King David Hotel bombing
--- Quote ---
> The British administrative headquarters for Mandatory
Palestine, housed in the southern wing[1] of the King David
Hotel in Jerusalem, were bombed in a terrorist attack[2][3] on
July 22, 1946, by the militant right-wing[4] Zionist underground
organization the Irgun during the Jewish insurgency.[5][6][7] 91
people of various nationalities were killed, including Arabs,
Britons and Jews, and 46 were injured.[8]
>
> The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British
Mandatory authorities of Palestine, principally the Secretariat
of the Government of Palestine and the Headquarters of the
British Armed Forces in Palestine and Transjordan.[8][9] When
planned, the attack had the approval of the Haganah, the
principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine, though,
unbeknownst to the Irgun, this had been cancelled by the time
the operation was carried out. The main motive of the bombing
was to destroy documents incriminating the Jewish Agency in
attacks against the British, which were obtained during
Operation Agatha, a series of raids by mandate authorities. It
was the deadliest attack directed at the British during the
Mandate era (1920–1948).[8][9]
>
> Disguised as Arab workmen and as hotel waiters, members of the
Irgun planted a bomb in the basement of the main building of the
hotel, whose southern wing housed the Mandate Secretariat and a
few offices of the British military headquarters. The resulting
explosion caused the collapse of the western half of the
southern wing of the hotel.[9] Some of the deaths and injuries
occurred in the road outside the hotel and in adjacent
buildings.[9]
>
> Controversy has arisen over the timing and adequacy of any
warnings.[9] The Irgun stated subsequently that warnings were
delivered by telephone; Thurston Clarke states that the first
warning was delivered by a 16-year-old recruit to the hotel
switchboard 15 minutes before the explosion. The British
Government said after the inquest that no warning had been
received by anyone at the Secretariat "in an official position
with any power to take action."[10]...

Are Serbia-Turkey Relations Collapsing?
--- Quote ---
> Have ties between Serbia and Turkey reached breaking point?
After years of each country appearing well-disposed to the
other, relations between Belgrade and Ankara have now come under
increasing pressure. Once historic rivals divided by centuries
of conflict under the Ottoman Empire, the two states surprised
many by forging a strong partnership throughout the 2010s and
early 2020s. Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Serbia's
Aleksandar Vučić developed close ties, boosting trade,
infrastructure, and defence cooperation, even managing to keep
their differences over Kosovo largely in check. As a result,
Turkish investment transformed parts of Serbia, while Ankara
viewed Belgrade as a vital bridge to Europe.
>
> Nevertheless, beneath the surface, it appears long-standing
mutual mistrust had endured, with the relationship now shaken by
reports Turkey supplied drones to Kosovo, triggering outrage in
Belgrade and accusations of "neo-Ottoman ambitions" from
Vučić himself. In this video, I trace the evolution of
this unlikely partnership, analyse why tensions have re-emerged,
and weigh the broader implications for Balkan stability. Is this
merely a diplomatic spat or the start of a deeper geopolitical
rift? From the legacy of Ottoman rule to modern Serbian-Turkish
relations, the video considers the fragile balance between
cooperation and rivalry, and how shifting alliances could yet
reshape regional security, NATO interests, and European
diplomacy in the Western Balkans.

Russia raises tensions as Turkey steps into Black Sea dispute |
Eastern Express
--- Quote ---
> Turkey says it is ready to take the lead in Black Sea security
after a series of Russia-linked tanker incidents, amid rising
naval drone strikes and explosions at sea.
>
> Turkish shipping giant Beşiktaş Shipping has already
halted all Russia-related voyages after one of its tankers was
damaged off Senegal — a signal that the war is now hitting
global maritime logistics and insurance markets, with premiums
spiking across the region.
>
> In this episode of Eastern Express, we examine what the
literal and figurative sinking of Russia’s “shadow fleet” means
for Moscow, for Turkey, and for the future of maritime trade.
The war that began in trenches is now being fought under waves
and through pipelines — and the stakes are rising fast.

of three Turkish vessels in Odesa.

vessel VIVA in the Black Sea. This matters for Turkey, maritime
security, and Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s “shadow

sea, both those that serve Ukraine’s legitimate and legal export
needs, and those that form part of Russia grey fleet trading
illegally in oil.

drone — a vessel carrying sunflower oil to Egypt — inside what
Ukraine describes as a protected coastal “grain corridor.” And
it happened within hours of Erdoğan raising port strikes
