Angkatan Pertahanan Israel Akan Terima Tetamu Sandera pada Hari Ahad dengan Treler Kem yang Dilengkapi dan Bekalan Keselesaan

January 19, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Angkatan Pertahanan Israel, dengan kerjasama Kementerian Kesihatan, kementerian kerajaan tambahan dan pihak berkuasa keselamatan, telah menyiapkan persediaan akhir pada hari Sabtu untuk menerima kumpulan pertama tebusan yang ditawan oleh Hamas dari Semenanjung Gaza pada hari Ahad.Persediaan termasuk keadaan seperti di rumah di dalam treler untuk tebusan berehat sebelum mereka dibawa ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan dan keselesaan seperti di rumah, termasuk bakul barang mandian dan pakaian baru.Di dalam treler, tebusan akan mempunyai sofa dan tumbuhan pasu sebagai hiasan. Di luar, mereka boleh duduk di perabot patio luar yang dihiasi dengan bantal besar berwarna-warni.Lokasi penerima juga mempunyai bekalan perubatan yang diperlukan.Dari situ, tebusan akan dibawa ke hospital, di mana mereka akan disatukan semula dengan keluarga mereka.IDF menyatakan ia meminta "kesabaran dan sensitiviti" daripada orang ramai semasa tebusan kembali."Kami meminta semua orang untuk menghormati privasi tebusan dan keluarga mereka," kata IDF. "Orang ramai hanya diminta untuk merujuk kepada maklumat dan pengumuman rasmi dan menahan diri daripada berkongsi maklumat yang tidak disahkan."Tebusan telah ditahan oleh Hamas selama hampir 500 hari sejak serangan Hamas yang tidak provokasi ke atas Israel pada 7 Oktober 2023.Tiga tebusan dijangka dibebaskan terlebih dahulu pada hari Ahad selepas perjanjian gencatan senjata dicapai antara Israel dan Hamas pada hari Rabu.Tebusan pertama yang dibebaskan dijangka adalah wanita.Keseluruhannya, 33 tebusan akan dibebaskan, termasuk dua rakyat Amerika. Lebih 1,000 tahanan Palestin akan dipulangkan oleh pihak Israel.Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu berkata pada hari Sabtu bahawa Israel tidak akan meneruskan dengan garis besar perjanjian itu sehingga ia menerima senarai tebusan yang akan dibebaskan. Itu dipersetujui selepas nama-nama itu tidak sampai dari Qatar seperti yang dijangkakan pada hari Sabtu."Israel tidak akan bertolak ansur dengan pelanggaran perjanjian," katanya. "Tanggungjawab sepenuhnya terletak pada Hamas."Dalam… peperangan, kami menjelaskan kepada musuh-musuh kami — kami menjelaskan kepada seluruh dunia — bahawa apabila rakyat Israel bersatu, tiada kuasa yang dapat menghancurkan kami."Setakat ini, kami telah membawa pulang 157 orang yang diculik, iaitu 117 orang masih hidup. Dalam perjanjian yang kini diluluskan, kami akan membawa pulang 33 lagi saudara dan saudari kita, kebanyakannya masih hidup."Beliau juga memberi penghargaan kepada kerana membantu mencapai perjanjian gencatan senjata."Sebaik sahaja beliau dipilih, Presiden Trump menyertai misi membebaskan tebusan," kata Netanyahu. "Beliau bercakap dengan saya pada malam Rabu. Beliau mengalu-alukan perjanjian itu, dan beliau dengan tepat menekankan bahawa langkah pertama perjanjian itu ialah gencatan senjata sementara. Itulah yang beliau katakan, 'gencatan senjata sementara.’"Netanyahu berkata Biden dan Trump "memberikan sokongan penuh kepada hak Israel untuk kembali berperang jika Israel membuat kesimpulan bahawa rundingan Fasa B adalah sia-sia." berkata beliau menghargai keputusan Trump untuk "menyingkirkan semua sekatan yang tinggal ke atas bekalan senjata dan persenjataan penting kepada Negara Israel."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Meneroka sejarah Greenland yang hebat ketika Presiden terpilih Trump memberi tumpuan kepada negara pulau itu “`

