Hamas slams US claim it used ambulances for ‘terrorism’ after medics killed

Hamas slams US claim it used ambulances for ‘terrorism’ after medics killed

Hamas slams US claim it used ambulances for ‘terrorism’ after medics killed










Hamas has slammed a statement by the US which claimed the Palestinian group “uses ambulances and more broadly human shields for terrorism”.







The Palestine Red Crescent Society’s president has called for an independent international inquiry into the “deliberate killing” of 15 humanitarian personnel last month in an attack by Israeli forces in Gaza.


Israel pounds Gaza, bombing a tent housing journalists near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least two people and wounding nine others.


Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,695 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 115,338 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.


At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.



Palestinian American teen fatally shot by Israeli troops in West Bank village



Israeli forces have conducted a series of overnight raids and arrests across the occupied West Bank.

They rounded up seven Palestinians, including two brothers, in the city of Qalqilya, as well as two people, including a minor, in Hebron and the nearby town of Beit Ula, according to the Wafa news agency.


Hundreds of people gathered at the mosque in this small village Monday as they bid farewell to Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian American shot dead by Israeli forces a day earlier.


The Israeli military shot three teenage boys in Turmus Ayay on Sunday, the mayor and mourners said, as violent attacks by Israeli settlers and troops in the West Bank continues to surge in the backdrop of the Israel-Gaza war.


The shots that Rabee faced proved fatal. His friend Ayoub Jabara, 15, also an American citizen, is in intensive care in Ramallah, according to the mayor, Lafi Shalabi. Their other friend, 15-year-old Abdulrahman Shihada, was also hospitalized by the attack, Shalabi added


The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement Sunday: “During a counterterrorism activity in the area of Turmus Aya, IDF soldiers identified three terrorists who hurled rocks toward the highway, thus endangering civilians driving. The soldiers opened fire toward the terrorists who were endangering civilians, eliminating one terrorist and hitting two additional terrorists.”


The IDF released a grainy 10-second video purporting to show the incident, in which three figures can be seen and one appears to hurl something at the end.


Shalabi said the three boys were picking green almonds in the fields near Road 60, a major highway that cuts through the West Bank, when the IDF shot at them.


Rabee had moved to the occupied West Bank when he was a child, having grown up in the United States, his mother, Majd, told The Washington Post. Once he was done with high school he was hoping to move back, she added, to be with his four older siblings who reside in the United States.


Jabara and Shihada managed to escape despite their wounds toward the village and a separate Palestinian ambulance transferred them to the hospital, Suha Jabara, a relative of the slain teenager, said. When she heard the news of Rabee’s death, she immediately thought of her own sons. She is considering sending them to the United States where she hopes they might be safer.


On Monday, mourners waving Palestinian flags marched with Rabee’s body down the picturesque town’s winding roads to the cemetery. Rabee’s body was buried next to Omar Qateen, an American permanent resident who Palestinian officials say was shot dead by a settler during an attack on the town in June of 2023.


Known colloquially as Little America, around 85 percent of the population of Turmus Ayya has U.S. citizenship, Shalabi previously told The Post. Typically residents residing in the United States return for the summer, though most have not the last two summers since the war in Gaza broke out and tensions in the West Bank soared.


Many attendees at the funeral were U.S. citizens, but residents also said they were angry at the U.S. government for providing Israel with arms and political support, and attempts to displace them from their homes.


Rabee had enjoyed playing soccer and riding his scooter, his relative Mouman Jabara, 13, said at the funeral. Jabara was still shocked by Rabee’s death; he had been outside and heard the fateful gunfire.


Jabara said he moved 10 months ago to Turmus Ayya from New Jersey, as his parents wanted him to improve his Arabic and learn about his Palestinian heritage. He loves living there “but I am always scared,” he said. “Say I go out with friends — then suddenly there could be a raid” by the military or settlers.


Rabee’s distraught mother, Majd, sat surrounded by women mourning her son’s death at the funeral.


