[Regnum] A "suspicious" approach to a vessel occurred near the Yemeni port of Mocha (Mocha). This was reported on June 30 by the UK Maritime Trade Office (UKMTO) of the country's Navy.
“UKMTO received a report of an incident 13 nautical miles (about 24 kilometers – Editor’s note) south of Moha, Yemen,” the department informed.
It is noted that the incident was classified as a “suspicious approach.”
As Regnum reported, earlier on June 29, the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) attacked four commercial ships in the Red and Mediterranean seas. According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sariya, the movement's fighters launched ballistic missile attacks on the oil tanker Delonix, and also attacked the Ioannis ship in the Red Sea and the Waler oil tanker and the Johannes Maersk ship in the Mediterranean Sea.
Saria said on June 27 that the Houthis carried out a complex attack on the Seajoy in the Red Sea using drones, missiles and an unmanned boat. He added that the Houthis also launched several cruise missiles at a vital target in Israel's Haifa.

[KavkazUzel] Calls to move the trial of the riots at the Makhachkala airport from the Krasnodar Territory to Dagestan are inappropriate, said the head of the republic, Sergei Melikov, after appeals from relatives of the accused and a deputy who supported them.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on February 17, relatives of the participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport appealed to Putin with a request for leniency. In particular, they noted that some families do not have the opportunity to travel to court hearings in Krasnodar Krai, where the case of the five defendants has been transferred. The transfer of the case to Kuban can be appealed, but success is unlikely, lawyers interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated.
On February 12, the Supreme Court granted the Prosecutor General's Office's motion to change the territorial jurisdiction of the case of the five defendants and transferred the case to the Armavir District Court. There were no grounds for transferring the case to another region; this decision will complicate the defense's work, the lawyers said.
The strange statements made by some State Duma deputies, not coordinated with anyone, are inappropriate and inappropriate
The criminal cases of the rioters have been transferred to Krasnodar Krai "to eliminate the subjective factor," Dagestan head Sergei Melikov said today. "The strange, uncoordinated statements by some State Duma deputies about returning the cases to Dagestan are completely inappropriate. I am against this, as I am against anyone interfering in the work of special structures," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
The investigation into the case is “as objective as possible,” Melikov emphasized. “The guilty will get what they deserve, and the innocent will not suffer,” he assured.
The head of Dagestan did not specify which of the deputies he had in mind. Earlier, State Duma deputy Saigidpasha Umakhanov asked the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia to instruct him to consider an appeal on the advisability of changing territorial jurisdiction so that criminal cases about the riots at the Makhachkala airport were considered in Dagestan, Chernovik writes today.
The deputy chairman of the Dagestan Public Monitoring Commission, Shamil Khadulaev, reported the same thing on his Telegram channel on June 21. "Yesterday, the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, S. Umakhanov, addressed the new chairperson of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Irina Leonidovna Podnosova, on our, the public, appeal to the deputy in connection with the fact of transferring the consideration of the court cases of the guys from Dagestan in the airport case to Krasnodar Krai. The deputy's appeal is also connected with the public's hope for an objective investigation of this high-profile case," Khadulaev wrote.
Khadulaev’s publication is illustrated with a photocopy of an appeal on behalf of Umakhanov. The document is dated June 20. “The Dagestan public in its appeal expresses hope for an objective investigation and impartial (and fair) consideration of criminal (“airport”) cases. […] I ask you to instruct us to consider the specified appeal on the advisability of changing territorial jurisdiction so that criminal (“airport”) cases the cases were considered in the Republic of Dagestan,” the published appeal says.
According to the text of the document, the reason was an appeal to Umakhanov by "public figure Khalidov Dengi Shakhrudinovich, who represents the interests of an initiative group of a number of communities in several municipal districts of Dagestan, as well as the parents of the defendants (a total of about 140 people)."
"The appeal states that these criminal cases have been transferred for consideration to the Krasnodar Territory (to the Armavir City Court) due to the fact that there has been a lack of confidence in the law enforcement and judicial system of the Republic of Dagestan," the document says.
Saygidpasha Umakhanov himself, as of 17.50 Moscow time on June 30, did not report on his telegram channel about his appeal to the Chairman of the Supreme Court and did not comment on today’s statement by the head of Dagestan.
Let us recall that the first hearing in the Armavir City Court on the case of five rioters was supposed to take place at the end of May, but the accused were not transported in time. The hearing was postponed to June 18, but on that day the court, at the request of the prosecution, again postponed the consideration of the case, since one of the accused was not brought to court.
[Breitbart] The Parliamentary faction of President Emmanuel Macron has been utterly destroyed in the unexpected snap election he called just three weeks ago, with Le Pen’s Party looking to nearly treble its seat holding.
Polling has closed in France for the first round of this week-long Parliamentary election. While actual seat distribution won’t be fully known, the exit polls following this knock-out round have given a confident answer that Marine Le Pen’s nationalist-populist National Rally (RN) won the day. Per the exit polls, her faction gained 34 per cent of the vote, while the left-wing coalition founded for the purpose of this election picked up 29 per cent, and President Macron’s Ensemble looks at just 20 per cent.
In terms of seats, any one party or group would need 289 seats in the 577 seat house. A series of exit polls suggest that by the end of next Sunday, RN could have as few as 250 seats, but could get as many as 310 depending on second round voting. This is a simply enormous leap for RN, given Le Pen’s party had just 88 Members of Parliament last time.
More detailed results will continue to come in overnight and into Monday. There now follows a week of further campaigning, before the final head-to-head rounds next week.
France, Elabe exit poll:
Snap national parliament election (seat distribution)
"Theright wing parties won the elections in France. Now the left wing, the communists and the Islamists are rioting, attacking police and looting stores."

