Greek Admiral's Bold Statements Stir Tensions with Albania

TBInfo First user · July 24, 2026 · Uncategorized Deklarata të forta dhe shqetësuese kanë ardhur nga nënadmirali grek në pension Vasilis Martzoukos, i cili në një intervistë televizive ka vënë në diskutim kufirin mes Shqipërisë dhe Greqisë, duke përdorur termin “de facto” në vend të “de jure”.https://infofirst.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AQNAShPUxl9LTUPypMt-epc7FwsbdnQeDLfBN7dsueGzE0DFnI23ssDVixdGL3HFjBnB6b_VhTgLbzWGXhPgNAaMQMY76w2sEAVs8bL6qw.mp4Sipas kritikëve, këto qëndrime përbëjnë një retorikë të rrezikshme që ringjall pretendime të vjetra ekspansioniste dhe cenon drejtpërdrejt sovranitetin e Shqipërisë. Deklaratat e tij për praninë e ardhshme të policisë dhe ushtrisë greke në jug të vendit kanë ngjallur reagime të forta, duke u konsideruar si një kërcënim i hapur ndaj sigurisë kombëtare dhe shqiptarëve kudo që jetojnë.

Why a Father's Heartbreaking Struggle in Gaza Is Capturing Attention New

Why a Father's Heartbreaking Struggle in Gaza Is Capturing Attention

Every father hopes for a better life for their children, but no parent foresees their child living in a warzone. Akram Qasem, a Palestinian father of eight, is living amid an array of makeshift tents with his wife, children and relatives. One tent houses 12 of them as dirty water flows through the Gaza encampments, exposing all living there to unsanitary conditions.With Gaza cut off from the outside world, there are very few ways of earning the money necessary to provide food and shelter.Abu and his 3-year-old daughter Waad.ABC NewsAkram told ABC News he is struggling to provide for his family. On top of the barriers to finding work, he needed to have his arm amputated after an injury due to an Israeli airstrike."After the announced ceasefire, life did not improve," Akram told ABC News. "This is the fate God wrote for me. I have become disabled. There is no income."The Gaza Strip has been largely destroyed by Israeli offensives since the war began after Hamas' surprise terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.Since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas passed in October 2025, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli attacks throughout Gaza have killed over 1,000 people."Hamas continues to violate the terms of the U.S. ceasefire," a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement to ABC News. "In accordance with the U.S. ceasefire, the IDF has the right to defend against these threats. The IDF targets terrorists and not civilians and takes precautionary measures before strikes."On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike on a family house in the Sabra neighbourhood killed a father, his wife and their four children, Reuters reported. The IDF confirmed the strike, claiming they were targeting a Hamas militant. Medical facilities have also become targets, Dr. Nour Sharaf, who flew from Texas to volunteer at Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital, told ABC News."Hospitals are supposed to be safe spaces," she said. "They're supposed to be somewhere where people go for healing." Working at the hospital after the U.S.