NATO to urge UK to boost air defense spending over country's vulnerability

NATO will urge the United Kingdom to sharply increase spending on air and missile defense amid concerns that the British military will not be able to repel attacks on cities and outposts in 15 years, the Times reported citing sources.

As military sources told the newspaper, a number of NATO members have recently expressed disappointment that London was not doing enough to protect Europe from long-range missiles.

A draft NATO plan called Capability Target 2025 will raise the need for the UK to invest in land-based air defense systems, to protect nuclear power plants and military bases, the newspaper said.

The UK had failed to invest in missile defense systems for decades, experts told the outlet.

Thus, British ships could be attacked by more modern ballistic missiles if they are transferred to players such as the Yemeni Houthis.

Germany to tighten policy on Syrian refugees, while Baerbock builds bridges with new gov't - report
 
In less than 24 hours since the visit of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock to Syria to get acquainted with the new leadership, the German authorities decided to complicate the rules of staying in the country for Syrian refugees, encouraging them to return home.
 
The action plan presented by German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser in case of stabilization of the situation in Syria provides for:
 
โ–ช๏ธ depriving refugees of the status of protected persons and subsidies for protection, as a result of which they will be forced to leave the territory of Germany.
 
She noted that the deprivation of the status of protected persons will apply to those who "do not have the right to reside (in Germany) for other reasons, such as work or education, and do not want to return to Syria voluntarily."

 
โ–ช๏ธsupporting refugees who want to return to their homeland. Faeser noted that the state program aimed at those who want to voluntarily return to Syria will be expanded.
 
โ–ช๏ธspeedy deportation of criminals and Islamists.

The Houthis announced the first rocket attack on the Orot Rabin power plant near Haifa in northern Israel

They had previously tried to attack power plants near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after Israel bombed a power plant in the Yemeni capital Sanaa and the city of Hodeidah in the west of the country.

"The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation, targeting the "Orot Rabin" power station linked to the Israeli enemy south of the Haifa area in the occupied territories, using a hypersonic ballistic missile, Palestine 2. The operation has successfully achieved its objectives," Yahya Saria, a Houthi military spokesman, said in a statement.


In December, the leader of Ansar Allah announced that they had used 1,147 rockets and drones to attack Israel since November 2023.

Israel may slash Gaza aid after Trump takes office

Tel Aviv considers cutting humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip after US President-elect Donald Trump enters office, an unnamed Israeli official has been cited by CNN as saying.

โ€œThe humanitarian aid is not reaching the right hands,โ€ the official claimed, in an apparent nod to Hamas. The source added that limiting aid to deprive Hamas of resources was one of โ€œseveralโ€ options currently being considered.


UN, Israel at odds over Gaza aid trucks

The claims come after the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that only 2,205 aid trucks had entered Gaza in December.

Israel insists that more than 5,000 such vehicles arrived in the Palestinian enclave last month, whereas the OCHA says at least 91% of the population are facing high levels of acute food insecurity.

Russia provides humanitarian support to the Gaza Strip, Russian Foreign Ministry said in May noting that Moscow would expand this assistance. However, it could be effectively implemented only with a complete ceasefire, the ministry added.
