Hello good morning!
Hamas attacks, Israel responds, others wait? For now, the hostages condition the Israeli offensive on Gaza but, no matter how you look at it and wherever you look, no solution promises peace. It carries other bad omens.
Israel is at war against Hamas and the army cannot yet guarantee that there are no guerrillas inside Israel. However, the total siege of Gaza is ordered. Of course, 150 hostages held by Hamas condition the Israeli ground offensive.
There are already more than 1,000 deaths due to the crisis in the Middle East. The rain of rockets continues. Everything is in doubt. And the analyses, for example this one by former minister Shlomo Ben Ami in this newspaper, already say: “Hamas achieves a tactical and strategic surprise.”
In parallel, we also look at the south of Lebanon, which Israel has bombed after an infiltration by Islamic Jihad (and here there are prominent Spanish soldiers with the UN). And to Iran given its interests. And to the tension in the EU over aid to the Palestinian people.

The pleasure of desired solitude. Time without company emerges as a moment of relaxation and reconnection, but only if it is desired, it is noted. And thus the warning from the experts: this need for solitude has recently been magnified.
After the European success at the Ryder held in Rome, the golf competition between Europe, the US and its stars is gaining momentum. For its part, Caldes de Malavella is closer to hosting it by 2031. This month will be central.
The weapon that could have changed the history of Catalonia. It is now detailed how Companys refused to finance the purchase of 30,000 Mausers that Dencàs intended to close in October 1934 for the Catalan revolt. The Republic, what times.
