Hungarian President Novak announced his resignation today (10th) after he pardoned a man convicted of helping to cover up a sexual assault in a kindergarten, sparking public discontent in the country.
According to Reuters, Katalin Novak is a close ally of conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In April 2023, during the visit of Pope Francis to Budapest, he announced a pardon for around 24 criminals, including the deputy director of a children’s home who was imprisoned for helping the former director of the institution to cover up crimes found guilty in court. After the amnesty decision was revealed by the media, the opposition parties have been demanding Novak’s resignation. Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside Novak’s office and demanded that she resign.
Novak, 46, announced her resignation on national television today, saying it was her last speech to the nation as president. He said, “I made a mistake in making the decision to forgive last April because my act of forgiveness and lack of careful consideration raised people’s doubts about the zero tolerance policy for pedophilia.”
In an effort to remedy the breach,

2024-02-10 21:00:27 The Kremlin’s assurance that it will not attack any NATO country is worth nothing.
Innsbruck (OTS) – US moderator Carlson enabled the Kremlin ruler to address the American right directly.
Judging by the international excitement, the propaganda show by Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin was a highlight of the past week. For a good two hours, the right-wing US presenter and conspiracy theorist provided the key words for the Kremlin boss. He was allowed to ramble unfiltered about his view of history and the world and repeat his lies about the war in Ukraine.
In terms of the knowledge gained, what was disseminated under the term interview was almost a total failure. How Putin justifies his imperialist policies and his contempt for humanity is well known. His assurance that he would not attack any NATO country? – Worth nothing after the attack on Ukraine, which also had security guarantees from Moscow. His hint of a negotiated solution? – A deliberate deception. Putin and his clique have always understood peace as Ukraine’s self-sacrifice. So far there has been no willingness in Moscow to back away from war aims.
Given the possible consequences, the bizarre appearance of Carlson and Putin was a contribution to Russian warfare.

It is feared that the international price of crude oil will increase by at least 10 US dollars per barrel, and the price of natural gas will increase by 25 percent. It is said that the price has not increased so far due to the actions of Saudi Arabia, the main oil producing country.
The US and UK hope their overnight strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels will help reverse widespread delays and disruptions to Red Sea trade routes by restoring safe passage through the Bab-al-Mandeb strait to the Suez Canal.
On the other hand, an escalation of the wider Middle East conflict is also now clear.
Before that, oil prices had fallen quite sharply, sending petrol prices below £1.40 a liter to a two-year low. And while prices rose 4 percent on Friday, they remain relatively modest at $80 a barrel.
But there is a risk that disruptions to cargo from the Red Sea across the Arabian Peninsula will spill over into the Strait of Hormuz,

Exploring the Aftermath of Israeli Airstrikes on Rafah: Seeking Solutions for Peace and Humanitarian Aid
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — The recent Israeli airstrikes in the southern Gaza city of Rafah have left a devastating impact on the Palestinian population, with at least 44 lives lost including more than a dozen children. The announcement of a potential ground invasion by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ignited panic and warnings from diplomats. As tensions rise and casualties increase, it is crucial to explore innovative solutions that address the underlying themes and concepts within this crisis.
The Urgent Need for Evacuation Plans
With more than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people packed into Rafah, due to previous Israeli evacuation orders and limited alternatives, it becomes clear that comprehensive evacuation plans are necessary. However, any large-scale ground offensive on Rafah could potentially lead to disastrous consequences according to Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
- Solution: International organizations should collaborate with regional powers like Egypt to establish safe zones for the civilian population affected by conflict areas like Rafah. These safe zones should be equipped with proper infrastructure, essential supplies, medical facilities, and designated evacuation routes.
The Role of Global Diplomacy in Addressing Conflict
In light of escalating tensions between Israel and various other nations such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia,
