The United States asks for support from the United Arab Emirates to mitigate the crisis between Israel and Palestine
The Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, asked his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for support to achieve a de-escalation of the crisis between Israel and Palestine.
The head of US diplomacy and the Emirati Foreign Minister held a telephone conversation on Saturday after several days of tension in the region, the State Department said in a statement on Sunday.
“Secretary Blinken urged calm during religious festivities in the region and stressed the urgency of reducing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians,” the note details.
Two attacks carried out by Palestinians, one in the occupied West Bank and another in Tel Aviv, left three people dead on Friday, two Israelis and an Italian tourist.
These episodes occurred after the exchange of fire between the Israeli Army and Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, triggered by clashes at dawn on Wednesday between Israeli police and Palestinian worshipers at the Al Aqsa Mosque in occupied east Jerusalem. .

The Colombian authorities arrested seven people who made up the “Family Clan”, a group accused of recruiting young women to sexually exploit them in Chile, the Prosecutor’s Office reported this Sunday.

“Apparently, they processed their passports, provided them with air tickets to take them from Pereira to Bogotá, and, later, to Chile where they retained their documents and placed them in brothels in the cities of Osorno, Puerto Montt and Temuco” added the information.