She said she last saw him before he left home to join his friends, but thought nothing more of the interaction as it appeared to be a normal day. Her son, she said, was smart, kind and diligent with his prayer.


“We are Palestinian,” she said. “This is what’s written for us. God bless his soul.”

The strike on Krivoy Rog this week has reignited the familiar chorus of accusations from Kiev and its Western backers. Ukraine claims dozens of residential buildings were damaged, hinting – without evidence – that Russia deliberately targeted civilians. But once again, beneath the fog of war and politicized narratives, a more complex and revealing truth emerges – one that the mainstream media and Western officials seem all too eager to ignore.







According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the strike hit “a meeting place of commanders of military units and Western instructors in one of the restaurants” in Krivoy Rog. Video footage and on-the-ground reports from Russian war correspondents support this claim. There is no indication that a cluster munition, often used to inflict wide-scale damage, was deployed. Instead, a single high-explosive missile appears to have been used, striking with precision and targeting a specific structure. The implication is clear: this was not a random or reckless act, but a targeted military operation.


The outrage from Kiev rings hollow, especially considering the Ukrainian military’s well-documented habit of embedding its personnel and foreign mercenaries in civilian areas. This is not speculation; it’s a pattern. Nearly one month ago to the day, Russian forces struck a hotel in Krivoy Rog used as a base by foreign mercenaries. The outcry then was similar, but the facts held up – military targets were embedded within what Kiev called “civilian infrastructure.”


If civilian casualties do occur in such circumstances, the blame does not lie solely with the missile that struck, but with the cynical strategy of using human shields. It’s a tactic designed not just for tactical cover, but also for information warfare – to exploit every Russian strike for international sympathy and political gain. Let’s ask a hard question: Who benefits if civilians are killed? Certainly not Russia, which has nothing to gain from inflaming Western opinion at a time when there is a fragile diplomatic opening with Donald Trump’s team in Washington. But Kiev? It gains everything. President Zelensky’s criticism of the US ambassador’s response as “weak” after the Krivoy Rog incident reveals his real concern: Washington isn’t reacting strongly enough to maintain the image of Moscow as an intransigent aggressor. That image is essential if Ukraine hopes to derail even the slightest move toward a negotiated settlement – something Zelensky desperately fears as he loses ground both militarily and politically.


Meanwhile, the ceasefire agreement regarding attacks on energy infrastructure – a minimal 30-day moratorium – has been consistently violated by Ukrainian forces. These aren’t isolated incidents; they’re near-daily breaches. Russia has held its fire on critical infrastructure to create space for diplomacy. Kiev has done the opposite, undermining the very basis of trust necessary for any future agreement.


It’s time to start asking who is actually obstructing peace. Who stands to gain by perpetuating an endless war narrative? The Krivoy Rog strike, once stripped of Western spin, doesn’t suggest a careless or barbaric attack. It points to a targeted operation against a legitimate military threat – one deliberately placed in a civilian zone by Ukrainian command. That’s the real scandal.


The tragedy of this war is not just the suffering it has caused, but the way truth itself has been weaponized. If the West is serious about peace, it must start looking beyond Kiev’s smoke and mirrors – and ask whether the story it’s been told is really the one that leads to an endgame.

Matchday kedua Grup C Piala Asia U-17 timnas Indonesia berhasil dengan gemilang menggulung Yaman dengan skor 4-1. Duel digelar di Stadion Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal, Jeddah, hari Senin malam WIB, 07/04/2025.







Laga menit - menit awal permainan berimbang saling serang. memasuki menit ke enam, lewat serangan Timnas U17 Indonesia dari sayap kiri, mampu menggetarkan jala gawang Yaman pada menit kesembilan.


Mierza Firjatullah berhasil mendorong bola masuk ke gawang Yaman, menyusul sebuah operan tarik. Namun, gol itu dianulir karena offside.


