Israeli Ambassador removed from AU Summit<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, a senior Israeli diplomat was removed from the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, over Israel\u2019s accreditation of the bloc. The spokesperson of the African Union Commission Chairperson, Ebba Katondo, said that the diplomat was removed as she was not the duly accredited Israeli Ambassador, the official who was expected to attend.<\/p>\n

Israel looked harshly upon the incident, saying that Ambassador Sharon Bar-Li, the deputy director for Africa, was removed despite her status as an accredited observer with entrance badges.<\/p>\n

The Israeli Foreign Minister blamed the incident squarely on two key nations in the 55-country bloc, South Africa and Algeria, saying they were driven by hate and held the AU hostage.<\/p>\n

He said that the Charge d\u2019 Affaires at the South African embassy would be summoned for a reprimand.<\/p>\n

The claim was rejected by South Africa, saying that Israel\u2019s observer status had not been settled and that \u201cuntil the AU decides on whether to grant Israel observer status, you cannot have the country sitting and observing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The African National Congress also welcomed the ousting of the Israeli delegate. It said that Israel\u2019s attending the summit was an \u201cattempt to undermine the current sitting AU summit from considering a report that is supposed to guide discussions on whether Israel must be granted an observer status.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANC also clarified that it opposed the \u201cAU granting apartheid Israel any observer status.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warnings of major escalations at Al Quds<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Israeli Intelligence Services have warned that an escalation in the occupied Al Quds and the West Bank is on the cards and blamed this on the newly elected Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir. He embarked on an unprecedented crackdown on Palestinians.<\/p>\n

In the past week, he demolished Palestinian buildings, confiscating assets of current and former Palestinian prisoners, and dozens of new roadblocks and checkpoints have been installed. The number of police officers in Jerusalem has increased. He has also imposed harsh conditions against Palestinian prisoners, including closing canteens, removing stoves to heat food and kettles, and cutting off their hot water supply.<\/p>\n

Ml Moosa says these deliberate and punitive measures against Palestinians have responded by declaring a general strike and civil disobedience to protest the crackdown. The protest included a stay away from Israeli workplaces and the non-payment of taxes to Israeli-run municipalities and other state agencies.<\/p>\n

Media exposes Israeli-based global disinformation unit \u2013 \u201cTeam Jorge\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

An international consortium of reporters’ investigation has exposed an Israel-based global disinformation unit called ‘Team Jorge’ that has allegedly meddled in the elections of various countries.<\/p>\n

Team Jorge, headed by an Israeli special forces operative, is linked with software to operate fake social media campaigns across countries and is said to have interfered with more than 30 elections worldwide.<\/p>\n

Headed by a former Israeli special forces operative, 50-year-old Tal Hanan, the group goes by the codename \u2018Team Jorge,\u2019 after Hanan\u2019s pseudonym. Three reporters, posing as consultants representing a \u201cpolitically unstable African country that wanted help delaying an election,\u201d secretly recorded six hours of meetings with Hanan between July and December 2022.<\/p>\n

The workings of the elaborate undercover operation that shed light on disinformation operatives working in the shadows leaked to\u00a0The Guardian.<\/p>\n
