ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Advance Auto Parts, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – AAP

NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE: AAP) between November 16, 2022 and May 30, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important December 8, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Advance Auto securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Advance Auto class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=19738 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 8, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements that: (1) misrepresented the efficacy of Advance Auto’s strategic pricing initiative and the impact of price reductions; (2) omitted and/or concealed the negative impacts of the pricing initiative; (3) provided investors with an overly optimistic perception of Advance Auto’s operations; and (4) created the false impression that inflation and macroeconomic factors had an insubstantial impact on Advance Auto’s margins. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Advance Auto class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=19738 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Palestinian killed by Israeli forces near NablusForeign ministry condemns Dutch extremist’s statements deny Palestinian rights

A Palestinian youth was killed and another was injured by live bullets, tonight, during confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in Balata camp, east of Nablus.

Director of the Ambulance and Emergency Center at the Red Crescent Society in Nablus, Ahmed Jibril, reported that two youths were injured by live bullets in the head and back, during confrontations with the occupation forces in Balata camp. They were transferred to Rafidia Hospital, where doctors later pronounced Izz al-Din Mustafa Hafi, 18, dead as a result of his serious injury.

He added that the occupation forces detained all Red Crescent crews at the Balata intersection – Al-Quds Street, while trying to reach casualties around the camp and took away keys and phones.

Local sources indicated that the occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus from the eastern region, raided Balata camp, where confrontations broke out. They also raided the Jaffa Cultural Center and intensively deplyed their soldiers in the area.

ws and Information Agency – WAFA

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates denounced the right-wing Dutch extremist Geert Wilders for his remarks that contradicted the rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to an independent state with sovereignty over their own territory, and for reflecting racist and ridiculous ideas that suggested a resolution to the Palestinian conflict could come at the expense of Jordan.

The ministry’s spokesperson, Sufian Qudah, said the racist parliamentarian’s provocative and abhorrent remarks are useless and have no impact other than validating his racism and extremism, which are products of a deplorable culture of hatred that everyone must oppose and denounce.

Qudah emphasized that the Dutch government needs to come out strongly against these remarks, which run counter to the friendly and respectful relationships that the two nations have built over the course of seven decades.

He drew attention to the representative’s long-standing and consistent racist statements, emphasizing that t
he ministry has previously denounced them and dealt with them immediately through Dutch government-approved methods.

TRC signs license to provide satellite Internet services


Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) signed a general class telecommunications license on Wednesday, with Starlink Jordan.

According to a TRC statement on Thursday, the agreement was based on the provisions of the Telecommunications Law and the instructions that enable Starlink to activate its satellite services in the Kingdom.

Starlink was licensed as an operating company in the local telecommunications market after it completed official papers with TRC, the statement said.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, TRC Chairman, Bassam Sarhan, said Starlink is expected to activate its satellites and provide satellite services commercially in Jordan during the next year.

Introducing these services in the Jordanian market is an “important “achievement in advancing the Kingdom’s communications sector at the national level, especially since Jordan is classified as one of the first countries to roll out these services to its local markets in the region, he pointed out.

Starlink, owned by SpaceX, will prov
ide satellite Internet services via satellites in low orbits as part of its global project called “Starlink” for Communications.

Sarhan noted the license came as a continuation of the experience of launching services successfully conducted late last year by Starlink in southern Jordan.

Sarhan added that Starlink was granted the license after obtaining the TRC’s necessary technical and regulatory approvals, which were carried out via satellites in low orbits, recording high numbers of data download speeds ranging from between 100 MB and 200 MB.

Additionally, he said satellite services will have a “positive” impact on various business sectors, due to their technical capabilities that allow coverage of all the Kingdom’s regions and ensure diversity of communications services provided to beneficiaries at a high level.

These services, he noted, also aim to cover remote areas, regions with small population densities, mining and drilling locations, as well as tourist, industrial and agricultural sites.

WHO, KSrelief sign Letter of Intent to scale up health response assistance in Gaza Strip


The World Health Organization (WHO) and the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) on Thursday signed a letter of intent to solidify their commitment to collaborative humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip.

The letter of intent, for US$ 10 million, was signed by Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, and Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Supervisor General of KSrelief.

The document reflects the continued shared vision and dedication of both organizations to address urgent health needs of people in the Regionl, according to statement by WHO.

The support funded by KSrelief will be aligned with WHO’s operational plan for the occupied Palestinian territory, with a focus on ensuring the availability of life-saving medical supplies and equipment in the Gaza Strip, as well as fuel availability.

As deaths and injuries in the Gaza Strip continue to rise, this support will allow WHO to procure additional life-saving trauma supplies for delivery to health facilities in the Gaz
a Strip as soon as access is possible.

This response, however, is dependent on the unimpeded delivery of safe water, food, fuel and other humanitarian aid to health facilities, so that they can function and provide the life-saving health services that are desperately needed.

KSrelief is a long-standing partner of WHO, working to preserve health systems and facilitating the provision of life-saving services and supplies in emergency-affected countries and territories across the Region and beyond. Since 2016, WHO and KSrelief have collaborated on multiple health projects in emergency settings at a total cost of more than US$ 300 million.
