“No normalization with Israel”

A Lebanese group, consisting of senior religious figures, has condemned any move to normalize relations with the Israeli regime. In a statement, the Beirut Muslim Scholars Association dismissed as unjustifiable any ties with Tel Aviv under the pretext of humanitarian corridor or any other title. It reiterated that there is no humanitarian or religious corridor between Lebanon and the occupying regime of Israel. The statement also read that Tel Aviv is an enemy of Lebanon, and that some are trying to overthrow the government in order to set the stage for normalizing ties with Israel. The association made it clear that normalization with the enemy will not take place under any circumstances.

Israeli spy network busted

A day after the arrest of a spy network in Iran, the Islamic Republic has released new details about the group which it says was linked to the Israeli spy agency, Mossad.  A source close to Iran's Supreme National Security Council says the team had planned terrorist and sabotage operations in several sensitive locations, including a center in Isfahan province. The source says the network’s elements had received training for months in an African country and entered Iran through Iraq’s Kurdistan region. They possessed advanced equipment and powerful explosives. The Iranian intelligence ministry says the team had placed their explosives in their targeted area and was arrested hours before completing their terrorist operation.

“Western bans behind food crisis”

The Russian Foreign Minister wards off criticism that Moscow is responsible for the current global food crisis, saying the crisis already existed before the Ukraine war. Lavrov also denounced western sanctions on Russia, saying those measures have exacerbated global food supply. He said Russian ships are banned from sending grain and other food to Mediterranean ports. Lavrov was addressing the Arab League on a visit to Egypt. The top Russian diplomat is on a tour of African countries that rely on grain import from Russia. Lavrov reassured the Egyptian government that their orders for Russian grain would be met at the earliest. The visit comes after Russia and Ukraine signed a deal on Friday that would allow Kiev to resume its Black Sea grain exports. After Egypt, Lavrov is scheduled to visit Uganda, Ethiopia and Congo.
