Iran and six world powers namely the USA, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany started a new round of nuclear negotiation on Tuesday April 8 in Vienna, aiming to reach a draft of a final agreement.
The power countries want Iran to scale back its uranium enrichment activity to deny it any capability to quickly produce an atomic bomb, if it decided on such a course. Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and wants them to lift sanctions.
Iran’s foreign minister Zarifi spoke in Farsi while reading his statement despite there was no translation during the press conference, he said that his country and six world powers are reached “50 to 60 percent agreement” on the shape of a nuclear deal meant to crimp any potential Iranian attempt to build nuclear arms in exchange for an end to crippling economic sanctions.
The Palestinian Authority was established 20 years ago as a consequence of the signing of Oslo, that miserable “peace project” which turned the Palestinians into spies for Israel and the US-Western security agencies. As a consequence, the Palestinian authority replaced the Israeli military police and army in chasing and jailing the Palestinian resistance, protecting the Israeli occupation colonies and lengthening its age.
November 19, 2012 – Gaza: this phase of the attack on Gaza began November 14th, 2012 with a targeted killing of Ahmed Al-Ja’bari, the leader of Hamas. Eight other civilians died with him. The attack on Gaza continues with air strikes on civilian areas reported by the international media. Israel’s air targeting has moved from identified rocket launchers to civilian infra structure and individual homes of those suspected as militants. The high rate of civilian casualties exceeds “collateral damage”. (
During four days of the israeli zionist war crimes in Gaza, 40 Palestinians have been killed and over 400 injured, among them many in serious conditions, one third of the killed and injured Palestinians were children. Several houses and buildings have been completely destroyed and leveled to the ground, among them the building of the Prime Minister offices.
In Gaza and according to a press release from Al Mizan for Human Rights: (Note: the number of the causalities, the murdered and injured Palestinians, increased after this press release). Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched an air strike on a house, in a serious escalation of its aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Solaiman Salah and his son, Mohammed, 13, sustained critical injuries. His wife, Fayza Salah, 53, and her son Zakariya, 19, and daughter, Safaa, 23, sustained moderate injuries. Al Mezan filed workers noted that the northern part of the family house collapsed completely, but the back part of the house remained standing with partial damage. The family were in the back part of the house when the attack took place. Al Mezan’s field workers witnessed the rescue operation at the house by the civil defense and neighbors. Two women and two children were rescued from under the rubble. This attack damaged 10 adjacent homes; 4 of which seriously, and left 33 injuries; 13 of them children and 7 women.
Al Mezan highlights that IOF’s attacks as Israel’s over five-year-old closure and naval blockade of the Gaza Strip continue. The situation of basic services in Gaza has deteriorated seriously during these years; especially for the health, water and sanitation sectors. The Israeli closure to the Gaza’s last crossing point, through which trade and humanitarian aid can be supplied, will further deteriorate the humanitarian situation in
International community has a responsibility to act to prevent serious violations of international law and human rights. Al Mezan calls on the international community to promptly intervene to stop the Israeli aggression; including by convening an urgent session of the Human Rights Council.
Today Sunday November 4 2012, thousands of Palestinians called the Palestinian Attorney General official and informal legal institution and the Palestinian Lawyers Association to initiate a criminal case against Mr. Mahmoud Abbas for violating the provisions of the Basic Palestinian Law (constitution) and the national and international laws concerning the right of return of Palestinian refugees to their homeland and property from which they were displaced by the zionist occupation, in particular, the Article 6 of the Law on the right of return for refugees of 2008, which stipulates that anyone who violates the provisions of this law shall be guilty of the crime of treason and that such an individual shall be subjected to all criminal and civil penalties assessed for this kind of offense.

In the midst of the Austrian cultural activities, the Cultural Department of the Egyptian Embassy continues its efforts to focus the interest of Viennese society and the representatives of diplomatic missions to Austria by holding evenings of art and culture which highlight the cultural role of the Arab Republic of Egypt among the European and countries. 
There is no evidence that Israel will attack Iran, what makes the question moot. Furthermore, this is not an issue of the EU and the question is very hypothetical. I can only support the hope that things will not escalate in this way.
