Hadash Strongly Denounce Israel’s Illegal Annexation Measures in the Occupied West Bank

Hadash condemned the illegal Israeli measures approved by the far-right Israeli government to entrench and expand settlements in the occupied West Bank. A spokesperson for Hadash said that the proposed significant changes to territory, implementation, and administrative powers in the occupied West Bank would undermine efforts to achieve peace and stability. He added that the Hadash’s position is clear, “any unilateral attempt to alter the geographic and demographic composition of Palestine is completely unacceptable and contrary to international law.” The statement called on the occupying authorities to immediately reverse these decisions, stressing that the two-state solution remains the only viable path to lasting peace.

According to Hadash MK Ayman Odeh, the government is racing against time to impose strategic realities on the ground before the upcoming parliamentary elections. Odeh indicated that the primary goal is to definitively rule out the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state and prevent it permanently through intensified settlement and silent displacement.

Chris Mason: Labour sticks with Starmer for now but this is not over

If Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar‘s desire to dislodge Sir Keir Starmer had had public accomplices, that could have been it.

There was a crucial pivot point on Monday afternoon when things could have gone in one of two ways.

If others had said Sir Keir should go, he might not have got to the end of the day without announcing his departure.

But instead, there was a rallying of support from the cabinet and from various wings of the Labour Party.

We Were Top Homeland Security Lawyers. You Can’t Wish Away the Fourth Amendment.

(February 2, 2026)

A warrant signed by a judge who is independent of the executive branch is a constitutional safeguard that separates legitimate law enforcement from arbitrary government power. This bedrock principle applies with equal — if not greater — force when the government is merely enforcing a civil immigration order.

Today the Department of Homeland Security seeks to justify forcible home entries on the basis of administrative warrants — warrants issued by the executive, not the judicial branch.

DHS defends ICE actions after San Antonio home arrest attempt sparks backlash

(February 8, 2026)

The agency did not specify what type of warrant officers were carrying. Judicial warrants are approved by judges, while administrative warrants are issued by immigration authorities; civil rights advocates note that administrative warrants generally do not permit officers to enter a home without consent or emergency conditions.

Rep. Thompson kicks off Homeland Security hearing by saying federal officers acted like „goons“

In his opening statement at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson heavily criticized the Department of Homeland Security for “running roughshod over Americans’ rights.”

Thompson, who focused on the killings of two US citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last month, accused DHS of “threatening our very democracy,” adding that the federal government’s refusal to investigate Good’s shooting was akin to an admission of guilt.

Warum der Staat potentiell jedes Verbrechen ungestraft begehen kann

(Februar 21, 2020)

Wir haben bereits dargelegt, warum es in Deutschland keine unabhängige Justiz und damit keine vollständige Gewaltenteilung gibt – weil das Grundgesetz den Staat nicht ausdrücklich dazu zwingt. Das Grundgesetz schreibt dem Staat lediglich die Unabhängigkeit der Richter vor, nicht die der Justiz insgesamt. Daraus interpretiert der Staat für sich das Recht, die Staatsanwaltschaften bzw Ankläger der Exekutive anzugliedern.

Auf Bundesebene heißt das konkret: der Generalbundesanwalt und seine Behörde (allgemein Bundesanwaltschaft) unterstehen dem Justizminister. Daraus schlussfolgert, dass nach eventuellen Staatsverbrechen und / oder Verfassungsbrüchen durch ihre eigenen Organe – Kanzleramt, Ministerien, Behörden, Militär, Geheimdienste, etc, – die Regierung gegen sich selbst ermitteln müsste.

Zieht also die Bundesanwaltschaft bzw der Generalbundesanwalt ein Verfahren an sich, zieht es die Regierung an sich.

