⚡Japan loosened arms export controls Friday, for the first time in nearly a decade, a move that would enable the US ally to sell domestically made Patriot missile defence systems to Washington. Japan strictly controls the export of arms under its pacifist constitution, which limits its military capacity to ostensibly defensive measures. “The appropriate transfer of defence equipment overseas will contribute to … international peace and security, and will also strengthen cooperation with allies and the US in security fields,” a government document said after the rule was approved by the Cabinet on Friday. Sales of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC3) system to the United States would be Japan’s first export of lethal arms since the end of World War II, local media have reported. With the new rule, Japan “will be able to export arms which were domestically produced under licence of a foreign company to the licensing country”, a national security official in the prime minister’s cabinet told AFP prior to the Cabinet approval. 1 Like |

⚡Brnabic: Foreign observers are lying and destabilizing Serbia The Prime Minister of Serbia has denied accusations of massive violations in the recent early parliamentary elections. Ana Brnabic said that 109 fewer objections and 3 fewer appeals were submitted to the Republican Electoral Commission than for the April 2022 elections. At the same time, only one complaint was recorded at the Belgrade City Election Commission. Therefore, the opposition has nothing to complain about, and its actions are an open attempt to destabilize the situation. Also, the head of the Cabinet ruled out the possibility of voting for 40 thousand people from Republika Srpska, since they are not on the voter lists. Earlier, the opposition said that they were brought to the capital by buses. “We provided information that on that day, 20,360 people crossed the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, a significant part of whom did not have Serbian citizenship, including a large number of children,” she said. Brnabic also accused European observers of lying because they did not raise any objections in the polling station protocols. |

⚡Netyanahu: "We fight until victory. We will not stop the war until we complete all its goals, the completion of the elimination of Hamas, and the release of all our hostages. The choice I offer to Hamas is very simple, surrender or die. They don't have and won't have any other choice. After we eliminate Hamas, I will work with all my might to ensure that Gaza no longer poses any threat to Israel. Neither Hamas nor Fatahstan."
