PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SPEECH TO CONGRESS LESS BUTT HEAD
(LAFFIN) HARRIS AND AT LEAST 20 DEMOCRAPS WHO BOYCOTT.
IMPORTANT SPEECH PARTS
1-This
is not a clash of civilizations. It’s a clash between barbarism and
civilization. It’s a clash between those who glorify death and those who
sanctify life.
2-My friends,Defeating our brutal enemies
requires both courage and clarity. Clarity begins by knowing the
difference between good and evil. Yet incredibly many anti-Israel
protesters, many choose to stand with evil. They stand with Hamas. They
stand with rapists and murderers. They stand with people who came into
the kibbutzim, into a home, the parents hid the children, the two
babies, in the attic, in a secret attic. They murdered the family, the
parents, they found the secret latch to the hidden attic and then they
murdered the babies. These protesters stand with them. They should be ashamed of themselves.They
refuse to make the simple distinction between those who target
terrorists and those who target civilians, between the democratic State
of Israel and the terrorist thugs of Hamas. We
recently learned from the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, that
Iran is funding and promoting anti-Israel protests in America. They
want to disrupt America. So these protesters burned American flags even
on the 4th of July. And I wish to salute the fraternity brothers at the
University of North Carolina who protected the American flag, protected
the American flag against these anti-Israel protesters.For
all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on
right now outside this building—not that many, but they’re there—and
throughout the city. Well, I have a message for these protesters: When
the Tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for
not covering their hair, are praising, promoting and funding you, you
have officially become Iran’s useful idiots.It’s amazing, absolutely
amazing. Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming “Gays for
Gaza.” They might as well hold up signs saying “Chickens for KFC.”These
protesters chant “From the river to the sea.” But many don’t have a clue
what river and what sea they’re talking about. They not only
get an F in geography, they get an F in history. They call Israel a
colonialist state. Don’t they know that the Land of Israel is where
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob prayed, where Isaiah and Jeremiah preached and
where David and Solomon ruled?For
nearly four thousand years, the land of Israel has been the homeland of
the Jewish people. It’s always been our home; it will always be our
home.
ISRAEL AT WAR - DAY 293-PM's speech'Our
fight is your fight, our victory will be your victory' We’re protecting
you: Full text of Netanyahu’s address to Congress-PM thanks both Biden
and Trump, proposes new anti-Iranian ‘Abraham Alliance’ after Gaza
demilitarized, deradicalized-Today, 1:26 am-JUL 24,24
The
following is the full text of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech
before a joint session of Congress on July 25, 2024, as issued by his
office.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson,Senator Ben
Cardin,Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer,Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,Senators,Members of
Congress,Distinguished guests,Mr. Speaker, I want to thank you for
giving me the profound honor of addressing this great citadel of
democracy for the fourth time.We meet today at a crossroads of history.
Our world is in upheaval. In the Middle East, Iran’s axis of terror
confronts America, Israel and our Arab friends.This is not a clash of
civilizations. It’s a clash between barbarism and civilization. It’s a
clash between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life.For
the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand
together. Because when we stand together, something very simple happens.
We win. They lose.And my friends, I came to assure you today of one
thing: we will win.Ladies and gentlemen,Like December 7th, 1941, and
September 11th, 2001, October 7th is a day that will forever live in
infamy.It was the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. It began as a perfect
day. Not a cloud in the sky. Thousands of young Israelis were
celebrating at an outdoor music festival. And suddenly, at 6:29 a.m., as
children were still sleeping soundly in their beds in the towns and
kibbutzim next to Gaza, suddenly heaven turned into hell. Three thousand
Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel. They butchered 1,200 people from
41 countries, including 39 Americans. Proportionately, compared to our
population size, that’s like 20 9/11s in one day. And these monsters,
they raped women, they beheaded men, they burnt babies alive, they
killed parents in front of their children and children in front of their
parents. They dragged 255 people, both living in dead, into the dark
dungeons of Gaza.Israel has already brought home 135 of these hostages,
including seven who were freed in daring rescue operations. One of those
freed hostages, Noa Argamani, is here in the gallery sitting near my
wife Sara.On the morning of October 7th, the entire world saw Noa’s look
of desperation as she was violently abducted to Gaza on the back of a
motorcycle. I met Noa’s mother Liora a few months ago. She was dying of
cancer. She said to me, “Prime Minister, I have one final wish. I wish
to hug my daughter Noa one last time before I die.”Two months ago, I
authorized a breathtaking commando rescue operation. Our Special Forces,
including a heroic officer named Arnon Zmora, who fell in this battle,
rescued Noa and three other hostages.I think it’s one of the most moving
things, when Noa was reunited with her mother, Liora, and her mother’s
last wish came true.Noa, we’re so thrilled to have you with us today.
