According to webangah news Agency, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned⁢ the punk-rap group Bob Vylan for chanting anti-Zionist slogans‍ during their performance at the​ Glastonbury⁤ Festival.

The group reportedly encouraged attendees on Saturday to shout “Death to⁢ the Israeli army” (referring to the IDF).

Starmer told The telegraph: “There​ is ‌no justification for these⁢ kinds of vile, hateful remarks.” He⁢ added,”I’ve said before that groups like ‍ Kneecap shouldn’t ⁢be given platforms – this applies to all artists who incite violence or ‌make threats.”

The UK⁣ Prime Minister had previously expressed concerns about Irish ⁢rap group Kneecap, known for their pro-Palestinian activism.

The criticism comes as western ⁣officials often frame attacks on Muslims adn‌ Palestine supporters as free speech, while any criticism of the Zionist regime faces immediate ​backlash.Earlier, German police – like other European allies of Tel ⁤Aviv – cracked down on Gaza​ war protesters in support of Zionists.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a ​decree on Sunday withdrawing from the ​ Ottawa Convention, which bans the production ⁣and use of anti-personnel mines, ⁤according to webangah News ⁤Agency.⁢ he described the move as a necessary response ​to Russia’s tactics in their ongoing ‌40-month war.

Ukraine had originally ratified this convention in 2005.‌ Other Russian-border nations including ⁤Finland, Poland,⁣ and⁣ the three ⁣Baltic states (Estonia, latvia, Lithuania) have either​ withdrawn or announced intentions to leave this treaty.

In his⁤ nightly ⁣address, Zelenskyy stressed that Russia never joined this convention and has extensively ​used these weapons throughout ​the conflict.

Zelenskyy stated, “This is the signature of Russian killers: destroying lives by any means possible. We ⁤see‍ how our European neighbors are responding to this threat.”

The Ukrainian president acknowledged the complexities​ of wartime decision-making but emphasized ⁢that Kyiv had taken this political step to demonstrate priorities to international‌ partners. “This issue concerns all‌ countries bordering Russia,” he added.

According to Zelenskyy, ​anti-personnel mines frequently enough serve ⁤as irreplaceable defensive tools. However, Russia‌ has deployed them extensively ⁤across‌ occupied Ukrainian territories. Kyiv considers mine clearance a critical component of postwar reconstruction‍ efforts.

According to ​ webangah News Agency, French President Emmanuel ⁤macron, a staunch supporter of Ukraine in its war with russia, has‍ drawn domestic criticism for his interventionist rhetoric about perhaps entering the conflict.

On Saturday,thousands of anti-war demonstrators flooded Paris streets to condemn Macron’s hawkish⁣ policies toward the Ukraine crisis.

Protesters chanted anti-war slogans during the rally, with many declaring: “Macron – we refuse to fight‌ your war!”

The demonstrations followed Macron’s recent ‌remarks about potentially⁣ deploying French troops to Ukrainian territory.

According to webangah ‌News Agency, Russia’s Ambassador to⁤ Norway, Nikolai Kurchunov, told ⁣RIA Novosti ⁢that Norwegian authorities seek to expand NATO’s military presence and⁤ intensify the alliance’s⁤ drills in the country, including near border⁤ regions‌ with Russia.

The ambassador emphasized that such measures do not ‌strengthen Norway’s security, adding there are⁣ currently‌ no effective confidence-building measures or military communication channels between ⁤Russia and NATO.

He reiterated Moscow’s consistent position favoring diplomatic channels to​ resolve disputes.

According to webangah News ‌Agency, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on Sunday‌ that Ukraine’s potential accession to NATO​ would be akin to “fanning the flames” of conflict.

Orbán emphasized:‍ “Ukraine joining NATO is pouring gasoline on the fire of tensions.”

The Prime Minister further warned: “Accepting Ukraine into NATO would escalate tensions dramatically – this would mean war with Russia and could lead​ to World ‌War⁢ III.”

He stressed that Europe must not allow itself⁢ to become a battlefield⁤ through such ‌approaches.

According to webangah News Agency,Kaja Kallas,the European Union’s ⁢High Representative ⁤for Foreign Affairs,responded on social ​media to Iran’s suspension of cooperation with‌ the International Atomic Energy Agency​ (IAEA) following a controversial report by Director General Rafael Grossi.

In a‍ post on X (formerly Twitter), Kallas wrote: “Full support for the IAEA‌ and its Director⁤ General Rafael Grossi ‍in carrying out his responsibilities to continue impartial monitoring of Iran’s nuclear program. This⁣ is key to diplomatic ⁣resolution.”

The IAEA had submitted a confidential report on May 31, reiterating ‍claims about Iran’s accumulation ​of uranium enriched​ to “weapons-grade” levels⁢ and calling for Tehran’s full cooperation. The report coincided with sensitive ⁣negotiations between Tehran and Washington regarding ​Iran’s nuclear program. It alleged that as of ⁢May⁢ 17, Iran‌ had enriched ⁢408.6 kg of uranium ⁢up to 60% purity-an increase of 133.8 ‌kg ⁢since the agency’s February report.