-backed ceasefire passed, she told ABC News it has not made a difference for people locally, calling it "a political agenda."Al-Shifa is the largest medical complex in Gaza and has come under attack several times during the war, killing people inside the hospital. After each attack, Israel claimed they were targeting Hamas. Early in the conflict, the IDF alleged that Hamas placed its command centers under Al-Shifa.Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Al Shifa's director, told ABC News that only three of the eight buildings that existed in 2023 are left and less than half of all operating rooms are functional, making it difficult for people to receive the necessary care they need.The lack of resources and continued bombings mean Gaza's hospitals cannot save many patients with otherwise treatable conditions as unsanitary conditions continue to grow, Sharaf -- the doctor from Texas -- told ABC News.Waad Qasem was bitten on the nose by rat, her family said.ABC NewsIt's a problem Akram Qasem's 3-year-old daughter Waad faced after being bitten by a rat. Waad's mother, Samah Qasem, recalled that the moment it happened, while Waad slept between her parents at the camp.Popular Reads"Suddenly, I heard her screaming. I looked at her nose and saw the flesh torn open," she said.Waad was treated at the hospital, but the family can no longer afford the medication ointments necessary to help her heal. Sharaf told ABC News rodents are "a huge concern" in Gaza."They carry diseases that could be deadly," she said.U.N. workers also spray for mosquitoes that hover over the stagnant, dirty water that flows through the camp.Akram said he, Samah and Waad used to have a safe, stable home in Beit Hanoun, which is now a part of the land Israel controls.Satellite images showed that the Israeli military built a barrier that is equivalent to more than half the length of the Gaza Strip, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday. The Israeli military confirmed the barrier's existence to AP, saying it was built to protect their troops. When the ceasefire began, Israel controlled 53% of Gaza, but in recent months, it has expanded its control, Netanyahu said in a June press conference. He has said Israel aims to control 70% of Gaza, the AP reported."What is the fault of the Palestinian people? What crime have we committed?" Waad's mother, Samah, told ABC News.Waad, carrying a pot at a food distribution site.ABC NewsShe said her 3-year-old daughter struggles to access basic necessities. Instead, Waad runs out each day, with a pot the size of her head, in an attempt to get food. Their family is among an estimated 1.4 million in Gaza who rely on food handouts -- 67% of its population -- according to the U.N.-run World Food Programme.Each member of the Qasem family goes to different sites each day to increase their chances of getting food, they told ABC News. With an injured nose and only a few feet tall, Waad faces hungry crowds, and on the day ABC News was there, she did not get food until a producer intervened and a worker filled her pot out of compassion."Give us passports, give us a way out. We are not living. Let us live even half the life that people outside of Gaza are living," Akram told ABC News. "We are buried alive. Buried here in the Gaza Strip." Despite the destruction, he expressed hope that life for his children will one day return to normal, that they will be able to have a home and attend school, and not just run to get food as a means to survive amid war.

