He believes it is organized crime.

– I am completely convinced that this is a league that has traveled the country and kingdom around to steal from grocery stores.

Protesters have stormed the government building in the Russian-backed breakaway region of Abkhazia in Georgia today, Reuters reports.

The background to this is an unpopular investment agreement with Moscow that would mean Russia gaining more control in the region. The protesters worry about the consequences the agreement will have on the real estate market.

Opposition politicians also demanded that the self-proclaimed president resign.

According to the news agency, the protesters drove in a truck and smashed the metal gates surrounding the capital’s parliament. People also climbed in through the windows.

Eight people had to be taken to hospital.

Abkhazia has declared independence, but only a few states support this – including Russia. Georgia and the rest of the world see Abkhazia as Georgian territory.

Israel is now beginning to draft ultra-Orthodox men, an extremely controversial measure in the country. New Defense Minister Israel Katz is pursuing the representative’s plan, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated skepticism.

Starting Sunday, military service call-up orders are being sent to 7,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews, Israeli media reports.

They have until now been exempted from the military service that all other Israelis – male and female – must do for several years. But as Israel’s defense forces became increasingly strained during the last war, the demands that everyone must stand up have grown.

However, Netanyahu is said to have been against calling in the ultra-Orthodox, as it risks fracturing his fragile governing coalition.

However, the issue was pushed hard by Yoav Gallant, the defense minister who was fired by Netanyahu the other week.

How the rest of the government reacts to the new defense minister continuing with the plan remains to be seen. But Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ruled the other day that since there is now a new law, the summons must be sent out.