Thank you.Many hostage families are also here with us today, including
Eliyahu Bibas. Eliyahu Bibas is the grandfather of those two beautiful
red-headed boys, the Bibas boys, toddlers. And they were taken hostage
with their mother and Eliyahu’s son. The entire family was taken
hostage. Two beautiful red-haired children taken hostage. What
monsters.And with us also is Iris Haim, whose son Yotam bravely escaped
Hamas captivity with two other Israelis, and tragically they were killed
making their way back to our lines.We have with us also the families of
American hostages. They’re here.The pain these families have endured is
beyond words. I met with them again yesterday and I promised them this.
I will not rest until all their loved ones are home. All of them.As we
speak, we’re actively engaged in intensive efforts to secure their
release, and I’m confident that these efforts can succeed. Some of them
are taking place right now.I want to thank President Biden for his
tireless efforts on behalf of the hostages and for his efforts to the
hostage families as well.I thank President Biden for his heartful
support for Israel after the savage attack on October 7th. He rightly
called Hamas “sheer evil.” He dispatched two aircraft carriers to the
Middle East to deter a wider war. And he came to Israel to stand with us
during our darkest hour, a visit that will never be forgotten.President
Biden and I have known each other for over forty years. I want to thank
him for half a century of friendship to Israel and for being, as he
says, a proud Zionist. Actually, he says, a proud Irish American
Zionist.My friends, for more than nine months, Israel’s soldiers have
shown boundless courage.With us today is Lieutenant Avichail Reuven.
Avichail is an officer in the Israeli paratroopers. His family
immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia. In the early hours of October 7th,
Avichail heard the news of Hamas’ bloody rampage. He put on his uniform,
grabbed his rifle, but he didn’t have a car. So he ran eight miles to
the frontlines of Gaza to defend his people. You heard that right. He
ran eight miles, came to the frontlines, killed many terrorists and
saved many, many lives. Avichail, we all honor your remarkable
heroism.Another Israeli is with us here today. He’s standing right next
to Avichail. This is Master Sergeant Ashraf al Bahiri. Ashraf is a
Bedouin soldier from the Israeli Muslim community of Rahat. On October
7th, Ashraf too killed many terrorists. First, he defended his comrades
in the military base, and he then rushed to defend the neighboring
communities, including the devastated community of Kibbutz Be’eri.Like
Ashraf, the Muslim soldiers of the IDF fought alongside their Jewish,
Druze, Christian and other comrades in arms with tremendous bravery.A
third hero, Lieutenant Asa Sofer is also here with us. Asa fought as an
officer in the tank corps, and he was wounded in battle. He was wounded
in battle while protecting his fellow soldiers from a grenade. He lost
his right arm and the vision in his left eye. He’s recovering, and
incredibly, within a short time, Asa will soon return to active duty as a
commander of a tank company.I just learned there’s a fourth hero here –
Lieutenant Yonatan, Jonathan Ben Hamo who lost a leg in Gaza and
continued to fight.My friends, these are the soldiers of Israel—unbowed,
undaunted, unafraid.As the Bible says, “עם כלביא יקום” —they shall rise
like lions. They’ve risen like lions, the lions of Judah, the lions of
Israel.Ladies and Gentlemen,The men and women of the IDF come from every
corner of Israeli society, every ethnicity, every color, every creed,
left and right, religious and secular. All are imbued with the
indomitable spirit of the Maccabees, the legendary Jewish warriors of
antiquity.With us today is Yechiel Leiter, the father of one of those
Maccabees. Yehiel’s father escaped the Holocaust and found refuge in
America. As a young man, Yechiel moved to Israel and raised a family of
eight children. He named his eldest son Moshe after his late father.