Karoline Leavitt Sparks Debate Over Saudi Nuclear Deal Conditions New

Karoline Leavitt Sparks Debate Over Saudi Nuclear Deal Conditions

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt provided an update on Thursday on President Donald Trump’s possible nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia.While speaking to reporters at the press briefing, Leavitt revealed that the deal was contingent on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.Leavitt read Trump’s Thursday morning Truth Social post about the contingency to reporters, that said in part, “The civil nuclear deal, there will be no enrichment of material, an important point being made between the Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.”Leavitt emphasized, “Yes, this deal with Saudi Arabia, the energy deal, is contingent on this condition, as far as the president is concerned.”NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez asked, “Why was that condition not mentioned yesterday when the Energy secretary announced it?”Advertisement “Look, the president is always the final deal maker, as you know, and this is something he has mentioned on numerous occasions going back. I can provide you with those statements, and he has said if they don’t join the Abraham Accords the deal is off. So we’ll continue to have those conversations with our Saudi counterparts moving forward,” Leavitt answered.“So, the deal is dead if Saudi Arabia doesn’t join in? And have you any indication that Saudi Arabia is even considering this?” Gutierrez followed up.“No, again, the president has spoken directly with the Saudis about this in numerous conversations in the past, and the administration will continue to engage in those conversations,” Leavitt maintained.Leavitt called on the next reporter, but Gutierrez pressed, “Will they be exempt from international inspections as part of this deal as it moves forward?”“I don’t want to comment on the specifics of the deal,” said a more agitated Leavitt. “As we’re still again, as I just said, talking, especially about this very important condition the president raised this morning.”Following questions about other topics, The Wall Street Journal’s Meridith McGraw asked, “Just to continue on the Saudi nuclear deal. Do the Saudis agree with this interpretation since it wasn’t part of the initial agreement? And has the president talked to MBS since the new condition?”“As you know, the president just put out this statement a few hours ago. I don’t believe he have has had a call with MBS in the hours since, however he raised this in previous conversations and has also said many times in the past,” Leavitt said.The next reporter asked, “In regards to this deal, in the past the Saudi government has said they will not consider entering into the Abraham Accords unless and until there is a Palestinian state. What makes you think that they will change their minds on their position regarding that?”“Again, I won’t get ahead of the president’s conversations, but this is something that he feels very strongly about and has spoken about in the past and will continue to uphold,” Leavitt repeated.“Just playing devil’s advocate, why does Saudi Arabia get a civilian nuclear deal Iran doesn’t get a civilian nuclear deal?” the reporter pressed.WATCH: My question to Karoline Leavitt on the Saudi nuclear deal ⬇️ https://t.co/4TGfefa2sF — Cameron Arcand (@cameron_arcand) July 23, 2026This comes as President Trump gave Iran multiple opportunities to avoid the current conflict with the United States months before it began.After the war started, the administration continued to reach out to the surviving regime in Tehran, offering one olive branch after another.But even after agreeing to a 60-day ceasefire in late June, the Iranians continued to attack commercial tankers and shipping, which then led to a new wave of strikes by the U.S., which is now in its ninth day.That said, Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted on Sunday that the United States remains open to diplomacy with Iran.Rubio said Sunday night that Iran had effectively ended a memorandum of understanding intended to keep the Strait of Hormuz open after Tehran attacked multiple commercial vessels, while emphasizing that the United States remains willing to pursue a diplomatic resolution.Speaking with reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for the Philippines for the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting, Rubio said Iran had been expected to reaffirm its commitment to keeping the strategic waterway open to commercial shipping and to cease attacks on vessels.When asked if the memorandum of understanding was truly dead, Rubio stated that Iran had already answered that question through its actions.“They’re not complying with it,” Rubio said.“The straits are supposed to be open, free of tolls, free of attack, free of all the things they’re doing against these ships,” he continued, per Fox News.Nevertheless, Rubio said the U.S. is still willing to sit down and discuss peace terms with the Iranians, but their behavior will have to change first.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Spain's Wildfires Trigger Mass Evacuations: What You Need to Know New

