AMMAN: Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi confirmed that their countries are exerting vigorous actions to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, protect civilians, and ensure humanitarian aid delivery to the Gaza Strip.
During a telephone call today, they reiterated their utter rejection of any attempts to displace Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. They further emphasized the need to enable the people of the Strip to return to their homes.
The two leaders warned of the catastrophic humanitarian situation unfolding in the Gaza Strip and continues to deteriorate, calling for immediate international action to deal with the humanitarian crisis.
They also reaffirmed their support for the Palestinian people in their struggle to realize their full legitimate rights and the establishment of their independent sovereign state within the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The leaders stressed that no peace or stability would be achieved in the region without a just
solution to the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution.

Washington: A recent NASA study reveals that the moon has undergone a significant contraction, shrinking more than 150 feet in circumference over the past few hundred million years as its core cools.
Published on January 25, the study explains that this continuous shrinkage has led to the development of faults, resulting in moonquakes.
The phenomenon is comparable to the Earth’s fault lines, making human exploration challenging.
The research, conducted by NASA, the Smithsonian, Arizona State University, and The University of Maryland, detected evidence of surface changes around the Lunar South Pole, a targeted landing site for NASA’s Artemis III mission.
The study emphasizes the need to consider moonquakes and the formation of new faults when planning permanent outposts on the moon.
Moonquakes, lasting for hours, pose challenges for future lunar exploration
