World Leaders Ask Israel , Not to Retaliate for Iranian Attack.
On April 13, Iran launched hundreds
of drones and missiles at Israel.
The attack came after two Iranian
generals were killed in "a suspected
Israeli strike in Syria" on April 1, AP reports. .
99% of Iran's drones and missiles were intercepted by Israel, according to a military spokesperson. .
World leaders are cautioning
Israel to show restraint and resist
retaliating against Iran, AP reports. .
Now is the time to be smart
as well as tough, to think
with head as well as heart, David Cameron, British foreign secretary, via statement.
We cannot afford another front
in the Middle East. There would only
be losers, in the region and beyond, Alexander Schallenberg, Austria’s foreign minister, via statement.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Israel's ability to intercept Iran's attack "really impressive" and urged the country to "contribute to de-escalation.".
This is a success that perhaps also
should not be thrown away. Hence
also our advice to contribute to
de-escalation themselves, Olaf Scholz, German chancellor, via statement.
Kenya urges Israel to show utmost restraint
taking into account the urgent need for all
parties to walk away from the brink beyond
which recovery will be enormously difficult. , William Ruto, president of Kenya, via statement.
We have condemned, we have
intervened, we will do everything
to avoid an escalation, an inferno, Emmanuel Macron, president of France, via statement.
Now is the time to defuse
and de-escalate. Now is the
time for maximum restraint, António Guterres, U.N. secretary-general, via statement.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

The most important thing of dispute here
is that Hamas and the resistance movement
insists that people who were evicted by
force, by bombardment from their homes,
will be allowed to go back to the north and
Israel wants to discriminate [against them], Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the
Palestinian National Initiative, via Al Jazeera.

which resulted in the deaths of 1,139 people, while Israel's
retaliatory assault has killed over 31,000 Palestinians.
