Combat team forces of Brigade 401, operating under the command of Division 162 in the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Chariots of Gideon, carried out a rapid operational action last week that led to the elimination of a Hamas terrorist cell in the northern Strip. The incident occurred on Thursday during operational activity in which a tank commander from Battalion 52 was seriously wounded.

According to an IDF spokesperson statement, the encounter with the terrorist cell began when team forces made contact with Hamas terrorists who opened fire toward the Israeli force. The tank commander from Battalion 52 was seriously wounded during the initial encounter with the terrorists. Despite the commander's serious injury, the combat team forces continued the operational action and operated with great efficiency.

The Israeli force sought contact with the terrorists and stormed their positions while carrying out a swift and precise action. Within just four minutes from the start of the assault, Brigade 401 forces succeeded in eliminating several terrorists from the cell. The rapid and precise action of the ground force led to neutralizing a significant part of the threat.

Later in the incident, Air Force aircraft joined the operation in cooperation with Brigade 401's fire complex. The Israeli forces executed a complex maneuver that included cooperation between the ground force and air force, with the goal being to close the circle and prevent the remaining terrorists from escaping or continuing to fire toward the forces.

The terrorists fired at the IDF force during the incident, but the combined elimination operation by ground forces and the Air Force led to the complete elimination of the cell within minutes. The aircraft and the brigade's fire complex operated simultaneously to eliminate the remaining terrorists from the cell who were not eliminated in the initial ground operation.

The operation demonstrates the combined combat capabilities of IDF forces, where cooperation between different units enables the execution of operational missions in a short time and with great efficiency. Operation Chariots of Gideon continues as part of military activity in the Gaza Strip, with Division 162 and Brigade 401 forces continuing their operational activities in the area.

The incident was documented and filmed by IDF forces, and the documentation shows the rapid action of the combat team in eliminating the cell. This operational action joins a series of operations carried out by IDF forces as part of the fighting in the Gaza Strip, while continuing activity against terrorist organizations in the area.

Basel, Switzerland – On the eve of the grand finale of Eurovision 2025, which will take place tomorrow (Saturday) in Basel, the tension between the leading countries reaches its peak. The battle for victory is being waged between Israel, Armenia, Czechia, Ireland, and Estonia, with the question of political influence on the results hovering in the background.

Polls and betting odds place Israel, represented by Yuval Rafael with "New Day Will Rise", in first place in audience voting, with qualification chances of 94% according to betting agencies. However, as happened in previous years, everything depends on the "professional" judges, who have often preferred political considerations over genuine talent.

Yuval Rafael, a survivor of the Hamas attack from October 2023, brings a powerful ballad in three languages – English, French, and Hebrew – to the stage. Her performance has evoked mixed reactions across Europe, with political protests on one side and enthusiastic support on the other. Despite the controversy, the wider audience continues to vote for her in large numbers.

Armenia is represented by Parg with "Survivor", a song with dramatic elements whose chances of making the finals stand at only 42%, placing the country on the borderline of qualification. Ireland, represented by Amy with "Laika Party", comes with an upbeat pop song and a colorful stage performance. With qualification chances of 39%, Ireland is in an insecure position. Reactions to the song were mixed – some viewers found it enjoyable and catchy, while others struggled to connect with it.

For its part, Estonia is represented by Tommy Cash with "Espresso Macchiato", an electro-swing song in Estonian and Italian. Cash, an eccentric artist with a post-Soviet style, brings a performance with exceptional visual elements to the stage. His winning chances stand at about 2% according to the betting odds, placing Estonia in the second tier of favorites.

Czechia, represented by Adonx with "Blood and Glitter", comes with a dramatic ballad with gothic influences. Adonx, a singer born in Slovakia, focuses on dark aesthetics and showcases his powerful voice. Czechia's winning chances stand at only about 1%, placing it at the bottom of the table.

Behind the scenes of the competition, the discussion about the influence of politics in Eurovision is growing. Many times in the past, Israel has led in audience voting, but "professional" judges awarded points to other countries due to political considerations rather than in accordance with the real talent displayed on stage. "Eurovision is a political competition and not one of talent – it hasn't been about talent for a long time", many critics claim.

If we look at the expected results according to the "professional" judges, Israel is expected to reach fifth place, a result considered excellent considering the political situation. Above it in the table are Sweden with KAJ and his song "Bara Bada Bastu" (39% chance of winning), Austria with JJ and "Wasted Love" (23%), the Netherlands with Claude Kmbm and "C'est la Vie" (8%), and France with Louane (11%).