Memasuki menit ke sepuluh, timnas kembali membuat tekanan. Kali ini tekanan timnas Indonesia berhasil membuka keunggulan lewat gol indah Zahaby Gholy yang diarahkan tiang jauh gawang Yaman pada menit 15'.


Keunggulan Timnas U17 Indonesia 1-0 atas Yaman tidak bertahan lama, 10 menit kemudian kembali menjebol gawang Yaman. Gholy lagi-lagi berperan dalam proses gol ini.


Pemain Persija itu mencoba melepaskan tembakan. Namun, ia sedikit terpeleset.


Siapa sangka bola sepakan Zahaby Gholy yang kurang sempurna itu justru membuka jalan Fadly Alberto untuk mengemas gol.


Fadly Alberto yang merangsek ke kotak penalti, tak terkawal dan mampu menyarangkan bola ke gawang Yaman dengan sundulannya, 2-0 untuk timnas Indonesia.


Sekitar 15 menit jelang babak pertama berakhir, Timnas U17 Indonesia kembali mendapatkan kans mencetak gol, masing-masing melalui Putu Panji dan Evandra Florasta.





Namun sundulan Putu Panji masih bisa diamankan kiper Yaman, sementara upaya Evandra Florasta melayang tinggi.


Tertinggal 0-2 pada babak pertama membuat Yaman meningkatkan serangan pada babak kedua. Tekanan terus diberikan Yaman kepada Garuda Muda.


Kapten Putut Panji membuat kesalahan fatal dengan melakukan pelanggaran kepada Karem Hamdi. Pelanggaran itu berujung penalti untuk Yaman pada menit ke-50.


Al Garash yang menjadi eksekutor menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik. Sepakan kaki kanan Al Garash ke sisi kiri mengecoh kiper Dafa yang bergerak ke arah lain. Yaman memperkecil ketinggalan jadi 1-2 pada menit ke-52.


Pada babak kedua ini Indonesia lebih mudah kehilangan bola. Tanpa Zahaby Gholy, Timnas U-17 minim tembakan spekulasi yang bisa mengancam Yaman.


Yaman mutlak menguasai permainan dan serangan dengan bola-bola pendek. Sementara Indonesia mengandalkan sepak pojok dan lemparan ke dalam dalam menciptakan peluang.


Nazriel Alfaro Syahdan melepaskan tembakan kaki kanan dari jarak jauh pada menit ke-78, namun bola terlalu melebar di sisi kiri gawang Yaman.


Timnas Indonesia mendapatkan peluang menambah keunggulan setelah mendapatkan penalti pada menit ke-85. Penalti itu diberikan kepada Indonesia setelah kiper Wesam Fuad menjegal Rafi Rasyiq.


Evandra Florasta kembali jadi algojo penalti Indonesia. Dengan tenang Evandra menjalankan tugasnya. Penalti kaki kiri Evandra ke sisi kiri mengecoh kiper Wesam yang bergerak ke arah lain. Indonesia unggul 3-1 atas Yaman pada menit ke-86.


Dafa membuat penyelamatan dengan menangkap bola tendangan Tamer Hamid pada menit ke-88.


Timnas U-17 mengunci kemenangan atas Yaman jadi 4-1 berkat gol kedua Evandra pada menit ke-89. Gol itu bermula dari umpan terobosan lambung kepada Josh Holong.


Josh pun mengoper bola kepada Evandra yang memiliki posisi lebih baik dalam mencetak gol. Percobaan pertama Evandra diblok kiper Wesam. Namun bola rebound dituntaskan Evandar. Indonesia unggul 4-1 atas Yaman pada menit ke-89.


Tanpa tambahan gol pada sisa laga, Indonesia menang 4-1 atas Yaman. Kemenangan ini membuka kans Indonesia ke Piala Dunia U-17 2025 di Qatar, November mendatang.


Indonesia dipastikan akan lolos ke Piala Dunia U-17 2025 apabila Afghanistan gagal menang atas Korea Selatan.