Moshe became an exemplary officer in one of our elite commando units. He
served with distinction for two decades while raising six beautiful
children of his own.On October 7th, Moshe volunteered to return to
combat. Four weeks later, he was killed when a booby-trap mine exploded
in a tunnel shaft right next to a Mosque. At his son’s funeral Yechiel
said this: “If the State of Israel had not been established after the
Holocaust, the image engraved in our collective memory would have been
the photograph of that helpless Jewish boy in the Warsaw Ghetto holding
his hands up in the air with Nazi riffles pointed at him. But because of
the birth of Israel,” Yechiel continued, “because of the courage of
soldiers like my son Moshe, the Jewish people are no longer helpless in
the face of our enemies.”Yechiel, please rise so we can honor your son’s
sacrifice. And I pledge to you and to all the bereaved families of
Israel, some of whom are in this hall today, the sacrifice of your loved
ones will not be in vain. It will not be in vain because for Israel,
“never again” must never be an empty promise. It must always remain a
sacred vow. And after October 7th, “never again” is now.
My
friends,Defeating our brutal enemies requires both courage and clarity.
Clarity begins by knowing the difference between good and evil. Yet
incredibly many anti-Israel protesters, many choose to stand with evil.
They stand with Hamas. They stand with rapists and murderers. They stand

But many don’t have a clue what river and what sea they’re talking
about. They not only get an F in geography, they get an F in history.
They call Israel a colonialist state. Don’t they know that the Land of
Israel is where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob prayed, where Isaiah and
Jeremiah preached and where David and Solomon ruled?For nearly four
thousand years, the land of Israel has been the homeland of the Jewish
people. It’s always been our home; it will always be our home.It’s not
only the campus protesters who get it wrong. It’s also the people who
run those campuses. Eighty years after the Holocaust, the presidents of
Harvard, Penn, and I’m ashamed to say my alma mater MIT couldn’t bring
themselves to condemn the calls for the genocide of Jews. Remember what
they said? They said, it depends on the context. Well, let me give these
befuddled academics a little context.Antisemitism is the world’s oldest
hatred. For centuries, the massacre of Jews was always preceded by wild
accusations. We were accused of everything from poisoning wells to
spreading plagues to using the blood of slaughtered children to bake
Passover matzos. These preposterous antisemitic lies led to persecution,
mass murder and ultimately to history’s worst genocide, the
Holocaust.Now, just as malicious lies were levelled for centuries at the
Jewish people, malicious lies are now being levelled at the Jewish
state. No, no. Don’t applaud. Listen. The outrageous slanders that paint
Israel as racist and genocidal are meant to delegitimize Israel, to
demonize the Jewish State and to demonize Jews everywhere. And no
wonder, no wonder we’ve witnessed an appalling rise of antisemitism in
America and around the world.My friends,Whenever and wherever we see the
scourge of antisemitism, we must unequivocally condemn it and
resolutely fight it, without exception.And don’t be fooled when the
blood libels against the Jewish State come from people who wear fancy
silk robes and speak in lofty tones about law and Justice.Here’s a case
in point: The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has
shamefully accused Israel of deliberately starving the people of Gaza.
This is utter complete nonsense. It’s a complete fabrication. Israel has
enabled more than 40,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. That’s half a
million tons of food, and that’s more than 3,000 calories for every man,
woman and child in Gaza. If there are Palestinians in Gaza who aren’t
getting enough food, it’s not because Israel is blocking it, it’s
because Hamas is stealing it.So much for that lie, but here’s another:
The ICC prosecutor accuses Israel of deliberately targeting civilians.
