Eerst twee jaar lang een bijdrage leveren aan het platwalsen van Gaza, en nu goede sier willen maken met ‘wederopbouw’. De enige bijdrage die Nederland zou moeten leveren is het optimaal faciliteren van het Internationaal Strafhof om de daders te vervolgen.

[105] Schoof wil bijdrage aan wederopbouw

Pagina: 105 - Titel: Schoof wil bijdrage aan wederopbouw - Inhoud: Nederland wil een bijdrage leveren aan de wederopbouw van Gaza,dat heeft demissionair premier Schoof gezegd.Hij is blij dat twee jaar na de aanslagen door Hamas een akkoord is bereikt dat tot een staakt-het-vuren moet leiden. Schoof zei wel dat er nog veel moet gebeuren.Hij doelde onder meer op het vrijlaten van de gijzelaars en de terugtrekking van het Israëlische leger en de humanitaire hulp aan Gaza. Nederland wil in de wederopbouw helpen bij de aanleg van water en energie en mensen helpen om terug te keren naar huis.Schoof noemt het bijdragen aan het hervormen van de Palestijnse autoriteit ook een belangrijk onderdeel.

Interesting to note in the far east of Russia, workers at a power plant went on strike, staged a sleep-in + threatened to throw themselves off the roof.

The 60+ employees in Primorye are protesting at not being paid. It's alleged client SibEra is delaying payments to the plant.

Russia launched 465 drones and 32 missiles at Ukraine (most this morning)

Ukraine stopped:
405 of 465 UAVs (87%)
1/2 Kindzhal
4/14 Ballistic
10/16 Cruise missiles

🇺🇦says a further 4 missiles did not reach the target.

That means 73 strikes at 19 locations & debris in 7 other places

We are expecting the exact figures of missiles and drones fired by Russia within a few minutes. But we do know over 450 drones + 30 missiles were fired at Ukraine.

One child died and more than 20 were injured in the overnight attack.
Here are pictures from Kyiv.

Due to the overnight Russian attacks, hundreds of thousands have no power in Ukraine, many no gas or even water too.

Even when reconnected, enforced blackouts will happen to "share energy" in Kyiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava and Odessa regions.

Russian massive attack on #Ukraine lasted all night.
Yet another morning when all of us call and text each other, asking "Are you ok?"

Ukrainian energy system was the main target of Russia's attack. Various power plants attacked in several regions.
A difficult winter is ahead.

What I find most telling is that Trump said to Stubb: „Maybe you should throw 'em out of NATO frankly.“ He says YOU, not WE. And that is not a coincidence. Trumps talks about NATO as a third party all the time. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