January 18, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Sebelum mendapat perhatian, Greenland telahpun berada di radar industri kapal persiaran dengan banyak kapal memilih pekan-pekan indah di Greenland sebagai pelabuhan persinggahan mereka.Salah satu pelabuhan ialah Qaqortoq, pekan terbesar di selatan Greenland.Belayar dari Iceland, kapal itu mengikuti jejak Eric the Red, seorang Norse yang menetap di kawasan ini pada tahun 982. Oleh kerana Eric diasingkan dari Iceland, dia menjadikan tempat ini sebagai rumahnya dan menamakannya Greenland.Kira-kira 80% pulau itu diliputi oleh lapisan ais dan bahagian-bahagian yang lain juga tidak kelihatan begitu hijau.Menurut beberapa ahli sejarah, Eric the Red mencipta nama itu semata-mata untuk tujuan promosi.Dia cuba menarik lebih ramai orang dan mengiklankan pulau itu sebagai tanah hijau. Sesetengah pakar mengatakan bahawa Greenland mungkin lebih panas pada masa itu, tetapi bermula pada abad ke-15, ia mengalami apa yang dikenali sebagai "Zaman Ais Kecil".Kehidupan di Greenland menjadi terlalu teruk bagi orang Eropah. Tetapi penduduk asli pulau itu menjumpai cara untuk bertahan.Terletak di tengah-tengah sistem fjord yang indah, dengan anak sungai yang mengalir merentasi pekan, dan puncak gunung yang diseliputi salji walaupun pada musim bunga, Qaqortoq adalah tempat yang menarik untuk diterokai.Membina lebuh raya di Greenland adalah mahal, oleh itu Qaqortoq tidak disambungkan melalui jalan raya ke mana-mana pekan atau kampung yang lain. Walau bagaimanapun, apabila cuaca lebih panas, kawasan ini menawarkan banyak peluang untuk mendaki, berkayak dan memancing.Pekan ini diasaskan pada tahun 1775, sebagai jajahan perdagangan, oleh peneroka Norway Anders Olsen. Dengan penduduk seramai lebih sedikit daripada 3,000 orang, ia menawarkan gambaran kehidupan Greenland, sejarah Viking dan seni bina yang diilhamkan oleh Nordic.Bukit-bukit itu dipenuhi dengan rumah-rumah berwarna-warni, mewujudkan kontras yang menarik dengan puncak-puncak yang teruk di fjord sekitarnya.Greenland ialah wilayah autonomi Kerajaan Denmark, tetapi bahasa rasminya ialah bahasa Greenland. Ia adalah bahasa polisintetik yang bermaksud, secara teknikalnya, tiada had kepada panjang perkataan Greenland.Menerjemahkan tanda-tanda tempatan boleh menjadi menyeronokkan dan mencabar pada masa yang sama.Walaupun pokok tidak mudah dijumpai, kawasan ini penuh dengan pelbagai jenis batu dan bongkah batu. Sesetengah daripada batu tersebut telah diukir menjadi wajah dan ikan paus, sebagai penghormatan yang dipanggil "Stone & Man". Galeri terbuka ini adalah hasil karya artis tempatan Qaqortoq, Aka Høegh.Qaqortoq mempunyai air pancut tertua di negara ini - Mindebrønden - Air Pancut Memorial. Air pancut itu siap dibina pada tahun 1932 dan ditutup pada musim sejuk.Pasar ikan pekan ini menjual apa sahaja yang ditangkap pada hari tersebut oleh nelayan tempatan. Ia boleh jadi ikan, atau daging ikan paus, atau mungkin anjing laut.Qaqortoq, bagaimanapun, ialah pekan nelayan dan makanan laut memainkan peranan penting dalam diet Greenland.Agama rasmi ialah Lutheran Evangelis. Di pelabuhan persinggahan yang lain, sebuah kampung bernama Nanortalik, ahli-ahli jemaah tempatan mengalu-alukan pelancong dengan persembahan muzik.Nanortalik bermaksud "Tempat Beruang Kutub". Walau bagaimanapun, tiada beruang dilihat berkeliaran di sekitar kampung itu.Greenland ialah pulau terbesar di dunia - satu pengalaman menarik bagi mana-mana pelancong yang cukup berani untuk meneroka ke sana.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Ini adalah gencatan senjata kedua yang dicapai semasa perang. menyetujui perjanjian itu awal pagi Sabtu untuk gencatan senjata di Gaza yang akan termasuk pembebasan puluhan tebusan dan menghentikan perang dengan Hamas yang bermula selepas serangan kumpulan pengganas itu pada 7 Oktober 2023 terhadap Negara Yahudi.Perjanjian itu akan membenarkan 33 tebusan dibebaskan dalam tempoh enam minggu akan datang, sebagai pertukaran untuk ratusan rakyat Palestin yang dipenjara oleh Israel. Tebusan yang selebihnya akan dibebaskan dalam fasa kedua yang akan dirundingkan semasa fasa pertama.IDF telah bersiap sedia untuk menerima tebusan selepas pembebasan mereka daripada tahanan Hamas dan beroperasi untuk menyediakan sokongan fizikal dan psikologi yang sesuai, dengan memberi perhatian yang teliti kepada setiap butiran.Bersama-sama dengan perjanjian dan komitmen kami untuk membawa pulang semua tebusan, IDF akan terus beroperasi untuk memastikan keselamatan semua rakyat Israel, terutamanya mereka yang berada di komuniti berhampiran Semenanjung Gaza.Hamas menyatakan bahawa mereka tidak akan membebaskan tebusan yang selebihnya tanpa gencatan senjata yang berpanjangan dan pengunduran penuh Israel.Tetapi persoalan masih berbaki mengenai gencatan senjata, termasuk identiti 33 tebusan yang akan dibebaskan semasa fasa pertama selama enam minggu dan siapakah di antara mereka yang masih hidup.Hamas bersetuju untuk membebaskan tiga tebusan wanita pada hari pertama perjanjian, empat pada hari ketujuh dan selebihnya 26 dalam tempoh lima minggu akan datang.Kementerian Kehakiman Israel telah mengeluarkan senarai lebih daripada 700 tahanan Palestin yang akan dibebaskan dalam fasa pertama perjanjian.

Hampir 100 tebusan masih ditawan di Gaza.Lebih daripada 46,000 rakyat Palestin telah terkorban akibat serangan Israel, menurut pegawai kesihatan tempatan kerajaan yang dikawal Hamas, yang tidak membezakan antara awam dan pengganas.'

Apa yang perlu diketahui tentang tebusan dan perjanjian gencatan senjata antara Israel dan Hamas yang dijangka bermula Ahad “`

