Netanyahu accuses the UK, France and Canada of ‘enabling Hamas’

Published

on


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not hold back in his criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. 

The Israeli leader’s condemnation comes after the U.K., France and Canada issued a joint statement demanding that Israel end its military campaign in Gaza.

In a video statement released on Thursday, Netanyahu said Hamas does not want a Palestinian state; rather, the terror group wants the destruction of the state of Israel. He questioned how this «simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others.» Netanyahu went on to accuse the U.K., France and Canada of giving Hamas «the ultimate prize» in their insistence on the establishment of a Palestinian state.

«Well, for 18 years we had a de facto Palestinian state. It’s called Gaza. And what did we get? Peace? No. We got the most savage slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust,» Netanyahu said in the video statement.

Hamas issued a statement thanking the U.K., France and Canada for «rejecting the policy of siege and starvation pursued by the occupation government against our people in the Gaza Strip, and the Zionist plans aimed at genocide and displacement,» according to the Jerusalem Post.

The terror organization also urged Arab and Islamic countries, the European Union and others «to take urgent action and adopt firm positions and concrete measures to halt the barbaric Zionist aggression,» among other things.

«I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer: When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice,» Netanyahu said in a video statement on Thursday. «You’re on the wrong side of humanity and you’re on the wrong side of history.»

Netanyahu went on to say that while Starmer, Macron and Carney may think they are «advancing peace,» they’re actually «emboldening Hamas to continue fighting forever.»

In response to a Fox News Digital request for comment on Netanyahu’s statement, Starmer’s office pointed to the prime minister’s post on X condemning the murders of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.

«I thoroughly condemn the antisemitic attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. Antisemitism is an evil we must stamp out wherever it appears. My thoughts are with their colleagues, family and loved ones, and, as always, I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community.»

Netanyahu also spoke about the murdered embassy employees, saying the two «weren’t the victims of a random crime. The terrorist who cruelly gunned them down did so for one reason and one reason alone – he wanted to kill Jews.»

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered on Wednesday night outside an event at D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum. The two met at the embassy, fell in love, and were supposed to travel to Israel next week, where Lischinsky planned to propose.

Government shutdown enters 3rd day as Senate stalemate over Obamacare subsidies drags on

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The federal government entered its third day of a shutdown without a clear off-ramp in sight as the Senate gears up to once again vote on a short-term funding extension Friday.

Lawmakers will again vote on the GOP’s continuing resolution (CR) and congressional Democrats’ counter-proposal on Friday. There’s been little movement on Capitol Hill since the last failed vote, given that some either left Washington, D.C., or did not come to the Hill, in observance of Yom Kippur.

In fact, the Senate floor was open for less than three hours on Thursday, with only a handful of lawmakers giving remarks to a mostly empty chamber.

DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO BUDGE OVER OBAMACARE FIGHT AS SHUTDOWN DRAGS ON

Republicans hope that more Senate Democrats will peel off and vote for their bill, but it’s unlikely. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and most of his caucus are firmly rooted in their position that expiring Obamacare tax credits must be dealt with now.

And Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he isn’t planning on keeping lawmakers in town over the weekend if the House GOP’s bill fails for a fourth time. Still, bipartisan talks are happening among the rank-and-file members to find some way to reopen the government.

«I’m glad that people are talking,» Thune said. «I think there are a lot of Democrats who want out of this, you know, grapple that Schumer is running now, so I’m hoping that perhaps that will lead somewhere. But it all starts with what I’ve said before, reopen the government, and I think that’s what we got to have … happen first.»

There are some ideas being tossed back and forth among Senate Republicans and Democrats, like agreeing to work on the subsidies until Nov. 21 under the GOP plan, or compromising on a shorter CR that lasts until Nov. 1 to coincide with the beginning of open-enrollment for Obamacare.

«We’re not asking for a full repair of a broken system,» Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said. «We understand how badly the healthcare system is working, but it’s going to be so much worse if the Republicans continue on this path of cutting healthcare for millions of Americans.»

Thune threw cold water on the latter idea.

«Well, and what’s the House going to come back and vote on, a one-month as opposed to seven weeks? I mean, think about this right now. We’re really kind of quibbling over pretty, pretty small stuff,» he said.

Schumer made clear over the last several days that he wants bipartisan negotiations to craft a funding extension with Democratic and Republican input, but the GOP argues that their bill, which is backed by President Donald Trump, would unlock future bipartisan negotiations on spending bills.

But Republicans argue that his insistence on negotiating is more about political optics than actually finding a path out of the shutdown.

