Kenyan President William Ruto defended a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility at a military base after two people were killed during protests.

The minister is scheduled to return to Israel as early as Wednesday, after conducting an intensive marathon of meetings in the United States with key Latin American figures.

Israel is either an apartheid genocidal state, or it can do no wrong. The result is that the political currency of being a bridge-builder has depreciated.

Salam’s comments came amid the now-revealed IDF operation of crossing the Litani River, where it successfully secured the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi al-Saluki areas of southern Lebanon.

The ruptured tank contained about 900,000 gallons (3.4 million liters) of white liquor, and tests confirmed that contamination entered the nearby Columbia River, officials have said.

The IDF ramps up strikes on Hezbollah amid fears a US-Iran ceasefire could limit Israeli operations in Lebanon, reporting 2,500 fighters killed since Operation Roaring Lion began.

Authorities said they don't yet know what caused a 900,000-gallon vat at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging facility to implode.

Multiple patients who suffered from chemical burns and other injuries were transported to nearby hospitals. Authorities said the implosion posed "no immediate threat to the surrounding community."

Now, after 47 years, the CIA, in coordination with Mossad, may have assumed responsibility for a campaign against the Islamic Republic in pursuit of what many describe as a “new Middle East.”

A narrow agreement that freezes one file while funding the rest of the system would create the illusion of progress and the reality of danger.