January 18, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Kerajaan Israel telah memuktamadkan perjanjian gencatan senjata dan pembebasan tebusan bersejarah dengan Hamas, menandakan satu langkah penting dalam perang sejak 7 Oktober 2023. Diluluskan oleh kabinet keselamatan dan kabinet Israel, perjanjian itu akan berkuat kuasa pada hari Ahad, dengan tiga tebusan pertama dijangka dibebaskan. Perjanjian ini menyusuli rundingan intensif selama beberapa minggu yang diuruskan oleh Amerika Syarikat, Qatar dan Mesir.Perdana Menteri Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, memuji Presiden AS Biden dan Presiden terpilih Trump atas peranan mereka dalam memajukan rundingan. Netanyahu mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Biden atas komitmennya dan memuji penegasan Trump bahawa Gaza tidak seharusnya sekali lagi menjadi "tempat perlindungan keganasan".Trump, dalam temu bual podcast, mendakwa penglibatannya mempercepatkan proses itu, dengan berkata, "Kami telah mengubah jalannya, dan kami mengubahnya dengan pantas."Di bawah perjanjian itu, Hamas akan membebaskan 33 tebusan dalam fasa pertama, termasuk wanita, kanak-kanak, lelaki tua dan individu yang mempunyai keperluan perubatan kritikal. Antaranya ialah Rumi Gonen, 24 tahun, yang diculik dari festival muzik Nova, dan Shiri Bibas bersama dua anak lelakinya yang masih kecil, Ariel dan bayi Kfir. Keluarga telah dimaklumkan tentang pembebasan awal, manakala butiran fasa berikutnya akan dikongsi 24 jam sebelum pelaksanaan.Daripada tiga tebusan, hanya dua — Keith Siegel dan Sagui Dekel-Chen — yang termasuk dalam fasa pertama. Isteri Sagui melahirkan anak ketiga mereka ketika dia ditawan. Edan Alexander, seorang askar Israel-Amerika, tidak tersenarai.Richard Goldberg, penasihat kanan di FDD dan bekas pegawai NSC Trump, memberitahu pada minggu lepas bahawa Alexander tidak dimasukkan dalam senarai awal "akan menjadi satu kesilapan strategik yang besar".Sebagai balasan, Israel akan membebaskan ratusan tahanan keselamatan Palestin, termasuk kanak-kanak, wanita dan individu yang mempunyai masalah kesihatan. Antara tahanan terkenal termasuk Nawal Abd Fattah, 24 tahun, yang disabitkan kesalahan cuba menikam seorang lelaki Israel pada tahun 2020, dan Ibrahim Zmar, 15 tahun, yang terlibat dalam kejadian tembakan di Jerusalem pada tahun 2023. Mereka yang disabitkan kesalahan melakukan serangan pengganas utama dikecualikan daripada perjanjian ini.Perjanjian itu menetapkan bahawa tahanan yang dibebaskan tidak boleh ditangkap semula atas tuduhan yang sama dan tidak diwajibkan menandatangani sebarang deklarasi semasa pembebasan mereka. Setiap tebusan wanita atau kanak-kanak sepadan dengan pembebasan 30 tahanan Palestin, manakala pembebasan askar memerlukan 30 hukuman penjara seumur hidup dan 20 hukuman penjara jangka panjang.Perjanjian itu juga memudahkan bantuan kemanusiaan, membenarkan 600 trak bekalan memasuki Gaza setiap hari. Menjelang hari ke-22, penduduk Gaza yang terlantar akan dibenarkan kembali ke kawasan utara, dengan pemeriksaan keselamatan hanya terhad kepada kenderaan di bawah pengawasan Qatar-Mesir. Tentera Israel akan mengurangkan kehadirannya di kawasan tertentu sambil mengekalkan kawalan ke atas laluan utama.Jadual pembebasan bermula dengan tiga tebusan pada hari pertama, diikuti oleh empat pada hari ketujuh. Sepanjang lima minggu berikutnya, kumpulan tiga tebusan akan dibebaskan setiap minggu sehingga hari ke-35. Antara hari ke-35 dan ke-42, 12 tebusan lagi akan dibebaskan, termasuk tahanan yang ditahan lama termasuk Avera Mengistu, yang telah ditahan di Gaza selama sedekad, dan Hisham al-Sayed, seorang individu yang sakit mental yang menyeberang ke Gaza sendiri dan telah ditahan di sana sejak sebelum 7 Oktober.Rundingan untuk fasa kedua akan bermula pada hari ke-16 fasa pertama, yang memberi tumpuan kepada pembebasan lelaki muda dan askar serta pemulangan mayat. Fasa ini akan bermula pada hari ke-43, berlangsung selama 42 hari, dengan perbincangan menangani baki tawanan."Apabila fasa kedua bermula, akan ada pertukaran untuk baki tebusan yang masih hidup, termasuk askar lelaki, dan semua pasukan Israel yang masih ada akan ditarik balik dari Gaza, menjadikan gencatan senjata sementara itu tetap," nyatakan semasa sidang akhbar pada hari Rabu. Beliau juga menyatakan bahawa fasa ketiga akan melibatkan pemulangan mayat tebusan yang terbunuh dalam tahanan dan memulakan pelan pembinaan semula yang komprehensif untuk Gaza.Netanyahu, sebaliknya, bercakap semasa mesyuarat kabinet, menekankan bahawa dalam perbincangannya dengan Presiden Biden dan , satu perkara dinyatakan dengan jelas: Jika rundingan untuk fasa kedua perjanjian gagal, Israel akan menyambung semula operasi ketenteraan.Dalam mesyuarat kerajaan, Netanyahu mengulangi mesej itu, sambil menambah, "Presiden Trump membuat keputusan bahawa setelah beliau memegang jawatan, kita akan mendapat semula semua senjata yang telah dibekukan. Ini penting kerana jika kita tidak mencapai peringkat B, kita akan mempunyai alat tambahan untuk kembali berperang. Beliau [Presiden Trump] memberikan sokongan penuh untuk kembali berperang sekiranya perjanjian itu dilanggar."Bagi keluarga tebusan, perjanjian itu mewakili harapan dan kesedihan. Ronen dan Orna Neutra, yang dibunuh oleh Hamas dan mayatnya masih berada di Gaza, menggelarkan perjanjian itu sebagai pahit manis."Ini adalah saat yang sukar. Sebaliknya, kami gembira dan teruja untuk keluarga yang diharapkan dapat melihat orang tersayang mereka setelah sekian lama," kata Orna Neutra kepada ."Kami benar-benar berharap pentadbiran baharu ini dapat membawa perjanjian itu ke peringkat akhir dan akan mempunyai semua keagungan untuk menekan pihak-pihak yang berbeza di rantau ini untuk menunaikannya. Kami percaya kepada Presiden Trump bahawa, anda tahu, ini penting baginya dan bahawa dia akan memastikan bahawa ini berlaku."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pakar keselamatan Israel berhujah perjanjian dengan Hamas ‘buruk’, tetapi ‘tiada cara lain’ untuk membebaskan tebusan “`

