[00:04:38] the United States confirmed its readiness to return to
[00:04:41] its commitments in the memorandum
[00:04:44] of understanding. For its part, Pakistan expressed
[00:04:47] its hope that the potential agreement
[00:04:51] regarding maritime navigation in the region would contribute to the resumption
[00:04:55] of talks between Washington and Tehran.
[00:04:58] The spokesperson for the Pakistani Foreign Ministry,
[00:05:03] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not Tahir Andrabi, affirmed Islamabad's continued efforts with a number of
[00:05:06] countries to reach a comprehensive
[00:05:09] and sustainable solution, adding that any potential
[00:05:12] agreement for navigation would pave the way for the resumption
[00:05:16] of talks at the technical level between Iran and the United
[00:05:19] States.
[00:05:26] The seventh round of talks between Lebanon
[00:05:29] and Israel concluded in the Italian capital
[00:05:32] Rome, which saw progress in some
[00:05:36] technical aspects, while contentious issues
[00:05:39] remained under discussion. The talks
[00:05:43] are expected to resume in subsequent rounds.
[00:05:46] On the ground, Israeli forces launched air
[00:05:50] raids and extensive artillery
[00:05:54] southern Lebanon, which resulted in of people
[00:05:58] and injuries.
[00:06:01] The Italian capital, Rome, closed the curtain on a new
[00:06:05] round of Lebanese-Israeli talks sponsored
[00:06:09] by the Americans and with the participation of mediators
[00:06:12] in an attempt to push forward the process of consolidating the ceasefire on the southern border.
[00:06:16] The meetings witnessed discussions on mechanisms for implementing security
[00:06:20] understandings and completing the deployment of the Lebanese Army
[00:06:23] and the Israeli withdrawal from the remaining areas, in addition
[00:06:26] to arrangements aimed at preventing renewed clashes
[00:06:30] and enhancing stability along the Blue Line.
[00:06:34] Diplomatic circles indicated progress
[00:06:39] an agreement to continue consultations during
[00:06:43] the next round, while the more complex issues,
[00:06:47] foremost among them the complete Israeli withdrawal
[00:06:50] and security guarantees and mechanisms for implementation and monitoring, remained
[00:06:53] without a final resolution, which reflects the continued divergence in the positions
[00:06:57] of the two sides. However, the negotiating atmosphere again
[00:07:01] clashed with a tense ground reality, after
[00:07:05] southern Lebanon witnessed a new military escalation
[00:07:08] in the form of Israeli raids that targeted
[00:07:11] a number of border towns, accompanied by intensive
[00:07:15] flights of drones and fighter jets and shelling that targeted
[00:07:19] populated areas, which resulted in casualties
[00:07:22] and injuries and caused damage to property and infrastructure,
[00:07:25] according to the Lebanese
[00:07:29] contrast, the Israeli army announced the killing of two
[00:07:32] soldiers and the injury of others during a military operation in southern
[00:07:35] Lebanon, affirming its continued operations against what
[00:07:39] it described as Hezbollah targets, while
[00:07:42] the United Nations warned that the continued
[00:07:45] escalation threatens to undermine political
[00:07:48] efforts and increases the fragility of the security and humanitarian situation on
[00:07:52] both sides
[00:07:53] of the border.
[00:07:56] Israeli occupation forces continued their incursions into Qalandia
[00:08:00] refugee camp north of Jerusalem amid widespread demolition
[00:08:04] and raids and tightened military measures in that
[00:08:07] area. Media reports stated that medical teams
[00:08:11] dealt with three critical injuries and more than
[00:08:15] 50 cases of asphyxiation during the raid
[00:08:19] operation.
[00:08:22] With the continued military operations
[00:08:26] the West Bank, Qalandia refugee camp remains at the heart
[00:08:29] of the escalation for the second consecutive day
[00:08:32] amid demolition and widespread
[00:08:35] raids and tightened
[00:08:38] the area. The Palestinian News Agency and Information
[00:08:42] quoted the Governor of Jerusalem as saying that
[00:08:46] the occupation forces began demolishing a number of
[00:08:49] commercial stores in the vicinity of the Qalandia
[00:08:52] military checkpoint simultaneously with the closure
[00:08:55] of the main street to vehicle traffic, which
[00:08:59] led to a complete halt in movement.
