Southern Cyprus becomes a base for operations against the Gaza Strip . Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that some countries are using the Republic of Cyprus as a springboard for operations against the Gaza Strip, which will not benefit either Greece or Kazakhstan.

“ We have seen in intelligence reports that Cyprus is being used by some countries for operations against the Gaza Strip. It has become a hub of operations. When the issue was raised, they suddenly announced that they had a logistics base, which turned out to be a cover for military operations. Using it for operations in the Middle East would not be in the interests of either Cyprus or Greece, ” said Fidan.

According to the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, countries in the region “face a great threat of the spread” of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, “this risk will remain as long as Israel continues to hostilities”.

Russia is doing everything to prevent more countries from getting involved in the war in the Middle East . Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference after talks with Belarusian Foreign Minister Sergei Aleynik that Moscow is doing everything to avoid drawing more and more countries into the war in the Middle East.

According to Mr. Lavrov, the Iranian leadership, like the Russian government, “starts from the absolute inadmissibility of provocative actions aimed at expanding the area of ​​military operations.” “We know very well who is behind these ideas,” Mr. Lavrov emphasized.

The US opposes Israel's continued military operations in the Gaza Strip . US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the US opposes Israel's continued military operations in the Gaza Strip, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would continue to attack the Gaza Strip until Hamas is defeated.

“ That is just a recipe for continued conflict, continued instability and continued insecurity for Israel. We think that continued military action in the Gaza Strip only weakens Israel, makes it harder to achieve a solution in the north, creates more instability in the West Bank and makes it harder for Israel to normalize relations with its neighbors, ” Miller said.

The spokesman noted that the US also opposed Mr Netanyahu's suggestion that Israel might have to maintain “military control” over the Gaza Strip.

“ We want to see a transition to a different security environment and ultimately to a unified Gaza Strip and West Bank ,” Mr. Miller stressed.

Israel “warns hot” Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the country is still committed to the proposed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the hostage exchange agreement.

“ Israel will continue to push for the ceasefire and hostage exchange, which President Biden agreed to. Secondly, without contradicting the first point, we will not end the war until we destroy Hamas ,” Netanyahu said.

Egypt coordinates with the United Nations to send aid to the Gaza Strip . Al-Qahera News channel quoted a high-ranking source as saying that over the past three weeks, Egypt has coordinated with the United Nations to send 2,272 trucks into the Gaza Strip through the Israeli-controlled Karm Abu Salem border crossing.

According to the source, the coordination with the United Nations is only a temporary measure until the resumption of operations at the Rafah crossing on the Palestinian side, which has been under Israeli occupation since early May. The source reiterated that Egypt denies any operations through the Rafah crossing under the control of Israeli occupation forces.

EU threatens to downgrade Georgia. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the EU would downgrade political ties with Georgia and consider freezing financial aid to Tbilisi after the country passed a controversial "foreign agents" law.

The law, which requires organizations with more than 20% foreign capital to register as "foreign-influenced organizations", has been criticized in the West as a "Kremlin-style authoritarian" move, as Russia also maintains similar regulations.

Speaking at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, Mr. Borrell said that the Georgian government is pulling the country away from the EU, even though Tbilisi has officially expressed its desire to join the union.

France- Macron warns of “risk of civil war”. French President Emmanuel Macron said that both the far-right National Rally (RN) party and the left-wing New Popular Front (NPF) alliance - the leading candidates in the parliamentary elections - pose a risk of leading to “civil war” in France.

Mr Macron said the RN party's manifesto and its solutions to address fears about crime and immigration were based on "stigmatisation or division".

" I think the solutions that the far right is proposing are unacceptable, because they are classifying people according to religion or origin and that is why it can lead to division and civil war ," Mr Macron said.

The French president made similar criticism of the far-left party France Unbowed (LFI), part of the NPF coalition.

" There is a civil war behind that if you just classify people according to their religious views or the community they belong to. It is a way of justifying isolating them from the wider national community and in this case you will cause a civil war with people who do not share those values ," Mr Macron said.