January 18, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Berita yang disambut dengan kelegaan antarabangsa pada hari Jumaat kerana ia berpotensi membawa kepada kepulangan semua tebusan yang masih ditahan dalam keadaan yang tidak berperikemanusiaan, dan juga menamatkan kempen keganasan selama 15 bulan di Gaza.Fasa pertama gencatan senjata dan perjanjian pertukaran tebusan selama 42 hari akan bermula pada hari Ahad, apabila tiga daripada 33 tebusan yang dijadualkan dibebaskan akan dipulangkan ke Israel.Pertukaran mayat dan tebusan yang masih hidup akan dirundingkan pada hari ke-16 gencatan senjata. Walau bagaimanapun, kepulangan tebusan tersebut tidak akan bermula sehingga hari ke-43 perjanjian, menandakan fasa kedua gencatan senjata.Tetapi ahli keluarga tebusan yang masih berada di Gaza belum sepenuhnya bergembira, dan ramai yang melihat perkembangan ini dengan optimis yang berhati-hati, sementara yang lain-lain pula…"Kami telah berurusan dengan perjanjian ini selama lebih setahun, dan kedua-dua pihak cuba mencapai perjanjian terbaik untuk diri mereka sendiri," kata Jeneral Mejar Bersara Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF), Yaakov Amidror, dalam perbincangan dengan wartawan Khamis petang.Amidror menjelaskan bahawa tidak ada cara untuk mencapai penyelesaian yang sempurna, memandangkan kerumitan yang amat besar dan keperluan untuk mengimbangi nilai nyawa manusia dengan mencapai matlamat keselamatan strategik."Inilah perjanjiannya. Ia adalah perjanjian yang buruk. Tetapi ia adalah satu-satunya cara untuk kita mendapatkan 33 tebusan," katanya. "Dan saya fikir, dari segi moral, ia perlu dilakukan."Amidror menunjuk kepada bantahan yang telah dikemukakan terhadap perjanjian itu oleh mereka yang berpendapat bahawa fasa pertama sepatutnya termasuk setiap tebusan yang ditahan oleh Hamas, dan juga oleh mereka yang berpendapat bahawa ia…Sebahagian daripada perjanjian gencatan senjata dilaporkan termasuk pelan yang akan menyebabkan Israel menarik balik pasukannya di seluruh jalur Gaza ke perimeter keselamatan yang mengelilingi komuniti Israel di sempadan Gaza.Butiran mengenai pengunduran IDF masih belum jelas setakat ini, terutamanya berkaitan dengan fasa-fasa perjanjian dan koridor keselamatan khusus di seluruh Jalur Gaza, walaupun The Times of Israel melaporkan minggu ini bahawa… sehingga tebusan terakhir dibebaskan."Israel kehilangan keupayaan untuk memusnahkan Hamas sepenuhnya," kata Amidror. "Israel kehilangan keupayaan untuk meneruskan momentum, dan apa yang akan berlaku selepas 42 hari, tiada siapa yang tahu."Jeneral Mejar Bersara itu menyatakan bahawa memandangkan terma perjanjian itu tidak didedahkan kepada umum, tidak jelas apakah perjanjian keselamatan yang telah dibuat oleh Israel dengan Amerika Syarikat berhubung dengan Iran dan ancaman berterusan yang ditimbulkan oleh Hamas – walaupun kehilangan kira-kira 80% keupayaan ketenteraannya dengan anggaran sekurang-kurangnya 20,000 militan terkorban – dalam berpotensi berkumpul semula di Gaza.Memandangkan kebimbangan ini, ahli politik sayap kanan Israel minggu ini dilaporkan mengancam untuk meletakkan jawatan jika Israel bersetuju dengan perjanjian yang dirundingkan itu."Ramai orang tidak menyukainya, kerana jelas bahawa Israel kehilangan keupayaan untuk memusnahkan Hamas, seperti yang telah kami janjikan," kata Amidror. "Tetapi kami mendapati diri kami dalam situasi yang merupakan satu-satunya cara untuk membawa pulang tebusan."Amidror menjelaskan bahawa ia menjadi jelas bahawa sebaik sahaja pasukan Israel membuat kemajuan di kawasan berhampiran tempat tebusan ditahan, mereka…"Kami faham bahawa tiada cara ketenteraan untuk mendapatkan mereka. Dan kami terpaksa membuat keputusan, keputusan yang sangat sukar – adakah kami melepaskan nyawa tebusan, atau kami membuat perjanjian?"John Hannah, bekas Penasihat Keselamatan Negara kepada Dick Cheney dan JINSA Randi & Charles Wax Senior Fellow, berkata ia adalah "keputusan yang sukar, amat menyakitkan, tetapi satu keputusan yang perlu dibuat oleh rakyat Israel."Hannah berkata bahawa walaupun keputusan itu "amat memecah belah," tinjauan menunjukkan bahawa majoriti rakyat Israel menyokong kepulangan tebusan berbanding dengan memusnahkan Hamas sepenuhnya."Hamas akan dapat mendakwa bahawa ia terselamat," kata Hannah. "Israel akan mencapai salah satu objektif perang utamanya, insya-Allah, dengan kepulangan tebusan, tetapi dengan kos… [pemusnahan] Hamas, baik dari segi ketenteraan mahupun pemerintahannya.""Perjanjian terbaik ialah perjanjian yang tidak dicapai," kata Amidror. "Inilah perjanjiannya.""Tiada cara lain untuk membebaskan tebusan, dan dari dalam masyarakat Israel, itu adalah sangat penting," kata Jeneral Mejar Bersara itu. "Israel adalah sebuah demokrasi, kerajaan harus mendengar apa yang dikatakan oleh rakyat."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing begins WRC title bid with a legendary challenge JCN Newswire

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing begins WRC title bid with a legendary challenge

January 18, 2025
TOKYO, Jan 17, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will embark on a 2025 FIA World Rally Championship campaign full of new challenges when the classic season opener, Rallye Monte-Carlo, takes place on January 23-26.2025 GR YARIS Rally1The oldest and most famous rally on the calendar provides a familiar start to this year’s extended 14-round schedule, which includes brand-new WRC events in the Canary Islands, Paraguay and Saudi Arabia.There are also significant changes to the technical playing field for 2025. The top category of Rally1 cars will no longer use plug-in hybrid units following a regulation change. As a result, the minimum weight has been lowered from 1260 to 1180 kilograms and the air restrictor size reduced from 36 to 35 millimetres to help maintain a similar power-to-weight ratio to before. Meanwhile, Hankook becomes the sole tyre supplier for the WRC’s top categories for the first time.There has also been a tweak to the sporting regulations. Points will once more be allocated based upon the overall positions at the end of the rally, with a win to again be worth 25 points. The Super Sunday classification on the final day now offers up to five bonus points, as does the rally-ending Power Stage.While just eight weeks have passed since TGR-WRT claimed the manufacturers’ title in a thrilling conclusion to the 2024 season at Rally Japan, the team has been working hard to adapt to these changes and continue improving the GR YARIS Rally1, which continues to run on 100 percent sustainable fossil-free fuel. To reflect the different characteristics required of the engine now that the boost provided by the hybrid unit is no longer available, modifications have been made to the exhaust system and camshafts, while gear ratios have also been reviewed among other measures to optimise the package.The team also fields a strengthened and expanded driver line-up this season, running as many as five GR YARIS Rally1 cars on many events including Rallye Monte-Carlo.Double world champions Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen return to full-time competition alongside Elfyn Evans and his co-driver Scott Martin, the 2024 championship runners-up. Sébastien Ogier will target a record-extending 10th victory on the Monte – which is based in his hometown of Gap in the French Alps – as he begins another partial campaign alongside co-driver Vincent Landais. These three crews are nominated to compete for manufacturers’ points for TGR-WRT on round one, ably supported by Takamoto Katsuta and navigator Aaron Johnston in a fourth entry.Sami Pajari, the 2024 WRC2 champion, begins his first full season in the top category, for which he has reunited with experienced co-driver Marko Salminen. To best support his development while following a similar path to that previously forged by Katsuta, Pajari’s GR YARIS Rally1 is entered under a second team, TGR-WRT2, which will also add to the competition in the manufacturers’ championship. The car features a half-and-half white and black livery which represents the team’s commitment to offering opportunities for young drivers to reach the highest level in WRC.Oliver Solberg, who fought Pajari for the WRC2 crown, switches to a GR Yaris Rally2 car run and entered by Printsport for his 2025 title bid and has the chance to gain familiarity with the car on Rallye Monte-Carlo before his seven-round WRC2 campaign begins. Also driving the GR Yaris Rally2 are TGR WRC Challenge Program drivers Hikaru Kogure and Yuki Yamamoto on their Monte-Carlo debuts, gathering new experience ahead of their second seasons in WRC2.Known for its often-changeable weather conditions which can bring ice and snow to the asphalt roads, Rallye Monte-Carlo will as usual start and finish in Monaco’s Casino Square. Departing on Thursday afternoon, crews will then tackle three opening stages in darkness on the way back to the Gap service park. On Friday, a loop of three stages east and north of Gap is run either side of mid-day service. Saturday follows a similar format with three repeated tests to the west, including the all-new Aucelon – Recoubeau-Jansac stage. Sunday’s final leg begins from Gap, repeating two of Thursday evening’s stages ahead of the Power Stage, which takes in the iconic Col de Turini.For more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/release/2025/rd01-preview/.

