También equivaldrían al 141% de las reservas probadas de crudo y condensado de Estados Unidos, que ascendían a 46.000 millones de barriles al cierre de 2024, según la misma agencia.

La paz Israel-Líbano llegará solo con el fin de Hezbolá, dice el Embajador en EEUU

El embajador de Israel en Estados Unidos, Yechiel Leiter, reafirmó el viernes el compromiso de Israel con un alto el fuego en el Líbano.

En una publicación en redes sociales, Leiter también declaró que las relaciones entre Israel y el Líbano solo serán posibles una vez que se elimine a la organización terrorista Hezbolá.

«Israel mantiene su firme compromiso con un alto el fuego inmediato. A las 11:30 de esta mañana, Israel detuvo todas las operaciones ofensivas; las afirmaciones de Hezbolá e Irán en sentido contrario son mentiras descaradas», escribió Leiter.

«Si Hezbolá respeta el acuerdo y cesa sus hostilidades, encontrará paz», subrayó.

«Israel desea que nuestro vecino del norte, el Líbano, con quien mantenemos relaciones que se remontan a los reyes Salomón y Hiram, prospere y disfrute de libertades democráticas, y como cualquier país normal, jamás comprometerá su seguridad. Esto solo sucederá cuando Hezbolá,

(June 12, 2026 / JNS)  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday again vowed that Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons on his watch, as Iranian media reported that Tehran will insist on its right to enrich uranium in emerging talks with the United States.

“As long as I am the prime minister of Israel, Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said in a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, adding that he and U.S. President Donald Trump “are in full agreement on this issue.”

A major Spanish bank chairman apologized for what he described as an internal compliance misunderstanding after Israeli clients in Spain reported account restrictions and delayed transfers linked to new government measures.

In a letter revealed by The Jerusalem Post, Banco Sabadell chairman Josep Oliu wrote to President Isaac Herzog expressing support for Israel and saying the bank had revised its procedures after some internal teams’ early handling may have created the wrong impression about its treatment of Israeli customers.

Khalil al-Hayya, the leader of Hamas, was one of the targets of the operations, an Israeli official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post. His death has not been confirmed.

Several major European picture agencies have stopped working with a Gaza-based photographer after a German documentary revealed he staged an image portraying hunger in the Strip.

Anas Zayed Fteiha, a contributor to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency, was filmed arranging a photo of Palestinian children with outstretched empty bowls – seemingly queuing for food. But a wide-angle shot in the documentary, broadcast by Süddeutsche Zeitung, shows the scene was constructed in an open area with no aid distribution taking place.

While Turkey’s agreement with Germany and the United Kingdom for the purchase of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets does not constitute a direct or immediate threat to Israel’s air superiority, it is nonetheless a “headache,” an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post.

The agreement marks a significant step in Ankara’s ongoing efforts to modernize its military.

Hezbolá estaría considerando un desarme parcial

Hezbolá ha iniciado una importante revisión estratégica tras su devastadora guerra con Israel, que incluye la posibilidad de reducir su papel como movimiento armado sin desarmarse por completo, dijeron 3 fuentes a Reuters.

Las conversaciones internas, que aún no han finalizado ni se han publicado previamente, reflejan las enormes presiones que ha enfrentado la representación iraní desde que se alcanzó una tregua a finales de noviembre.

Las fuerzas israelíes continúan atacando zonas donde el grupo tiene influencia, acusando a Hezbolá de violaciones del alto el fuego, algo que este niega.

También se enfrenta a graves dificultades financieras, a las exigencias estadounidenses de su desarme y a una menor influencia política desde que un nuevo gabinete asumió el cargo en febrero con el apoyo de Estados Unidos.

Reconstruir Gaza no tiene sentido si no se erradica a Hamás

Mientras los líderes árabes y occidentales siguen debatiendo planes para reconstruir la Franja de Gaza, Hamás, respaldado por Irán, ha rechazado nuevamente desarmarse.

Está claro que el grupo terrorista está decidido a mantener sus armas y su poder, incluso si eso implica privar a los gazatíes de la reconstrucción y de más ayuda humanitaria. Hamás no solo debe ser eliminado del poder, sino que debe desaparecer por completo.

Mientras los líderes árabes y occidentales continúan discutiendo planes para reconstruir la Franja de Gaza, el grupo terrorista palestino Hamás, respaldado por Irán, ha rechazado nuevamente deponer las armas.

Hamás busca poner fin a la guerra manteniendo al mismo tiempo su control militar sobre Gaza, reflejando el dominio que ejercía Hezbollah antes de la guerra en el Líbano. Israel no debe permitir que esto suceda, incluso si Egipto presiona para que así sea.

El objetivo principal de Hamás en este momento es asegurar un alto el fuego para sobrevivir a la guerra, reconstruir su ejército terrorista y consolidar su control político de la Franja de Gaza.

Unfair to hold Israel to impossibly high expectations in war with Hamas - opinion

This form of racism is where people hate a group so much that they place impossibly high standards on the group and criticize them when they don’t reach that level of impossible behavior.
