Xi Jinping waves at a crowd during a rally in Tibetan capital Lhasa
China's Xi touts unity and development in surprise Tibet visit
LHASA — President Xi Jinping urged unity on a surprise visit to Tibet, appearing before 20,000 people to mark 60 years since China created the autonomous region after annexing it.In what is only his second presidential visit to the tightly-controlled region, Xi praised the local government for "engaging in a thorough struggle against separatism" - a reference to decades-old Tibetan resistance to Beijing.The visit to Lhasa, which sits at an altitude that could pose health problems for the 72-year-old, suggests a desire to stamp his authority over the region.His published comments did not mention the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader who has been living in exile in India since he fled in 1959."To govern, stabilise and develop Tibet, the first thing is to maintain...

France hits back after Netanyahu accuses Macron of fueling antisemitism
PARIS — France has hit back after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused President Emmanuel Macron of fuelling antisemitism with his decision to recognize a Palestinian state.Tensions between the two nations have escalated since Macron announced last month that France intends to formally recognise Palestinian statehood in September at the United Nations General Assembly.Netanyahu wrote a letter to Macron earlier this week claiming that antisemitism has "surged" in France since that announcement."Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire," Netanyahu wrote."It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas’s refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the...