Mahkamah Pakistan jatuhkan hukuman penjara 14 dan 7 tahun kepada bekas PM Imran Khan dan isterinya dalam kes rasuah “` Berita

Mahkamah Pakistan jatuhkan hukuman penjara 14 dan 7 tahun kepada bekas PM Imran Khan dan isterinya dalam kes rasuah “`

January 17, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Mahkamah Pakistan pada hari Jumaat telah menjatuhkan hukuman penjara 14 tahun kepada bekas Perdana Menteri negara itu, Imran Khan, dan tujuh tahun kepada isterinya setelah mendapati mereka bersalah atas rasuah, kata pegawai dan peguamnya.Ini merupakan satu lagi tamparan hebat buat bekas perdana menteri yang telah berada di sebalik penjara sejak tahun 2023.Pasangan itu dituduh menerima hadiah tanah daripada seorang taipan perniagaan sebagai balasan wang yang dibasuh ketika Khan berkuasa.Pendakwa raya mengatakan bahawa ahli perniagaan itu, Malik Riaz, kemudiannya dibenarkan oleh Khan untuk membayar denda yang dikenakan ke atasnya dalam kes lain daripada wang yang dibasuh sebanyak 190 juta pound British ($240 juta) yang dikembalikan ke Pakistan oleh pihak berkuasa British pada tahun 2022 untuk disimpan di dalam akaun kerajaan.Khan menafikan sebarang kesalahan dan menegaskan sejak penahanannya pada tahun 2023 bahawa semua tuduhan terhadapnya adalah satu komplot oleh pesaing untuk menghalangnya daripada kembali berkuasa.Menurut pasukan guaman Khan, Khan ketawa dan isterinya, Bushra Bibi, tersenyum ketika hakim Nasir Javed membacakan keputusan itu.Kemudian, Khan dan Bibi telah ditahan oleh pegawai penjara selepas pengumuman keputusan itu, menurut pegawai. Beliau sebelum ini telah menjalani hukuman penjara dalam kes rasuah lain sehingga dibebaskan dengan jaminan oleh mahkamah pada bulan Oktober. Beliau baru-baru ini mengetuai perhimpunan untuk menuntut pembebasan suaminya.Kemudian, satu catatan daripada akaun Khan di platform X menggesa penyokongnya untuk tidak panik terhadap keputusan itu, di mana Universiti al-Qadir yang dibina oleh badan amal isterinya juga akan diambil alih oleh pihak berkuasa di "Saya tidak akan pernah menerima pemerintahan diktator ini dan saya akan kekal dalam sel penjara selagi saya perlu dalam perjuangan menentang pemerintahan diktator ini, tetapi saya tidak akan berkompromi dengan prinsip saya dan perjuangan untuk kebebasan sejati negara," tulis Khan. Keluarga Khan telah menyatakan bahawa catatan tersebut dikongsi dengan kebenarannya.Faisal Chaudhry, seorang peguam pembela, berkata keputusan mahkamah itu boleh dicabar di mahkamah atasan.Tidak lama selepas pengumuman keputusan itu, ahli-ahli parlimen daripada parti Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Khan telah mengadakan perhimpunan di luar parlimen di dengan menyatakan bahawa bekas perdana menteri telah dihukum secara salah."Ini adalah kes palsu, dan kami akan menghubungi mahkamah rayuan terhadap keputusan ini," kata Omar Ayub Khan, seorang pemimpin kanan parti yang tidak mempunyai hubungan kekeluargaan dengan bekas perdana menteri.Imran Khan telah disingkirkan dalam undi tidak percaya di parlimen pada April 2022, sebelum ini telah disabitkan dengan tuduhan rasuah, mendedahkan rahsia rasmi dan melanggar undang-undang perkahwinan dalam tiga keputusan berasingan dan dijatuhi hukuman penjara 10, 14 dan tujuh tahun masing-masing. Di bawah undang-undang Pakistan, beliau perlu menjalani hukuman tersebut serentak — bermakna, tempoh hukuman yang paling panjang.Sesetengah penyokong Khan juga berada di luar penjara Adiala di bandar Rawalpindi, dan mereka melaungkan slogan menentang kerajaan, menuntut pembebasan pemimpin mereka.Pada hari Khamis, Menteri Maklumat Attaullah Tarar memberitahu wartawan di Islamabad bahawa terdapat "bukti yang tidak dapat dinafikan" terhadap Khan dan isterinya dalam "skandal mega rasuah." Tarar berkata bahawa Khan bahkan tidak memberitahu ahli-ahli Kabinetnya sendiri tentang wang yang telah dikembalikan ke Pakistan Tarar juga mendakwa bahawa Khan telah membina sebuah rumah baru yang luas di bandar timur Lahore selepas memberi manfaat kepada taipan perniagaan itu, dan bahawa beliau tidak dapat membuktikan dari mana beliau mendapat wang untuk membinanya.Perkembangan terkini ini berlaku sehari selepas parti PTI Khan mengadakan rundingan penting dengan wakil-wakil kerajaan Perdana Menteri Shehbaz Sharif untuk menuntut pembebasan semua tahanan politik, termasuk Khan dan pemimpin-pemimpin parti yang lain.Sharif menjadi perdana menteri selepas pilihan raya Februari 2024, yang didakwa oleh PTI sebagai dicurangi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sementara Iran sedang berusaha untuk menjadi hab bagi gas Rusia, tiada tanda-tanda bahawa kedua-dua negara telah mencapai kemajuan yang besar dalam projek tersebut, tambah Bloomberg.Penasihat keselamatan negara Jake Sullivan baru-baru ini mendakwa bahawa pentadbiran Biden meninggalkan Rusia, China dan Iran "lebih lemah" menjelang kepulangan Trump ke Washington, walaupun Kremlin membuat langkahnya sendiri di pentas dunia.Di tengah-tengah sekatan daripada AS dan sekutunya, dengan negara-negara anti-Barat lain, seperti Iran dan Korea Utara. Malah, hubungan Rusia dan Iran telah berkembang sejak pencerobohan Putin ke Ukraine, yang membawa kepada peperangan selama bertahun-tahun.Utusan khas Presiden terpilih Trump untuk Ukraine dan Rusia, telah menggesa AS untuk kembali kepada dasar "tekanan maksimum" terhadap Iran."Bagi Amerika Syarikat, dasar tekanan maksimum mesti dipulihkan, dan ia mesti dipulihkan dengan bantuan seluruh dunia, dan itu termasuk berdiri bersama rakyat Iran dan aspirasi mereka untuk demokrasi," kata Kellogg pada satu acara yang ditaja oleh kumpulan pembangkang Iran, Majlis Kebangsaan Rintangan Iran, di Paris.Kellogg juga menggesa AS untuk berdiri bersama rakyat Iran menentang rejim di Teheran.Walaupun kebimbangan AS dan sekutunya mengenai perjanjian itu, Menteri Luar Rusia Sergei Lavrov berkata perjanjian perkongsian itu tidak seharusnya menjadi punca kebimbangan."Perjanjian ini, seperti perjanjian kami dengan Korea Utara, tidak ditujukan kepada sesiapa pun," kata Lavrov, menurut .Pada bulan Jun, Putin bertemu dengan pemimpin tertinggi Korea Utara Kim Jong Un di Pyongyang, di mana kedua-duanya menandatangani perjanjian bantuan yang menjadikan kedua-dua negara lebih rapat daripada sebelumnya sejak kejatuhan Kesatuan Soviet.

