Dear subscribers, most of my colleagues have started posting ads on their channels, so I will do it too. It won't happen a lot, maybe two or three times a month.

I realize you might not like them (they will be quite obvious and cringe), but they will only remain in the channel temporarily, before being deleted. I apologize in advance.

This will help me and my admin team spend more time on the channel and continue to bring worthy news posts. Also, Telegram already posts ads by itself, so it will not make a big difference.

—🇬🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: A recent poll of 2,100 people in the UK shows that a majority want Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu arrested if he visits. When asked, 'Should the UK arrest Netanyahu if he visits?' 42% answered yes, 44% were unsure, and only 14% said no

Nearly two-thirds of Labour voters (58%) support his arrest, and 57% of Liberal Democrat supporters agree. The Green Party is the most vocal, with 76% wanting to see Netanyahu jailed, while only 28% of Reform voters support his detainment.

Foreign Minister David Lammy stated that Britain would 'follow due process' if Netanyahu visited the UK.

Notably, the UK has never hosted someone indicted by the ICC. Netanyahu last visited the UK in March 2023.

This has sparked some questions. Some say it’s bitcoin mining but I don’t think he’d jeopardise his dignity for crypy. It’s likely spying equipment.
