Trump tells the Palestinian president that he will “work to stop the war” in Gaza
The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, assured Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas in a telephone conversation that he “will work to stop the war” in Gaza, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Friday.
“President Trump said that he will work to stop the war and that he is willing to work with President Abbas and stakeholders in the region and the world to achieve peace in the region,” WAFA said.
In the call, the Palestinian president expressed his willingness to work with Trump “to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on international legitimacy.”
He also congratulated Trump on his victory in the presidential elections on the 5th and wished him “success” in his new mandate to “guide the United States of America towards progress and prosperity.”
“Working for Israel’s security”
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also held a telephone conversation with Trump, in which they agreed to “work together for the security of Israel.”
“The prime minister was one of the first to call the US president-elect. The conversation was warm and cordial. Both agreed to work together for the security of Israel and also talked about the Iranian threat,” said a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office at the time.
At least 43,508 have died in Gaza and 102,684 people have been injured since Israel launched its offensive on the devastated enclave 13 months ago.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