Mahkamah Brazil Tolak Permohonan Bolsonaro untuk Perjalanan ke Majlis Perasmian Trump “` Berita

Mahkamah Brazil Tolak Permohonan Bolsonaro untuk Perjalanan ke Majlis Perasmian Trump “`

January 17, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Mahkamah Brazil pada hari Khamis menolak permohonan bekas Presiden Jair Bolsonaro untuk mengembalikan pasportnya buat sementara waktu supaya beliau dapat menghadiri upacara angkat sumpah Presiden Amerika Syarikat terpilih, Donald Trump di Washington minggu depan.Hakim Alexandre de Moraes, yang sering digelar musuh peribadi oleh Bolsonaro, berkata dalam keputusan itu bahawa Bolsonaro ketika ini tidak memegang jawatan yang membolehkannya mewakili Brazil di acara tersebut dan bekas presiden itu tidak membuktikan kepada mahkamah bahawa beliau telah dijemput.Bolsonaro, yang sedang disiasat dalam beberapa siasatan meluas termasuk cubaan untuk kekal berkuasa walaupun tewas dalam pilihan raya, pasportnya dirampas oleh polis persekutuan pada Februari lalu kerana dianggap sebagai risiko melarikan diri. Dia menafikan tuduhan terhadapnya.Bolsonaro bertindak balas terhadap keputusan itu pada hari Khamis di X dengan menuduh sistem kehakiman Brazil melakukan penganiayaan politik terhadapnya, membandingkan keadaannya dengan kes-kes undang-undang di Amerika Syarikat. Beliau berkata bahawa Trump "mengatasi aktivisme kehakiman. Saya juga akan mengatasinya."Bekas presiden Brazil itu telah meminta kebenaran untuk meninggalkan negara itu dari 17 hingga 22 Januari untuk menghadiri majlis angkat sumpah pada 20 Januari dan satu majlis bola tarian perasmian Hispanik. Bolsonaro, seorang pengagum Trump yang lantang, berkata di saluran media sosialnya pada 8 Januari bahawa beliau "sangat gembira dengan jemputan ini.""Saya akan mewakili golongan konservatif, sayap kanan, yang baik, rakyat Brazil di sana di Amerika Syarikat, jika Tuhan mengizinkan," kata Bolsonaro.Apabila de Moraes meminta bukti jemputan kepada peguam Bolsonaro pada hari Sabtu, mereka mengemukakan surat jemputan yang ditandatangani oleh pengerusi bersama jawatankuasa angkat sumpah, Steve Witkoff dan Kelly Loeffler.Namun begitu, de Moraes berhujah bahawa Bolsonaro tidak membuktikan dengan secukupnya bahawa dia telah dijemput ke majlis angkat sumpah itu. Dalam keputusannya, de Moraes mengikut cadangan Pendakwa Raya Agung Paulo Gonet, yang berkata pada hari Rabu bahawa kepentingan peribadi Bolsonaro dalam perjalanan itu tidak mengatasi kepentingan awam untuk menghalangnya daripada melancong ke luar negara.De Moraes berkata Bolsonaro masih merupakan risiko melarikan diri dan menambah bahawa bekas presiden itu telah menggesa penyokongnya yang menghadapi masalah undang-undang dalam kes yang melibatkan kesetiaan politik mereka untuk meninggalkan negara itu dan mendapatkan suaka. Beratus-ratus penyokong Bolsonaro yang terlibat dalam rusuhan pada 8 Januari 2023 di ibu negara Brasilia telah meninggalkan Brazil untuk mengelakkan pendakwaan.tidak akan menghadiri majlis angkat sumpah Trump.Polis persekutuan merampas pasport Bolsonaro pada Februari 2024, semasa serbuan yang berkaitan dengan siasatan sama ada dia dan pegawai kanan merancang untuk mengabaikan keputusan pilihan raya 2022 dan mengadakan pemberontakan untuk mengekalkan pemimpin sayap kanan yang kalah itu dalam kuasa.Mahkamah Agung Brazil sebelum ini telah menolak permintaan Bolsonaro untuk mendapatkan semula pasportnya, pada Mac 2024, berikutan jemputan daripada Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.Pada November lalu, polis persekutuan secara rasmi menuduh Bolsonaro dan 36 orang lain, termasuk pegawai tentera kanan, cuba melakukan rampasan kuasa. Gonet, pendakwa raya agung, akan memutuskan sama ada untuk mendakwa Bolsonaro atau membuang siasatan itu.Pakar undang-undang percaya Bolsonaro boleh didakwa dan dibicarakan pada separuh kedua tahun 2025 di Mahkamah Agung kerana didakwa memalsukan status vaksinasi COVID-19nya. Penganalisis juga mengatakan terdapat kemungkinan munasabah bahawa dia akan dibicarakan sebelum 2026 kerana didakwa menggelapkan barang kemas yang dihadiahkan oleh pihak berkuasa Arab Saudi.Bekas presiden itu menafikan bahawa dia cuba untuk kekal berkuasa selepas kekalahannya yang tipis dalam pilihan raya 2022 kepada lawannya yang berhaluan kiri, Lula.Duta Besar Brazil ke Amerika Syarikat, Maria Luiza Viotti, akan menghadiri majlis angkat sumpah Trump, kerajaan memberitahu The Associated Press pada hari Khamis. Presiden Lula tidak dijemput secara rasmi ke majlis tersebut.Trump telah menjemput beberapa pemimpin global ke majlis angkat sumpahnya, termasuk Presiden China Xi Jinping dan Presiden Argentina Javier Milei.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pemimpin UK Starmer Meterai Perjanjian Perkongsian ‘100 Tahun’ dengan Ukraine Semasa Lawatan ke Kyiv “` Berita