The Swedish song "Bara Bada Bastu" is a humorous song in the pop-schlager style, performed in the Voroa dialect, with an original and vibrant stage performance. Austria, on the other hand, brings a powerful ballad combining pop and opera, with an impressive vocal performance that has received much praise.

The Netherlands competes with an emotional multilingual song with soul influences, delivered in a touching performance, while France presents a traditional ballad in French, dedicated to the mother and daughter of singer Louane, with an emotional performance that captured the hearts of the judges.

The tension ahead of tomorrow's final is strongly felt in the hall in Basel. Organizers expect a viewership of over 200 million people worldwide, who will follow the big decision. The central question occupying everyone is whether this time the audience vote will overcome the judges' considerations and allow Israel to win first place.

The Eurovision organizers, for their part, emphasized the importance of maintaining a non-political character for the competition. Nevertheless, it is difficult to ignore the political tension that hovers over the event. Outside the hall, demonstrations were held both for and against Israel's participation, and the discourse on social networks has become particularly stormy. The Swiss police have increased security around the event, and promised to maintain order and the safety of all participants.

An in-depth analysis of voting patterns in recent years shows that there is often a significant gap between audience preferences and judges' scores. Last year, for example, Israel enjoyed great success in audience voting but received relatively low scores from the judges, which prevented it from reaching the top positions.

Eurovision experts explain that political considerations play a significant role in judges' voting, while the audience tends to vote more according to musical preferences.

Yuval Rafael's performance attracts much interest also because of its musical quality. Yuval's personal connection to the song, as a survivor of the terrorist attack in October 2023, adds another dimension to her performance. Forecasts for tomorrow's final point to a particularly close battle. If we combine audience votes with judges' scores, Israel might certainly reach first place, but everything depends on the weight given to each of the components.

While Sweden enjoys strong support from the judges thanks to the original and colorful performance, and Austria impresses with the spectacular vocal performance, Israel combines musical power with a universal message, which may bring it the support needed to win.

Ireland, with "Laika Party", brings energy and vitality to the competition, but seems to lack the power and emotional depth to compete for the top positions. Czechia and Estonia, despite the uniqueness and authenticity of their performances, are at a disadvantage in the polls, although surprises are always possible at Eurovision.

Tomorrow's grand final is expected to be one of the most fascinating in recent years, with a diverse mix of musical styles, personal messages, and of course, the politics that is always present behind the scenes. Will Yuval Rafael bring Israel an emotional victory? Will one of the other countries surprise? The answers will be given tomorrow, on the Eurovision stage in Basel.

The Israeli delegation continues with its final rehearsals and preparations for this sublime event.

As the hour of decision approaches, all eyes are on Basel. Beyond the identity of the winner, the essential question is whether Eurovision 2025 will succeed in rising above political disputes and celebrating the art of music as the founders of this cultural enterprise originally aspired. The answer to this will be given tomorrow evening, when the spotlights are directed at the Eurovision stage in Basel, Swiss Confederation.

The ceasefire collapsed last night as the Air Force attacked dozens of terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip. The IDF launched a widespread surprise offensive under political leadership directive, for the first time since the ceasefire deal began.

The Prime Minister's Office stated: "Hamas has repeatedly refused to release hostages. The strikes are intended to achieve the war's objectives. From now on, we will act with increasing military power". It was also noted that the operational plan was presented at the end of last week by the IDF and approved by the political leadership.

Following the deterioration of the security situation, schools in the Gaza envelope have been canceled. Palestinian sources reported approximately 100 casualties and injuries in less than an hour from the start of the attack. Hamas later claimed the number had risen to more than 230 dead.

The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed in a joint statement that they are "extensively attacking Hamas terrorist targets throughout the Gaza Strip" and indicated that additional details would be provided later.

Defense Minister Israel Katz stated: "Tonight we returned to fighting in Gaza against the backdrop of Hamas's refusal to release the hostages, and threats to harm IDF soldiers and Israeli communities. If Hamas does not release all the hostages, the gates of hell will open in Gaza, and Hamas murderers and rapists will meet the IDF with a force they have never known before. We will not stop fighting until all hostages return home and all war objectives are achieved".

