Israel has officially announced that it will begin monitoring and prosecuting Facebook accounts that mock, laugh, and gloat over the deaths of Israeli soldiers. It is calling on the governments of Arab countries to arrest their owners in their countries of residence and deport them to Israel for trial. This is in accordance with the International Crimes Law, which allows the arrest of any convict from an Arab country and his trial inside Israel in order to maintain the morale of the families of officers and recruits.

"U.S. Slaps Philippines With 19% Tariff – Will Taiwan's 'China+1' Strategy Now Backfire?"

(EXCLUSIVE: Taiwanese factories cut workdays, pivot to local market as new Trump tariffs erase competitive edge)

MANILA – The Trump administration's surprise 19% tariff on Philippine goods has triggered alarm among 10,000-20,000 Taiwanese business operators in the country, with export-focused firms already reducing workweeks and scrambling to target domestic consumers instead.

🔥 5 Explosive Fallouts
1️⃣ "Worse Than Expected": Rate jumps from April’s 17% despite Philippines’ U.S. alliance status
2️⃣ Factory Exodus Risk: Taiwanese firms reconsidering relocation plans as PH loses tariff advantage over Vietnam/Thailand
3️⃣ Labor Cuts Begin: Subic Bay export factories slash workdays to survive shrinking U.S. orders
4️⃣ New Threat: Fears of Chinese manufacturers dumping goods in PH market if blocked from U.S.
5️⃣ Bureaucracy Bottleneck: Investors demand faster permits, clearer tax incentives to stay competitive

💼 Who’s Hit Hardest?
✔ Subic Bay Zone: 80% of 100 Taiwanese firms export to U.S. – now pivoting to PH’s 116M-consumer market
✔ Manila-Based Businesses: Mostly insulated (90% serve domestic market)

📉 Investor Sentiment Sours

At 17%, the Philippines was attractive. At 19%? Just another Southeast Asian cost," admits Lin Teng-feng of Taiwan Association Philippines. Chamber leaders warn the window for manufacturing relocation may be closing unless:
→ Customs cracks down on Chinese dumping
→ Government streamlines factory setup
→ Tax incentives become more transparent
