Roy Mazrahi and Almoog Attias were arrested last week on charges of spying for the Islamic Republic of Iran's intelligence services. The two were childhood friends, residents of Nasher near the Israeli port of Haifa, had become addicted to gambling and amassed a lot of debt, the Jerusalem Post reported. This young Israeli sees the situation as an opportunity to escape his financial crisis. Espionage cases in Israel will increase by about 400 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. Tehran appears to be seizing the opportunity of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The targetted people are all facing financial difficulties and looking for a shortcut way to pay off their debts. Islamic Republic of Iran's intelligence services have contacted Israelis via WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, LinkedIn, Instagram and X. Iranian agents have also launched phishing campaigns to collect information from Israeli citizens. Most intrigued Israelis have said they did not know at first that they were working for Tehran. Iranian agents are only waiting for the next victim to respond to their message. In another case, Moshe Attias, 18, received such a message: "Thank you for contacting Iranian intelligence" Israeli police detained Moti Maman, 73, on suspicion of plotting to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Indictment: Moti Maman travelled secretly to Iran twice to meet with Iranian relations. He requested $1 million in advance payments in Iran to carry out the assassination. The couple received $600 a day for gathering information about potential targets.

AI Summary:
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said the kingdom and Qatar will offer joint financial support to state employees in Syria. His statements came on Saturday during a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Asaad al-Shibani in Damascus. The two Gulf nations have been among the most important regional supporters of Syria’s new authorities. International ties Syria’s new government has sought to rebuild the country’s diplomatic ties and convince wary Western states that he has turned his back on past ties with groups such as al-Qaeda. Syrian leader has repeatedly disavowed extremism and expressed support for minorities, but incidents of violence that has led to hundreds of deaths continue to cause international trepidation. Trump became the first US president in 25 years to meet with a Syrian counterpart. The US had already removed a $10m reward for the capture of al-Sharaa.

India's chief of defence staff says the country suffered initial losses in the air during a recent military conflict with neighbouring Pakistan. "What was important is, why did these losses occur, and what we will do after that," General Anil Chauhan told the Reuters news agency. India and Pakistan engaged in a four-day conflict this month, their worst standoff since 1999, before a ceasefire was agreed on May 10. India's Air Marshal AK Bharti told reporters in New Delhi that "all our pilots are back home" Chauhan said India switched tactics after suffering losses in the air on the first day of conflict. Islamabad has denied it suffered any losses of planes but has acknowledged its airbases suffered some hits.

AI Summary:
Hamas says it has responded to a US proposal for a temporary ceasefire. It reiterated previously stated demands for "a permanent ceasefire" the fighting would stop for 60 days and see release of some of the 58 hostages still held in Gaza. A report in February put this stockpile level at 274.8 kilograms. There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the new IAEA report. Iran is now the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material. Iran has maintained its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, but the IAEA chief has warned that Tehran has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make "several" nuclear bombs if it chose to do so. Israel's swift reaction Israel said the report was a clear warning sign that "Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program" Iran's level of enrichment “has no civilian justification whatsoever” "That would be a great thing that we could have a deal without bombs being dropped all over the Middle East," Trump said.

AI Summary:
Volodymyr Zelenskyy possesses one unmistakable quality: courage. The comedian turned unlikely wartime leader did not flinch. He stood his ground – on the sacred soil of Ukraine. Trumpism thrives when opposition retreats. Absence creates space for extremism to entrench itself more deeply into America’s already frayed and discordant fabric. Withdrawal only comforts the Trumpists determined to quash dissent. Leaving can also be seen as an admission of defeat. Trump welcomes the idea of disheartened Americans building new lives in new places because he is president. It is, I suspect, a point of pride since it suggests his vindictive agenda is working. For Trump, the exodus of “liberal elites” or “out-of-touch” entertainers is proof that the old establishment, never subscribers to his jejune notion of America’s “greatness” is being replaced by “authentic” patriots. Trumpism thrives on spectacle, and few understand potency of spectacle better than celebrities. Many bidding America adieu did so defiantly, wielding a righteous pulpit from foreign shores. Even so, symbolism without substance is hollow. Returning means tackling – head-on – the mess.

AI Summary:
Iran has increased its stockpile of highly enriched, near weapons-grade uranium by 50 percent in the last three months. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report comes as nuclear deal negotiations are under way between the United States and Iran. Tehran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only. Iran has amassed 408.6kg - the only non-nuclear weapon state to do so. Iran reached a deal with the United Kingdom, US, Germany, France, Russia, China and the European Union in 2015. In 2018, then US President Trump unilaterally quit the agreement and reimposed harsh sanctions. Tehran then rebuilt its stockpiles of enriched uranium. Western nations say such intensive enrichment should not be part of a civilian nuclear programme.
