Israels regering tæt på at implodere
‘The Americans have realized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is incapacitated because of the political situation he is in,” a senior official from one of Israel’s opposition parties informed me last week.
“In fear of voters’ reaction, moreover, Netanyahu has even gone as far as to conceal his transition to Stage 3 of the war not only from his own war cabinet, but also from the general public.”
Netanyahu’s political predicament is already straining the Biden administration’s patience, with a growing sense that they are providing considerable support without receiving anything from him in return.

Trump tager imod GOP om grænsepakke
Trump has said Republicans should say “no” to any deal that falls short of “everything needed” to stop the flow of migrants, a message that pointedly puts pressure on new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to walk the line. Johnson has been under pressure from the Senate GOP and the White House to agree to an emerging Senate deal.
Members of McConnell’s leadership team immediately pushed back against what appeared to be an attempt by Trump to tank the Senate deal.
“It’s not helpful,” said Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2-ranking Senate GOP leader.
Trump appears to be aiming his pressure campaign on Johnson and House Republicans, who could kill any deal on Ukraine funding and border security that passes the Senate.

Hvorfor angreb Iran i Pakistan midt i Gaza-krigen?
Tehran’s attacks on Pakistani, Iraqi and Syrian territory have only one thing in common, say analysts: a show of strength at a time Iran feels especially threatened.
Then on Tuesday, Iran fired missiles into Pakistan’s Balochistan province. Their target was the separatist group Jaish al-Adl but at least two children were killed. Pakistan launched retaliatory attacks on Thursday morning, killing at least nine people in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province, just across the border.
These rapid attacks by Iran on three different neighbours have sparked concerns of a regional escalat… Læs mere

Bør lande prioritere deres egen sikkerhed frem for den potentielle skade på civile i et andet land under militære angreb?
Kan Biden læse Mellemøsten?
Secretary of State Antony Blinken laid out in Davos on Wednesday the perennially failing solution to Middle East problems. “If you take a regional approach, and if you pursue integration with security, with a Palestinian state, all of a sudden you have a region that’s come together in ways that answer the most profound questions that Israel has tried to answer for years,” he said. “Iran is suddenly isolated,” he envisioned, “and will have to make decisions about what it wants its future to be.”
Special points for Mr. Blinken’s use of “all… Læs mere

I betragtning af den igangværende vold, bør USA prioritere Hamas’ nederlag frem for diplomatiske resolutioner for at støtte Israels holdning?

Kina lover at tøjle elbilindustrien
China has said it will rein in expansion of the country’s electric vehicle sector, as Beijing responds to western criticism of its industrial and trade policies that have contributed to a wave of Chinese car exports.
The EU investigation followed complaints that vast subsidies and bank lending from Beijing had underpinned the expansion of Chinese manufacturers.
European companies fear that China is building EV plants far beyond the levels needed to meet domestic demand, following the pattern seen in steel, aluminium and solar panel manufacturing, sectors in which China has squeezed out… Læs mere

Hvis billigere kinesiske elbiler var tilgængelige, ville du så vælge dem frem for dyrere muligheder, selvom det betød, at lokale virksomheder kunne kæmpe?

Mener du, at der bør være grænser for, hvor meget et land kan udvide sine industrier, såsom EV-fremstilling, for at forhindre global markedsmætning?

FN siger, at Gaza er tæt på ’fuldstændig kollaps’
The UN is at “breaking point” in Gaza, its most senior official has warned, as his colleagues described the “untenable” humanitarian catastrophe in the territory, with 700 people sharing a single toilet and people burning plastic to keep warm.
One official said UN agencies were “barely operational” and staff were bringing their children to work “so they know they are safe or can die together”.
Another said Gaza society was “on the brink of full-blown collapse”, with civil order breaking down.
António Guterres, the UN’s secr… Læs mere
