Hezbulah says an extension of the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon “will not be acceptable”

The Lebanese Shii group Hizbulá warned on Thursday that a postponement of the withdrawal of the Israeli troops present in Lebanon, which must be completed in the next three days, will not be “acceptable”, and asked the Government to act to enforce the deadline established by the ceasefire agreement.
“We will follow the evolution of the situation that is supposed to culminate in the coming days with a total withdrawal. No violation of the agreement and its guarantees will be acceptable, and no attempt to evade them under futile premises,” the political and armed movement said in a statement.
This Sunday expires the ceasefire agreement between the parties, which stipulates the end of the invasion initiated by Israel on October 1 in a period of 60 days, the exit of Hizbula from the border strip and a greater deployment of the Lebanese Army in that region.
The Israeli ambassador to the United States, Mike Herzog, told Army radio on Thursday that they are maintaining contacts with Washington, mediator of the pact, to extend the implementation deadline, while Hebrew media reported an alleged request for an extension of 30 additional days.
“Some leaks that speak of the enemy postponing his withdrawal and staying longer in Lebanon call for everyone to act effectively, especially the political authorities of Lebanon to pressure the countries that sponsor the agreement,” Hezbulá demanded in his statement.
He also urged them to proceed in the coming days in a way that guarantees the deployment of the Lebanese Army “to the last inch of territory” and not to allow any “pretext or argument” to prolong the Israeli invasion of the south of the country.
The Shiite formation warned that a breach of the date will mean a “flagrant” violation of the pact and the beginning of a “new chapter of occupation”, so the Lebanese State must address the matter using “all” the means guaranteed by international laws.
Since the entry into force of the agreement, on November 27, Israeli troops have withdrawn from almost the entire western sector of the border strip and the Lebanese Army has been deployed in about 80 new points, but with only three days to go, there is still a long way to complete the process.

Arsenal stun Real Madrid at the Bernabéu to reach Champions League semifinals

Arsenal enjoyed a “historic night” on Wednesday after defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, knocking them out of the Champions League quarterfinals, midfielder Declan Rice said.
“It’s such a special night for this club, a historic night for this club,” said Rice, who scored twice in the first leg in London, speaking to TNT Sports.
The English international was named Man of the Match in both legs — the 3-0 win in London and the second leg in Madrid.
“It’s amazing. I knew we were on an upward trajectory and we’ve done incredibly well in this competition. We deserve it and we have full confidence in our coach. Reaching the semifinals is unbelievable,” Rice added.

DeSantis’ immigration crackdown sparks alarm in Venezuelan Communities in Doral

Florida, the U.S. state with the third-largest immigrant population, has become the most aggressive in targeting undocumented immigrants, largely due to pressure from Governor Ron DeSantis. This shift has led Latino-majority cities like Orlando and Doral to authorize their police forces to assist in immigration enforcement.
In Doral — part of the greater Miami area where 70.7% of residents are immigrants and 48% are of Venezuelan origin — the City Council is expected to approve a measure this Wednesday allowing local police to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite opposition from neighborhood groups and human rights activists.
“It’s yet another betrayal,” said Susana Ríos, a 57-year-old Venezuelan woman currently under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), whose extension was denied by the White House and is now being challenged in court.
Meanwhile, José González, a 21-year-old immigrant, said he feels “abandoned.” He can’t stop thinking about the images of Venezuelans deported to El Salvador without due process. “We’re all in danger,” he warned.

Bogotá residents line up for yellow fever vaccine amid national alert

David Suárez went to a public health center in Bogotá on Wednesday to get vaccinated against yellow fever. It wasn’t originally in his plans, but he responded to a call made just hours earlier by President Gustavo Petro, who announced he will declare a health and economic emergency due to a new outbreak of the disease that has already left more than 30 people dead, mostly in the central-western region of the country.
“I got vaccinated for two reasons: first, for my own health because I’m traveling, and second, for a social reason — simply to follow the president’s guidance and be aware that this is a problem for all of us,” said Suárez, a 39-year-old teacher, to The Associated Press.
Like Suárez, dozens of people were waiting in line for the vaccine at Bogotá’s main intercity bus terminal, a key transportation hub especially crowded during travel seasons like Holy Week.
The teacher is traveling with his family to the department of Huila, which has activated a contingency plan due to its proximity to Tolima — the epicenter of the yellow fever outbreak — where a state of public calamity has been declared.
