⭕️ Statement issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health:

The Israeli occupation army continues to target the health system completely in all governorates of the Gaza Strip, as it has destroyed dozens of hospitals and medical centers and put them completely out of service.

The occupation deliberately targets medical staff, as it has executed more than 1,000 doctors, nurses and health cadres in the Gaza Strip so far.

Yesterday, the Israeli occupation army targeted and destroyed the Martyr Muhammad Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah Governorate, south of the Gaza Strip, as the occupation sent robots carrying tons of explosives, and destroyed the only government hospital in Rafah Governorate.

This hospital provided health and medical services to 300,000 people, and provided health services during the genocide war to one and a half million displaced people and citizens before invading Rafah Governorate.

This crime requires a serious stance from the international community in all its spectrums within the framework of protecting and restoring the health sector and bringing it back to life after it was targeted and destroyed by the criminal Nazi Israeli occupation army.

In this context, the occupation army also targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip during the past hours, specifically targeting the hospital administration directly and without any reason, as the occupation opened heavy fire towards the hospital director's office, and the occupation also targeted the families of the medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital, as two doctors in the hospital received their families and were completely exterminated, the occupation killed their wives and children all in a crime that shames humanity.

We condemn in the strongest terms the targeting of the health sector and the occupation's collapse of the health system in the Gaza Strip by destroying hospitals and targeting medical staff by killing, injuring and arresting them.

We demand the international community and all international and UN organizations:

First: Stop this war and genocide against our Palestinian people.

Second: We demand the protection of hospitals and the security of medical staff.

Third: Work to restart and restore hospitals before it is too late.

The Gaza Strip is experiencing a catastrophic phase that no country in the world has experienced, and we appeal to the entire world to work effectively and seriously to save the humanitarian and health reality in the Gaza Strip before it is too late.

⚡️3 British Men arrested in Mali for tax avoidance on Gold Mines

An Australian mining company, Resolute Mining, says it will pay Mali's military government $160m (£126m) to settle a tax dispute, after the company's British boss and two other staff were arrested 10 days ago.

Reports say Terry Holohan and his colleagues were arrested while travelling to the capital city, Bamako, for what they were expecting to be routine negotiations.

Resolute, which "owns" a gold mine in Mali, said on Sunday it would pay $80m immediately from existing cash reserves, and the rest in the coming months.

Mali is one of Africa's top gold producers.

It is seeking to extract a greater share of income from foreign operators in the sector.

It is not yet clear when the three Resolute employees will be released.

Part of the conditions for their release were that they must sign the memorandum of understanding and complete the initial payment, according to a report by the French broadcaster RFI.

Mali's military rulers detained the three Resolute executives on charges of forgery and damaging public property, amid an ongoing state crackdown on foreign - mostly Western - mining companies in the West African country.

Since taking power in a coup in 2021, Mali's junta has sought to reconfigure its political and trade relationships with international partners.

Last year, President Col Assimi Goïta signed into law a new mining code increasing the maximum stake for state and local investors from 20% to 35%.

🇱🇧 A source close to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed:

🎯The atmosphere is positive and the meeting with Hochstein is the most serious and raises the possibility of reaching an agreement, knowing that there is no trust in the enemy.

🎯There are some loopholes in the American proposal that are being worked on with Hochstein to preserve Lebanese sovereignty.

🎯We prefer not to reveal the details and hope to complete the solution of the loopholes before the American mediator leaves for Tel Aviv.

🎯 It cannot be said that Lebanon is optimistic, but hope is greater. This is the first time that the talks have developed and taken such a serious path. We also rely on the American approach and the positive atmosphere it gives us, and we will wait to see what the enemy will respond to.

🎯 The basis of the American proposal remains Resolution 1701, and Lebanon is only demanding its rights and what preserves its sovereignty. If the Israelis refuse, they will be the only obstructionists.
