Recently freed Palestinian says ‘there is no humanity in’ Israel

ISTANBUL: Jamal al-Isawa, a Palestinian detained for 60 days in the Gaza Strip where the Israeli army has continued its attacks for nearly seven months, said he was subjected to various forms of torture during his detention. 'Don't ask me about the torture they inflicted on us there. Let no one say that there is any humanity in the state of Israel, there is no humanity in them,' Jamal al-Isawa told Anadolu. Isawa said soldiers detained him at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. 'They put me in a truck with some young people and took me to a remote area. Then they put us in a detention center,' he said. 'They tortured us constantly. I don't have the strength to speak. The place was full of young people, they tore many of them away from their families.' On the treatment by soldiers, Isawa said he was dragged on the ground and beaten. Israel released 61 of the many Palestinians it detained during ground attacks it launched on Gaza on Oct. 27 last year. 'These 60 days are gone from my children's lives' 'Whe n Ramadan came, we thought 'there might be a little humanity in the state of Israel,' but there is no humanity in them,' he stressed. Pointing to health problems he suffered as a result of torture, he noted: 'I cannot stand on one of my legs, and I had an open heart surgery." "They ruined us, and I don't know what to do. I was being held there for 60 days, the most difficult days of my life. We were counting the hours and minutes of each day.' Stating that soldiers kept him in an unknown place, Isawa added: 'These 60 days were taken from the lives of my children, sacrificed from the lives of my daughters. I did not see my father for 60 days and I did not know who survived in my family.' He said: 'As soon as I leave the hospital, I will kiss the land I stepped on, they deprived me of it. Alhamdulillah (praise God), I saw my children and my family well, with whom I was reunited.' The Israeli army has detained thousands of Palestinians, including women, children, and health workers, since it began its groun d invasion. Although Israel has released some it detained, the fate of others is unknown. Israel has launched a brutal offensive on Gaza since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, which killed less than 1,200 people. More than 34,600 Palestinians have since been killed and over 77,900 injured amid a tight siege imposed by Israel, which left the entire population, especially residents in northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation. Nearly seven months into the Israeli onslaught, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins, pushing 85% of the enclave's population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine, according to the UN. Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered Tel Aviv to ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. * Writing by Serdar Dincel from Istanbul Source: Anadolu Agency

Trkiye jumps to 4th in Europe for international investment, tops investor picks: Investment office

ANKARA: Trkiye last year rose to fourth place in Europe in attracting the most international investment projects, according to the Turkish Presidency Investment Office. "Trkiye has become a prominent destination for investors with its strategic location and strong investment environment. The $10.6 billion in international direct investment we attracted in 2023 is the most concrete sign of this success," said Burak Daglioglu, the office's head. A report by audit and consulting firm EY found a significant fall from the previous year in foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in Europe for the first time since the pandemic, blamed on factors such as low economic growth, high inflation, rising energy prices, and geopolitical risks, he said. He said 5,694 investment projects were announced in Europe, down 4% from the previous year. The number of projects in Europe was 11% below its level in 2019 and 14% below the 2017 peak, according to Daglioglu. "International direct investment projects in the service sect ors dropped significantly, while the fall in the manufacturing sector was limited to 1%," he said. Daglioglu added that France led in attracting the most projects last year but saw a 5% decline from 2022. The UK, in second place, saw a 6% annual rise in projects, while Germany, at third, suffered a steep 12% drop in project numbers. Trkiye jumped from 5th place to 3rd Daglioglu said Trkiye has maintained its steady rise in attracting the most international direct investment in Europe in the post-pandemic period. "Trkiye ranked seventh in the European league in 2020 and fifth in 2022. The country rose to fourth among the top 10 countries, attracting 375 international direct investment projects in 2023. With a 17% rise from the previous year, Trkiye also ranked first among the top 10 countries in terms of growth in 2023. "While there was an overall drop in the number of manufacturing projects across the continent, the restructuring of supply chains and factors such as supply from nearby countries enabled a few continental countries, including Trkiye, to attract more manufacturing projects," he noted. 'High-level investment experience for global investors' Daglioglu underlined that Trkiye is an attractive investment destination at the global level, as it works to offer a high-level investment experience to international investors who come to the country. "Despite the slowing investment trend across Europe, Trkiye has become an attractive center for international investors by strengthening its infrastructure and diversifying its economy. We find it extremely positive that we have overtaken Spain and settled in fourth place after France, Britain, and Germany," he said. Daglioglu said Trkiye has consistently maintained its leading position in investments, particularly in the manufacturing sector, across Central and Eastern Europe, the Mideast, and North Africa over the past decade. "We're the country that attracts the most manufacturing investments, attracting 21.7% of manufacturing investments in these region s. Since 2013, we've also been the top country in attracting the most expansion investments, drawing 19.1% of expansion investments," he said. Source: Anadolu Agency

NEW YORK, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: SSRM) between February 23, 2022 and February 27, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 17, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased SSR Mining securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the SSR Mining class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=23047 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 17, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants materially overstated SSR Mining’s commitment to safety and the efficacy of its safety measures; (2) SSR Mining engaged in unsafe mining practices which were reasonably likely to result in a mining disaster; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

WadzPay Plans to Expand Portfolio into Stablecoin Business

Welcomes Jason Sarria-Solis to Lead the Venture. Reporting to Jason will be the product head for the business line Mr. Dinesh Kr

WadzPay Plans to Expand Portfolio into Stablecoin Business
WadzPay, a leading fintech company specialising in blockchain based technology for virtual asset payment solutions, is proud to announce its plan to enter the Stablecoin business, marking a significant expansion of its offerings. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and addressing evolving market demands, the company has strategically positioned itself to capitalise on the growing opportunities within the virtual asset financial services space.

SINGAPORE, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WadzPay, a leading fintech company specialising in blockchain based technology for virtual asset payment solutions, is proud to announce its plan to enter the Stablecoin business, marking a significant expansion of its offerings. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and addressing evolving market demands, the company has strategically positioned itself to capitalise on the growing opportunities within the virtual asset financial services space.

This also marks a shift in Wadzpay’s strategy to elevate itself from being a blockchain based virtual asset payments company to a blockchain financial services solutions provider. The decision to venture into the Stablecoin market comes as a response to the increasing demand for secure, transparent, and efficient digital payment solutions worldwide.

According to recent market research by Bernstein, the global market for stablecoins is projected to grow from $125 billion to almost $3 trillion in next 5 years. This growth is fueled by factors such as the rise of decentralised finance (DeFi) applications, cross-border remittances, and the need for stable digital assets to mitigate volatility risks in cryptocurrency markets.

By leveraging blockchain technology, WadzPay aims to provide users with a reliable alternative to traditional fiat currencies, offering stability, convenience, and speed at lower cost in transactions for merchants, businesses and individuals worldwide. With a focus on compliance and regulations, WadzPay is poised to address the growing demand for stablecoins while ensuring security and regulatory compliance in its operations. Apart from the traditional use cases, WadzPay will add some new and innovative uses of stablecoins to the mix.

WadzPay will introduce two main products: Stable Coin as a Service and its own regulated USD$ Stablecoin, designed for local and international payments, cross border remittances, and settlements of on-chain transactions related to RWA.

The new solutions will be organised as a new business and new brand. To ensure regulatory compliance, WadzPay will set up a new entity and will pursue approvals in UAE, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
