◾Greater Israel (Hebrew: ארץ ישראל השלמה; Eretz Yisrael Hashlema) is an expression, with several different biblical and political meanings over time. It is often used to refer to the historic or desired borders of Israel.

- Tehiya and the National Religious Party are parties which support the idea.

- Annexation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip was part of the platform of the Israeli Likud party, and other parties. On September 14, 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert remarked that "Greater Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves".

- Meir Kahane, an ultra-nationalist Knesset member, who founded the American Jewish Defense League, worked towards Greater Israel and Zionist goals.

- In March 2023, the Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich used a map showing all of mandatory Palestine and Transjordan as an undivided unit in a speech in which he declared that the Palestinian people don't exist.

🇸🇾🇺🇦 In the Arabic-language Twitter, an interesting interview with a Turkish-backed Syrian fighter who fought on the Ukrainian side can be found.

General points:
— the situation in some sections of the front remains very difficult for the AFU (especially, in the Zaporizhzhya direction);
— along the frontline, there is very little or even no advance of Ukrainian forces;
— Ukrainian troops are experiencing a great lack of equipment, especially armored vehicles;
— the morale among Ukrainians who have had to spend a year and a half in trenches taking part in non-stop clashes is very low.

🇺🇸🇨🇳#bonds

China's net sales of U.S. debt securities hit a 4-year high.

It should be understood that we are not just talking about Treasuries. There are also so-called agency bonds, there are corporate debt securities, and there are stocks.

What are agency bonds? Well, they're debt securities issued by various government agencies or government-sponsored agencies other than the Treasury. Well, for example, the same mortgage agencies like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

In recent years, Chinese funds have been flowing into such securities, but they have been fleeing from them for a year now.

👉Around the Avdeevsky fortified area, after several days of relative calm, Russian troops, after artillery preparation, resumed the assault on Ukrainian positions in several areas.

🔻On the northern flank, fighters of the Russian Armed Forces, as a result of fierce battles, were able to completely occupy the most important stronghold on the waste heap. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, under the cover of tank fire, retreated behind the railway track. Now the positions are being cleared.

▪️After the initial breakthrough to Berdychi, the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred several battalions of the 31st and 110th ombres to strengthen the lines. This allowed the enemy to push the Russian Armed Forces towards the railway. The line of control runs along it.

🔻Also, units of the Russian army launched an offensive in the south of Avdeevka for several days. During the attack, with the support of artillery, we managed to advance from the Avdeevskaya ring road to the "450" railway station.

❗️The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces near Avdeevka continues in a systematic manner without drastic and hasty actions to save the lives of personnel. The enemy transferred a large number of forces and means to stabilize the front.

At the same time, rather suspicious activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is also noted in Pervomaisky. Mechanized groups, presumably the 59th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, are being brought into the village. Judging by the movements, the Ukrainian Armed Forces want to attack the Vodyanoye-Sands line from the flank while the Russian Armed Forces are distracted by the offensive.

The AFU are preparing another batch of manpower for the front?

A footage of Ukrainian women at a training ground has appeared on the web.

🇵🇸🇮🇱☦️The Greek Orthodox Church condemned the Israeli attack on the Church of St. Porphyrios.

The Jerusalem Council of Churches called on Israel to stop the massacre in the Gaza Strip.

By the way, as they write, this church is very ancient, built during the conquest of Palestine by the Crusaders during the Crusades.