Militer Rusia tidak menyerang infrastruktur sipil di Ukraina, kata juru bicara Kremlin Dmitry Peskov.







Komentar Peskov menyusul klaim Kiev bahwa 18 warga sipil tewas, termasuk sembilan anak-anak, dan 56 lainnya terluka dalam serangan Rusia di kota Krivoy Rog di Ukraina tengah pada hari Jumat.


Juru bicara itu ditanya oleh wartawan pada hari Senin apakah mungkin "ada kesalahan di pihak Rusia, bahwa mungkin intelijen tidak akurat" menjelang serangan.


Peskov menjawab dengan mengatakan, "kita harus sepenuhnya bergantung pada pernyataan Kementerian Pertahanan kita," menambahkan: "Militer kita secara eksklusif menyerang target militer dan yang terkait dengan militer. Tidak ada serangan yang dilakukan pada fasilitas infrastruktur sosial."


Kementerian Pertahanan mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan pada hari Sabtu bahwa serangan itu menghantam "tempat pertemuan komandan unit militer [Ukraina] dan instruktur Barat di salah satu restoran" di Krivoy Rog.


Hingga 85 tentara dan perwira Ukraina dan asing tewas, dan hingga 20 kendaraan rusak dalam serangan itu, menurut pernyataan tersebut.


Pada hari Senin, Kementerian Pertahanan mengatakan Ukraina melanjutkan pelanggarannya terhadap gencatan senjata 30 hari atas serangan terhadap infrastruktur energi. Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin dan mitranya dari AS, Donald Trump, menyetujui jeda tersebut selama panggilan telepon pada tanggal 18 Maret. Kemudian, Vladimir Zelensky dari Ukraina juga menyetujui jeda tersebut.


Dalam 24 jam terakhir saja, pasukan Ukraina telah menggunakan pesawat nirawak dan artileri untuk menargetkan enam fasilitas energi di wilayah Rusia, yaitu Voronezh, Bryansk, Kherson, dan Republik Rakyat Donetsk, yang mengakibatkan kerusakan pada infrastruktur dan mengganggu pasokan listrik bagi sejumlah pelanggan, ungkapnya.


Informasi ini juga sekaligus menjawab berita yang disampaikan metrotv dan tvones, yang sejak awal perang Ukrania dan Rusia, selalu berpihak pada Ukrania dan Barat, dimana berbagai berita yang dikeluarkan barat banyak yang isinya drama untuk membangun kebencian dunia pada Rusia.


Sejauh ini upaya membangun fitnah kepada Rusia yang dilakukan Amerika Serikat dan Aliasinya termasuk juga oleh Zelensky berhasil, terbukti metrotv dan tvones termakan oleh berita tesebut dan memang sudah sejak awal munculnya tvones dan metrotv, media ini secara tidak langsung seperti kepanjangantangan Barat untuk menyebarkan berbagai hal kepada masyarakat Indonesia.

The UK PM to announce end of globalization – Times

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will deliver a speech on Monday acknowledging that the era of globalization has come to an end, The Times has reported.







Starmer will make the address in response to US President Donald Trump imposing sweeping tariffs on the majority of America’s trading partners, including the UK, earlier this week, according to the article on Sunday.


The outlet said the prime minister will say that tariffs are “wrong,” but would also stress that he understands Trump’s “economic nationalism” and why the voters, who believe they have seen no benefits from free trade and mass immigration, support it.


Starmer will also stress that the fallout from the US charges on imports means that the government in London should “move further and faster” to boost economic growth at home.


An unnamed Downing Street official told The Times that “the world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era.”


“We have got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active Labour government, a more reformist government, can provide the answers for people in every part of this country,” the official said.