What in God’s green earth is he talking about? The IDF has dropped
millions of flyers, sent millions of text messages, made hundreds of
thousands of phone calls to get Palestinian civilians out of harm’s way.
But at the same time, Hamas does everything in its power to put
Palestinian civilians in harm’s way. They fire rockets from schools,
from hospitals, from mosques. They even shoot their own people when they
try to leave the war zone. A senior Hamas official Fathi Hamad boasted –
Listen to this – He boasted that Palestinian women and children excel
at being human shields. His words: “excel at being human shields.” What
monstrous evil.For Israel, every civilian death is a tragedy. For Hamas,
it’s a strategy. They actually want Palestinian civilians to die, so
that Israel will be smeared in the international media and be pressured
to end the war before it’s won.This would enable Hamas to survive
another day, and as they vowed, to carry out October 7th again and again
and again. Well, I want to assure you, no matter what pressure is
brought to bear, I will never allow that to happen.The vast majority of
Americans have not fallen for this Hamas propaganda. They continue to
support Israel, and I want to say: Thank you America, and thank you,
senators and house members who continue to support us, continue to
support Israel, continue to support the truth and see through the
lies.But as for the minority that may have fallen for Hamas’s con job, I
suggest you listen to Colonel John Spencer. John Spencer is head of
urban warfare studies at West Point. He studied every major urban
conflict, I was going to say in modern history, he corrected me. No. In
history.Israel, he said, has implemented more precautions to prevent
civilian harm than any military in history and beyond what international
law requires.That’s why despite all the lies you’ve heard, the war in
Gaza has one of the lowest ratios of combatants to non-combatant
casualties in the history of urban warfare. And you want to know where
it’s lowest in Gaza? It’s lowest in Rafah. In Rafah. Remember what so
many people said? If Israel goes into Rafah, there’ll be thousands,
maybe even tens of thousands of civilians killed. Well, last week I went
into Rafah. I visited our troops as they finished fighting Hamas’
remaining terrorist battalions. I asked the commander there, “How many
terrorists did you take out in Rafah?” He gave me an exact number:
1,203. I asked him, “How many civilians were killed?” He said, “Prime
Minister, practically none. With the exception of a single incident,
where shrapnel from a bomb hit a Hamas weapons depot and unintentionally
killed two dozen people, the answer is practically none.” You want to
know why? Because Israel got the civilians out of harm’s way, something
people said we could never do, but we did it.These heroes here today,
the heroic soldiers of Israel, should not be condemned for how they’re
conducting the war in Gaza. They should be commended for it.I want to
thank all of you here today who have forcefully opposed the false
accusations of the ICC and stood up for the truth. These lies are not
only libelous. They’re downright dangerous. The ICC is trying to shackle
Israel’s hands and prevent us from defending ourselves. And if Israel’s
hands are tied, America is next. I’ll tell you what else is next. The
ability of all democracies to fight terrorism will be imperiled. That’s
what’s on the line. So let me assure you, the hands of the Jewish state
will never be shackled. Israel will always defend itself.
My
friends,In the Middle East, Iran is virtually behind all the terrorism,
all the turmoil, all the chaos, all the killing. And that should come as
no surprise. When he founded the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini
pledged, “We will export our revolution to the entire world. We will
export the Islamic revolution to the entire world.” Now, ask yourself,
which country ultimately stands in the way of Iran’s maniacal plans to
impose radical Islam on the world? And the answer is clear: It’s
America, the guardian of Western civilization and the world’s greatest
power. That’s why Iran sees America as its greatest enemy.Last month, I
heard a revealing comment, ostensibly about the war in Gaza, but about
something else. It came from the foreign minister of Iran’s proxy,
Hezbollah, and he said this: “This is not a war with Israel. Israel,” he
said, “is merely a tool. The main war, the real war, is with
America.”Iran’s regime has been fighting America from the moment it came
to power. In 1979, it stormed the American embassy, it held scores of
Americans hostage for 444 days. Since then, Iran’s terrorist proxies
have targeted America in the Middle East and beyond. In Beirut, they
killed 241 U.S. servicemen. In Africa, they bombed American embassies.
