⚠️ Israel Demolishes Some 1,100 of 2,800 Buildings on Land it Intends to Use as Buffer Zone - FT

Amos Yadlin, former head of Israeli military intelligence, expects Tel Aviv will enforce a “perimeter” of 500 metres to 1km inside Gaza once the fighting was over.

“This will be a buffer: no one will be there, only mines . . .  to make sure October 7 never happens again,” he said.

Israeli officials have declined to comment on how wide the buffer will be.

⚠️Hungary Sees ‘No Urgency’ in Voting on Sweden’s NATO Accession – Parliamentary Speaker

The opposition Socialist party said this week it would call for an extraordinary session to approve Sweden's NATO entry bid, stranded in Hungarian legislature since mid-2022 despite repeated pledges by PM Viktor Orban to support it.

"I have no doubt that one of the opposition parties - who have consistently gone against Hungarian interests - will call for the (extraordinary) meeting, but this will likely fail," Laszlo Kover, a founding member of Orban's ruling Fidesz, told news website index.hu.

"I do not feel any particular urgency. Moreover, I do not think there is an extraordinary situation," he added.
