It's not surprising that Qatar is interested in picking up Rosneft's assets in Germany, given their existing strong ties with Russia. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which is Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, already owns nearly 19% of Rosneft’s shares, a stake they acquired back in 2016. This move was a significant step in bolstering economic connections between Russia and Qatar. If this deal goes through, it could further deepen those ties and give Qatar even more influence in Europe's energy sector.

For all Iranian women.
Jina (Mahsa) Amini was a Kurd.

 

On June 29, Russian forces brought in military reinforcements to Al-Izaah base, six kilometers west of Kobani, which they established on June 13, after it was evacuated years ago. The reinforcements arrived from Sarrin Airport in Aleppo countryside, to be transported by land to the base. The reinforcements include weapons, ammunition, military vehicles and dozens of soldiers.

 

Just Kurds or also Ukrainian forces in Syria giving them a hard time?

Considering your previous post and now this, it is clear your posts are in bad faith.
I'll answer for the sake of others reading these comments.

First of all, Ashkenazi Jewish women aren't all Jewish women. Most Jews in Israel aren't Ashkenazi.
Either way, the study you linked to is the only study out of several that has met criticism from several geneticists and researchers.
There are several other studies that show mt-DNA of middle eastern origin.
They are all referred to in this Wikipedia page under "Maternal line".

Second, we're talking about ethnicity here, not religion. Jews are also an ethnic group. Y-DNA is very relevant.

They outlawed private DNA testing. As the article you linked to points out and explains.

This law was designed to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals and their families from the misuse of genetic information. According to this law, it is illegal to use a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing kit in Israel, unless you have a court order or a special permission from the Ministry of Health.

The law does not apply to all types of genetic testing

Another possibility is to use a DNA testing service that is authorized by the Israeli Ministry of Health

And there's plenty of research that shows all Jews share a common genetic lineage to other groups in the middle east like Syrians and Lebanese.
One example: Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes

A solar well went into operation a few days ago in Dêrik in Northern and Eastern Syria. The well in the Şehid Xebat district is a central component of the district's water supply after the infrastructure in large parts of the region was destroyed by air strikes by the Turkish military. The project, funded by the Berlin State Office for Development Cooperation (LEZ), was implemented by the Berlin twin town partnership Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg – Dêrik together with the city administration in Dêrik and the "Make Rojava Green Again" initiative.

Yes, he was the Hamas leader in the Gaza strip.

The whole mess started exactly because Haniyeh was a hardliner that wasn't willing to accept any previous agreements the PLO had already made.

Hamas took over Gaza shortly after agreeing to a unity government with Fatah.

The point is, there wasn't much of a difference between Haniyeh and Sinwar.

I still don't understand how anyone calls Haniyeh a "moderate".
This is the guy who was the leader of Hamas in Gaza when they took control from Fatah by throwing officials from buildings and shooting into crowds of their supporters.

Every step they took since the 7th of October was only with Sinwar's approval anyway. Nothing has actually changed in that manner.

There are plenty of companies with R&D centers in Israel. Including Chinese companies like Xiaomi.
Haven't heard of anyone closing up shop.

Moderate?
The guy who lead Hamas when they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters?
That under him Hamas charter included this very moderate part

“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”

He wasn't a moderate in any way, and it's bizarre to see people referring to him in this way.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Israel
Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.

And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it's not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.

Lying about what?

The subject of this thread is about a strike on an army compound. That's not a war crime.
