We’re all here recovering from our first-ever bout of Covid. While nominally “mild” under the official definitions, it’s been an entire week of anything but fun. So I’ll take any smile and laughter I can grab onto right now!
Just saw this headline on an Israeli news site. It seemed too good to be true. But yes — it’s good and it’s true! Enjoy. (my emphases added)
Moscow [Russia], August 6 (ANI/Sputnik): Moscow is calling on all parties to the conflict in the Gaza Strip to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire regime, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday.
“Moscow is seriously concerned about the new wave of armed violence in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict...”
Russia expresses deep concerns about the situation, she said, adding that this “is fraught with the renewal of full-scale military confrontation and further deterioration of the already deplorable humanitarian situation in Gaza.”
“We are calling on all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint, prevent the escalation of hostilities, and immediately return to the sustainable ceasefire regime,” Zakharova concluded.
