A powerful new railway route is being explored linking Saudi Arabia to Türkiye through Jordan and Syria. Why it matters: • Faster travel across the region • Stronger trade connections • A major boost to regional cooperation If approved, this could become one of the Middle East’s most important transport corridors.

Türkiye, Syria, and Jordan have promised to restore the Ottoman-era Hejaz Railway.

A Historic Move After 125 Years! 🚂✨ The Hejaz Railway, first launched by Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1900 to connect Istanbul to Mecca and Medina, is being revived after 125 years! 🇹🇷 Türkiye, 🇯🇴 Jordan, and 🇸🇾 Syria have signed a protocol for reconstruction. A separate protocol with Saudi Arabia will follow soon. The new line will stretch from Istanbul → Damascus → Amman → Medina, aiming to provide safe, affordable travel for pilgrims and boost international trade. 🕌 Originally completed in 1908, the railway was disrupted during World War I, but now it will return as a modern link of faith, history, and commerce. #HejazRailway #History #OttomanEmpire #AbdulHamidII #Pilgrimage #FaithAndTrade #Turkey #Jordan #Syria #SaudiArabia

Nine countries have paused funding for the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) following Israeli allegations that some of its staff were involved in Hamas’s October 7 attacks. The US, Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Finland have halted funding to the aid agency, a critical source of humanitarian support for over a million displaced people in Palestine’s besieged Gaza suffering from a lack of food, water, medicine and adequate shelter due to Israel’s relentless strikes and ongoing blockade. UNRWA addressed the allegations by stating that it had fired several employees over the accusations, promising a thorough investigation into Israel’s claims. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry denounced the decision of the key donor countries, calling it a “collective punishment” of the Palestinian people that revealed “miserable double standards”. Encouraging more donor suspensions, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said UNRWA should be replaced once fighting in the enclave dies down and accused it of having ties with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Gaza. Amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, UNRWA has played a key role in providing aid and shelter to displaced Palestinians through its 700 schools across the enclave. UNRWA was initially set up to help refugees of the 1948 Nakba, when over 700,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes during the founding of the State of Israel, and now employs tens of thousands of people, providing education, health and aid services to Palestinians in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Hunderttausende demonstrieren in Istanbul massiv ihre Unterstützung für Palästina und fordern Israel auf, seine Brutalität im Gazastreifen und im besetzten Westjordanland einzustellen. Türkischer Präsident Erdoğan: - Gaza war in der Vergangenheit untrennbar mit unserem Heimatland verbunden. - Wir fühlen den Schmerz unserer Brüder und Schwestern in Gaza. - Wir sind hier, um die Unterdrückten zu unterstützen. - Unsere Herzen sind zerrissen angesichts dessen, was in Gaza geschieht - Wir werden weiterhin unsere Stimme gegen die Gräueltaten in Palästina erheben. - Von der Politik bis zu den Medien hat sich die westliche Welt mobilisiert, um das Massaker an unschuldigen Menschen in Gaza zu legitimieren. Israel begeht eindeutig Kriegsverbrechen. - Jeder weiß, dass Israel ein Spielball in der Region ist, der geopfert werden wird, wenn die Zeit gekommen ist. Quelle: TRT Deutsch
