Israel Passed Bills Banning UNRWA

UNRWA Banned
Last 28 October, the Israel Knesset parliament passed a pair of very important bills that seeks to prohibit the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency from operating in the Middle Eastern country. It was widely supported by the Israel public, but prompted swift and strong condemnation from a few countries.

Yahya Sinwar Found Carrying UN Documents

UNRWA
After they confirmed the death of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli television started airing videos of what the soldiers found in his pockets: A pack of Mentos, a lighter, prayer beads, and a large wad of cash — all ordinary stuff.

HOwever, there was one more item on Sinwar’s person that is very concerning. He was carrying an official document identifying him as an employee of UNRWA, the United Nations agency that was established exclusively to help Palestinian refugees, and which has tragically become indistinguishable from Hamas.

Sweden Quran
The Swedish government has made a startling revelation when it accused Iran last 24 September of being responsible for thousands of text messages sent to people in Sweden calling for revenge over the burnings of Islam's holy book in 2023. Iran has vehemently denied the accusation.

According to authorities in Stockholm, the Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard carried out a cyberattack, which hacked an SMS service and sent "some 15,000 text messages in Swedish". This was allegedly in response to a string of public burnings of the Quran that took place over several months in Sweden during the summer of 2023.

A Hezbollah official told the Wall Street Journal that the group had recently received a new shipment of pagers, which are old-school wireless devices — so retro that they were name-checked by NWA in the late 1980s — that generally only receive and display messages.

China Strengthened Its Surveillance Capability

Chinese Surveillance
Chinese officials may have improved their ability to catch terror suspects and government threats with new and advance technology. As an example, it took them just seven minutes to locate and apprehend BBC reporter John Sudworth using its powerful network of CCTV camera and facial recognition technology.

This wasn't a case of a member of the media being forcibly removed from the country. The chase was a stunt set up to illustrate just how powerful and effective the Chinese government's surveillance system can be. It's a stark example of the type of monitoring that China has invested heavily in over recent years with the aim of helping police do their job more efficiently.
