At the border between Poland and Belarus, the situation is only apparently easing. Many refugees are still stuck, it is difficult to take care of them - and it is getting colder. For weeks, the news situation on the Polish-Belarusian border was the same: Thousands of people were stuck in catastrophic humanitarian conditions between the two countries, lured by the false promise of the Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko to get safe conduct into the EU.

One of the reasons for the riots is that the houses of Palestinian families from the Arab district of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem are to be evacuated. If Israel withdrew completely from the West Bank, there would be chaos. A political reform of the Palestinian territories is necessary - without the terrorist group in Gaza.
