Three American soldiers killed and at least ‘two dozen’ injured in a drone attack on a US base in Jordan, on the border with Syria. “They were three patriots, their sacrifice will not be forgotten: we will hold all those responsible to account at the time and in the way we choose,” President Biden said.
The circumstances and origins of the blitz which aggravates tension in the Middle East are not yet clear, while in Paris there is talk of an agreement that seemed ‘close’ for a two-month truce in the bombings of Gaza and the release of all the hostages kidnapped on 7 October and still held captive by Hamas. The meeting is attended by the heads of the services of the United States, Israel, Qatar and Egypt.
Japan has also decided to temporarily suspend funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, following Israel’s accusations that some staff members participated in the October 7 attacks. Tokyo is the ninth country to suspend funds, as has been done – among others – by Germany, the United States and Italy.
