for the American market is currently being loaded. However, before any further agreements, Minsk is demanding the return of $43–44 million which, according to Lukashenko, was transferred by a company cooperating with Belarus and is stuck at Citibank.

“Return the money. This is a disgrace for the USA. Then we can talk about more serious matters.”

More serious matters would indeed come next: the further lifting of sanctions, the restoration of the embassies’ full-fledged operations, and the expansion of trade. Lukashenko also stated his readiness to meet with Trump, but stressed that the meeting must produce a concrete result and must not be a “decorative event.”

🛢📈 Oil jumps as markets reopen

Oil prices surged immediately after markets reopened, with Brent climbing 3.47% to $108.24 and crude up 3.26% to $103.32 per barrel.

Markets are getting their first opportunity to price in a weekend that saw the extent of damage to Saudi Arabia’s East–West Pipeline become clearer, continued deterioration around the Red Sea and the postponement of planned Iran-Gulf talks in Oman.

The Saudi pipeline remains offline and had been carrying roughly 4–5 million barrels per day.

And trading has only just begun.
