Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves

Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

Initiation of the search and rescue operation occurred on April 6 when a family member of the sailors contacted the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam due to their absence.

Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.

Quick Glance: Foreign Leaders Push for US Ukraine Aid, Republicans Turn to Trump

An unprecedented series of foreign officials, including from Japan, Britain, and Italy, have visited Washington in recent months, urging congressional Republicans to approve more military aid for Ukraine.

However, former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump might hold a different stance that these lawmakers could listen to.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called on lawmakers to overcome 'self-doubt' about the country's role on the world stage, warning that Ukraine's hopes would collapse without US support.

The visits of foreign leaders to Washington reflect deep anxieties, especially in Europe, about how long Ukraine can hold on without significant new help from Washington.

China is surging equipment sales to Russia to help war effort in Ukraine, US intelligence finds

apnews.com/article/united-states-china-russia-ukraine-war-265df843be030b7183c95b6f3afca8ec

Quick Glance: China Supports Russia in Weapons Manufacturing with Impact on Ukraine

China is aiding Russia in significantly expanding its defense industrial base, leading to the most ambitious military manufacturing since the Soviet era. The support includes a variety of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines, as well as technologies for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose used in weapons propellant. Chinese and Russian entities are also collaborating on drone production in Russia.

The assistance from China is significantly influencing Russia's ability to continue its assault on Ukraine, while Ukraine's military struggles with equipment shortages, exacerbated by Republicans blocking a vote on new American military aid. US officials attribute Russia's rapid military build-up largely to Chinese support, with China accounting for 90% of Russia's microelectronics imports in 2023.

President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have raised concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base and are trying to persuade China to cease this practice. Pressure on China continues to ensure that companies do not provide support to the Russian defense sector, which could have significant consequences.

China is assisting Russia in enhancing its satellite and space capabilities for use in Ukraine. The US is actively engaging with banks worldwide to establish compliance systems to avoid inadvertent involvement in supporting the Russian defense industrial base, which would result in sanctions. Efforts to convince China to halt this support are ongoing to prevent further bolstering of Russia's military capabilities.

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.
