International Turmoil and Diplomatic Maneuvers: Jordan Condemns Tragic Killing, US-Iran Tensions Escalate, and Biden Hosts Starmer for Critical Talks
Jordan condemns killing of dual US-Turkish citizen in West Bank; Biden to host UK's Starmer for talks on Gaza and Ukraine.
Jordan's Foreign Ministry has condemned the tragic killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a dual US-Turkish citizen, during protests in the West Bank, calling for accountability and international pressure on Israel.
Meanwhile, in Austria, an 18-year-old man was shot dead by German police after firing near Israel's Munich consulate, leading to a terror investigation on the anniversary of the 1972 Olympic massacre. Authorities found videos linked to Islamist content but no direct evidence of radical activity.
Shifting to international diplomacy, US President Joe Biden is set to host UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer for talks on Gaza, Ukraine, and transatlantic ties, coming shortly after Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race.
In a related development, the US has raised alarms over Iran supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, a move seen as an escalation in the Ukraine conflict. Reports of Russian military personnel training in Iran and missile deliveries have compounded Western concerns over Iran-Russian security ties.
On the humanitarian front, a UN investigator accused Israel of a "starvation campaign" against Gazans amid escalating conflict, a charge Israel denies citing substantial aid entry. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu refuted the accusations while under international pressure to allow aid into Gaza.
Lastly, in a surprising political twist, former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris for president, prioritizing constitutional duty over party loyalty and expressing criticism of Donald Trump, echoing the earlier stance of his daughter, Liz Cheney.
