Senior military commanders from the US, Israel, and eight Arab countries secretly met last week in Germany to discuss the war with Iran and the overall security situation in the region.

According to Axios, the meeting, organized by CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper, brought together military leaders from Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt.

This was the first such meeting since the start of the war between the US and Israel with Iran more than six months ago, and it brought together Israeli and Arab military leaders from countries that in some cases still do not have diplomatic relations.

According to reports, Cooper assured the meeting participants that the US would maintain its military presence in the region, and briefed them on plans to expand protection of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The meeting also took place amid escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and threats to the Bab-el-Mandeb area. Axios reports that Israel, Saudi Arabia, and CENTCOM are discussing the possibility of providing Israeli intelligence and strike support for Saudi operations against the Houthis.

The German insurance giant Allianz has suspended its sponsorship of the Festival of Ideas in Madrid in September 2026, after more than twenty public figures threatened to boycott the event.

They accused the company of being the world’s largest buyer of Israeli government bonds, thereby indirectly supporting the conflict in Gaza. Allianz “strongly” rejected these accusations, stating that it adheres to responsible business practices, while the festival’s organisers emphasised their commitment to maintaining a free and neutral space for debate.

🇷🇺 A serious social crisis is brewing in the Bibirevo district in northeastern Moscow.

Residents of buildings on Korneychuka Street are protesting against the construction of a giant dormitory and a vehicle depot intended for hundreds of migrants.

"We don't want it to be like in the UK, where every seventh or eighth woman is raped! And the government, to deal with this, hands out condoms to Pakistanis! We don't want anything like that for our women!
— a local female resident told the media.

People have been waging an unsuccessful war with officials for two years already. Instead of the promised parking lot on the site of demolished garages, residents are getting a closed migrant town built 30 meters from residential buildings, three schools, kindergartens, and a clinic.

Next to it, a hostel for more than 300 migrants is already operating, and the district is suffering because of it.

The ethnic enclave has already been connected to an old power substation and water supply. The networks can no longer handle it, and when 600 people turn on their boilers at the same time — the microdistrict risks being left without electricity and heat in winter.
The construction site and the vehicle depot with hazardous waste discharge are adjacent to the Chermyanka River — a nature monument.

Local residents say outright that they are afraid to let their children go outside. In public procurement, activists have already uncovered the purchase of hundreds of sets of bedding and mattresses — the real capacity could exceed a thousand people.

Instead of coming out to the people and answering questions, the prefecture and district administration brought in police with machine guns to intimidate their own citizens.

Residents demand the immediate cancellation of the decision to create a migrant town in a residential area. They want to receive the full set of project documentation and hold an open face-to-face meeting between the district leadership and the initiative group. The finished building should be repurposed as a rehabilitation center for SMO veterans (there is already a special pool nearby at the district clinic).

Instead of working in the interests of the native residents, the authorities are serving migrants and the business whims of utility monopolies at the expense of Russians' safety.