In Iraq, they supplied explosives to maim and kill thousands of American
soldiers. In America, they actually sent death squads. They sent death
squads here to murder a former secretary of state and a former national
security adviser. And as we recently learned, they even brazenly
threatened to assassinate President Trump.But Iran understands that to
truly challenge America, it must first conquer the Middle East. And for
this it uses its many proxies, including the Houthis, Hezbollah and
Hamas. Yet in the heart of the Middle East, standing in Iran’s way, is
one proud pro-American democracy—my country, the State of Israel.That’s
why the mobs in Tehran chant “Death to Israel” before they chant “Death
to America.” For Iran Israel is first, America is next. So, when Israel
fights Hamas, we’re fighting Iran. When we fight Hezbollah, we’re
fighting Iran. When we fight the Houthis, we’re fighting Iran. And when
we fight Iran, we’re fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of
the United States of America.And one more thing. When Israel acts to
prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons that could
destroy Israel and threaten every American city, every city that you
come from, we’re not only protecting ourselves. We’re protecting you.My
friends,If you remember one thing, one thing from this speech, remember
this: Our enemies are your enemies, our fight is your fight, and our
victory will be your victory.Ladies and gentlemen,That victory is in
sight. Israel’s defeat of Hamas will be a powerful blow to Iran’s axis
of terror. Another part of that axis, Hezbollah, attacked Israel on
October 8th, a day after the Hamas attack. It has launched thousands of
missiles and drones against us. 80,000 of our citizens in northern
Israel evacuated their homes, becoming effectively refugees in their own
land. We are committed to returning them home. We prefer to achieve
this diplomatically. But let me be clear: Israel will do whatever it
must do to restore security to our northern border and return our people
safely to their homes.Last Friday, a third Iranian proxy, the Houthis,
attacked Tel Aviv with a deadly drone. It exploded a few hundred feet
from the American consulate, killing one person and injuring nine. On
Saturday, I authorized a swift response to that attack.All our enemies
should know this. Those who attack Israel will pay a very heavy
price.And as we defend ourselves on all fronts, I know that America has
our back. And I thank you for it. All sides of the aisle. Thank you.My
friends,For decades, America has provided Israel with generous military
assistance, and a grateful Israel has provided America with critical
intelligence that saved many lives. We’ve jointly developed some of the
most sophisticated weapons on Earth. I choose my words carefully: we’ve
jointly developed some of the most sophisticated weapons on Earth, that
help protect both our countries. And we also help keep American boots
off the ground while protecting our shared interests in the Middle
East.I deeply appreciate America’s support, including in this current
war. But this is an exceptional moment. Fast tracking US military aid
can dramatically expedite an end to the war in Gaza and help prevent a
broader war in the Middle East.In World War II, as Britain fought on the
frontlines of civilization, Winston Churchill appealed to Americans
with these famous words: “Give us the tools and we’ll finish the job.”
Today, as Israel fights on the frontline of civilization, I too appeal
to America: “Give us the tools faster, and we’ll finish the job
faster.”My dear friends,The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas
surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages. But if they don’t,
Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and its
rule in Gaza and bring all our hostages home.That’s what total victory
means, and we will settle for nothing less.The day after we defeat
Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge. My vision for that day is of a
demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza. Israel does not seek to resettle
Gaza. But for the foreseeable future, we must retain overriding security
control there to prevent the resurgence of terror, to ensure that Gaza
never again poses a threat to Israel.Gaza should have a civilian
administration run by Palestinians who do not seek to destroy Israel.
That’s not too much to ask. It’s a fundamental thing that we have a
right to demand and to receive.A new generation of Palestinians must no
longer be taught to hate Jews but rather to live in peace with us. Those
twin words, demilitarization and deradicalization, those two concepts
were applied to Germany and Japan after World War II, and that led to
decades of peace, prosperity and security.Following our victory, with
the help of regional partners, the demilitarization and deradicalization
of Gaza can also lead to a future of security, prosperity and peace.