The contentious report led to an ‌anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA Board ‌of Governors meeting,‍ which critics argue paved ‌the way for U.S. and Israeli aggression against Iranian nuclear facilities.

on ⁣June‌ 25, during a public‌ session, Iran’s⁢ Parliament ⁤voted overwhelmingly (210 in favor, 2 against, 2 abstentions out of 219 present)⁢ in support of⁤ suspending cooperation ⁢with⁣ the IAEA following a National Security‍ Committee recommendation.

Reacting to these developments on June 28,⁤ Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas⁤ Araghchi stated on X​ that Parliament’s decision was “the direct result of Rafael Grossi’s‍ deplorable role,” adding: “Grossi’s ​biased actions directly enabled both ⁢this politically motivated resolution ⁤against Iran‍ at ‌the Board and ‌Israel/U.S.’ illegal attacks on our nuclear sites.”

According⁤ to webangah News Agency, Kyiv authorities state that Russia ‌carried out its most extensive aerial assault on Ukraine overnight.

Ukraine’s Air⁢ Force reported that Russia fired a total of 537 projectiles, including 477 drones and 60 missiles, toward Ukrainian territory. Of ‌these, 249 were shot down while radio signal jamming diverted another 226.

Yurii⁤ Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s ⁣Air Force, told Associated ‍Press‌ the nighttime attack was “Russia’s widest airstrike to ‍date,”‌ targeting areas “across Ukraine, including western regions far from frontline positions.”

In westernmost Lviv region, Russian drone strikes ignited an industrial complex​ in Drohobych city and caused power outages across multiple districts.

Poland’s Air ⁤force confirmed deploying fighter jets today alongside Ukraine’s allies ‍to safeguard ​Warsaw’s airspace security.

The renewed Moscow offensive follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s friday statement about ⁣readiness for new ‍direct negotiations wiht Ukrainian counterparts ‌in Istanbul. ⁣However, the conflict shows​ no signs of ‌abating‍ despite ⁣claimed American mediation efforts. The two latest Russia-ukraine talks in Turkey concluded briefly without progress toward ending‌ the three-year war.

According to webangah News Agency,Serbian police clashed with protesters demanding early elections ⁤and an end to Aleksandar Vučić’s 12-year presidency,resulting in dozens of arrests.

Last⁢ night’s protests in Serbia followed nearly ⁣eight months of sustained student-led demonstrations that have shaken Vučić’s grip on power ​in the Balkan nation.

Belgrade Police Chief Dragan Vasiljević confirmed ⁢at a press conference that officers used tear gas to disperse crowds and⁣ made multiple ‍arrests during the clashes.

Six police officers were injured in the clashes, according‌ to reports. In an Instagram post, Vučić accused protesters ⁢of attempting to overthrow‌ Serbia’s government but failing in their ​efforts.

The demonstrations, which drew ​approximately 140,000 participants, rank among the largest student-led​ protests in ​recent history. The civil unrest began in December‌ last​ year⁤ following the collapse of a train station roof in Novi Sad that killed 16 people-an incident protesters⁢ attribute to government corruption and negligence in infrastructure ‍projects.

Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević resigned ‌under public pressure earlier this year, though President Aleksandar Vučić retains ⁢power.

According to webangah News Agency, French Foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated in an⁢ interview with the LCI network that France remains committed to recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state. This move will occur within the framework⁤ of joint⁢ efforts ⁢to establish conditions for Palestinian statehood.

Barrot also‌ referenced⁣ the killing of ‌500 ⁣Palestinians and‍ injuries to 4,000 others during humanitarian aid distribution in​ Gaza‍ last May.

The minister described Gaza’s aid distribution process as “shameful and​ degrading ‍to ‌human dignity.”

the statement comes despite France being one of Israel’s key supporters in both​ political and military spheres.

According to ⁣ webangah News agency, citing Al Jazeera and Mehr News Agency, the European Union strongly condemned the recent wave ‍of Zionist violence against Palestinians and called for accountability for extremist settlers’⁢ crimes.

The EU’s ⁣statement emphasized: The West Bank’s situation is accelerating toward devastation. Recent days ⁣have​ seen escalating violence⁣ by settlers, including killings, intimidation, and home demolitions across the territory.

The EU specifically noted: On Wednesday [date], four Palestinians were martyred in ⁤Kafr Malik. violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must cease immediately.

The ⁢German Foreign Ministry previously announced in this regard: ⁣”We strongly condemn the recent​ attack by settlers on‌ the ⁣Palestinian village of Kafr Malik. During this assault, over 100 settlers targeted⁢ residents, burning ⁣homes and ‌vehicles.”
