Bahrain seeks to boost space collaboration with Israel

 Bahraini Ambassador to Israel, Khalid Yousif Al-Jalahma, seeks to boost space collaboration with Israel. He has discussed ways to bolster space cooperation with Israel during a meeting with the CEO of Bahrain’s National Space Science Agency (NSSA), Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Asiri. 

The officials discussed the ways of the potential cooperation between NSSA and the authorities in Israel in the field of space and advanced sciences. Al-Jalahma said Israel will support NSSA’s efforts in developing the space sector in Bahrain. 

Bahrain’s space policies were also discussed during the meeting. The authorities also reviewed NSSA’s strategic plan for 2018-2023. The first Bahraini-built satellite is also set to launch by December 2023. The project is part of NSSA’s strategy to enhance national capabilities by qualifying Bahraini youth for creativity and excellence in the field of science and space. The project will begin with the launch of the first Bahraini-built satellite and end in 2028.

Last week, Bahrain’s commander of the royal guard told about the country’s first 100 percent locally-built satellite. A group of qualified Bahraini youth in the field of space science and technology will contribute to building the satellite, according to His Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa.

During the meeting, Al-Asiri also wished Al-Jalahma success in his diplomatic role in Israel. Al-Jalahma was appointed as the first Bahraini ambassador to Israel in 2021. He established formal relations with Bahrain in 2020 under the United States-brokered Abraham Accords.

Last week, Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, NSSA Board of Directors Chairman, thanked His Highness for his support for Bahrain’s Space Team. He revealed that His Highness motivated them to develop the satellite.

The NSSA was established by a Royal Decree to promote Bahrain to a position of international prominence in the field of space science. The agency has been working with ministries in the Kingdom to provide enhanced space-based technology services to the country.

The Shocking Hospital Murder Video Exposing Al Julani Group’s Inhumanity in Syria

-
  The Inhuman Reality of a Gruesome Video There is a very disturbing video possibly shot in Syria, that clearly show the enemies of mankind in war crimes. It shows Al Julani’s group killing injured soldiers in a hospital – soldiers who are on the ground, strapped to bandages and wires, powerless to fight back. Such a calculated violence in a structure that is intended for healing resonates violence that has become part and parcel of this conflict. Such gruesome footage raises critical questions: At what point can a faction go in order to subdue another faction and where does the line between war and simple manslaughter lie? A Violation of Moral and Ethical Boundaries Hospitals are always seen as a safe place universally, even when there is war going on. According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), such acts took place during the Dawn of Freedom military operation conducted by Turkish-backed groups against the SDF. These fighters are wrong on so many levels – indeed t...

Iran Enters the Sudanese Nationwide conflict

  Iran might be going to lose its partner Hamas, which Israel looks to overcome. Yet, is it likewise going to acquire another accomplice, Sudan, on the western side of the Red Ocean? Just business as usual in Sudan. For quite a long time the nation experienced nationwide conflict and starvation, set off by strict contentions and battles for power between the middle and the fringe, finishing quite a while back in the public authority's mission of slaughters focusing on African ethnic gatherings in the defiant region of Darfur. There was a concise time of trust in 2018 - 2022 when Sudanese rampaged to oust the tactical legislature of General Omar Bashir, who partook in the sponsorship of worldwide Islamists, including the Muslim Fellowship. In October 2020, the temporary government even marked (yet didn't endorse) a standardization concurrence with Israel. From that point forward, the nation's expectations for a quiet change to a majority rules system have been run. In April ...

TikTok Vows Legal Battle Against Potential US Ban

 TikTok is facing a potential ban in the US and is gearing up for a legal fight. A recently signed law forces the popular video app's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operations within nine months or face a shutdown. The US government alleges that ByteDance's ties to China pose a national security risk, with concerns about user data collection. TikTok vehemently denies these accusations and argues the law is a de facto ban. "Make no mistake, this is a ban," declared TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew in a video message. He portrayed the move as an attack on free speech and user expression, claiming the platform reflects American values. TikTok plans to challenge the law in court, citing potential First Amendment violations. The company isn't alone in its resistance. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has also voiced concerns about the law's precedent for government control over social media. This situation highlights the ongoing friction between the US an...
