00:00Brussels is requesting clarity from the Palestinian Authority to find out whether the Martis Fund program,
00:08which was reportedly terminated, is still operational.
00:11This program provided payments to families of Palestinians killed or imprisoned by Israel.
00:17It had been criticized by the EU, the US and Israel as a mechanism for supporting attacks on Israel.
00:24Israel claims that the system is still operational and that it might involve EU funds in payments made through bypass channels.
00:32The European Commission told Euronews it has asked for clarification from the Palestinian Authority.
00:38However, the Commission denied that EU funds were involved in recent payments.
00:43The EU is the largest provider of external assistance to the Palestinians, with a bilateral allocation of some 1.36 billion euros between 2021 and 2024.
00:55The US plan for Gaza has been approved by the UN Security Council.
01:04The vote endorses US President Donald Trump's peace plan, also known as the 20-point ceasefire plan.
01:10The plan proposes the creation of a board led by Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza.
01:17It also calls for the establishment of an international stabilization force.
01:22While the proposal outlines a potential path towards an independent Palestinian state,
01:28the language remains weak, offering neither a timeline nor any guarantees.
01:3313 out of 15 members voted in favor of the resolution.
01:38Russia, which submitted a separate proposal on Gaza last week, along with China, abstained the vote but did not use its veto power.
01:46Trump applauded the vote, calling it one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations.
01:52Hamas, on the other hand, opposed the resolution.
01:55The group believes it fails to meet Palestinian people's political and humanitarian demands and that it does not safeguard their rights.
02:05Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday that Russian intelligence services orchestrated an explosion on a railway line used to transport aid to Ukraine.
02:15Tusk said the sabotage attack was carried out using two Ukrainian nationals who worked as agents for the Russian service.
02:22The Polish Premier made the announcement as he addressed fellow lawmakers in a parliament session, but did not disclose the names of the alleged perpetrators.
02:31A spokesperson for the Polish secret services minister said on Tuesday that everything indicates that the act was initiated by the Kremlin.
02:40The attack was carried out on Monday, blowing up a segment of a rail line connecting the capital Warsaw to the Ukrainian border.
02:48Another segment further south was also damaged. Tusk called the incidents an unprecedented act of sabotage.
02:55In a statement, prosecutors said they are investigating the explosions as terror incidents as they endangered public health and safety and posed risk to human life and properties on a large scale.
03:08Officials noted that probes will continue until the perpetrators are captured and brought to justice.
03:14Warsaw has also mobilized army patrol units to conduct thorough checks on other key infrastructure in the east of the country.
03:21Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian city of Dnipro overnight into Tuesday, damaging the city's newsroom of public broadcasters Suspilna and Ukrainian radio Dnipro.
03:38Suspilna said windows and doors were blown out, the roof and ceilings were damaged and a fire broke out.
03:44No staff were inside at the time of the attack.
03:47The nationwide public broadcaster operates television, radio and online news across regional outlets throughout Ukraine.
03:55Throughout the city, several fires broke out as a result of the attack, damaging private businesses, garages, apartment buildings and shops.
04:04The regional governor said two people were injured and a total of 30 drones were shot down.
04:09Russian forces also launched missiles at the city of Beristin in the Kharkiv region, killing a 17-year-old girl and injuring nine others, according to regional authorities.
04:21Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched a total of four ballistic missiles and 114 drones at Ukraine overnight, of which 101 drones were intercepted.
04:32Ursula von der Leyen has urged EU countries to come up with a plan by December to bridge Ukraine's financing gap.
04:42Based on IMF projections that the war could end by the end of 2026, Ukrainian budgetary and military needs for the next two years amount to 135 billion euros.
04:54In a letter on Monday, the President of the European Commission outlined three different options for providing additional financial support to Ukraine.
05:0390 billion euros in EU countries' bilateral contributions.
05:07The assistance would be disbursed as a non-repayable grant and be accounted against a member state's national budget.
05:14Joint debt.
05:15The interest would have to be covered by either national guarantees or the bloc's common budget.
05:20And 140 billion euros in a reparations loan based on frozen Russian assets.
05:26Kiev would be asked to repay the loan only after Moscow agrees to compensate for the damages.
05:31Fearing potential legal ramifications, Belgium has repeatedly opposed issuing reparations loans to Kiev based on Russian assets held at Juroklier, a financial services company headquartered in Brussels.
05:44Von der Leyen's meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever last Friday to advance the talks has so far resulted in limited progress.
