The Israeli cabinet gave green-light to stop fights with Lebanese group Hezbollah yesterday: the deal starts working today and will last for two months. Benjamin Netanyahuʼs government needs to move its troops from south Lebanon (where about 4000 people died in past year) while Hezbollah should step back 20 miles from border
The US-French backed plan makes both sides follow strict rules; UN peace-keepers will watch the area. Netanyahu said before voting: “we must keep our right to hit back if needed.“ His far-right partners dont like the idea but Biden thinks its good for long-term peace
NATO leaders met in Brussels cause Russia showed-off its new super-fast missiles last week: they hit Ukraineʼs military spot in Dnipro. Russian forces move forward faster than ever since war started – they took over 90 square miles just this week. Vladimir Putin lowered his nuclear-use rules recently which made West very worried
The Pakistan army had to step-in to control big protests in Islamabad (where phones and internet dont work now). People want Imran Khan – their ex-leader whos in jail since last year – to be free. Current leader Shehbaz Sharif says its just bad politics; at least 6 people died in street fights
South Africaʼs EFF party went to top court to check if Cyril Ramaphosa broke rules when he didnt tell about 4 million dollars stolen from his farm few years back. They think parliament made mistake when it didnt look into this case properly
Lastly a funny news from Korea: court gave 1-year delayed jail time to guy who got too fat on purpose to skip army duty. He ate lots of food after his test in 2017 thinking extra weight would save him from 18-month service
