Italian PM Giorgia Meloni announces suspension of military cooperation with Israel. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that Italy will suspend the automatic renewal of its defense cooperation agreement with Israel. The pact, originally signed in 2003, allowed cooperation on military technology, research, and joint training between the two countries.  Meloni said the decision was taken “in view of the current situation” in the Middle East, as tensions continue to rise following conflicts involving Israel and regional actors.  The move also follows recent diplomatic tensions after incidents affecting Italian UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, which increased pressure on Rome to reconsider its military ties with Israel.  #britainchronicle #italy #israel #meloni #geopolitics

The Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has officially ruled out any participation in military missions in the Strait. Defense Minister Margarita Robles and Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares have labeled the current U.S.-led military actions as "illegal" and "reckless." ​Spain refuses to allow NATO as an organization to launch a collective mission. Since NATO operates on consensus, Spain’s opposition (along with countries like Germany and Italy) effectively blocks a formal NATO-branded operation. ​Airspace and Base Restrictions: Spain has gone further than just a diplomatic "no." They have banned U.S. military aircraft from using jointly operated bases in southern Spain and have closed Spanish airspace to flights involved in the Middle East strikes. Reuters

In parts of Italy, shepherds use donkeys to carry newborn lambs down steep mountain paths . The lambs ride in specially designed saddles with pouch-like pockets, while the rest of the flock travels on foot during seasonal journeys. This tradition is part of Transhumance, the movement of livestock between pastures . Recognized by UNESCO in 2019, it remains an important cultural practice connecting people, animals, and nature.
