2022 Beijing Winter Olympics a minefield for Australia
May 19 - The Australian government, Olympic Committee and business sponsors face a tense 10 months grappling with the public and political backlash to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as calls grow for a diplomatic and commercial boycott of the Games.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the United States’ most powerful politicians, on Wednesday became the highest-profile politician to call for a diplomatic and commercial boycott, following a rising outcry from human rights groups and a global push by members of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China.
“We cannot proceed as if nothing is wrong about the Olympics going to China,” Pelosi told a House of Representatives hearing on Wednesday following years of reports of human rights abuse in Xinjiang and the erosion of democracy in Hong Kong... more

Fresh rocket fire over several military bases in Israel
May 19 - ...Fifth airstrike
Yesterday, the Israeli Defense Forces launched a fifth airstrike on Hamas-related targets in Gaza. As we reported, about 60 Israeli planes dropped just over 100 bombs on approximately 65 targets in Gaza. Israel says the targets are related to Hamas’ underground tunnels in Gaza, known as the “Hamas subway.”
Also, on the border with Lebanon, Tel Aviv allowed artillery shelling on areas in Lebanon believed to belong to Hamas. The reason was an early attack by pro-Palestinian troops from Lebanon on Israel.
USA, UN, and EgyptAttempts at a ceasefire between Palestinians and Israelis at the international level continue. The international community’s attitude and the desire for a ceasefire cannot be unanimous and is a reflection of the conflict in the Middle East.
France wants a ceasefire, offering Jordan’s and Egypt’s assistance as mediators in the process. Israeli political scientists say that if the “French resolution” is voted on, it will force the United States to block such a resolution and impose a veto.
Joe Biden’s silence on the situation in the Middle East was broken on Tuesday when he proposed a “ceasefire” in a conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s expected Biden to make the same statement again today, as there is a lot of pressure from his Democratic Party.
Analysts and sources in Israel say the involvement of Egypt and Jordan as mediators in the ceasefire process could be a significant success. According to some, progress expects this Thursday, and the fire will cease.

US Navy warship transits Taiwan Strait for 5th time under Biden
May 19 - A US Navy destroyer transited through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday. This is the fifth time a US Navy ship has passed through the Taiwan Strait since Joe Biden became president in January.
The US Navy’s press release said, “The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54) conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit May 18 (local time) in accordance with international law. The ship's transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows.”
The last warship the US sent through the Taiwan Strait was the USS John McCain. The John McCain made its transit on April 7, the same day China sent 15 military planes into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone. China has been sending an unprecedented number of warplanes near Taiwan since August last year.
In an interview with Radio Taiwan International, Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Hsiao Bi-khim, said that these transits show the US’ support of both Taiwan and of maintaining peace and stability in the region. Hsiao said, “The United States’ rock-solid support of Taiwan is demonstrated through US leadership in continuing freedom of navigation operations in the region as a strong deterrent against any consideration of unilateral military action that would upset the status quo.”
China, on the other hand, has spoken out in opposition to the ship’s movements. A spokesman for China's Eastern Theatre Command on Wednesday condemned the move. He said, “The US actions send the wrong signals to Taiwan independence forces, deliberately disrupting the regional situation and endangering peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”
Meanwhile, the US Pacific Fleet also posted a message on Facebook on Wednesday saying that the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force guided-missile destroyer JS Maya sailed together during a recent training exercise in the Philippine Sea.
