President Joe Biden used a rare Oval Office address Thursday night to forcefully advocate for aiding both Israel and Ukraine.And he laid out a dark vision of what would happen should that aid, along with America’s larger commitment to defending democracy, not be delivered.President Joe Biden used a rare Oval Office address Thursday night to forcefully advocate for aiding both Israel and Ukraine.And he laid out a dark vision of what would happen should that aid, along with America’s larger commitment to defending democracy, not be delivered.“History has taught us, when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising,” Biden said.Biden’s speech came a day after he returned from a whirlwind trip to Israel to stand in solidarity with its longtime ally.

Former Liam Byrne staff win payouts over bungled Commons bullying probe

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:03:04 GMT

LONDON — Former aides of newly-elected Commons committee chair Liam Byrne have received thousands of pounds of compensation from the taxpayer following a bungled inquiry into allegations he bullied a member of staff. At least four of Byrne’s former employees received payoffs this month after parliament’s independent complaints system — the ICGS — breached their anonymity while investigating bullying claims. A complaint against him was upheld.Labour MP Byrne narrowly won a contest to chair the business and trade committee this week. Five people who previously worked for him, including three who received compensation, told POLITICO they are dismayed by the development. The ICGS revealed witnesses’ identities to Byrne during its probe into claims he bullied a member of staff, despite assurances they would remain anonymous. Subsequently, he messaged and called a number of them. In response, the former aides took legal action against the ICGS and each received four figure payoffs for fro...

Biden’s Middle East challenge

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:03:04 GMT

Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.”When United States President Joe Biden decided to travel to Israel this week, his immediate objective was to express solidarity with Israel, to avoid escalating the war beyond Gaza and to ask tough questions about the strategy Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet were pursuing. But even before Air Force One could take off, the fallout from the horrific bombing of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza late Tuesday night had called all three of these goals into question.The bombing killed nearly 500 and wounded hundreds more, signaling that concerns about a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza were now displacing the shared anger and grief that had followed the previous week’s brutal terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians.Fury on the Arab streets has now made the prospect of escalation more likely.

Waffles and lasagne: The complicated politics of food

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:03:04 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.We now have an answer to the biggest food question Belgium has ever faced (and no, the question is not ‘What’s the deal with chicory?’). The real question is which are better, Liège waffles or Brussels waffles? It’s the former. Not my words, the words of the most decorated gymnast in history, Simone Biles. The owner of seven Olympic medals, Biles wrote on the artist formerly known as Twitter: “still dreaming about the waffles from belgium” (Americans no longer use capital letters on social media to compensate for all those years of Donald Trump abusing the caps lock key).Asked which type of waffle she prefers, Biles simply wrote “Liege” and three drooling face emojis.Belgian politicians do of course like to use culinary terms to describe their ridiculously complicated ways of doing things. There’s “waffle-iron politics,” whereby for every euro (or franc, for older readers...

After Brussels attack, Swedes fear becoming a target for terrorists

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:03:04 GMT

STOCKHOLM — Outside Sweden’s national sports arena, two framed football shirts sit beneath a flag at half-mast, a memorial to the two fans killed by a terrorist in Brussels on Monday night, and a reminder to passers-by to be vigilant for follow-up attacks. “I hope this is the last time this kind of thing happens,” said Kent Åberg, a 62-year-old airport worker who had come to pay his respects. “But I’m looking over my shoulder.”Stockholm is on edge after the shooting deaths of two fans ahead of an international football match in Brussels between Sweden and Belgium. The Tunisian asylum seeker who pulled the trigger said in a social media post he had targeted Swedes as “revenge in the name of Muslims.” The shooter was later killed by police. The attack followed months of rising anger toward Sweden after copies of the Quran were burned by far-right activist Rasmus Paludan and then later in the year by Iraqi protester Salwan Momika. At the same time, a long-running online disin...

Ukraine’s top prosecutor vows to meet key EU membership conditions within months

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:03:04 GMT

Ukraine is accelerating its drive to clean up its politics and will meet all the EU’s anti-corruption requirements within months, in what would be a major boost to its bid to join the 27-member bloc, the country’s top prosecutor told POLITICO.“I am fully sure that all the elements of the anti-corruption and law enforcement reforms [required by the EU] will be completed in coming months,” Andrii Kostyn said in an interview at Ukraine’s mission to the EU in Brussels. “I am absolutely sure.”But the prosecutor also warned that high-profile cases such as the detention of Ukraine’s former Supreme Court chief were being used by some who want to stop the country joining the EU. Earlier this month, former European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said in an interview that Ukraine was “totally corrupt.”In addition to Juncker’s comments, a leaked report from the U.S. State Department, obtained by POLITICO, showed that Washington was more concerned about corruption in Ukraine ...