The Hostages' Families Headquarters responded sharply to the renewed fighting: "The greatest fear has been realized – the government has chosen to abandon the hostages". This response reflects concerns that renewed military action could endanger the lives of hostages still held by Hamas.

According to the IDF spokesperson's announcement, following a situation assessment, changes were decided in the Home Front Command's defense policy. Starting at 2:00 AM, the Gaza envelope guidance area will transition from full activity level to reduced activity level, which does not allow for educational activities. In contrast, the Western Negev and Western Lachish guidance areas remain unchanged – full activity.

The decision to resume fighting comes after a period of complex negotiations that did not yield the hoped-for results from Israel's perspective. According to the Prime Minister's Office, the strikes are intended "to achieve the war objectives as determined by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages – both living and deceased".

The renewed offensive marks a significant change in Israeli strategy, following a period of relative ceasefire. The IDF spokesperson emphasized the importance of continuing to follow the guidelines published by the Home Front Command through official distribution channels and noted that complete guidelines are updated on the National Emergency Portal and the Home Front Command app.

Recent events highlight the complexity and dynamic nature of the situation in Gaza, as peace efforts and negotiations for the return of hostages face significant obstacles. Nevertheless, Israeli leadership continues to emphasize its commitment to returning all hostages and achieving the defined war objectives.

These developments raise questions about the near future in the region and about the fate of hostages still in Hamas captivity. The international community is watching the escalation with concern, while residents of the Gaza envelope must once again adapt to a tense security reality.

According to official publications, the Prime Minister's Office emphasized that "from now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military power," suggesting an intention to increase military pressure on Hamas in the coming days. The Defense Minister clarified that fighting will continue until all war objectives are achieved, primarily the return of the hostages.

The dramatic developments in recent hours mark a new chapter in the ongoing conflict, as both sides face difficult decisions regarding continuing the struggle or returning to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, civilians on both sides continue to pay the heavy price of the ongoing conflict.

The IDF calls on residents of the relevant areas to heed Home Front Command instructions and to continue following ongoing updates through official media channels. The situation continues to develop, and additional updates are expected in the coming hours and days.

In an extensive investigation, Amor reveals a disturbing mechanism: "A ticket to the Eifman Ballet's 'The Seagull' by the Russian state theater cost about 400 shekels. This money was transferred directly to the Russian government, and thus Israeli citizens, perhaps unknowingly, became supporters of Putin's regime. Israeli shekels purchased missiles against Ukraine because the money went to the Russian state, which uses it, among other things, to finance the war".

"I am certain that Ukrainian Jews are dying also due to the passive support of Israelis who thoughtlessly bought tickets to 'The Seagull'", Amor asserts. "The Israeli Opera provided a stage for the Russian theater, and the Ministry of Culture, which maintains the opera with public funds, remained silent because the Russian government wanted their theater to visit Israel".

The timing, Amor emphasizes, intensifies the gravity of the situation: "All this happens after October 7, when Hamas members, who are defined in Russia as a 'freedom-fighting party', have flown to Moscow several times. All this occurs while Russia publicly supports Hamas, supplies weapons to the terrorist organization, and even built a Kalashnikov factory in Gaza".

"'The Seagull' was staged after October 7, and Jews were silent again and even bought tickets for 400 shekels", Amor adds angrily. "What seemed like support for culture actually turned into support for Putin's government and strengthening his regime, which acts against Israel and for the killing of Ukrainian citizens, many of whom are Jews".

"The severity of the situation intensifies", Amor explains, "when you understand that Russia not only supports Hamas but has built a factory for manufacturing Kalashnikov rifles and missiles in Gaza. While the Israeli Opera hosts a Russian state theater, that same government supplies weapons to terrorist organizations operating against Israel".

While through the Israeli Opera, Israeli money was indirectly transferred to Moscow through various intermediaries, representatives of the terrorist organization Hamas visited the Russian capital several times after the October 7 terrorist attack, receiving public support from the Russian authorities and its president Vladimir Putin. All this occurred while the same organization held and continues to hold dozens of Israeli citizens captive, explains Dim Amor.

Dim Amor reiterated: "The situation is absurd when Russia supplies weapons to our enemies and defines terrorist organizations as 'freedom fighters', the Israeli Opera decides to provide a platform and legitimacy to a theater representing the same hostile regime. Every ticket sold to 'The Seagull' ballet turns Israeli spectators, even if unknowingly, into indirect supporters of a system that acts against Israel's security interests".

