PM #Modi’s body language with France’s President is very different. With other leaders he is seen passing jokes and hugging, but with Macron he shares a diff chemistry. The videos will show it more clearly! I have noticed the same vibe when he’s with #MBZ (UAE’s president). 
Adding Netanyahu (Israel) and Abe (Japan) to the list. Its a lil diff with the current leaders of the same countries.
Go ahead rate PM Modi’s bonding with others. Rate them out of 10

BREAKING: #UAE President #KhalifabinZayed just died. Crown Prince of #AbuDhabi since 1969, and Abu Dhabi Ruler & President since his father Sheikh Zayed died in 2004. The #BurjKhalifa was initially named to honor him.
A few words on him + what happens now in a thread. 1/

After #KhalifabinZayed suffered a stroke in 2014, his younger brother Mohammad bin Zayed (#MbZ) became de facto leader of the #UAE. Now the Federal Supreme Council (including the rulers of the 7 Emirates) will ratify #MbZ as official President of the #UAE. Basically guaranteed 2/
The more interesting thing is who will be appointed #UAE Crown Prince. Options include #MbZ’s brother & #security czar #TahnoonBinZayed, another brother, or #MbZ’s son #KhalidBinZayed.
While #SaudiArabia moved to primogeniturial succession, the #UAE might do the opposite. 3/

#Syria's nominal ruler #Iran/#Russia dependent), Bashar al-Asad, was greeted in the #UAE on 18 March 2022, in Dubai by its emir, Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. This is Asad's first visit to an Arab state since the uprising began, exactly eleven years ago. reuters.com/world/middle-e…
The @DXBMediaOffice released pictures of the visit by #Syria's tyrant, Bashsr al-Asad, to the #UAE, including this one [from left to right]: Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad; Asad; Dubai's ruler, Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum; and Dubai's Crown Prince, Hamdan ("Fazza").

"Aí, maluco, #Biden achou mesmo que a gente aumentaria a produção de #petróleo em 2022, só para os #EUA pagarem menos de U$5 no galão de #gasolina... Viajou na maionese!".
#MBS e #MBZ não estão nem aí para o desespero dos EUA e #Europa. Não faz sentido algum para os dois déspotas aumentar a produção e reduzir o preço do barril para algo próximo a U$130.
Eles querem o barril a U$300. Bom para #ArábiaSaudita e #EmiradosÁrabesUnidos.

Un thread sur la résistance palestinienne à #Gaza.
Pourquoi #Israel concentre toute sa propagande sur le #hamas?
Pourquoi les officines israéliennes en occident attaquent les frères musulmans?
Quel rôle/realtions avec les dictatures arabes alliées d'Israël?
C'est parti⬇️

1. Pendant que #Israel massacre les palestiniens à #Gaza, toute la communication et la propagande israélienne aussi bien en interne mais surout en occident, consiste et peut se résumer à ceci:
"#hamas, terroriste, nous attaque.
Israël, victime, ne fait que se défendre"
⬇️
"#hamas, terroriste, nous attaque.
Israël, victime, ne fait que se défendre"
⬇️
2. La porogande israélienne veut ainsi faire oublier la "root cause": colonisation, massacres, déportations, apartheid...qui sont le quotidien des palestiniens depuis la création d'Israël en 1948...bien avant la création du hamas en 1987.
#ErikPrince and the Failed Plot to Arm Warlord in Libya
If the #UN approves the report’s findings, Prince would face a travel ban and have his bank accounts frozen. At least four countries have opened CRIMINAL PROBES into the alleged Libya plot

The purpose of the mercenary mission was to provide Hifter with a “maritime interdiction capability … but also the capability to identify and strike land targets, and terminate and/or kidnap high-value targets,” the U.N. report concluded.

"#MBZ has longstanding ties to Prince and is probably #Haftar's most important foreign backer...Last year, the #UAE poured tons of weapons into Libya in blatant disregard for the arms embargo..." - Abu Dhabi has still not responded to the #UN Report
#MbZ once famously referred to Erik Prince as "his guy" considering how much the #UAE owed to Prince's mercenary know-how & networks

I’ve connected with dozens of folks from the UAE after #MBZ’s announcement with #Israel. The majority are pained and do not support the step #MBZ has taken. They are suffocated & fear speaking out against it because #MBZ is a dictator & can act with brutality. Thread
State owned media in the #UAE is doing its best propaganda in decades trying to convince people #MBZ made this decision to benefit #Palestine - but it’s becoming clear to most #Emiratis that’s just not the case. They are hearing other views & seeing this action for what it is...
Historique! Après des années de rapprochement et une alliance qui n'osait pas dire son nom (pro US, anti Iran), #Israel et les #Emirats Arabes Unis annoncent la normalisation complète de leurs relations sous l'égide des #USA
C'est l'aube d'"une nouvelle ère de #paix" entre #Israel et le monde arabe, annonce #Netanyahu, qui se met dans les pas de Menahem Begin (accord de paix avec l'Egypte en 1979) et Yitzhak Rabin (avec la Jordanie en 1994)

A welcome development to see #UAE crown prince #MBZ used for torture in #France by #Yemen victims. No more chateau and fine wine excursions to Paris for the emir 😢 france24.com/en/20200717-ab…
@hrw and others extensively documented the role of UAE forces - under command and responsibility of MBZ - along w their proxies in torturing Yemenis:

Trump’s lack of prep’n for victory & disorganized transition created a vacuum that, as RU/ME sought out access & influence, was quickly filled by a number of people eager to portray themselves as access brokers or to generate personal biz opportunities.

But prior to the 2016elex in addition to RU’s efforts to influence the American electorate in favor of Trump, ME foreign actors also assisted w/ the SocMed influence ops to help Trump & harm Cruz/HRC.
Nader among others were key to these influence ops to swing the elex to Trump