Verbleibt noch die Möglichkeit, dass das Parlament Untersuchungsausschüsse einsetzt, dass durch diese die betreffenden Staatsverbrechen aufgeklärt und dann öffentlich bekannt werden, dem folgend durch Wahlen eine Änderung der parlamentarischen Mehrheiten erfolgt, dann eine Neuwahl des Kanzlers / der Kanzlerin durch das Parlament, dann durch den Kanzler / die Kanzlerin eine Ernennung eines neuen Justizministers erfolgt (Minister / Ministerinnen werden nicht gewählt), dann durch den Justizminister / die Justizministerin eine Ernennung eines neuen Generalbundesanwalts oder eine Anweisung an den amtierenden Generalbundesanwalt erfolgt Ermittlungen gegen die damaligen oder immer noch amtierenden staatlichen Funktionäre bzw Stellen aufzunehmen und dass dieser dann der Anweisung des vorgesetzten Justizministers folgt. Wobei dann ggf die Ermittlungen durch die Regierungsbehörden (Geheimdienste, Bundeskriminalamt) erfolgen müsste, gegen die ermittelt wird.

Grüne verlangen von Bundesregierung Ermittlungen zu Jeffrey Epstein

„Die Haltung der Bundesregierung zu den Epstein-Files zeigt eine Ignoranz für die mögliche größere Dimension des Skandals, die gefährlich und mindestens fahrlässig ist“, sagte die Parlamentarische Geschäftsführerin der Grünen im Bundestag, Irene Mihalic, den Zeitungen des RedaktionsNetzwerks Deutschland (RND).

Die Taten, die im Raum stehen, seien „widerwärtig“ und dürften nicht ungesühnt bleiben, sagte Mihalic. Sie forderte eine umfangreiche Aufklärung der Frage, inwiefern Politiker und Behördenmitarbeiter oder Personen, die den deutschen Staat repräsentieren, in den Akten auftauchten.

Democrats unify behind a hardball strategy on DHS funding

And even with a DHS shutdown on the horizon — or what’s supposed to be a shutdown, anyway — Democrats are holding the line.

“Our position has been clear: Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Monday when asked if he’d support a short-term funding patch for DHS. “Period. Full stop.”

Netanyahu heads to Washington for closed-door meeting with Trump: what’s he worried about?

Netanyahu is scheduled to take off from Tel Aviv at noon and land in Washington around 1 a.m. Wednesday, Israel time. The meeting with Trump is set for Wednesday morning at the White House and will be held without media presence, a departure from the leaders’ past encounters, which typically included joint press events and photo ops.

The decision for a private working meeting reportedly came from the White House, contrasting with previous summits, such as their previous meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Starmer latest: Streeting accused of orchestrating No 10 coup as embattled PM vows to fight on

Wes Streeting has been accused of orchestrating a coup against Sir Keir Starmer after claims emerged he talked to Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar two days before Mr Sarwar called on the prime minister to resign.

Sources said the pair are thought to have discussed the current political situation in the Labour party, with many blaming the health secretary for Mr Sarwar’s intervention, according to the Telegraph.

Wes Streeting privately said Israel committing war crimes, backed sanctions on ‚rogue state‘

Streeting added that he had „never been a shrinking violent (violet) on Israel. He said he had supported the pro-Israel lobbying group, Labour Friends of Israel, „for over 20 years“.

Mandelson responded that „I am worried that such a gesture now could blow a [two-state solution] out of the water“.

Streeting said that „Israel is doing it anyway“, and added: „This is rogue state behaviour. Let them pay the price as pariahs with sanctions applied to the state, not just a few ministers.“

Streeting shares his Mandelson texts with Sky News

The health secretary said he was sharing the messages with Sky News because of an attempt to „smear“ him over the weekend by suggestions he was „close friends“ with Lord Mandelson.

Mr Streeting has long been seen as on leadership manoeuvres and may otherwise be thought to be a potential beneficiary if Sir Keir were to resign as prime minister.

New roadblocks slow US reckoning over Epstein as Europe races ahead

“We didn’t want there to be a cover-up, and yet what I saw today was that there were lots of examples of people’s names being redacted when they were not victims,” Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin said.

Trump Officials Redacted Epstein Files to Protect ‘Prominent’ Individuals, Lawmakers Allege

“There are six men, some of them with their photographs, that have been redacted, and there’s no explanation why those people were redacted,” Massie, a Republican, said after spending roughly two hours reviewing the documents inside a secure reading room at a Department of Justice satellite office. He added that at least one of the six men was a U.S. citizen and at least one was foreign, but declined to reveal their names. “I probably should do that from the floor or in a committee hearing,” Massie said.
