一 | LOS ANGELES -- At the most harrowing of times, some Israeli citizens living overseas aren't running from the war at home, but to it. From Athens to New York, they're rushing to airports and diving into online chat groups for help, desperate to make their way to the country after Hamas militants attacked. Some of these Israelis abroad are yearning to serve, whether that means fighting in a military reserve unit or volunteering to shuttle supplies to those in need, even as the war has already claimed at least 1,800 lives and shows no signs of abating. On Tuesday, Israel's military expanded its mobilization of reservists to 360,000, according to the country’s media, as it ramped up its retaliation for the surprise attacks. Yaakov Swisa, a 42-year-old father of five, said nobody called and asked him to return to Israel to fight, but he feels he has no choice. He served for 15 years, and he said he learned his army roommate was among at least 260 killed at a music festival. Swisa wants to rejoin his reserve unit, even if that means leaving his family and his construction-business job in Los Angeles. “I’ve been crying for two, three days. Enough. That’s it. I am ready to fight," he said. “What else would I do ... while my friends are being buried in Israel?”Some of the Israelis living, working or just traveling abroad who were trying to make it back said their reserve units were among those called up. Others said they hadn't yet been called or couldn't reach their commanders but expected to be asked soon. In other cases, Israelis who are too young to serve in the military, as well as non-Israelis with close ties to the country, have been trying to travel to assist family members or volunteer.Adam Jacobs, an 18-year-old community college student in New Jersey, said he was born and raised in the U.S. and for years traveled every summer to visit family in Israel. He said he learned his cousin was among those killed, and he wants to make his way to Israel to take on volunteer work, possibly shuttling supplies.“I couldn’t live with myself if I stayed here,” Jacobs said. “It’s never been this bad.”Eric Fingerhut, a former U.S. congressman who now leads The Jewish Federations of North America, said he’s not surprised by how many people want to help.“As soon as we can possibly enable that, we certainly will,” he said from Tel Aviv, where he'd arrived just before the weekend attacks. “There are many Israeli reservists who are abroad. And so getting them back home to join the fight, you know, has been a priority. And it should be a priority. So people are just scrambling.”The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel Saturday during a major Jewish holiday, killing people and abducting others. In response, Israeli warplanes have hammered the Gaza Strip, destroying buildings and sending Palestinian residents scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory. Travel has been challenging, with major airlines suspending flights in and out of Israel. The U.S. State Department issued travel advisories for the region. Some reservists in the United States, home to more than 140,000 people born in Israel, were trying to get on charter flights.Ofer Cohen, a New York businessman, said he learned there were more than 200 reservists traveling through South America on vacation at the time of the attacks. They've been called back to base but unable to get there, thanks to canceled flights. So Cohen is trying to cobble together hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire a plane to pick them up, as WhatsApp messages describing their troubles keep rolling in. “I just saw one after another,” he said, “and I thought about this idea of getting a charter plane and get them back to Israel.”In Greece, hundreds of people waited hours to board emergency flights at Athens International Airport, many without a ticket and most traveling from other European destinations after cutting holiday and work trips short. As officers patrolled the area to provide security, volunteers handed travelers apples, bananas and bottled water. Nir Ekhouse, a 19-year old from near Nazareth, had been in the Maldives with family. They reached Athens via Istanbul as they tried to make it home. Once there, Ekhouse said, he plans to volunteer for an organization that supports the military.“This is the first time in the history of Israel that something like that has happened. It’s very shocking,” he said, standing in line with his parents and younger siblings.Israel Lawrence, 27, was born in Israel and grew up in London. He said that although he hasn't been formally called up, he's making the trip to join his fellow soldiers, many already on the front lines, and help his family members, who are living in terror and chaos.“I want to be honest with you, I’m scared," said Lawrence, a trained rifleman who was on his way to Israel via Cyprus. "All the guys I’m with are terrified, but we are trained, and we’ll do the best we can.” __Hadjicostis reported from Nicosia, Cyprus. Taxin reported from Santa Ana, California.