Following this revelation, Amor announced that from now on, he would only watch opera abroad. "I will not lend a hand to a cultural institution that transfers public funds to a regime that supports terror", he concludes.

This is what the opera told us:

"Hello, the performance 'The Seagull' created by the Ailpman Ballet is brought by an independent producer called 'Tzemach Productions,' who rents the opera hall. Please contact them. The public relations officer for the performance is Shauli Baskind (whose details I have passed on to you)."

Netanyahu revealed that "there were significant delays in weapons and ammunition supplies" and noted that "this delay will soon be resolved". According to him, Israel will acquire advanced warfare means that will protect soldiers' lives and provide additional striking power to complete military missions.

During his speech, the Prime Minister reviewed achievements on seven fronts of what he called the "War of Revival". Regarding the Iranian arena, Netanyahu stated that Israel destroyed "significant portions of its air defense and missile production capabilities", as well as "a significant component of its nuclear program".

In the Lebanese arena, the Prime Minister claimed that "this is no longer the same Hezbollah" and that the organization has been pushed back "decades". According to his statement, Israel eliminated the organization's senior leadership, destroyed most of its missiles and rockets, and eliminated thousands of terrorists.

Addressing concerns about future ceasefire violations, Netanyahu emphasized that "we will respond with force to any violation". He added that violations would include not only firing but also future attempts by the organization to arm itself.

Regarding the Gaza campaign, Netanyahu reported that the IDF eliminated approximately 20,000 terrorists and returned 154 hostages. He emphasized the commitment to returning the remaining 101 hostages, both living and deceased.

Addressing northern residents, Netanyahu said he is proud of their resilience and is "completely committed to your security, the rehabilitation of your communities, and your future". However, he refrained from calling for their return home at this stage.

The Prime Minister also addressed the situation in additional arenas: in Judea and Samaria, he reported the elimination of hundreds of terrorists and destruction of terror infrastructure; in Yemen, he noted the attack on the Houthi port of Hodeidah; in Iraq, he mentioned the interception of drone attacks; and in Syria, he reported systematic thwarting of attempts to transfer weapons to Lebanon.

Netanyahu concluded his remarks saying that "a good agreement is one that is enforced", and emphasized his commitment to continuing the campaign until victory is achieved. He promised that Israel will maintain full military freedom of action, with complete understanding from the United States.

Israel faces complex public relations challenges. In an exclusive interview with 'Maakav', Eliav Batito, head of the Civilian Public Diplomacy Headquarters (Israeli Spirit), reveals the daily struggle against antisemitism and the critical importance of strong Israeli public diplomacy in the international arena.

"There's a lot of antisemitism in the world, and we need strong public diplomacy. The Civilian Headquarters is a non-profit organization. We've raised donations, but without government support, we won't be able to make significant progress", Batito begins the interview. His words reflect the constant tension between the urgent need for public diplomacy activities and the limited resources available to the organization.

Batito emphasizes the uniqueness of the Headquarters: "We're proud to have a team of volunteers who are not only passionate about their work but also experts in their fields. Our team members come from diverse backgrounds and are committed to providing accurate information about Israel to audiences around the world". This diversity, he says, allows the Headquarters to address a wide range of public diplomacy challenges.

The Headquarters, which includes over 2,000 volunteers aged 13 and up, operates non-stop, primarily in English, aiming to reach target audiences abroad and reduce antisemitism. "Since the start of the war, we've worked very hard", Batito says. "Many people wanted to volunteer and contribute, but people get used to war". This statement reflects the ongoing challenge of maintaining public awareness and involvement over time.

Despite impressive achievements, Batito again emphasizes the need for government support: "The Civilian Public Diplomacy Headquarters has many collaborations, but without government support, it will be difficult for us to survive". He mentions visits by senior figures to the Headquarters, including Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and many Knesset members, who emphasized the importance of the Headquarters and the quality of public diplomacy it provides.

Beyond his activities at the Public Diplomacy Headquarters, Batito reveals another side of his personality: "I'm also an event producer and manage the 'Crush Tel Aviv' party line". He talks about his friendship with Diva Goldstar and his commitment to giving opportunities to young artists. This combination of public diplomacy and cultural activities demonstrates Batito's multidimensional approach to promoting Israel's image.