Spain's Wildfires Trigger Mass Evacuations: What You Need to Know

CHAPINERIA, Spain -- Spain’s government declared a national emergency Friday after wildfires forced the evacuation of some 20,000 people from villages near Madrid, while in southern France more than 60,000 residents fled their homes, including by boat, to escape two major blazes.“We are experiencing a dramatic situation, not just in several Spanish regions but also in neighboring countries,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote on X.“My solidarity with all the people who have been affected and been forced to leave their homes.”Authorities in southwestern France ordered more mass evacuations along the Atlantic coast because of the large wildfires. France’s Interior minister Laurent Nunez said 40,000 people have been evacuated in the Gironde department, and 23,000 in the Landes.Spain and France both asked fellow European Union members for help.“We will soon be able to rely on reinforcements including two Croatian Canadair firefighting aircraft, two Portuguese Air Tractor aircraft, and two heavy-lift Black Hawk helicopters from the Czech Republic and Slovakia,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said that Italy and Greece are each sending two Canadair water-dumping airplanes.Southern Europe has seen multiple large fires this summer. Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent, with temperatures increasing twice as quickly as the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Scientists warn that climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness, making the region more vulnerable to wildfires. The national emergency in Spain means that the nation’s interior ministry, which controls police and security forces, has taken charge of overseeing the firefighting efforts by Spain’s regions as they struggle to battle multiple blazes that are being fanned by a heatwave. Another large fire in the central province of Ávila prompted national authorities to step in.“All around the town was smoke and fire, I was scared. Everything was fire and smoke, people were nervous,” 33-year-old Joaquin Espinosa told The Associated Press before he and his neighbors were evacuated from the village of Chapinería, located less than an hour's drive west of Madrid.The regional government of Madrid, which spans a wide area around the capital city, said that around 18,000 people had been evacuated from different villages and towns west of the capital as multiple fires raged out of control late on Thursday.“In my 60 years I have never seen something like this in my village, I have never seen fire of these dimensions,” Francisco Martínez, the mayor of Burgohondo, whose 1,500 residents were preventively evacuated in Ávila, told Spain’s national broadcaster TVE.Spain's military emergency brigades and national firefighting brigades have mobilized to support regional firefighting units and water-dumping aircraft. Spanish Minister for the Ecological Transition Sara Aagesen said that Spain has seen an 1,140 square kilometers (440 square miles) already burned this year, more than five times the burned terrain it had through the first half of 2025.Grande-Marlaska said that in addition to the major fires in Madrid and in Ávila that have required the national government to get directly involved, there are nine serious fires in other parts of Spain.Temperatures are expected to top 39 degrees Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) in parts of Spain on Friday, with a high of 44 C (111 F) in Almeria in the southeast.Spanish television showed video taken by retreating residents of walls of flames topped by long plumes of smoke advancing through woods and scrublands. High winds and hilly terrain complicated efforts by firefighters, who combated the blazes with firetrucks and bulldozers.Popular ReadsThis year's fires include Spain's second-largest ever fire that consumed some 320 square kilometers (120 square miles) in recent days in the province of Guadalajara north of Madrid. Thirteen people were also killed in a fire in southern Spain earlier this month, the deadliest fire in recent memory for Spain.Sánchez called on Wednesday for a pact between political parties to fight climate change that he said is key to adapting to a more fire-prone climate.Authorities have not identified the cause of the fires near Madrid. Fires can be caused by sparks from agricultural machinery, lightning strikes, an errant cigarette or even intentional arson.In France, some 100 square kilometers (38 square miles) have been burned by the blaze that has been raging since Wednesday near the touristic Cap Ferret peninsula. Located just 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Bordeaux, the peninsula offers stunning landscapes and sandy beaches as well as oyster-farming villages and upmarket resorts.More than 20,000 people had already been evacuated from towns and vacation resorts on Thursday. The new evacuations were carried out by road, with boat shuttles provided for people who could not travel by their own means.Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed and additional ground and aerial reinforcements have been sent to tackle the blaze. Meanwhile, another major wildfire burned further south down the coast in the municipalities of Biscarrosse and Parentis-en-Born. It remained uncontained as strong winds did not help firefighters.In Italy, wildfires continued to ravage parts of Sicily, with the central-western province of Agrigento particularly hard hit.Italy’s national fire department reported late Thursday that it had mounted over 1,400 operations since last weekend, 240 of which were in the Agrigento area. By Friday, seven of Sicily’s nine provinces remained at the highest level of alert for wildfires, with only the eastern coastal provinces of Messina and Catania registering a lower risk level, the civil protection reported in its daily bulletin.Fueled by temperatures that have topped 40C (104F), low humidity and winds, the blazes have forced scattered evacuations and were blamed for the death of a firefighter responding to a fire in Caltanissetta.Globally, 2025 was the third-hottest year on record, bringing severe heat waves across Europe. Scientists warn that climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness especially in southeastern Europe, making the region more vulnerable to health impacts and wildfires.___Petrequin reported from Paris.

Ja, po e filloj kështu…Mëhilli: Të ruajmë etikën.Manjani: Etikën ta ruajnë ata, se kurva e kurvarë, po e përdor tani, ata legenë, pisa, qelbësira, të cilët trashin gjuhën në mënyrë private. Ata që kanë marrë përsipër të më shajnë në telefonin tim, janë të sharë deri në brezin e tretë, se s’po çoj më shumë. Ku t’i kenë! Hajdeni tani me gjithë protestë, se s’dua t’ia di fare.Mëhilli: Na kanë sharë të gjithëve.Manjani: Nuk i kam askujt borxh. Unë dhe familja ime s’i kemi borxh askujt. Kjo dhunë është pisllëk.