Pemimpin UK Starmer Meterai Perjanjian Perkongsian ‘100 Tahun’ dengan Ukraine Semasa Lawatan ke Kyiv “`

January 17, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - telah menandatangani perjanjian perkongsian 100 tahun dengan Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy pada hari Khamis, sebagai sebahagian daripada demonstrasi sokongan Eropah dan janji untuk terus membantu Ukraine bertahan dalam perang hampir tiga tahun dengan Rusia.Pengumuman itu dibuat beberapa hari sebelum disumpah sebagai presiden Amerika Syarikat dengan keraguan terhadap beban ketenteraan Amerika di Eropah dan apa yang beliau katakan sebagai rancangan untuk menamatkan konflik terbesar di benua itu sejak Perang Dunia II."Kami bersama anda bukan sahaja hari ini atau esok, untuk tahun ini atau tahun depan, tetapi selama 100 tahun — lama selepas perang dahsyat ini berakhir dan Ukraine bebas dan makmur sekali lagi," kata Starmer kepada Zelenskyy semasa lawatan ke Kyiv, berjanji bahawa UK akan "memainkan peranan kita" dalam menjamin keselamatan pasca perang Ukraine.Starmer berkata perjanjian selama satu abad itu mengikat kedua-dua pihak untuk bekerjasama dalam pertahanan — terutamanya keselamatan maritim terhadap aktiviti Rusia di Laut Baltik, Laut Hitam dan Laut Azov — dan projek teknologi termasuk dron, yang telah menjadi senjata penting bagi kedua-dua pihak dalam perang. Perjanjian itu juga termasuk sistem untuk membantu menjejaki bijirin Ukraine yang dicuri yang dieksport oleh Rusia dari bahagian Ukraine yang diduduki.Penjajaran Ukraine dengan Barat, dan keahlian masa depan yang berpotensi dalam NATO, telah menimbulkan kemarahan , yang masih mahu mempengaruhi negara bebas itu.Semasa Starmer bertemu dengan Zelenskyy di istana presiden, serpihan daripada dron Rusia yang ditembak jatuh oleh pertahanan udara Ukraine jatuh di sekurang-kurangnya empat daerah Kyiv, menurut ketua pentadbiran bandar Tymur Tkachenko. Satu terletak berhampiran istana presiden Baroque di mana kedua-dua lelaki itu bertemu.Starmer berkata dron itu adalah "penanda ingatan" tentang apa yang dihadapi rakyat Ukraine dan tekad mereka.Lawatan Starmer yang tidak diumumkan itu adalah perjalanan pertamanya ke Ukraine sejak beliau memegang jawatan pada Julai, walaupun beliau berkata ia adalah pertemuan ketujuhnya dengan Zelenskyy.Ketua pertahanan Itali juga berada di Kyiv pada hari Khamis, dua hari selepas menteri pertahanan Jerman melawat dan tiga hari selepas Zelenskyy bercakap melalui telefon dengan Presiden Perancis Emmanuel Macron.Aktiviti diplomatik yang giat itu berlaku pada hari-hari menjelang perasmian Trump pada hari Isnin, yang dijangka akan membawa perubahan daripada ikrar pentadbiran AS yang keluar untuk berdiri bersama Ukraine selagi diperlukan untuk mengalahkan Rusia. Trump juga telah menunjukkan bahawa beliau mahu Eropah menanggung lebih banyak beban untuk membantu Ukraine.Sekutu Kyiv telah bergegas untuk membanjiri Ukraine dengan sokongan sebanyak mungkin sebelum perasmian Trump, dengan matlamat untuk meletakkan Ukraine dalam kedudukan terkuat untuk sebarang rundingan masa depan untuk menamatkan pencerobohan besar-besaran, yang bermula pada 24 Februari 2022.Rakyat Ukraine bimbang bahawa rancangan Trump akan menuntut konsesi yang tidak menyenangkan, seperti menyerahkan wilayah. Zelenskyy juga telah berkata bahawa beliau mahu jaminan keselamatan untuk menghalang Rusia daripada menyerang lagi pada masa hadapan."Kita mesti melihat bagaimana perang ini boleh berakhir, cara praktikal untuk mendapatkan keamanan yang adil dan berkekalan... yang menjamin keselamatan anda, kemerdekaan anda dan hak anda untuk memilih masa depan anda sendiri," kata Starmer pada sidang akhbar bersama.Zelenskyy berkata kedua-dua pemimpin telah membincangkan idea yang dikemukakan oleh Macron untuk tentera Barat memantau gencatan senjata masa depan, tetapi berkata ia "masih terlalu awal untuk bercakap tentang butiran."Starmer membuka ruang untuk penyertaan UK, memberitahu pemimpin Ukraine bahawa "kami akan bekerjasama dengan anda dan semua sekutu kami dalam langkah-langkah yang cukup kukuh untuk menjamin keselamatan Ukraine.""Perbualan itu akan berterusan selama beberapa bulan akan datang," kata Starmer.Zelenskyy sebelum ini membincangkan pasukan pengaman yang berpotensi dengan negara-negara Baltik, Perancis dan Poland. Tetapi beliau berkata ia hanya boleh menjadi sebahagian daripada penyelesaian keselamatan dan menyatakan bahawa "kita tidak mempertimbangkan jaminan keselamatan tanpa Amerika Syarikat."Starmer bersetuju bahawa peranan Washington di Ukraine adalah "penting." Amerika Syarikat adalah penyedia sokongan ketenteraan dan persenjataan canggih terbesar kepada negara itu."Kami akan terus bekerjasama dengan AS dalam hal ini," kata Starmer.Starmer berkata pada tahun 2025, UK akan memberikan Ukraine "sokongan ketenteraan lebih banyak daripada sebelumnya." Beliau berkata negaranya telah pun komited sebanyak 3 bilion pound (£3.6 bilion) untuk bantuan ketenteraan tahun ini, termasuk 150 laras meriam lagi dan sistem pertahanan udara mudah alih rekaan UK bernama Gravehawk. UK telah menjanjikan 12.8 bilion pound (£15.6 bilion) dalam bantuan ketenteraan dan awam sejak perang bermula.Semasa lawatan sepanjang hari itu, Starmer dan Zelenskyy meletakkan bunga di dinding peringatan untuk mereka yang terkorban dalam perang. Dinding di luar Biara Kubah Emas St. Michael, mercu tanda Kyiv, dipenuhi dengan gambar mereka yang terbunuh, membentang sejauh satu blok bandar. Ia telah menjadi tempat ziarah bagi keluarga yang memberi penghormatan kepada orang tersayang mereka yang telah meninggal dunia.Starmer juga melawat sebuah hospital Kyiv yang pakar dalam rawatan luka bakar dan pameran teknologi dron.Apabila perang yang meletihkan itu hampir mencecah tanda tiga tahun, Rusia dan Ukraine kedua-duanya berusaha untuk mendapatkan keuntungan medan perang sebelum rundingan damai yang mungkin. Ukraine telah memulakan serangan kedua di wilayah Kursk Rusia, di mana ia sedang bergelut untuk memegang sebahagian wilayah yang ditawannya tahun lepas, dan telah meningkatkan serangan dron dan peluru berpandu ke tapak senjata dan depot bahan api di dalam Rusia.Moscow perlahan-lahan mengambil wilayah dengan kos kematian yang tinggi di sepanjang garis hadapan sepanjang 600 batu (1,000 kilometer) di timur Ukraine dan melancarkan serangan hebat ke atas sistem tenaga Ukraine, cuba untuk menafikan rakyat Ukraine daripada haba dan cahaya di tengah musim sejuk. Serangan peluru berpandu balistik dan jelajah utama Rusia ke atas wilayah di seluruh Ukraine pada hari Rabu telah memaksa pihak berkuasa untuk menutup grid kuasa di beberapa kawasan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kirby ‘yakin’ rakyat Amerika di Gaza akan dibebaskan Ahad tengah laporan perjanjian Israel, Hamas tertangguh “`

