๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The key points from Peskovโ€™s briefing:

โ–ช๏ธRussia respects the choice of the people of Argentina where the presidential elections were recently held.

โ–ช๏ธMoscow stands for the development of relations with Argentina.

โ–ช๏ธThe Kremlin paid attention to a number of pre-election statements by the new President of Argentina, but will focus on his words after the inauguration.

โ–ช๏ธOn the possibility of Finland closing the checkpoint on the border with Russia: this is unlikely to affect relations; there is no dialogue.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‘ฑโ€โ™€๏ธ Female IDF surveillance soldiers decry โ€˜sexism,โ€™ claim commanders ignored warning of Hamas activity

Warnings sent up the chain of command about โ€˜heightened activityโ€™ displayed by Hamas before the 7 October attack had been disregarded because they had come from women, reported Haaretz.

An all-female unit of soldiers in the Border Defense Corps who monitor surveillance camera screens, known in Hebrew as tatzpitaniyot, had reportedly observed Hamas training to โ€œtake over an observation postโ€ for weeks.

โ€œThere is no doubt that if there were men sitting at those screens, things would look different,โ€ one soldier was cited as saying, adding: โ€œIf we had known about this warning, this whole disaster would have looked different.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ The situation in the Indonesian Hospital is extremely difficult: there is shooting in the vicinity of the hospital, Shehab Younis, a Palestinian journalist from the Gaza Strip, told Sputnik.

"Israeli forces are now attacking the Indonesian hospital. The surrounding area is being bombed, and horror and fear reign among the wounded and displaced inside this place. The bombing has not stopped for more than two hours, the IDF has not stopped shelling both the hospital itself and the area around it. The situation is getting worse.

First, the Israelis launched a direct airstrike on the hospital, then continued shelling. The shelling intensity is very high and is directed at civilians here. Both Israeli artillery and the IDF Air Force are attacking the hospital.

At the same time, the Israeli army began shelling the Al-Auda hospital: it is located next to the Indonesian one. The area in which both hospitals are located is under fire from literally everywhere.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Communicates with dead pet through medium and wants to cut bureaucracy with a chainsaw: Facts about Argentina's new president

โ–ช๏ธMilei is 52 years old, an economist by education, not married, no children, hasn't spoken to his parents in years because they were abusive to him as a child.

โ–ช๏ธHe calls his dogs his friends, all named after famous economists; he thanked his dogs for winning the primary.

โ–ช๏ธAn author of a book about Milei claims that the new president communicates with his dog, who died six years ago, through a โ€œpsychic vet,โ€ and that all of the president-elect's current dogs are clones of that dog.

โ–ช๏ธMilei is new to politics, before that he often appeared on TV and various events as an economist, putting on shows.

โ–ช๏ธAt one campaign event, he even appeared standing in a car and waving a chainsaw - a symbol of how he will end the "political caste" in the country and beat inflation.

โ–ช๏ธMilei is not against human organ sales, but opposes abortion and is willing to put the issue on the public agenda.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Yair Netanyahu, the eldest son of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, blamed the October 7 Hamas raid, which the Gaza-based Palestinian militant group called the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, on the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Shin Bet and the High Court.

In his Telegram posts Yair Netanyahu alleged that:

โ–ช๏ธ "the High Court changed the security arrangements and the instructions for opening fire on the border of the Gaza Strip";

โ–ช๏ธ The Shin Bet and the IDF persuaded Israeli politicians that "in order to preserve peace in the Gaza Strip โ€” economic operations for Gaza must continue";

โ–ช๏ธ Surveillance soldiers warned of Hamas activity on the Gaza Strip border months prior to the militant group's Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, but the reports were brushed aside by their commanders;

Yair Netanyahu, has been living in Miami, Florida, since at least April, and has come under heavy criticism in Israel for not joining the IDF amid the Gaza ground operation.