UPI연합뉴스13㎞ 폭…이란 영해 거쳐 항행 공동 기뢰 제거 등 단계적 추진 미·이란, 중재국 통해 물밑 대화 러 국영 매체선 ‘휴전설’ 보도도이란과 오만이 호르무즈 해협의 안전한 항행 재개를 위한 ‘임시 공동 해상 통로 개설’ 등에 합의했다. 미국이 선포한 ‘경제 전쟁’을 둘러싸고 미·이란이 날 선 공방을 주고받는 가운데, 중재국을 고리로 한 물밑 교섭도 이어지는 것으로 보인다.이란 외교부는 25일(현지시간) 테헤란에서 아바스 아라그치 이란 외교장관과 바드르 알부사이디 오만 외교장관의 회담에서 이 같은 해협 관리 방안에 뜻을 모았다는 내용의 공동성명을 발표했다. 양국은 임시 공동 해상 통로를 개설하고 공동으로 해협 내 기뢰를 제거하는 방안을 단계적으로 실시하기로 했다.이번 합의는 해협 내 약 7해리(13㎞) 폭의 임시 항로를 구축하는 내용을 담고 있다. 이 항로 내에서는 오만 영해를 통해 진입·통과하지만 선박도 모두 이란 영해를 거치게 된다. 카젬 가리바바디 이란 외교차관은 타스님통신에 “해협 위쪽에 한 차선, 아래쪽에 또 다른 차선을 만드는 식이 아니다”라며 “왕복 고속도로 같은 형태”라고 말했다. 통항 선박 전체에 대한 이란의 관리·감시를 강화하겠다는 취지로 읽힌다.다만 이란은 호르무즈 해협의 개방이 미국의 대응에 달렸다고 강조했다. 가리바바디 차관은 “호르무즈 해협이 내일 당장 개방되는 것은 아니다”라며 “조건이 충족되고 미국의 후회와 반성을 우리가 이해할 때 가능하다”고 했다. 그는 이란 경제 제재의 완전한 해제, 레바논·예멘 등 중동 전역의 전쟁 종식을 조건으로 제시했다. 이날 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 호르무즈 해협 내 기뢰를 모두 제거·폭파했다고 밝힌 데 대해 그는 “그렇다면 왜 선박들이 해협을 통과하지 않는가”라며 “에너지 시장을 안정시키려는 선전”이라고 일축했다.미국의 추가 경제 제재 공개 후 신경전은 계속되고 있지만, 물밑에서는 중재국을 통한 양국 간 대화 정황도 보인다. 이란은 전날 테헤란을 방문한 아심 무니르 파키스탄 육군참모총장을 통해 미국 측에 전달할 대화 재개 조건을 제시했다. 이란 측 소식통은 타스님통신에 “(무니르 총장은) 협상 공간을 열기 위해 왔으며, 이란의 입장을 미국에 전달하려는 목적이었다”며 이란이 종전 양해각서(MOU)로의 복귀와 이행, 호르무즈 해협에서의 이란 통제권 인정 등을 조건으로 제시했다고 전했다. 모신 나크비 파키스탄 내무장관은 엑스에서 “상당한 진전이 이뤄졌다”고 평가했다. 이날 무함마드 빈 압둘라흐만 알사니 카타르 총리가 아라그치 이란 외교장관과 통화하면서 호르무즈 해협 임시 통항과 기뢰 제거 계획 등을 논의했다고 카타르 외교부가 밝혔다.미국은 추가 군사행동에 나설 계획이 없다는 신호를 보냈다. 마코 루비오 미 국무장관은 최근 몇몇 동맹국 외교라인을 통해 바뀐 대이란 정책을 설명하면서 당분간 군사행동을 자제할 계획이라 밝혔다고 미 온라인 매체 액시오스가 보도했다. 미국 정부는 레바논·이스라엘·요르단·오만 등 미·이란 전쟁 후 철수했던 중동 내 자국 대사관에 차례로 외교관을 복귀시킬 예정이라고 이날 뉴욕타임스(NYT)가 보도했다.이 가운데 미국과 이란의 휴전 합의설도 나왔다. 러시아 국영 통신사 리아노보스티는 이날 미국과 이란이 호르무즈 해협에서의 자유 통항을 포함해 휴전에 합의했다고 보도했다. 리아노보스티는 파키스탄과 이란 소식통의 말을 인용해 휴전 합의가 며칠 내로 발표될 것이라 전했지만, 구체적인 내용은 공개하지 않았다.。
