The United States and Turkey clash with the Kurds and Syria

BreakingNews @en di

The United States will arm the Kurds in Syria, a decision announced on 9 May. Turkey reacted indignantly. On May 11, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged Washington to “come back to his footsteps”, but more or less at the same time the US military confirmed that “very soon” will begin delivering mortars, heavy machine guns, light weapons and vehicles armored. For Turkey, the emergence of autonomous Syrian Kurdistan is therefore a huge problem. Turkey, in fact, can not do anything to prevent it. Ankara can not approach Russia more than it has already done, because it can not break with the Americans at a time when its relations with the European Union are at the lowest level.

BreakingNews @en di

Two-thirds of Serbia’s trade are conducted with EU member states. Since 2000 Brussels has approved three billion euros in donations, 1.6 billion by Germany alone. It is normal that in addition, Serbia has traditional and close ties with other countries, including Russia”, said Dittmann.

BreakingNews @en di

Hamas is stepping up its efforts to carry out a major terrorist attack in Judea and Samaria to avenge the killing of one of its top operatives in the Gaza Strip, defense officials told Israel Hayom Wednesday. Mazen Faqha was killed in mid-March in what Hamas said was a Mossad assassination. Hamas has vowed to avenge Faqha, even going as far as directly threatening top Israel officials. The military and Shin Bet security agency have been following the group’s efforts very closely, and have stepped up their counterterrorism efforts across Judea and Samaria. Israeli authorities have arrested a number of terrorists operating under explicit instructions from Gaza to carry out attacks, mainly abductions and mass-casualty attacks. Faqha was a close associate of Hamas leader in Gaza.Hamas’ efforts to carry out a major terrorist attack compound existing security tensions, which are expected to escalate further against the backdrop of three coinciding events: The upcoming visit by U.S. President Donald Trump; Jerusalem Day, which this year marks the 50th anniversary of the capital’s reunification; and the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.Israeli security forces are collaborating with their Palestinian counterparts and the joint counterterrorism efforts have prevented dozens of attacks over the past few months. Defense officials predict that if a diplomatic breakthrough is achieved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during Trump’s visit, terrorists will consequently step up their efforts to carry out attacks.

Carlos Humberto Loitey (Uruguay), Military Adviser (MilAd) per le Nazioni Unite e responsabile del SottoSegretariato Generale.

Il Ten. Gen. Carlos Humberto Loitey, che ricopre l’incarico dal 22 novembre 2016, è deputato alla supervisione e all’assistenza di alcuni organi delle Nazioni Unite quali il Segretariato Generale, il Consiglio di Sicurezza, il Department of Political Affairs e il Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) ed è dirigente esecutivo e politico delle missioni militari di mantenimento della pace, fra cui UNIFIL. Il Comandante della Missione, il generale dell’esercito irlandese Micheal Beary e il Comandante della Joint Task Force – Lebanon, il Generale di Brigata Francesco Olla, hanno accolto il Military Adviser presso la base “UN-P 1-31”, l’avamposto dei “caschi blu” italiani che senza sosta monitora la zona di confine tra Libano e Israele attraverso attività di pattugliamento motorizzato e appiedato lungo la cosiddetta Blue Line, la linea di demarcazione dettata dalle Nazioni Unite il 7 giugno del 2000.

Nella base avanzata, dove attualmente è stanziato un plotone dei “Lancieri di Montebello”, il MilAd ha avuto occasione di approfondire, attraverso un briefing informativo, le tematiche connesse sia alla definizione esatta della citata Blue Line da parte delle Autorità Libanesi e Israeliane sia alle attività previste dalla Risoluzione del Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite 1701 che il contingente italiano svolge dal 2006 con l’Operazione “LEONTE”.
