Global Fault Lines: Guardiola Backs Palestine, Syria Burns, Oil Flows.

Guardiola Voices Support for Palestine as Rafah Crossing Reopens

Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola publicly renewed his support for Palestine at a charity event in Barcelona on Thursday, while the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened with limitations, and Kurdish forces faced setbacks in Syria. Guardiola, wearing a keffiyeh scarf, condemned the global silence surrounding the suffering of Palestinian children in Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

Guardiola's appearance at the Barcelona event caused him to miss his usual pre-weekend news conference on Friday, Sky News reported. He expressed his pain at witnessing the suffering of children, stating, "Good evening, salam alaikum, how wonderful."

Meanwhile, the Rafah crossing reopened on Sunday, allowing people to cross from Gaza to Egypt and back, according to Sky News. However, the reopening is limited, with only specific individuals permitted to travel from Egypt into Gaza, primarily those returning to their "devastated homeland." The reopening will also allow up to 20,000 people to leave Gaza for medical treatment, according to Adam Parsons, Middle East correspondent for Sky News.

In Syria, Kurdish-led forces are facing increasing pressure, with their semi-autonomous region rapidly shrinking, Sky News reported. Kurdish leaders have warned that their way of life and political future are at risk. Damascus is demanding that Kurdish fighters disarm and integrate into the national army, according to Alex Rossi, international correspondent for Sky News, reporting from Hasakah, Syria. Rossi noted that Kurdish fighters remain a sizeable military force, with some vowing to "fight until the end."

In Venezuela, interim president Delcy Rodriguez signed a law opening the country's oil sector to privatization, Sky News reported. The National Assembly approved the bill on Thursday to attract foreign investment, coinciding with the US easing sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry. The move authorizes US firms to buy, sell, transport, store, and refine Venezuelan crude oil, but does not lift all sanctions.
