In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

On Thursday, Jackson Hinkle's X post labeling Taiwan a 'fake country' under China drew sharp rebuttals and support, spotlighting Taiwan's limited diplomatic recognition by only 12 UN members and the Holy See amid the unresolved Chinese Civil War.

Iranian accounts claim construction started last week on the 657-kilometer Herat-Mazar-e-Sharif railway in Afghanistan, built by Iranian firms and funded by local minerals for a seamless connection to China. Proponents see it as a sanctions workaround via the Five Nations Corridor, potentially slashing trade distances by 50% and opening paths for pipelines. No confirmation comes from Iran's Railways, Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Works, or state media, despite recent Tehran talks on June 8 and ongoing feasibility studies. The project follows years of delays, with security and funding hurdles still in play.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Social media lights up with reports of shovels breaking ground on a key Afghan rail line linking Iran to China. But official voices remain silent so far.