[00:09:02] The agency added that
[00:09:05] the occupation forces imposed a curfew in
[00:09:09] the streets of Kafr village and closed all
[00:09:12] roads leading to the city of Jerusalem, including
[00:09:15] the Institute Street, amid a heavy military
[00:09:19] presence. For its part, media reports
[00:09:22] stated that medical teams dealt with three critical
[00:09:25] injuries and more than
[00:09:29] 50 cases of asphyxiation during the raid on
[00:09:32] the camp. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society
[00:09:35] stated that the occupation forces prevented
[00:09:38] its teams during the past hours from entering
[00:09:43] leave. These
[00:09:46] events come amidst continued tension in the West
[00:09:49] Bank amid fears of widening
[00:09:52] escalation and worsening humanitarian conditions due to
[00:09:56] the measures taken by the Israeli occupation army
[00:09:59] from time
[00:10:02] to time.
[00:10:05] Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan affirmed that
[00:10:09] the continuation of Israeli attacks on Gaza shows that Israeli Prime
[00:10:15] want peace. The Turkish official said during
[00:10:18] a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart
[00:10:21] in the capital Ankara, that the Israeli
[00:10:25] government aims to sabotage peace efforts
[00:10:28] and displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip,
[00:10:32] accusing Israel of deliberately intensifying
[00:10:35] acts of sabotage and aggression in occupied
[00:10:38] Jerusalem and the West Bank. These
[00:10:42] statements by the Turkish official come after Arab and Western countries,
[00:10:46] as well as the United Nations,
[00:10:49] repeatedly accused Israel of its attack on
[00:10:53] Gaza amounting to genocide.
[00:10:55] Three people
[00:11:04] injured in an explosion that targeted a passenger bus in the city
[00:11:07] of Jaramana, in the Damascus
[00:11:10] countryside, according to Syrian television,
[00:11:14] stating that the explosion was caused by
[00:11:17] an improvised explosive device planted inside the bus, while
[00:11:21] ambulance and civil defense teams rushed to the site
[00:11:25] to evacuate the victims and secure the area. A security
[00:11:29] source said that the competent authorities initiated
[00:11:31] an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, and
[00:11:35] security forces imposed a cordon around the site
[00:11:38] of the explosion.
[00:11:45] Six people were killed and others injured in Russian shelling
[00:11:48] of areas in Ukraine. Ukrainian
[00:11:52] sources clarified that three of
[00:11:55] them fell in the city of Balakliya in eastern
[00:11:58] Ukraine, while three others were killed in the city
[00:12:02] of Sumy north of the capital Kyiv, while
[00:12:08] the infrastructure of both
[00:12:10] cities. In another development, the Russian
[00:12:13] Ministry of Defense announced that it had shot down overnight
[00:12:17] 605 Ukrainian drones
[00:12:20] in the Crimean Peninsula that were en
[00:12:23] route to target Russian facilities.
[00:12:38] The Ministry of Labor launched the seasonal work platform
[00:12:41] in a step to organize and provide job
[00:12:44] opportunities during seasonal and festival
[00:12:47] periods in the Sultanate of Oman. This
[00:12:50] came within the work of the labor forum held in
[00:12:53] Dhofar Governorate, under the patronage of Dr. Mahad bin
[00:12:57] Said Baowain, Minister
[00:12:58] of Labor.
[00:13:02] Opportunities emerge with every season, but today
[00:13:05] they have become more organized with the seasonal work
[00:13:08] platform that the Ministry of Labor launched to connect
[00:13:12] job seekers with employers, within
[00:13:16] the activities of the Labor Forum
[00:13:18] in Salalah. Simply put, job seekers
[00:13:21] who wish to apply for a seasonal or part-time job
[00:13:25] can access this platform. Also, today, government
[00:13:29] agencies and institutions or companies contracted with government agencies
[00:13:33] during these seasons can post
[00:13:35] these seasonal opportunities through the seasonal
[00:13:39] work platform, and with ease, there will be a connection between
[00:13:42] opportunities and job seekers, or even
[00:13:45] to benefit from those opportunities to utilize
[00:13:49] their time and gain practical
[00:13:52] experience from the real world and the field.
[00:13:55] The seasonal work platform provides an organized
[00:13:58] environment that facilitates access to seasonal opportunities
[00:14:02] and supports the needs of sectors related
[00:14:05] to seasons, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the labor
[00:14:08] market. The clients' union acts as
[00:14:11] an intermediary between the rights of several parties.
