Italian PM Meloni on the Russian diesel deal:
The outcome of this decision is doubtful, while the risks are clear: legitimizing Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, financing its war, and weakening sanctions.
These elements contradict what Western countries, including the United States, have done so far to push Putin to the negotiating table.

❗️EXPOSED: The cooperation between “charities” and terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria*
Security forces completed 2 targeted operations against illegal “charities” in Ramallah & Yatta, which served as offices for Hamas and the PFLP and advanced terror throughout Judea and Samaria. 5 operatives who collaborated with Hamas & the PFLP were apprehended.
The ‘Addameer Charity Association’ is funded by terror funds and provides legal assistance to PFLP terrorists held in prison. The “Islamic Association for the Care of Orphans” transferred funds to Hamas and supported the families of terrorists & prisoners. The association’s director and other senior officials are Hamas terrorists who have also been imprisoned in the past.

Any negotiations to end Russia’s war against Ukraine must include the withdrawal of Russian troops from Belarus.
This cannot be left for later. Otherwise, Russia will keep its military foothold in our country and use our territory to threaten Ukraine and all of Europe again. https://t.co/SEUMZQWGcT