[ColonelCassad] The League of Arab States has officially removed Hezbollah's status as a "terrorist organization." Now, from the Arab League's point of view, Hezbollah is a completely legal Lebanese military-political structure. In fact, Hezbollah has long been more than just a paramilitary Shiite group. Hezbollah is very dense integrated into the structure of the loose Lebanese state, in fact being part of it, while an important feature is that Hezbollah does not seek full-scale power throughout Lebanon, concentrating on increasing its political and economic influence, as well as on the growth of its military capabilities.
As a result, Hezbollah can easily wage war on the border with Israel regardless of the position of the Lebanese army and the Lebanese government. This is an indicator of both the weakness of the Lebanese state and the strength of Hezbollah as its component.
Hezbollah in its current form is the most valuable regional ally. Iran, glad of whose support a land corridor was built running to Lebanon through Iraq and Syria, through which weapons and missiles are supplied to Lebanon for Hezbollah. During the Syrian war, Hezbollah was already one of Russia's regional allies, taking part in battles on the side of the Russian-Iranian-Syrian coalition, including receiving Russian weapons, including T-90 tanks.
In Russia, Hezbollah was not and is not considered a terrorist organization, despite Israel's attempts (even before the war in Gaza) to put pressure on the Kremlin in this matter. The decision of the Arab League strengthens the Russian position on this issue.
The Arab League's decision can also be seen as another tactical win for Iran, which is using the Israeli genocide in Gaza to normalize relations with a significant part of the Arab world and expand its influence in it.
[Breitbart] Israel is in a political uproar on Monday after authorities released Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the director of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, which Hamas and other terror groups used as a base, including for smuggling or killing hostages.
Abu Salmiya was released after seven months in detention without charge.
Many Israelis believe he is responsible for the terror at the hospital; Palestinians saw his release as a sign of his innocence, and unfair treatment of detainees.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
The Shin Bet and the IDF have released 50 Gaza detainees, including the director of Shifa Hospital Muhammad Abu Salmiya, who has been in administrative detention in Israel since November 23.
Although Hamas was using Shifa Hospital as a terror base and to conceal hostages, there was never any concrete proof publicly produced that Abu Salmiya was directly involved in this.
Back in November, a senior IDF source told The Jerusalem Post that Abu Salmiya had given suspicious answers when questioned about what he knew about Hamas’s systematic usage of his hospital, but suspicious answers without evidence cannot usually be used to hold someone in administrative detention for more than seven months.
It is entirely possible the release was a legal necessity, if there was no evidence specifically pointing to Abu Samiya.
The release prompted a round of finger-pointing among members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, who attempted to blame each other for releasing Abu Salmiya — at least without Israeli hostages also being released.
Opposition leaders used the event to attack the government, saying it was dysfunctional and needed to be replaced.
Update: Netanyahu has denounced the release of Abu Salmiya and called for a full investigation. In a statement, he said that “the release of the director of the Shifa Hospital is a serious mistake and a moral failure. This man, under whose auspices our hostages were held and murdered, belongs in prison.”
[NEWARAB] A senior Paleostinian Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... official said Saturday in Beirut that negotiations for an agreement with Israel on a Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ceasefire and captive exchange deal had not made any progress.
It was reported on Saturday that the US changed the language on the plan presented last month by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created... by the — you know — you know, the thing... to bridge the gap between the differing positions of Hamas and Israel.
However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... later on the same day, Osama Hamdan, a Hamas official based in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , confirmed that the movement had received the latest proposal on June 24, but that it included "nothing new", with Israel continuing to reject a permanent ceasefire.
Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia grabbed for Jane's hair to make her point. Jane elbowed her in the face in rebuttal... Israel continues to viciously assault northern Gaza, the fourth day of an Israeli military operation that has uprooted tens of thousands of Paleostinians and compounded what the UN called "unbearable" living conditions in the territory.
An AFP correspondent reported explosions from the Shejaiya area of Gaza City, and a resident saying bodies were seen on the streets. Thousands of people remain trapped in the area without access to food or medical care.
[NEWARAB] Iran's sole reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili have qualified for a runoff presidential election after leading in the first round, an official said on Saturday.
Pezeshkian got more than 10,400,000 votes and Jalili, a former nuclear negotiator, has more than 9,400,000, said Mohsen Eslami, spokesman of Iran's election authority.
"None of the candidates could garner the absolute majority of the votes, therefore, the first and second contenders who got the most votes will be referred" for the second round, scheduled for next Friday, Eslami told a press conference.
Out of around 61 million eligible voters, some 24,500,000 voters headed to the polls, he added, with a turnout of around 40 percent - the lowest yet in the history of the Islamic republic.
Out of Iran's 13 previous presidential elections since the Islamic revolution in 1979, only one has led to runoffs in 2005.
Conservative parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf received about 3,383,340 votes and Mostafa Pourmohammadi, a conservative cleric, had 206,397 votes.

should be 'so called' reformist
Pezeshkian has pledged allegiance to Khamenei (otherwise he wouldn't have been permitted to run) and is only a reformist on a few issue which he probably can't influence very much
