Unfounded accusations

A meeting between the US President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House became a spectacle on Wednesday when the US leader presented the delegation of Pretoria with a video that prescribes to show references to ongoing genocide against white farmers in South Africa.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the state's new expropriation law discriminates against white South Africans. The specified purpose of the law is to clear up the landing inequality from apartheid by freed Pretoria in limited circumstances for redistribution. From this point on, no country was expropriated according to the law.

The White House has also accused South Africa of the targeted violence and murders of mainly white farmers. In a tone reminiscent of Trump's Fateful Oval Office Showdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February, Trump Ambushed Ramaphosa with Heated Allegations, Including a More Than 4-Minute-Long Video Showing Inflammatory Statements Made by Firebrand South African Politician Julius Malema, A Member of Parliament and Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters Party, as well as other alleged evidence of genocide.

At one point during the meeting, Trump claimed that there were more than “1,000 graves” of white South African farmers in the country. Ramaphosa replied: “I would like to know where that is. Because that has never seen it.” South Africa claims that there is no evidence of widespread persecution or genocide against white Africans who appear in the country, and Trump could not provide any proven evidence for widespread murders.

During the meeting on Wednesday, the Ramaphosa's team team tried to attribute discussions to trade and investment opportunities. “We have too many deaths; it's not just white farmers,” said South African billionaire Johann Rupert and alluded to the country's high rate of crime. “It is all along the line and we need technological help. We need Starlink on every small police station. We need drones.”

The mention of Starlink called was probably a calculated choice. The CEO of the Tech company, Trump Advisor Elon Musk, comes from South Africa and was one of the loudest supporters of Trump's new hard line against Pretoria since the beginning of the second term of the US President. Musk was in the room during the Trump-Ramaphosa meeting.

The relationship between the USA and South Africa has achieved historical lows in recent months. Since taking office in January, Trump has reduced foreign aid to South Africa, designated his ambassador, announced strong tariffs for South African imports and boycotted the G-20 summit in Johannesburg in November. Last week, the United States also welcomed their first flight from White South Africans, who received a refugee status under the Trump administration by claiming that they were discriminated against at home.

The United States and South Africa have to “reset” their relationship, said Ramaphosa on Wednesday. He pointed out critical minerals, peace talks for Ukraine and the Middle East and global institutions as areas with potential cooperation.

Waiting for help in the Gaza. The authorities have not yet distributed help to Palestinians in Gaza, the United Nations announced on Wednesday, although Israel had partially lifted its blockade for humanitarian aid this week. According to Israeli officials, 93 trucks with food and medical devices went through the Kerem Shalom on Tuesday, which crossed in Gaza Strip. However, the UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said that Israel had not allowed auxiliary workers to bring these supplies to the UN warehouse.

“I renew my fully appeal to enable the entry of fair humanitarian aid and end the hostility. Experts warn that a continued blockade could lead to a famine for the around 2 million Palestinians living in the territory.

In the meantime, the Israeli armed forces fired “warning shots” on a foreign delegation that visited the city of Jenin in the city of Jenin on Wednesday. The group, which is consistent with diplomats from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Canada, was on an official mission to evaluate the humanitarian situation in the Jenin refugee camp when the Israeli military said that the group “deviates from the recognized route, and an area in which they were not authorized to be.”

“IDF soldiers who worked in the area have fired warning shots to dismantle them,” added the military. No injuries were reported. The Foreign Ministry of the Palestinian Authority described the incident as “deliberate and illegal action”, and the European officials quickly condemned the actions of Israel and demanded an account.

Top -class assassination. A senior advisor to the former Pro-Kremlin Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukowitsch was shot in front of a school in Madrid on Wednesday in which at least one of his children had taken part. The 51-year-old Andrii Portnov was known for the elaboration of laws that aimed at punishing anti-government demonstrators who were facing and finally repressed. He was initially accused of the Crimea annexation of Russia's annexation, although the case was dropped later, and he was the subject of US and European sanctions on alleged corruption in Kyiv.

It is unclear who killed Portnov. According to the local police, the attackers fled on foot after they shot Portnov in the head and body several times. However, his death is the youngest in a number of top-class assassination since the beginning of the Russia Ukraine war. Other most recent murders are the journalist Darya Dugina, who was the daughter of an influential Russian nationalist. Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky; and the Russian Lt. -General Igor Kirillov, who commanded Moscow's core and chemical arms.

Belutschistan bombing. On Wednesday, a suicide bomber aimed on the way to a military school in the Pakistani province of Belutschistan on the way to a military school that killed at least five people-imposed several children and more than 50 others. No group has yet taken on responsibility, but experts suspect that ethnic Baloch separatists may have been behind the attack, since the southwestern province was the epicenter of a long-standing uprising against Islamabad.

The Pakistani military described the bomb attacks “another cowardly and terrible attack” and accused the neighboring India, planned the attack and used “its proxies in Belutschistan” to carry it out. “The attack on a school bus of terrorists who is supported by India is clear evidence of its hostility to education in Beluchistan,” said Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Neu -Delhi did not make an immediate comment on the allegations. However, experts fear that Islamabad's claim could collapse the already fragile ceasefire that India and Pakistan at the beginning of this month could collapse in order to stop fatal cross -border attacks.

Not all press is a good press. The Japanese Minister of Agriculture Taku Eto resigned on Wednesday after he had joked that he had to “never buy rice” due to gifts from his followers. His comments triggered violent counter -reactions from Japanese citizens who have to deal with historically high food prices. Former Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has already been replaced. “I enter into this job with the way of thinking that I am essentially the minister responsible for rice,” said Koizumi.