Throughout the interview, Eliav Batito addresses complex issues such as antisemitism, politics, and racism. He emphasizes Israel's strengths alongside the challenges it still faces. "We're strong in innovation, technology, and national resilience", he says, "but we still have a lot of work to do in the field of public diplomacy and public diplomacy".

In conclusion, the interview with Eliav Batito reveals the complexity and challenges facing Israel in the global public diplomacy arena. The Civilian Public Diplomacy Headquarters, under his leadership, represents a significant effort to combat antisemitism and promote a better understanding of Israel in the world. However, the struggle is far from over, and the need for government support and public involvement remains critical to the success of the mission.

A Hamas delegation visit to Moscow is scheduled for June 24 against the backdrop of antisemitic incidents and the arson of two synagogues. Moscow officially supports Hamas and views the organization as a political movement fighting for Palestinian freedom. It should be noted that following the events of October 7, Moscow unilaterally announced its recognition of the State of Palestine and opened a Palestinian embassy in Moscow.

In Moscow, Hamas representatives are expected to meet with high-ranking officials from the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Palestinian delegation will be led by Musa Abu Marzuk, deputy head of Hamas's political bureau. It's worth noting that in late October of last year, Hamas representatives were invited to Moscow, and Russia reaffirmed its unwavering position on establishing a "sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital".

"Hamas highly appreciates the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the efforts of active Russian diplomacy", the organization stated.

In early October, Vladimir Putin called the blockade of the Palestinian enclave unacceptable and compared Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip to the Nazi siege of Leningrad in 1941-1944.

However, on October 7, Hamas kidnapped and abused Jews with dual citizenship (Russian and Israeli). This fact did not concern Putin, and Russia took no action to free the hostages.

A grim Saturday morning turned into a scene of tragedy when an Israeli citizen was found shot dead in his car in the city of Qalqilya in the Palestinian Authority territory. The shocking incident, which occurred in the early morning hours, led to the immediate mobilization of Israeli security forces and the launch of a large-scale investigation.

According to preliminary reports, the victim entered the city in his personal vehicle under circumstances that are yet to be determined. Shortly after, a report was received of gunfire directed at an Israeli vehicle. Palestinian Red Crescent teams were the first to arrive at the scene and provided first aid to the wounded man, whose condition was determined to be critical.

Through joint efforts of security services and civil administration officers, an agreement was reached to transfer the wounded man for medical treatment in Israel. Unfortunately, attempts to save his life were unsuccessful, and he was soon pronounced dead. His body was transported by a Magen David Adom ambulance waiting at Checkpoint 422 near the city.

Footage circulated on Palestinian social media shows the victim's burning car with Israeli license plates. Initial assessments suggest that the car was set on fire by the attackers after the shooting, likely in an attempt to destroy evidence.

IDF and Israeli police forces are currently operating in the Qalqilya area, attempting to locate suspects and gather evidence that will help solve the crime. Additional footage from the scene shows armored IDF vehicles moving through the city, indicating the scale of the security operation being conducted in the area.

An IDF spokesperson stated: "IDF forces are currently operating in the Qalqilya area after an Israeli citizen was declared dead shortly after being found shot in the area. IDF and Israeli police forces are investigating the circumstances of the incident."

This tragic incident raises pressing questions about security in the region and the future of relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. High-ranking security officials are expected to convene an urgent meeting on the matter soon, and it is anticipated that the results of the investigation may influence future policies in the region.

More details about the victim's identity and the circumstances of his arrival in Qalqilya are expected to be published in the coming hours. The family of the deceased has stated that they will make a press statement after being informed of all the details of the incident.

On 6/18, sirens sounded in the Gaza Strip and Kiryat Shmona in the north, following six rockets that fell in the Manara area with no casualties. In response, the IDF Northern Command chief approved plans for a possible military attack in Lebanon.

In a separate incident, IDF troops thwarted a stabbing attack attempt by a Palestinian terrorist in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank. The terrorist was neutralized during the attempt to attack the troops. The fragile security situation led the American envoy to Israel and Lebanon, Amos Hochstein, to describe during his visit to Lebanon that "we are going through difficult times."

Concerns about an escalation against Hezbollah increased after the organization released a video showing a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that filmed strategic military sites in the Haifa Bay area. The IDF confirmed it identified four Hezbollah UAVs this week, intercepted two of them, and identified the fourth but decided not to intercept it to avoid setting off sirens in the north.