That’s my vision for Gaza.Now, here’s my vision for the broader Middle
East. It’s also shaped in part by what we saw in the aftermath of World
War II. After that war, America forged a security alliance in Europe to
counter the growing Soviet threat. Likewise, America and Israel today
can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing
Iranian theat.All countries that are in peace with Israel and all those
countries who will make peace with Israel should be invited to join this
alliance. We saw a glimpse of that potential alliance on April 14th.
Led by the United States, more than half a dozen nations worked
alongside Israel to help neutralize hundreds of missiles and drones
launched by Iran against us.Thank you, President Biden, for bringing
that coalition together.The new alliance I envision would be a natural
extension of the groundbreaking Abraham Accords. Those Accords saw peace
forged between Israel and four Arab countries, and they were supported
by Republican and Democrats alike.I have a name for this new alliance. I
think we should call it: The Abraham Alliance.I want to thank President
Trump for his leadership in brokering the historic Abraham Accords.
Like Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe
and sound from that dastardly attack on him, dastardly attack on
American democracy. There is no room for political violence in
democracies.I also want to thank President Trump for all the things he
did for Israel, from recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan
Heights, to confronting Iran’s aggression, to recognizing Jerusalem as
our capital and moving the American embassy there. That’s Jerusalem, our
eternal capital never to be divided again.My dear friends, Democrats
and Republicans,Despite these times of upheaval, I’m hopeful about the
future. I’m hopeful about Israel because my people, the Jewish people,
emerged from the depths of hell, from dispossession and genocide, and
against all odds we restored our sovereignty in our ancient homeland, we
built a powerful and vibrant democracy, a democracy that pushes the
boundaries of innovation for the betterment of all humanity.I’m hopeful
about America because I’m hopeful about Americans. I know how much the
people of this country have sacrificed to defend freedom. America will
continue to be a force for light and good in a dark and dangerous world.
For free peoples everywhere, America remains the beacon of liberty its
extraordinary founders envisioned back in 1776.Working together, I’m
confident that our two nations will vanquish the tyrants and terrorists
who threaten us both. As Israel’s prime minister, I promise you this: no
matter how long it takes, no matter how difficult the road ahead,
Israel will not relent. Israel will not bend. We will defend our land.
We will defend our people. We will fight until we achieve victory.
Victory of liberty over tyranny, victory of life over death, victory of
good over evil. That’s our solemn commitment.And we will continue to
work with the United States and our Arab partners to transform a
troubled region, from a backwater of oppression, poverty and war into a
thriving oasis of dignity, prosperity and peace. In this noble mission,
as in many others, Israel will always remain America’s indispensable
ally. Through thick and thin, in good times and in bad, Israel will
always be your loyal friend and your steadfast partner.On behalf of the
people of Israel, I came here today to say: Thank you, America. Thank
you for your support and solidarity. Thank you for standing with Israel
in our hour of need. Together, we shall defend our common civilization.
Together, we shall secure a brilliant future for both our nations.May
God bless Israel.May God bless America.And may God bless the great
alliance between Israel and America forever.

"US, Canada jets intercept China, Russia planes near Alaska.
Washington
(AFP) July 24, 2024 - American and Canadian warplanes intercepted two
Russian and two Chinese bombers in international airspace near the state
of Alaska on Wednesday, the joint US-Canadian North American Aerospace
Defense Command (NORAD) said."NORAD detected, tracked, and intercepted
two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the
Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone," it said.The zone is a perimeter
in which air traffic is monitored beyond the border of national
airspace to provide additional reaction time in case of hostile
actions.Intercepts of Russian aircraft -- in which they are contacted
visually or electronically by US or Canadian planes -- are relatively
common in the area."Fighter jets from the United States and Canada
conducted the intercept," NORAD said, adding that the bombers "remained
in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian
sovereign airspace," and that their activity "is not seen as a threat."
