Turkey mediating Somalia-Ethiopia talks on port deal
Turkey has begun mediating talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a port deal Addis Ababa signed with the breakaway region of Somaliland earlier this year, Ankara and four officials familiar with the matter said.
The negotiations are the latest attempt to mend diplomatic ties between the East African neighbours, whose relationship soured in January when Ethiopia agreed to lease 20 km (12 miles) of coastline from Somaliland, in exchange for recognition of its independence.
Mogadishu called the agreement illegal and retaliated by expelling the Ethiopian ambassador and threatening to kick out thousands of Ethiopian troops stationed in the country helping battle Islamist insurgents.
Turkey's foreign ministry said Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had hosted both his Ethiopian and Somali counterparts in Ankara, adding the three had signed a joint statement following "candid, cordial and forward-looking" talks on their differences.
The Somali and Ethiopian ministers discussed ways to address their differences "within a mutually acceptable framework", and agreed to hold another round of talks in Ankara on Sept. 2, the statement said.
"The Ministers of Somalia and Ethiopia reiterated their commitment to the peaceful resolution of differences," it added.
Spokespeople for the Somali government and Ethiopia's foreign ministry, government and intelligence service did not immediately respond to requests for comment. (Reuters) .
Israel FM to Iran: regime threatening destruction deserves destruction.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Saturday that Iran's message of an "obliterating war" made it worthy of destruction.
⁠"A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed," Katz said in a post on X. He also said Israel will act with full force against Iran-backed Hezbollah if it does not stop firing at Israel from Lebanon and move away from the border.
Iran's UN mission said on Friday that if Israel embarks on a "full-scale military aggression" in Lebanon, "an obliterating war will ensue."
The Iranian mission also said in the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that in such an event "all options, incl. the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table."
Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israel since October, in parallel with the Gaza war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said this week they prefer a diplomatic path to resolving the situation. www.reuters.com/world/middle-...

Israeli forces batter central, south Gaza as tanks advance in Rafah
With a renewed ceasefire push in the eight-month-old Gaza war stalled, Israel bombarded central and southern areas again on Friday, killing at least 28 Palestinians, and tank forces advanced to the western edges of Rafah.
U.S.-backed Qatari and Egyptian mediators have tried again this week to reconcile clashing demands preventing a halt to the hostilities, a release of Israeli hostages and Palestinians jailed in Israel, and an unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza to alleviate a humanitarian disaster. But sources close to the talks said there were still no signs of a breakthrough. (Reuters).
HRW says will welcome UN decision to add Israeli army to child-harm blacklist
UN Director for Human Rights Watch Louis Charbonneau says if the UN decision to add Israel to a blacklist of countries that harm children was true, it was a “thoroughly justified” step.
The annual Children and Armed Conflict report from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is not due to be published until June 18.
However, Israel’s UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, went public after receiving notification of Israel’s inclusion on the list of countries that do not take adequate measures to shield children from conflict.
