#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

The @ICRC has dispatched 171 metric tonnes of relief items to Iran, in one of the first cross-border deliveries to the country in 6 weeks. 5 truckloads have already arrived. Nine more are en route. The overall shipment will support 25,000 people. 👇 icrc.org/en/news-releas…

@Lesjoursfr Sauf qu'en être soutenu et guidé par Dieu, et se représenter en Christ, cette fois, il y a une marge infranchissable pour les évangéliques fondamentalistes qui sont le coeur de son soutien depuis 2016. Et exigent que #Trump retire l'image. 4/wapo.st/4stvtL2

Très intéressante séquence à l'instant qui ajoute de l'eau au moulin d'une dysfonction du président D. #Trump dans son exercice du pouvoir. Hier soir très tard à D.C, il poste ceci sur son réseau Truth Social: une représentation de lui par I.A en Christ sauveur...1/ 🧵

BREAKING: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat to Peter Magyar after "painful" election result, ending 16 years in power. apnews.com/article/hungar…

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

Orban concedes and congratulates the new Hungarian PM: Peter Magyar

@pierrehaski Merci. J’ai trouvé. Pour l’instant je ne vois que l’épisode du 10 janvier. J’imagine que les autres vont arriver. Je suis aussi en train de lire votre livre 😉

Switzerland is redefining punctuality ⏱️🇨🇭 A new time standard pushes precision beyond the minute, down to the second. Swiss trains are now scheduled with second-level accuracy.

BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war. Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze. SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.” The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway. Here is why. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units. The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year. Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.” Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now. Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings. Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours. Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next? Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@VincentCrouzet4 @EdLObservatoire @EurekaParis5 PS j'ai dû attendre, car le livre était en rupture de stock en Suisse, une nouvelle en soi.

Très heureux des 4 pages d’itw données à Michel Bouffioux pour Paris Match Belgique… @EdLObservatoire @EurekaParis5

@VincentCrouzet4 @EdLObservatoire @EurekaParis5 En train de lire avec beaucoup d'intérêt et de plaisir, en tant qu'ancienne déléguée CICR en Afrique (Burundi) 😉. Merci!

C'est agréable d'entendre enfin la vérité... 😏
