Israel-Iran Conflict: Russia,Germany, UK urge restraint as threat puts Middle East on edge| Oneindia
On Thursday, a call for restraint echoed from Russia, Germany, and Britain to nations in the Middle East, as tensions escalated over an Iranian threat targeting Israel.
Israel, in response, asserted its readiness to address all its security concerns.
Lufthansa, one of the limited Western airlines serving Tehran, prolonged the suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital, citing safety concerns.
Additionally, Russia cautioned against travel to the Middle East amidst the escalating situation.
The backdrop of this tension is the vow of retaliation from Iran following the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus, which resulted in the death of a senior Iranian general and six other military officers.
This incident has further strained an already tense region, compounded by the ongoing Gaza conflict.
While Israel has not claimed responsibility for the airstrike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that Israel must face consequences for the attack, likening it to an assault on Iranian soil.
Three Israeli soldiers died in a Hamas rocket attack near Rafah, Gaza, while Israeli airstrikes resulted in civilian casualties. The attack targeted the Kerem Shalom crossing, prompting its closure. Amid escalating tensions, Israel vowed to enter southern Gaza, raising concerns about humanitarian efforts. Efforts for a ceasefire in Cairo faltered as casualties continued to mount, deepening the conflict's toll on both sides.

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Simultaneously, he has been urging Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, to accept a proposed deal aimed at securing the release of hostages and achieving a ceasefire. Following his visits to Riyadh and Amman earlier in the week, Blinken is now in Israel, the final stop of his broader Middle East tour. Reports indicate that Blinken is currently meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This marks Blinken's seventh visit to the region, which has been engulfed in conflict since October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Blinken's main focus during his time in Israel is to pressure the Israeli government into taking specific actions to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He emphasised the need to address the suffering of the people in Gaza amidst the ongoing crossfire instigated by Hamas, while also striving to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

According to McDonald's, higher sales in the

The company saw same-store sales rise by
1.9% worldwide between January and March,
below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%.
Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell
by 0.2% for the first time since 2020.
Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.
