Mélenchon also promised to intervene on the Palestinians’ behalf, using his own characterizations of events in the occupied territories.
“Nous agirons frontalement au secours des Palestiniens, à la fois contre le génocide à Gaza et contre l’annexion progressive de la Cisjordanie,” his post read. That translates as: “We will act directly to come to the aid of the Palestinians, against both the genocide in Gaza and the progressive annexation of the West Bank.”
Sign the pledge
I am ready to support an AOC campaign for President of the United States, and I encourage her to run. I commit myself to:
I commit myself to:
– Vote for AOC in a Presidential election
– Volunteer for an AOC campaign for President, including canvassing and phone banking
– Talk to the people in my life about why I want AOC to run for President, and ask them to sign this pledge
“The goal is to build the infrastructure of a grassroots movement in the case that she decides to run, but also to demonstrate to her that, ‘Look, there is a movement behind you ready to power you to victory should you choose to run for president,’” Ravi Sahai, a spokesperson for the group, told The New York Times.
Ready for AOC has already recruited more than 500 local political leaders and labor organizers in 35 states to begin gathering signatures.
Ocasio-Cortez has said she would consider whether to run for president or Senate, if she will launch a bid for another public office at all, after the midterm elections.

A 2 MW solar park in Wallonia, Belgium, will rely 50 kW of hydrogen-producing solar modules developed by Solhyd, a spin-off from KU Leuven. The installation will be the first demonstration of Solhyd’s technology at a commercially-relevant scale.
A consortium of Belgian companies has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to build an energy system that features hydrogen-producing solar modules in Wallonia, Belgium.
Billed as the world’s first solar hydrogen park, the installation will see 50 kW of hydrogen-producing solar modules developed by Solhyd integrated into a traditional 2 MW solar park that is connected to battery storage.
The site, which will begin operating next year, will be capable of producing both electricity and hydrogen from solar energy. It is set to operate for five years.

For over a decade, Professor Johan Martens and Drs. Tom Bosserez, Jan Rongé and Christos Trompoukis have been developing a ‘solar hydrogen panel’, i.e. a solar panel that can create hydrogen from the water vapour in the air. Using sunlight, moisture taken from the air – i.e. no liquid water – is split into hydrogen on the one hand, and oxygen molecules on the other.
The panel is able to directly convert no less than 15 per cent of sunlight into hydrogen gas, Which is a world record
Als Spin-Off des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) entwickeln wir hochinnovative skalierbare Technologien für die solare Produktion von grünem Wasserstoff – ohne Umwege und Umwandlung von Elektrizität.
Unsere zum Patent angemeldeten Erfindungen bilden die Grundlage für ein Solarpaneel-System, das simpel nachweisbar inhärent grünen Wasserstoff produziert (z. B. für RFNBO-Konformität auf EU-Level).

Photreon, a start-up project at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), aims to boost the hydrogen economy with mass-produced photoreactor panels that require no electrolyzers, consume no electricity, and do not need a grid connection. With the panels, hydrogen can be produced cost-effectively in a scalable manner from sunlight and water – suitable for both distributed applications and large-scale systems in sunny regions. During the Hannover Messe, April 20–24, 2026, photreon will be presenting at the KIT booth (Hall 11, Booth B06).

