🇪🇺 The Telegraph gave a deep dive into why the migration patterns this year have changed significantly from back in 2016 when millions crossed the border into Europe from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Vessels crossing the border into Italy cost as little as £860 to £1,700, which is much cheaper than walking through Europe from Turkey. The demographic of people crossing has also changed, where most are from Africa and South America, primarily Venezuela and Colombia.
The annual budget for handling migrants is also much higher than in 2015, when it had a yearly budget of € 143.3 million and 309 staff. In 2022, the budget had ballooned to €754 million, and there are now more than 2,000 workers.

🇬🇷🇪🇺 The conservative Greek government wants to establish EU mandated migrant quotas
Greece’s Minister for Migration, Dimitris Kairidis, urges other European Union member states to adopt a proposed plan to sanction countries that refuse to accept migrants deported by the bloc. “Existing bilateral agreements for returning [illegal] migrants between individual E.U. member states and non-member countries had proved ineffective,” Kairidis said on state television.

🇬🇷🇪🇺 The conservative Greek government wants to establish EU mandated migrant quotas Greece’s Minister for Migration, Dimitris Kairidis, urges other European Union member states to adopt a proposed plan to sanction countries that refuse to accept migrants…
🇪🇺 On October 4th 2023, the conservative government of Italy, led by Giorgia Meloni and the leftist coalition ruling Germany led by Olaf Scholz, reached a deal regarding the EU Migration Pact.
In short, the pact imposes a solidarity clause for all of the EU's member states where all member states must contribute in some form to alleviate the pressure placed by migrants on one or more of the member states.
These contributions can take the form of:
🔸 Relocating migrants in other member states
🔸 Taking over the examination process of a certain number of asylum claims filed by migrants
🔸 Financial contributions
The draft of the pact explicitly forbids any violent actions in dealing with surges of arrivals and while it gives a great deal of attention to the possibility of intentional destabilisation through the creation of an artificial flux of migration by a foreign party, the draft excludes "humanitarian aid operations" from being considered "instrumentalisation of migrants" with the aim to destabilise the Union or a particular state.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken: We are doing everything in our power to ensure that another front does not emerge in this conflict, including with Hezbollah.
— If the Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff stand in front of the cameras and inform the people of Israel that the government has decided to eliminate once for all Hamas and all the terrorist leaders - I will join a national emergency government without any conditions.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the potential role of Iran in the Hamas attack on Israel on Sunday.
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 "The US military is planning to move US Navy ships and US military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning. Movements could start immediately but all the assets will not be in place for several days.
The US is also working through plans for a possible non-combatant evacuation - helping Americans get out of Israel. Nothing has been decided or ordered but they are working through options, including one that involves putting some Americans on Navy ships to get them to safety." - NBC News Correspondent Courtney Kube
