Jordan is launching airstrikes after terrorists invaded their country.

Jordan has every right to defend itself against terror. But it’s shameful and indicative of deep hypocrisy that they don’t think their Jewish neighbors have the same right. https://t.co/nKNG3wSG8f

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian opposition activists say an airstrike believed to have been carried out by Jordan’s air force hit a southern province in Syria. The strike late on Monday night came hours after Jordan said its troops killed several smugglers in a clash along the border. Smugglers have using Jordan as a corridor over the past years to smuggle highly addictive Captagon amphetamines out of Syria, mainly to oil-rick Arab Gulf states. Jordan did not confirm the strike in the province of Sweida. Jordanian authorities have managed to stop several smuggling attempts, including some in which smugglers used drones to fly the drugs over the border.

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who has ruled with an unquestioned grip for the past nine years, won reelection to a third, six-year term in office, election authorities announced Monday. He ran against three virtually unknown opponents.

El-Sissi recorded a landslide victory, securing 89.6% of the vote, the National Election Authority said. Turnout was 66.8% of more than 67 million registered voters.

The announcement by the world's four largest shipping companies at the end of the week about suspending sailing through the Suez Canal due to the increasing Houthi attacks in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is not only a severe blow to global trade but, more importantly, to Egypt's national security.
This decision is anticipated to significantly reduce shipping traffic in the Suez Canal, impacting Egypt's income, as about 20% of the world's oil and gas consumption passes through Bab el-Mandeb. Additionally, the Suez Canal handles approximately 98% of the ships traveling between Europe and Asia, encompassing about 30% of global container traffic and 12% of global goods trade. Last fiscal year, the canal contributed $9.4 billion to Egypt's economy, making it a vital source of foreign exchange income. On average, the canal generates $25-30 million for Egypt each day through shipping fees and additional services.

After being revealed by the Israeli newspaper Calcalist and WikiLeaks, the proposal is getting attention in the Israeli and Egyptian critical press. Tel Aviv appears to be in talks with Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi about Egypt taking in Gazans and settling them in Sinai, in exchange for the cancellation of all its debts to the World Bank.

Can someone explain why Israel despite not being part of NATO immediately gets support of NATO whenever they ask? Strange how NATO countries have less protection than a country that isn't even member and therefore Israel doesn't have to protect any NATO country, doesn't have to sign any treaty, doesn't need to get their nukes under control.

Iceland volcano erupts, after weeks of earthquakes
For weeks, volcanologists had been predicting an eruption of a volcano in southwestern Iceland, on the Reykjanes Peninsula, in the most populated part of the country. There’d been earthquakes near the town of Grindavik, about 2.4 miles (4 km) away. And there’d already been evacuations. Then, yesterday, boom! The volcano suddenly blew, blasting lava fountains high into the sky. Ultimately, volcanologists said, the eruption was more powerful than they’d expected, lighting up the sky miles away in the center of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, only about 30 miles (50 km) away
