    Human Rights Watch: Gaza Aid Distribution System Is Faulty

    Human Rights Watch accuses ‌Israeli regime of war crimes in Gaza Strip.

    according ‍to the English section of webangah News‌ Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Shehab News⁣ Agency, Human Rights Watch has accused ⁣the Israeli regime of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip. ⁢The organization stated⁤ that the killing of Palestinians ⁤waiting in line for food aid is a clear example of such crimes.

    The organization said the Israeli military, wiht U.S. support and contractor ​cooperation, has created a flawed‌ and ⁢ineffective military system ‌for distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza that repeatedly turns into scenes of bloodshed instead ‍of easing conditions.

    Human Rights Watch emphasized that the current ⁤catastrophic humanitarian situation results directly ​from Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon‍ against civilians during ​wartime. The group also considered israel’s ‌continued denial of vital aid ​to Gazans as constituting ⁣crimes against ​humanity ‍and genocide.

    The report called on the international community to step up pressure on Israel⁤ to end​ all​ illegal and⁣ comprehensive restrictions⁢ on humanitarian aid access into Gaza.

    Human Rights Watch​ further demanded that both the ⁢United ⁤States ‌and Israel immediately suspend this defective aid distribution system to protect civilian lives.

  • Trump’s Dream Realized in El Salvador’s Congress!

    Trump’s Dream Realized in El Salvador’s Congress!

    El⁤ Salvador’s‍ Congress Abolishes Presidential Term Limits by Amending Constitution

    According to ‍teh English section of webangah ‍News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency ⁣and France 24, El Salvador’s Congress approved constitutional reforms that eliminate presidential term limits.

    The party led by President Nayib Bukele,which holds a majority in the national Assembly,also agreed to extend ‌the presidential term from five to ⁢six years.

    Congresswoman Ana Figueroa from the “New Ideas” ‍party introduced⁣ these reforms​ in five ⁤points. With their solid ⁤majority, her party and its allies‍ immediately voted in favor. The amendments passed​ with 57 votes for and only three⁢ against.

    Last year, despite constitutional​ prohibitions, Bukele ⁢won re-election by a large margin. This‌ was ‍made possible after El Salvador’s ⁤Supreme Court-whose ‍judges where‍ appointed by his party-authorized his second candidacy⁢ in 2021 for another five-year term.

    Figueroa also proposed ending Bukele’s current presidency ⁢on June ‍1,2027 rather of June 1,2029. This ​adjustment will⁢ synchronize presidential ⁣and legislative elections⁣ while allowing⁣ Bukele to seek a longer term two years earlier.

    Bukele has been ⁤president since 2019 and ⁤remains a polarizing figure. His aggressive approach against⁤ crime has earned widespread voter approval; however, human rights groups claim ⁣thousands ‍have been arbitrarily detained under ⁤his administration.

    Marcela Viatoro,a lawmaker from ​the opposition National Republican⁢ Alliance⁣ (ARENA),condemned the new ‌law​ saying: “Today democracy is dead in El Salvador!”

    The United States’ former ⁤president Donald Trump-now 79-had jokingly suggested during his 2024 campaign that he might run⁢ for a third term himself. In last⁢ November’s victory speech he sarcastically remarked that “maybe we‌ need to change the constitution a little!”

    Trump recently reached an agreement​ with El⁣ Salvador on‍ migrant expulsions from the US.The so-called “safe third country” deal‍ allows US immigration​ authorities to deport non-Salvadoran migrants ⁤there. Under this agreement, ⁣members of Venezuela’s criminal group Tren de Aragua-which Trump ⁤labeled as an “foreign terrorist institution”-have been sent back to‌ El Salvador.