[00:14:14] So we always look for a solution that satisfies all parties. The solution must be legal
[00:14:18] and within the authority of the Ministry of Labor. We have two parties,
[00:14:22] employers and employees, so our efforts
[00:14:25] or our policy is always to look for a middle ground that satisfies all
[00:14:29] parties. This is the most important point. If this
[00:14:33] union system works efficiently and union work is highly
[00:14:36] effective, then the Ministry of Labor will certainly notice the active
[00:14:40] unions and the sustainable solutions they offer, and they will be honored
[00:14:44] today. The platform was launched on the sidelines of the ceremony
[00:14:47] honoring success partners and outstanding
[00:14:52] pioneering figures in appreciation
[00:14:55] of their contributions to supporting the work environment.
[00:14:58] This honoring, in fact, translates
[00:15:02] what we see today of trends
[00:15:05] towards national competencies and Oman Vision 2040
[00:15:09] regarding empowering national competencies at different
[00:15:12] levels.
[00:15:14] A platform that organizes opportunities and a step that enhances
[00:15:17] the efficiency of the labor market and opens
[00:15:21] wider horizons for job seekers and employers.
[00:15:25] From the Wilayat of Salalah,
[00:15:29] Khaled bin Mohammed Al-Maashani, Dhofar
[00:15:33] Governorate.
[00:15:36] Between the pursuit of views and the eagerness to
[00:15:39] provide purposeful content, the methods of publishing
[00:15:43] on social media platforms vary. This raises
[00:15:46] interesting questions about the impact of these practices on the digital
[00:15:50] content environment and their repercussions on talented individuals
[00:15:54] and initiatives.
[00:15:58] A title that arouses curiosity or a question that carries a certain
[00:16:01] implication or a clip presented
[00:16:05] in a way that prompts followers
[00:16:07] to ridicule or make judgments. And as soon as
[00:16:11] comments flow, the platforms' algorithms
[00:16:14] push
[00:16:17] spread, because the volume of interaction has become,
[00:16:21] for them, an indicator of the importance
[00:16:24] of the content, regardless of
[00:16:27] its nature. This is a method resorted to by some
[00:16:30] accounts to increase interaction.
[00:16:35] much of social
[00:16:37] media.
[00:16:40] However, its impact extends deeply to talented individuals
[00:16:43] and positive initiatives and ideas.
[00:16:47] Many of them have become hesitant before posting
[00:16:50] their content, not for fear of objective criticism,
[00:16:54] but for fear of a wave of sarcastic
[00:17:00] the content they present,
[00:17:02] turning achievement and diligence into mere
[00:17:05] material for bullying,
[00:17:08] appreciation.
[00:17:10] And over time, the digital
[00:17:14] inspiring stories and successful experiences,
[00:17:18] not because they are non-existent, but because their owners
[00:17:21] chose silence over facing cyberbullying.
[00:17:24] And here, the loss transforms from
[00:17:28] an individual loss to a societal
[00:17:31] loss when the communication
[00:17:34] environment becomes less encouraging for creativity
[00:17:37] and more inclined to create controversy.
[00:17:40] And at a time when social media platforms
[00:17:43] have become part of our daily lives
[00:17:46] and an influential space in shaping
[00:17:49] public opinion, the need arises to promote
[00:17:53] a digital culture based on responsibility
[00:17:56] and respect, so that interaction becomes a tool
[00:17:59] for building dialogue and exchanging knowledge,
[00:18:03] and not a means to achieve dissemination at the expense
[00:18:07] of others. For views may create
[00:18:10] temporary fame, but responsible content is
[00:18:14] the only one capable of creating a lasting
[00:18:17] impact.
[00:18:23] With this report, we come to the end of this bulletin,
[00:18:27] but before the end, here is a reminder of the most prominent headlines
[00:18:30] in it: His Highness Sayyid Bal'arab bin Haitham sponsors the ceremony
[00:18:34] honoring distinguished students in the Higher Education Diploma in Muscat
[00:18:38] Governorate.
[00:18:45] Tehran confirms receiving messages from Washington
[00:18:47] expressing its readiness to return to
[00:18:50] its commitments in the memorandum of understanding, and Islamabad
[00:18:54] expresses its hope for the resumption of talks between
[00:18:58] the two sides.
[00:19:03] A round of talks in Rome between Lebanon
[00:19:06] and Israel
[00:19:08] ends without significant progress amid continued Israeli
[00:19:12] escalation in southern
[00:19:14] Lebanon.
[00:19:21] At the end of our bulletin, greetings from the news
[00:19:24] center team. Good night, and see
[00:19:27] you soon.
