[GEO.TV] Pakistain reiterated its call for the interim government in Afghanistan to take steps against terrorist groups holed up on its soil, stressing that such murderous Moslem outfits pose a threat to the neighbouring countries including Pakistain.
"Terrorism emanating out of Afghanistan is a concern not only for Pakistain but other neighbouring countries like China, Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan as well," Ambassador Asif Durrani, Pakistain’s Special Representative on Afghanistan said, addressing a roundtable discussion on the "Pak-Afghan Relations: Challenges and Opportunities" at the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... ) on Tuesday.
"Pakistain desires peace and stability in Afghanistan," a statement quoted him as saying.
Ambassador Durrani's remarks came as Pakistain has witnessed a surge in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, since the Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
A day earlier, the Pakistain Army killed three bully boyz while they were trying to infiltrate the Pak-Afghan border in the Dir district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Moreover, two terrorist attacks took place last week, one in DI Khan and the other in Bannu. Two soldiers and five civilians were martyred in DI Khan while eight other soldiers were martyred while trying to foil a terrorist infiltration into the Bannu Cantonment in the wee hours of July 15.
At the roundtable moot, Ambassador Durrani said that Pakistain sought socioeconomic and political conditions in Afghanistan that would facilitate the return of over three million Afghan refugees currently residing in Pakistain.

If only he were allowed to. But his Antifa protesters — funded and trained by the same Progressive rich men and their foundations as have been funding anti-Trump protests here (and before that anti-George W. Bush, and in between all the usual causes they use as excuses to march and riot).
[GEO.TV] Hamas announced Tuesday it had signed an agreement in Beijing with other Palestinian organisations including rivals Fatah to work together for "national unity", with China describing it as a deal to rule Gaza together once the war ends.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who hosted senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzuk, Fatah envoy Mahmud al-Aloul and emissaries from 12 other Palestinian groups, said they had agreed to set up an "interim national reconciliation government" to govern post-war Gaza.
"Today we sign an agreement for national unity and we say that the path to completing this journey is national unity. We are committed to national unity and we call for it," Abu Marzuk said after meeting Wang and the other envoys.
Courtesy of Thing From Snowy Mountain, CNBC’s take:
Hamas and Fatah have been bitter enemies ever since the bloody 2006-2007 civil war in the Gaza Strip.
But this is far from the first time the rival groups have signed reconciliation pacts, only to return to hostilities due to persistent disagreements.
The development is significant for China, which has increasingly moved to expand its role in international diplomacy.
Chinese state media hailed the agreement, saying it was signed by 14 Palestinian factions, while Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called it a “historic moment for the cause of Palestine’s liberation.”
But this is far from the first time that Hamas and Fatah have signed reconciliation pacts, only to return to hostilities due to persisting disagreements.
“Before everyone gets excited and files a batch of stories about China as the Middle East’s new diplomatic power: a reminder that, since 2006, Hamas and Fatah also signed reconciliation agreements in Algiers, Cairo, Doha, Mecca and Sana’a, none of which actually reconciled them,” Gregg Carlstrom, author of the book “How Long Will Israel Survive? The Threat From Within,” wrote in a post on X.
While statements following the talks highlighted the signatories’ consensus on building an interim unity government that would be established with China’s support, long-time observers of the region noted that meetings and declarations will not determine success for the diplomatic efforts.
“Since 2007, there have been numerous rounds of negotiation and even provisional agreements aimed at reconciliation but they have all failed,” Taufiq Rahim, principal at 2040 Advisory and author of “Middle East in Crisis & Conflict: A Primer,” told CNBC.
“The devil is not in the details but the implementation,” he said. “Given the many uncertainties on the ground and the upcoming US elections the deal could be upended easily.”
China has increasingly moved to expand its role in international diplomacy, making world headlines in March of 2023 when it helped broker a historic normalization agreement between then-adversaries Iran and Saudi Arabia.

[GEO.TV] The Paleostinian Authority's budget deficit is projected to surge by 172% in 2024 compared to 2023, according to a statement from the cabinet on Tuesday.
Revenues are also expected to drop by 21% due to the ongoing conflict in 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... .
The announcement followed President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....> ’ approval of the emergency budget for 2024, which includes austerity measures such as reducing salaries, operational and capital expenditures, and maintaining minimal development expenditures.
The war has hindered the Paleostinian administration’s ability to pay public sector salaries in full for over two years because of reduced aid and Israel withholding tax money.

So, Palestine even admits, without foreign aid and taxes collected from Israeli business related transactions they can't exist and function. Is this a UN bigger version of the US Democrat Voter Plantation ?
BUT!
Yet they harbor Terrorists, that directly affect their $$$ revenue streams $$$$ needed to exist?
Maybe The Palestinian Authority needs to enact a Terrorist, Weapons, Tunnel, and Aftermath Clean-up Tax.