ICE WORLD-China, Russia push back over Washington's Arctic warning-by AFP Staff Writers
Washington
(AFP) July 23, 2024-Russia and China on Tuesday pushed back against a
US warning over their increasing military and economic cooperation in
the Arctic, where climate change is opening up greater
competition.Russia has in recent years beefed up its military presence
in the Arctic by reopening and modernizing several bases and airfields
abandoned since the end of the Soviet era, while China has poured money
into polar exploration and research."We've seen growing cooperation
between the PRC and Russia in the Arctic commercially, with the PRC
being a major funder of Russian energy exploitation in the Arctic,"
Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks told journalists Monday,
using an abbreviation for the People's Republic of China.There is also
growing military cooperation, "with Russia and China conducting joint
exercises off the coast of Alaska," Hicks said as the department
released its 2024 Arctic strategy."All of these challenges have been
amplified because the effects of climate change are rapidly warming
temperatures and thinning ice coverage, and it's enabling all of this
activity," she said.The rapid melting of polar ice has sent activity in
the inhospitable region into overdrive as nations eye newly viable oil,
gas and mineral deposits as well as shipping routes in an area with a
complex web of competing territorial claims.Moscow is heavily promoting
its Northern Sea Route, an alternative cargo route for vessels
travelling between Europe and Asia.- 'Discord and tension' -China and
Russia both defended their policies in the region on Tuesday.Beijing
said it acts on the "principles of respect, cooperation, mutual wins and
sustainability", adding it was "committed to maintaining peace and
stability" in the region."The United States distorts China's Arctic
policy and makes thoughtless remarks on China's normal Arctic activities
(which are) in accordance with international law," foreign ministry
spokeswoman Mao Ning said.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia
"does its part to ensure that the Arctic does not become a territory of
discord and tension."He told reporters that Russia's cooperation with
China "contributes to an atmosphere of stability and predictability" in
the Arctic and their actions were not targeted against other countries.
Washington's Arctic strategy describes the area as "a strategically

US warns of China-Russia cooperation in Arctic-by AFP Staff Writers
Washington
(AFP) July 23, 2024-The US Defense Department warned Monday of
increasing Russian-Chinese collaboration in the Arctic, as climate
change opens the region to greater competition over maritime routes and
resources."We've seen growing cooperation between the PRC and Russia in
the Arctic commercially, with the PRC being a major funder of Russian
energy exploitation in the Arctic," Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen
Hicks told journalists, using an abbreviation for the People's Republic
of China.There is also growing military cooperation, "with Russia and
China conducting joint exercises off the coast of Alaska," Hicks said as
the department released its 2024 Arctic strategy."All of these
challenges have been amplified because the effects of climate change are
rapidly warming temperatures and thinning ice coverage, and it's
enabling all of this activity," she said.The Arctic strategy describes
it as "a strategically important region" for the United States that
includes "the northern approaches to the homeland" and "significant US
defense infrastructure."Russia has in recent years beefed up its
military presence in the Arctic by reopening and modernizing several
bases and airfields abandoned since the end of the Soviet era, while
China has poured money into polar exploration and research.The rapid
melting of polar ice has sent activity in the inhospitable region into
overdrive as nations eye newly viable oil, gas and mineral deposits as
well as shipping routes in an area with a complex web of competing
territorial claims."The Arctic may experience its first practically
ice-free summer by 2030, and the loss of sea ice will increase the
viability of Arctic maritime transit routes and access to undersea
resources," the Arctic strategy says."Increases in human activity will
elevate the risk of accidents, miscalculation, and environmental
degradation," and US forces "must be ready and equipped to mitigate the
risks associated with potential contingencies in the Arctic."China later
defended its Arctic policy and said it acts on the "principles of
respect, cooperation, mutual wins and sustainability", adding it was
"committed to maintaining peace and stability" in the region."The United
States distorts China's Arctic policy and makes thoughtless remarks on
China's normal Arctic activities (which are) in accordance with
international law," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning
said.burs-je/rsc