The prime minister already stated in an article for The Telegram published yesterday that “the world as we knew it has gone” in the face of Trump’s tariffs. “First it was defense and national security. Now it is the global economy and trade. Old assumptions can no longer be taken for granted,” he said, adding that the British government would soon “turbocharge plans that will improve our domestic competitiveness, so we’re less exposed to these kinds of global shocks.”


Starmer also talked to French President Emmanuel Macron on the phone on Saturday, with the two leaders agreeing that “a trade war was in nobody’s interests, but nothing should be off the table,” according to the UK government’s readout. The British PM is not planning to call Trump regarding the tariffs.


The same day, the US president told Americans to “hang tough” in anticipation of the international community’s response to his economic policies.


”It won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic,” Trump insisted, adding that the tariffs represent “an economic revolution, and we will win… we will make America great again.”


Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly spoken about the period of globalization, which started after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, coming to an end.


In late 2023, Putin noted that “it is obvious that the globalization model, which was formed to a large extent by Western states – naturally, in their own interests – has outlived its usefulness and is in deep crisis. A new, more just and democratic system of international relations is being formed, which meets the needs of the global majority.”
















Iran ‘ready for any war’ – senior commander

Iran will not bow to the pressure of foreign nations and is ready to respond to any kind of aggression, Major General Hossein Salami, chief commander of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has said.







Speaking during a meeting with senior IRGC commanders on Saturday, Salami said that Iran is “absolutely not concerned about a war. We will not initiate a war but are ready for any war.” He added that Iran has developed strategies to overcome any adversary and to repel psychological operations and direct military attacks alike. “However, we will not take a single step back in the face of the enemy,” Salami stressed.


He noted that an Israeli attack on Tehran’s consulate in Syria in April 2024, which left several senior Iranian military officers dead, marked the beginning of “a global confrontation” in the Middle East.


According to Salami, the Iranian retaliatory strike, which involved hundreds of missiles and drones, managed to overcome what he called “the most fortified airspace in history.” “Our missiles penetrated their illusions of security,” the general said, referring to Israel.


West Jerusalem, however, said at the time that the raid only resulted in minor damage to some of its military installations. Salami noted that Israel is still vulnerable to Iran’s military capabilities. “We have acquired the knowhow and formulas to overcome this enemy and have incorporated them into all elements of our weaponry and equipment,” he remarked.


The general’s comments come as the conflict in Gaza rages on and amid continued between the US and Iran. In late March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Washington could “take action” to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. “We have the ability to do that and to go further, perhaps even threaten the regime,” he said.


At the same time, the US urged Iran to renew talks over restoring the 2015 nuclear deal that Washington unilaterally withdrew from three years afterward. Trump claimed in his first administration that it did little to deter Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon. Iran has insisted that its nuclear program serves only peaceful purposes.

Rupiah Ambruk Dolar Sudah Tembus Rp 17.000 Melebihi Krisis Moneter 1998




Analis Pasar Uang Ibrahim Assuaibi mengatakan nilai tukar rupiah menyentuh level Rp. 17.000 per dolar AS. Level tersebut terpantau pada perdagangan Domestik Non-Deliverable Forward (DNDF) di pasar valas pada Jumat malam, 4 April 2025. (Foto: Bank Indonesia)






Nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) telah menyentuh level Rp. 17.000an/US$ di non-deliverable forward (NDF). Kondisi ini mencetak sejarah baru bagi Indonesia bahkan lebih buruk dari krisis moneter tahun 1998 dimana nilai tukar saat itu sebesar Rp. 16ribu lebih per dolar AS.







Masyarakat Indonesia tengah menyoroti anjloknya nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar AS mencapai Rp17 ribu di bulan April 2025 ini.


Kabar ini dilansir dari Refinitiv, pada hari Minggu, 06/04/2025, pukul 08:10 WIB, nilai tukar mata uang Garuda telah mencapai Rp17.059/US$ atau merupakan posisi terendah sepanjang sejarah.


