Netanyahu casts Turkey as Israel’s new villain amid tough re-election fight

After more than two years of taking on Israel’s enemies across the Middle East, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing a tough re-election fight, is zeroing in on another perceived villain – Turkey.

On Tuesday, warplanes bombed a base in northern Syria a short drive from the Turkish border.

Netanyahu said Turkey was looking to establish a military presence there and that, after it ignored Israel’s warnings: “We made sure they understood it more clearly.”

Heading into the October 27 election, Netanyahu

With the next two generations of Intel's processors - Nova Lake and Razor Lake - maintaining or even enhancing their fabrication footprint at TSMC, at least as per recent leaks, AMD's ability to secure marginal capacity within TSMC's increasingly constrained fabs now stands at a disadvantage.

We already know that Intel is preparing to start mass producing its Nova Lake chips around January 2027. While these new family of chips were initially believed to rely entirely on Intel's own 18A process, recent

“True friends stab you in the front?”

This is a quote most likely to be misattributed to Oscar Wilde. What he wrote instead in The Devoted Friend was: “But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a

Why Chinese film-goers are flocking to a movie they hate

This past week, another unlikely film went viral in Chinese cinemas. On its August 5 debut, the animated film Niu Lai , or The Arrival of the Ox , only earned 3,420 yuan (US$507) at the box office. About 10 days later, it suddenly saw a spike in viewers and generated six figures of revenue.

Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison has launched international arbitration against Panama, seeking more than HK$11.7 billion (US$1.5 billion) in damages over the government’s takeover of two strategic ports at the entrances to the Panama Canal.

Announcing the move on Thursday, the Li Ka-shing family-backed conglomerate said Panama had breached an investment-protection treaty and international law through “sovereign acts” targeting its decades-old concession to operate the Balboa and Cristobal terminals, and “destroyed
