Israeli police on Friday arrested Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Ekrima Sabri for mourning slain Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh, Anadolu Agency reported.

Haniyeh was assassinated on Wednesday in Tehran, Iran’s capital. While Hamas and Iran blamed Israel for the killing, Tel Aviv has not confirmed or denied its responsibility.

One of Sabri’s relatives told Anadolu that the Israeli police officers stormed into his home in the occupied East Jerusalem and arrested him.

Following the Friday prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sabri led a funeral prayer in absentia for Haniyeh.

The people of Jerusalem and the environs of Jerusalem from the pulpit of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque mourn the martyr Ismail Haniyeh,
 he said during his sermon.

Following the sermon, the Israeli police said they were probing whether the statement constituted 

incitement
 and that they would act accordingly.

The 85-year-old preacher was detained multiple times by the Israeli forces in the past and was banned from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem for several months.

Sabri is a staunch critic of the decades-long Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. He had previously held the position of mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories from 1994 to 2006.

    The problem with the “might makes right” ethos, is that what goes around comes around. (FAFO)

    Check out my take on the Maduro/Venezuela situation on today's Badlands News Brief.

    https://badlands.substack.com/p/badlands-news-brief-06e

    While writing a take on yesterday's story about the arrest of Glencore oil executive Alex Beard, I stumbled onto a direct connection to Maduro-- who has been engaged in a corruption purge of his government since 2017, when he received a "laptop from hell" that contained all the sauce on his officials being bribed by Glencore and others.

    Not only did Maduro hire a powerful lawyer (same guy who went after Prince Andrew on behalf of Virginia Giuffre, pro bono) to file civil suits against 40 Big Oil executives in March 2018, it appears that the material produced from the resulting investigation may have been used by the Trump DOJ to expand EO 13818 and seize assets of globalist oligarchs.

    It would seem that Maduro's civil lawsuit investigation may have also yielded materials that were used by UK authorities to arrest Alex Beard.

    Perhaps that explains why they launched the coup against Maduro?

  3. Fascinating...world energy need go nuclear route? Heard about fusion and thorium in passing, hence, looking into it to try to understand the situation.

    "The United Arab Emirates became the first Arab country to open a nuclear power plant on Saturday, raising concerns about the long-term consequences of introducing more nuclear programs to the Middle East.

    Two other countries in the region — Israel and Iran — already have nuclear capabilities. Israel has an unacknowledged nuclear weapons arsenal and Iran has a controversial uranium enrichment program that it insists is solely for peaceful purposes.

    The U.A.E., a tiny nation that has become a regional heavyweight and international business center, said it built the plant to decrease its reliance on the oil that has powered and enriched the country and its Gulf neighbors for decades. It said that once its four units were all running, the South Korean-designed plant would provide a quarter of the country’s electricity.

    Seeking to quiet fears that it was trying to build muscle to use against its regional rivals, it has insisted that it intends to use its nuclear program only for energy purposes.

    But with Iran in a standoff with Western powers over its nuclear program, Israel in the neighborhood and tensions high among Gulf countries, some analysts view the new plant — and any that may follow — as a security and environmental headache. Other Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, are also starting or planning nuclear energy programs."

    🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine and Russia exchanged the bodies of the deceased.

    250 Ukrainians and 38 Russian deceased soldiers were exchanged.

    The ratio hints at real losses …