In the coming days, the state leadership and military will convene to discuss the military response to recent events against the backdrop of escalation in the south and north, and assess the risk of a broad outbreak of fighting.

21:34, IDF Spokesperson:

"Documentation: The IDF continues to strike Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon; in parallel, a suspicious aerial target was successfully intercepted over the maritime area near Jisr al-Zrqa.

Over the last hour, IAF fighter jets struck a number of Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon.
Among the targets struck were several infrastructure sites of the organization in the areas of Al-Taybeh, Al-Adaysseh and Al-Jbayn, and a military compound in the area of Aita al-Shaab.

Earlier in the evening, Air Defense troops successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target over the maritime area near Jisr al-Zrqa. No alert was activated in accordance with policy."

In MMA, conflicts sometimes extend beyond the arena, manifesting in real-world tensions and dramatic confrontations.

One such case involves Israeli MMA star and fifth-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Haim Gozali, and prominent Chechen fighter Khamzat Chimaev. This story is a blend of combat skills, political dispute, and personal survival.

Haim Gozali found himself at the center of a storm after a controversial social media post. Gozali wrote a post naming four Muslim UFC fighters – Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev, and Belal Muhammad. The post quickly provoked numerous reactions, including death threats, especially from terror supporter Khamzat Chimaev.

Chimaev sent a personal death threat to Gozali, who responded by challenging him to a submission-only Jiu-Jitsu match:

Death Threats and Assassination Attempt.

The threats escalated dramatically following the controversial post. Recently, Gozali survived an assassination attempt in Ukraine, an event highlighting the severity of the hostility towards him.

According to Gozali, he, his son Elad, and their trainer Ben El Hassid arrived at a hotel near the Romanian border for an MMA competition. Shortly after their arrival, they were allegedly targeted for assassination. The group managed to escape to the hotel's roof, where they reportedly received little assistance from local police – read more

Following the harrowing experience, Gozali turned to social media to express his frustration and concern. Gozali pointed to ongoing threats from various sources and prominent MMA figures, specifically naming Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev as possible orchestrators behind the assassination attempt.

Despite the Danger, Gozali Remains Defiant.

On June 14, Khamzat Chimaev voluntarily admitted himself to a medical institution. Sources close to him reported that he is undergoing evaluation and receiving treatment.

The president of the American UFC organization, Dana White, announced the cancellation of Khamzat Chimaev's next fight, as reported by Tengri Sport (according to reports from the fighter's associates, he suffers from a heart disease causing contractions).

It should be noted that Khamzat Chimaev was supposed to face Australian Robert Whittaker (25-7) in the main event of the UFC event in Saudi Arabia on June 22. Instead of Chimaev, Akreem Alieskerov (15-1) will enter the arena.

It's important to remember that Khamzat Chimaev openly supports Hamas without shame, calls them "brothers," and publicly posts images with the flag of the non-existent Palestinian state.

It's not surprising that in "friendly" Russia, Hamas and Hezbollah are considered political organizations fighting for freedom. Therefore, terror supporters like Khamzat Chimaev (Russia, Chechen region) can freely enter Israel without visas, as there is a visa-free entry agreement between Israel and Russia, and there are aviation ties.

On this matter, Sharon Haskel, in an interview with Maakav, stated that there are quite a few discussions about severing international ties with Russia.

Besides his Russian citizenship, Chimaev also holds Swedish citizenship. He loves Russia and Chechnya very much but prefers to reside in Sweden.

Additionally, Chimaev is an admirer of Ramzan Kadyrov (Chechnya, Russia), who has destroyed more than 10,000 homosexuals and representatives of the LGBTQ+ community in Chechnya (Russia has no official statistics on the destruction of homosexuals and the LGBTQ+ community; the data is collected by European human rights organizations).

It should be said that Mr. Khamzat Chimaev hates Ukraine and supports Putin's policy of murdering innocent civilians in Ukraine.

(Russia was declared a terrorist state by the UN and the European Union (2022), and Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for crimes in Ukraine)

Let's recall that Russia openly supports Hamas, and in October 2023, it demonstratively hosted Hamas and Iranian leaders in Moscow.

Also, Chimaev publicly supported fascist pogroms against Jews in Dagestan, the first pogrom against Jews in the 21st century (the event occurred at the airport upon the landing of a plane from Tel Aviv – read more).

It is highly likely that terror supporter Chimaev will not return to sports due to his heart disease!