January 17, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Penasihat komunikasi keselamatan negara Rumah Putih, John Kirby, berkata pada Khamis pagi bahawa beliau "yakin" bahawa ia masih boleh "dilaksanakan" pada hari Ahad sementara keluarga dua rakyat Amerika yang dijadualkan untuk dibebaskan segera menunggu jawapan."Ada perjanjian," kata Kirby kepada George Stephanopoulos ABC. "Kami yakin bahawa kami akan dapat mula melaksanakannya pada hari Ahad. Terdapat beberapa butiran pelaksanaan yang masih perlu diselesaikan. Kami sedang bekerjasama dengan pihak Israel mengenai perkara ini dengan sangat gigih sekarang."Tetapi kami yakin bahawa kami akan sampai ke situ," tambahnya.Kekeliruan sama ada perjanjian telah berjaya dicapai – seperti yang telah disahkan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan Qatar pada hari Rabu – meletus selepas Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu pada hari Khamis mendakwa Hamas "mencipta krisis saat akhir yang menghalang penyelesaian.""Hamas menarik diri daripada persefahaman eksplisit yang dipersetujui dengan pihak pengantara dan Israel dalam percubaan ugutan saat akhir," dakwanya, menurut kenyataan yang dikongsi oleh agensi berita Israel TPS-IL.Hamas menafikan tuduhan kerajaan Israel.Netanyahu menangguhkan perbicangan kabinet yang sepatutnya ditetapkan pada Khamis pagi untuk mengundi perjanjian itu sehingga "pihak pengantara mengumumkan bahawa Hamas telah meluluskan semua butiran perjanjian itu."Tetapi Kirby kelihatan bertekad untuk menjelaskan bahawa perjanjian itu tidak runtuh dan memberitahu MSNBC, "Ia tidak runtuh."Juga memberitahu NBC "Kami sedar akan isu-isu yang telah dibangkitkan oleh perdana menteri… Kami yakin bahawa kami akan dapat menyelesaikan isu-isu saat akhir ini dan melancarkannya."Kira-kira 33 tebusan telah dijadualkan untuk dibebaskan dalam fasa pertama perjanjian yang akan mengutamakan rakyat Amerika. Fasa awal akan berlangsung selama 42 hari dengan tebusan dibebaskan secara berperingkat, termasuk tiga tawanan yang akan dibebaskan pada hari pertama perjanjian itu dilaksanakan.Beberapa laporan mencadangkan bahawa tiga askar wanita Israel mungkin dibebaskan pada hari pertama perjanjian itu.Walaupun seorang pegawai kanan pentadbiran pada hari Rabu memberitahu Associated Press, serta wartawan lain, bahawa dua daripada tiga rakyat Amerika yang masih hidup di Gaza dijadualkan untuk dibebaskan pada hari pertama."Kita akan lihat – dan saya tidak mahu berkata sehingga kita benar-benar melihat mereka – tetapi Keith Siegel dan Sagui Dekel-Chen akan keluar pada hari pertama dan Edan akan keluar dari Gaza, tiada keraguan mengenainya," kata pegawai itu.Edan Alexander ialah seorang warga Amerika-Israel berusia 21 tahun yang berkhidmat dalam Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) pada hari serangan 7 Oktober 2023, walaupun askar tidak dijadualkan untuk dibebaskan sehingga fasa kedua, yang akan bermula pada hari ke-43 gencatan senjata.Butiran pembebasan tebusan yang selebihnya, sama ada mati atau hidup, akan mula dirundingkan pada hari ke-16 fasa pertama.Sekurang-kurangnya 98 tebusan terus ditahan di Gaza, 94 daripadanya ditangkap pada 7 Oktober 2023. Manakala 62 daripada mereka dipercayai masih hidup, 36 dinilai telah meninggal dunia."Kami komited untuk mendapatkan semua rakyat Amerika. Ini adalah warga Amerika-Israel, semuanya keluar dari Gaza," kata pegawai itu. "Sama ada hidup atau mayat. Itulah komitmen kami."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

By reducing airborne pollutants and dust particles, rooftop plants further enhance solar panel performance.Alfredo Papadakis, CEO of The Now Corporation, states, "Our Solar Greenhouses are designed to meet the demand for year-round, high-quality vegetation while maximizing return on investment for our customers. With integrated Aquaponics systems, these greenhouses optimize yield within limited spaces-whether atop commercial rooftops or standalone in water-scarce environments. They remain entirely powered by solar energy, reducing utility costs and generating continuous growth opportunities for users."Community Impact and VisionThe project also aligns with Green Rain Solar's commitment to social responsibility. By transforming underutilized urban spaces into solar-powered greenhouses, the company addresses the lack of access to locally sourced, fresh, and organically grown produce in inner cities. These sustainable farms will serve as a vital resource, improving public health and well-being in urban areas.Papadakis added: "We are thrilled to redefine urban farming with a sustainable solution that meets energy and food production needs. This initiative represents a significant step toward achieving a dual benefit for our communities-providing clean energy and fresh produce while addressing critical challenges in high-energy-cost urban areas."Green Rain Solar Inc. remains focused on innovative solutions to maximize efficiency and sustainability for urban environments. The company invites shareholders and stakeholders to join this journey of transformation and innovation.About Green Rain Solar Inc.Green Rain Solar Inc., a subsidiary of The Now Corporation (OTC:NWPN), is a solar energy utility company specializing in urban solar energy and grid integration.
