Belarus hijacked a Ryanair plane flying from one EU country (Greece) to another (Lithuania) with more than 100 people on board. The plane was in Belarusian airspace. Citing a “bomb threat”, the authorities sent a fighter jet to make it land in Minsk, the Belarusian capital. They arrested two passengers: Roman Protasevich, an exiled journalist, and his girlfriend. Mr Protasevich had rallied opposition to Alexander Lukashenko, the despot who stole Belarus’s presidential election last year. No bomb was found. Russia applauded Mr Lukashenko’s boldness; the EU mulled sanctions on his isolated regime.

白俄罗斯劫持了一架从欧盟国家希腊飞往另一个欧盟国家——立陶宛的瑞安航空公司飞机,机上有100多人。这架飞机当时位于白俄罗斯领空。当局以“炸弹威胁”为由,派一架战斗机升空,迫使其降落在白俄罗斯首都明斯克。他们逮捕了两名乘客:流亡记者普罗塔塞维奇(Roman Protasevich)和他的女友。普罗塔塞维奇曾集会反对亚历山大·卢卡申科,这位去年窃取白俄罗斯总统选举结果的独裁者。航班上没有发现炸弹。俄罗斯称赞卢卡申科的果敢行动;欧盟则考虑对其孤立的政权实施制裁。

Switzerland said it was walking away from years of negotiations on a new treaty with the EU aimed at harmonising dozens of messy individual deals on trade, investment and the movement of people.

瑞士表示,将放弃与欧盟就一项新协议进行的多年谈判,该协议旨在协调有关贸易、投资和人员流动的数十项棘手的单个协议。

Israel and Hamas, the militant Islamist group that controls Gaza, stuck to a recently agreed ceasefire. To bolster the truce Antony Blinken, America’s secretary of state, held separate meetings with Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority. He also went to Egypt and Jordan.

Republicans in the American Congress introduced legislation to beef up the government’s monitoring of anti-Semitic attacks.
