Bahrian rallies against Israel
People in Bahrain have taken to the streets in protest at the upcoming trip by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to their country. The protesters gathered in several areas of Bahrain on Friday, chanting death to Israel. They also carried signs with Herzog’s image, calling him criminal. Opposition activists launched a campaign on social media too, speaking out against normalization with Israel. Herzog is set to arrive in Bahrain on Sunday. He will be the first Israeli president to visit the Arab country. Bahrain, along with the UAE and Morocco, normalized ties with the regime in 2020 under a US-backed deal. The move sparked Muslims’ anger, who called it a betrayal to the Palestinian cause.
Canada sanctions Iran again
Canada has announced additional sanctions against Iran over what it describes as human rights violations as well as actions threatening international peace. The new measures target four individuals over their involvement in the Iranian government’s response to the recent unrest there. Five entities are targeted too. They include two Iranian technology firms accused of cooperating with the government in transferring drones to Russia for use in the Ukraine war. Canada and its Western allies allege that Russia has used the Iranian drones against civilians in Ukraine. Iran has strongly denied that. It says it gave the aircraft to Russia prior to the Ukraine war and as part of mutual defense cooperation. Iran also denies human rights violations against its people. The country in November put sanctions on a Canadian entity and eight individuals in a reciprocal move.
Support for South Korea truckers
South Korean workers have rallied in the capital, Seoul, in support of the ongoing strike by truckers. The protesters, including truckers, were workers from South Korea’s biggest labor union. It said about five-thousand workers joined the rally taking place near the National Assembly. Saturday marks the tenth say of a nationwide strike by Korean truckers. More than 20,000 have stopped working to demand better pay. The government has ordered them to get back on the road, because the action has disrupted supply chain. It has also said it would not expand a minimum pay system for truckers beyond a further three years. The unions reject that.