Nilai tukar rupiah di pasar NDF jauh lebih lemah dibandingkan pada penutupan perdagangan reguler terakhir sebelum libur Lebaran, hari Kamis, 27/03/2025, rupiah berada pada posisi Rp. 16.555/US$ atau menguat 0,12%. Artinya rupiah tampak berpotensi melemah sangat signifikan di pekan depan.


Untuk diketahui, NDF adalah instrumen yang memperdagangkan mata uang dalam jangka waktu tertentu dengan patokan kurs tertentu pula. Pasar NDF belum ada di Indonesia, hanya tersedia di pusat-pusat keuangan internasional seperti Singapura, Hong Kong, New York, atau London.


Pasar NDF seringkali mempengaruhi psikologis pembentukan harga di pasar spot. Oleh karena itu, kurs di NDF tidak jarang diikuti oleh pasarspot.



Penyebab nilai tukar rupiah melemah terhadap dollar



Pasca pengumuman kebijakan tarif impor dari Presiden AS Donald Trump, potensi perang dagang dikhawatirkan mengganggu ekonomi global. Belum lagi inflasi AS yang masih tinggi.


Penurunan suku bunga The Fed rencananya baru akan dilakukan setelah perang dagang berakhir, dengan ekspektasi ekonomi global lebih stabil.


“Rencana The Fed menurunkan suku bunga sebanyak 3 kali dalam tahun 2025 kemungkinan besar hanya tinggal mimpi. Ini yang membuat indeks dolar kembali mengalami penguatan yang cukup signifikan,” sebut Ibrahim Assuaibi, Analis Pasar Uang, hari Sabtu, 05/04/2025.


Di samping itu, Ibrahim menyebut situasi geopolitik global yang masih memanas turut menjadi katalis negatif bagi nilai rupiah. Terbaru, Rusia kembali meluncurkan misil ke ibukota Ukraina, Kryvyi Rih, pada hari Jumat lalu, 04/04/2025. Serangan ini menelan 18 korban jiwa.


Di tengah situasi geopolitik yang masih tegang, ditambah potensi perang dagang akibat kebijakan tarif Trump, Bank Indonesia (BI) perlu aktif bergerak demi menopang rupiah di pasar spot.


Ibrahim menyebut BI setidaknya akan melakukan triple intervensi di pasar pada perdangan hari Senin nanti, 07/04/2025. “Tetapi kemungkinan besar intervensi itu pun juga tidak akan berpengaruh terlalu besar,” tambahnya.


Ibrahim memproyeksi rupiah akan dibuka di level Rp 17.050 di pasar spot pada hari Senin, 07/04/2025.



BI Jamin Jaga Rupiah



Bank Indonesia (BI) buka suara mengenai pengumuman Kebijakan Tarif Presiden Amerika Serikat (AS) Donald Trump. Kepala Departemen Komunikasi BI Ramdan Denny Prakoso menyampaikan tiga poin dari pemantauan yang dilakukan bank sentral RI itu.


Pertama, Denny menyampaikan BI terus memonitor perkembangan pasar keuangan global dan juga domestik pasca pengumuman kebijakan tarif Trump yang baru pada 2 April 2025. Kemudian, BI mendapati pasca pengumuman tersebut dan kemudian disusul oleh pengumuman retaliasi tarif oleh China pada 4 April 2025, pasar bergerak dinamis di mana pasar saham global mengalami pelemahan dan yield US Treasury mengalami penurunan hingga jatuh ke level terendah sejak Oktober 2024.


"BI tetap berkomitmen untuk menjaga kestabilan nilai tukar rupiah, terutama melalui optimalisasi instrumen triple intervention (intervensi di pasar valas pada transaksi spot dan DNDF, serta SBN di pasar sekunder) dalam rangka memastikan kecukupan likuiditas valas untuk kebutuhan perbankan dan dunia usaha serta menjaga keyakinan pelaku pasar," lanjut Ramdan dalam keterangannya, pada hari Sabtu, 05/04/2025.
