Kuwait City: Iraq's Federal Court has postponed the hearing of appeals by the Iraqi president and prime minister concerning an earlier verdict on the Khor Abdullah agreement with Kuwait. The court has rescheduled the hearing for July 30. The agreement, which has been a point of contention between Iraq and Kuwait, concerns maritime boundaries and cooperation. According to Kuwait News Agency, the delay in the hearing comes amid ongoing discussions and legal complexities surrounding the agreement. It is seen as a significant issue affecting Iraq-Kuwait relations, with both nations having vested interests in the outcome of the court's decision. In related regional events, tensions continue to rise in the West Bank. Israeli occupation forces reportedly shot a 66-year-old Palestinian woman in the head during a military incursion into the Shu'fat refugee camp near Jerusalem. Additionally, an attack by Jewish settlers in the village of Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah, resulted in the deaths of three Palestinian indivi duals and injuries to seven others. Internationally, NATO leaders have endorsed a new defense spending target, aiming for five percent of their respective GDP by 2035. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that U.S. and Iranian negotiators are scheduled to hold talks next week, indicating potential developments in diplomatic relations between the two nations.