“I will not sit in a government led by Netanyahu,” Eisenkot was quoted as saying during a recent closed-door meeting, according to the public broadcaster, which cited unnamed sources.
Eisenkot added that he would agree to meet Trump if invited, but would oppose any US involvement in Israel’s internal political affairs.
Our solution: Prop 40, The California Billionaire Tax Act
We’re calling on California’s billionaires to step up and pay a one-time, emergency 5% tax to prevent the collapse of California healthcare and help fund California public K-14 education and state food assistance programs. This would protect healthcare jobs and ensure working people and families can get the care they need. The tax would be paid only by Californians worth more than $1 billion — which is a bit over 200 people who hold a combined wealth of $2 trillion.
The “no” side has raised roughly 10 times as much as the “yes” side, thanks in large part to tech moguls and venture capitalists, who have poured millions into a political action committee fighting the measure. Billionaires are already bracing for its approval. Some of them, including Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, started cutting ties with the state after the measure was unveiled. Mark Zuckerberg said he would stay in California for eight years and made a deal with Meta that would help him pay the tax without losing his ownership stake in the company.
Entscheidend könnten nun also die arabischen Listen werden: Die sicherten sich bei der Parlamentswahl zusammen 19 Sitze – so viele wie noch nie. „67 Mandate für Veränderung“ war auch einer der Slogans der Demonstrierenden – denn ein Bündnis von Eisenkots Block mit den israelisch-arabischen Parteien käme auf 67 Abgeordnete.
Thousands of people have rallied in Tel Aviv to urge the Israeli opposition to make a deal with Arab parties to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Protesters at Saturday’s rally told the AFP news agency this may be the “last chance for real change” and that Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, is a “great manipulator”.

Frankreichs Gewerkschaftsbund CGT hat im Zuge der aktuellen Sozialproteste zu einem Generalstreik am 5. November aufgerufen. Bei einem „erfolglosen Treffen“ am Mittwoch sei Premier Sébastien Lecornu auf die Forderungen der Gewerkschaften und der Demonstranten vom Wochenende in keiner Weise eingegangen, hieß es. Jetzt sei die Zeit für Streiks gekommen. Das Land befinde sich in einer Krise, die soziale Lage habe sich für eine Mehrheit der Bevölkerung klar verschlechtert.

L‘exécutif est confronté à une colère sociale puissante mais aussi plurielle, avec des revendications portées par différents mouvements. Franceinfo fait le point sur les demandes des uns et des autres et les réponses apportées jusqu‘à présent.
Overall, 19% of respondents said they support Hamas, compared to 24% in a poll conducted this August, and 35% in August 2025.
Among Gaza residents, 27% said they support Hamas, down from 33% in August and 41% in October last year. Support was lowest in the West Bank, where just 13% of respondents said they support Hamas, compared to 32% in October last year.
Hadash Party and Joint List chairman Prof. Yousef Jabareen has declared four central demands from the heads of the anti-Netanyahu bloc parties as a condition for negotiating support for an alternative government after the elections.
Among the demands: a plan to combat crime in the Arab sector, the development of Arab communities, a plan for young people, and a diplomatic horizon for establishing a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.
Bring the World Along
• International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.
• No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.
Safeguards Everyone Can Count On
• Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.
• Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.
• Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.
• Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.
• Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

War der Beitritt zur EU vor zwanzig oder dreißig Jahren schon eine schlechte Idee, so ist er heute eine unendlich viel schlechtere. Denn die EU von 2026 ist nicht einmal mehr die EU von 2008. Die oligarchische Maschinerie des Blocks – die Sparpolitik, die Technokratie, die Verachtung der Demokratie – hat sich zu etwas weitaus Monströserem gewandelt: zu einer voll entwickelten Kriegsmaschine. Eine Einschätzung von Thomas Fazi zum Ausgang des Referendums in Island zur EU.

It is of vital importance that member states of the UN start taking immediate steps towards expelling Israel under the UN Charter. Expulsion from the UN is not only warranted in this case, but is imperative, as it is the only way to ensure the legitimacy of international law, and of the UN itself. Should expulsion prove politically difficult, due to the veto power Israel’s allies – in particular, the US – wield in the UNSC, member states should, at least as a first step, de facto suspend Israel from the UNGA, as was done in the case of South Africa.
The Proposal
That the General Assembly will put forward an immediate motion to vote for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations.

On Monday, several Chilean organizations delivered more than 80,000 signatures to the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, demanding Israel’s expulsion from the organization for war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip.
The collection was led by the Lawyers for Palestine association and the Sign for Palestine campaign, with collection points in various countries. The signatures were presented at the United Nations headquarters in Santiago, Chile.

Under the Omani proposal, which has regional backing and was presented to Iranian officials over the weekend in Tehran, Iran would not exercise sole control over the strait, the source added.
The proposal is based on the Strait of Malacca, which connects the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is jointly managed by the states bordering it: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