«This Democrat shutdown is nothing but a cynical political shutdown, with Senator Schumer kowtowing to his radical left-wing extremists,» Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said on the Senate floor. «He’s desperately recoiling, fighting to stave off a primary and to save his party from the piranhas in their own midst.»

And while talks at the lower level are ongoing, some contend that ultimately it will be Trump’s decision on what happens next.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said on the Senate floor, «Unfortunately, right now, our Republican colleagues are not working with us to find a bipartisan agreement to prevent the government shutdown and address the healthcare crisis.»

«We know that even when they float ideas, which we surely do appreciate, in the end, the president appears to make the call,» Klobuchar said.

El gobierno uruguayo se niega a intervenir en el mercado del dólar y sugiere invertir en pesos

Published

on


El presidente de Uruguay Yamandú Orsi junto a su ministro de Economía, Gabriel Oddone (MEF)

La cotización del dólar se ha devaluado en torno a un 10% en lo que va del año, algo que está en línea con lo que sucede en el mercado global. La divisa estadounidense cerró el mes de septiembre a la baja y ya son ocho los meses en los que pierde valor en la comparación entre el primer día del mes y el último. Desde el sector exportador ven con preocupación este fenómeno porque aseguran que le genera una pérdida de competitividad. Pero el gobierno responde que tiene poco para hacer.

En el gobierno argumentan que la caída del dólar responde principalmente a causas externas. En Brasil, que es el principal mercado de referencia para Uruguay, su cotización tuvo la mayor caída mensual en septiembre y también presenta un retroceso grande en lo que va del año.

Los exportadores alertan que estas caídas podrían derivar en la fuga de algunas empresas. “Es siempre un factor de preocupación porque las exportaciones se venden en dólares y esos dólares rinden cada vez menos para pagar todas las cuentas en pesos, ya sea salarios, tarifas públicas, impuestos”, explicó a Canal 5 la economista de la Unión de Exportadores María Laura Rodríguez.

Hubo, a su vez, una “alerta especial” para las empresas que exportan servicios. “Al no tener una infraestructura física, podrían cambiar de país. Muchas de ellas tienen dependencias en distintos países y pueden comparar los costos de trabajar en un país y en otro. Vienen planteando que las casas matrices les dicen: ‘Defendeme por qué Uruguay’. Están teniendo cada vez menos elementos por un tema básicamente de competitividad”, señaló la economista.

Durante una gira por el interior del país, el ministro de Economía, Gabriel Oddone, respondió estos planteos y negó que el gobierno vaya a intervenir en el mercado. “A diferencia de lo que pasó en los últimos cuatro años cuando la apreciación del peso uruguayo era un evento espurio –que ocurría en Uruguay pero que no estaba ocurriendo en el mundo–, lo que está ocurriendo hoy con el peso uruguayo va en línea con lo que está ocurriendo a nivel global”, explicó el ministro en una conferencia de prensa consignada por Telemundo de Canal 12.

El foco del equipo económico está puesto en que haya condiciones para que la inflación del país sea baja, algo que entienden que ayuda a la competitividad de los exportadores. Además, Oddone defendió algunas medidas que tomó el gobierno pensando en estos empresarios, como la eliminación de tasas.

Si bien históricamente el problema de la competitividad se ata al dólar, el gobierno de Yamandú Orsi busca desligar estos dos conceptos. “El gobierno no tiene vocación por fijar el precio del dólar (…). Para el gobierno el dólar no constituye un objetivo de política”, expresó y pidió que los uruguayos aprendan que en el país “no hay control de precios”.

En el gobierno hay una fuerte apuesta por desdolarizar la economía, en un contexto en el que la suba de los precios está consolidad. El presidente del Banco Central del Uruguay, Guillermo Tolosa, hizo explícita esta sugerencia días atrás: “No vengo a decir que hay que invertir en pesos porque no sé lo que va a pasar de acá a tres meses. Pero algo que sí sé es que si invertís en dólares tu poder adquisitivo va a ser muy volátil. Es una especie de timba de casino donde poder invertir y perder en el corto plazo y a largo plazo perdés siempre. Cuando invertís en UI o en pesos tu poder adquisitivo va a estar estable”, explicó.

Este miércoles, el ministro Oddone dijo estar de acuerdo con él. “En estos contextos de inflación baja, cualquiera que haga los números puede encontrar que es muchísimo más rentable ahorrar en pesos que en dólares. Por supuesto que hay un riesgo en el que se incurre: una eventual devaluación. En Uruguay no tiene lugar una devaluación en escalón desde hace 20 años”, expresó.
