Quick Glance: Biden Promises Swift Military Aid for Ukraine

President Joe Biden assured his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy of quick military support in the fight against Russia's invasion during a Monday call.

The US House of Representatives approved a substantial foreign aid package last week, including $61 billion for war-torn Ukraine, with the Senate expected to follow suit.

Biden emphasized America's 'lasting commitment' to Ukraine 'as it defends its freedom against Russian aggression'.

Zelenskyy reported that Biden assured him he would sign the upcoming military aid package immediately upon Senate approval, and the weaponry provided would strengthen Ukraine's air defense as well as long-range and artillery capabilities.

Quick Glance: Turkey Should Not Provide Sanctuary to Hamas

The images of the meeting between the Turkish President and the Hamas leader in Istanbul are causing unease. Supporting the terrorist organization is problematic. The Islamists are no longer suitable as negotiating partners for resolving the Middle East conflict.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan received Hamas leader Ismail Haniya with a certain statesmanship and drew parallels between Hamas and Turkish insurgents. Turkey adamantly refuses to categorize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Speculations are arising about a potential relocation of Hamas leaders from Qatar to Turkey. Qatar is under pressure due to its closeness to Islamists. Turkey could be an appealing choice for Hamas.

Moving the Hamas headquarters to Turkey would be a provocation towards Israel and its allies. Hamas has discredited itself as a reliable negotiating partner. A political resolution of the Middle East conflict should exclude the involvement of Hamas.

Military expenditure rose consistently over nine years in all regions due to worsening peace and security globally.

Countries like Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Germany, and the UK saw significant spikes in their military spending.

London's Metropolitan Police has accused two men, researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry, of violating the Official Secrets Act.

The charges coincided with the announcement of the arrest of three German nationals suspected of spying for China and accessing secret maritime technology by German investigators.

The British duo is alleged to have transmitted 'articles, notes, documents or information' to a foreign state between 2021 and the previous year.

In September, the Met Police disclosed the arrest of a man in his twenties on espionage suspicions. The Sunday Times revealed his parliamentary researcher identity.

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

MPs back smoking ban for those born after 2009: The measures, championed by PM Rishi Sunak, pass despite opposition by several leading Conservative figures.

bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68824493

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.
