Hadash, Taâal and Balad Re-establish the Joint List Ahead of Israelâs Election
The three parties last ran together in 2021, along with the Islamist Raâam party headed by Mansour Abbas. But Raâam decided to break off months before the election and run independently. Raâam won four seats and joined the Naftali Bennett-Yair Lapid coalition.
âIn the coming weeks,â Jabareen wrote in a post to X/Twitter on Wednesday evening, âwe will work with all our strength to increase voter turnout among the entire public and ensure that the Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich government does not return to power.â âThis is not only our mission, but also the mission of everyone who seeks to change the difficult reality in which we live.â According to a Maariv poll published last Friday the Joint List would win eight seats.
âDeranged Behaviorâ: Marco Rubio Slammed for US Sanctions on ICC President
The social media account of Drop Site News accused Rubio of attacking the court solely to protect Netanyahu from war crimes prosecution, pointing out that âthere is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrantâ from the ICC.
The sanctions earned the praise of the Israeli American Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which accused the ICC of conducting âpolitically motivated investigations and prosecutions targeting America and Israel.â
Rutgers Law School professor Adil Haque said the ICC sanctions showed the US was acting like a ârogue governmentâ and engaged in âderanged behavior.â
Hamasâ agreement to Trumpâs disarmament plan âcalls Israelâs bluffâ
The announcement that Hamas has agreed to a roadmap for its disarmament can now shift that dynamic, yet it is unlikely things will change on the ground anytime soon.
âThe last thing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants going into Octoberâs elections is US pressure to withdraw from Gaza, and itâs likely he will foot-drag any further negotiations as much as possible,â Norman said.
Netanyahu and Zelenskyy meet separately with Trump at the White House
(July 28, 2026, 10:26 PM)
The meetings with Trump were expected to give both leaders a chance to push their agendas with the president at a time when U.S. policy towards Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war continues to be in flux.
âA disaster for America Firstâ: Trump allies fear Netanyahu meeting will pull US deeper into war with Iran
The meeting comes as new polling shows that a growing share of the presidentâs base no longer believes the war is worth its economic costs. And Republicans are increasingly resigned to the fact that the war will likely still be hanging over voters in some form when they head to the polls in November.
Curt Mills, executive director of the American Conservative magazine, described the meeting as âDEFCON 1.â
Why this time around, Netanyahuâs meeting with Trump might not go to script
Netanyahu has been working to secure an invitation to the White House for several weeks, according to a US official and an Israeli source, to discuss progress in the Iran war and warn Trump against diplomatic concessions.
Trump had been resistant to meeting, and some White House officials have been frustrated at what they regarded as Israeli attempts to secure a meeting through media leaks â to âwill a meeting into existence,â the US official said
Netanyahu, Zelenskyy come to DC for Grahamâs funeral, meetings with Trump amid wars
At Trumpâs invitation, Netanyahu flew to Washington on Monday for the service, his office announced. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also plans to attend the Washington funeral, a White House official confirmed.
Both leaders are planning to meet with Trump during their respective visits.
Zelenskyy has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor. A blatant UN Charter violation done at Israel‘s behest to drag Europe into its war. In calls with EU High Rep Kallas and FM Lavrov, made clear that what the freeloader in Kyiv did CANNOT GO UNANSWERED.

Mamdani: New York darf Netanjahu nicht festnehmen
Im Wahlkampf hatte der Demokrat angekĂŒndigt, Netanjahu im Falle seiner Wahl zum BĂŒrgermeister festnehmen zu lassen. SpĂ€ter Ă€uĂerte er sich zurĂŒckhaltender und verwies auf eine PrĂŒfung der Möglichkeiten. Netanjahu wird zur UN-Generaldebatte im September in New York erwartet.
Mamdani: Netanyahu is a war criminal, but New York cannot arrest him
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani releases a video statement calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to face trial for war crimes, citing the ICCâs arrest warrant. But, after days of speculation, Mamdani says New York does not have the power to arrest Netanyahu.
MK Odeh Broke the Israeli Official Boycott and Met with UN Secretary-General Guterres
Following that meeting, MK Odeh stated, âI met with UN Secretary-General Guterres. I thanked him for his principled stances during this difficult time and made it clear that the war of destruction in Gaza must be ended through a comprehensive deal. I emphasized that there is no solution other than ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel. It is the duty of the international community to recognize this right, and the UN plays a pivotal role in correcting this historical injustice.â He stressed, âThere is no other way but the path of peace and justice.â
Who is behind the West‘s Iran policy?
Over the past few years, I came to the conclusion that Great Britain was worldâs chief arsonist of peace and suggested that if, the City of London, with its supporting structures in British government, banking, intelligence, secret diplomacy, along with a vast network of think tanks, media organizations, NGOs, charitable organizations and gambling casinos around the world could somehow be quarantined, probably 95% of all the worldâs wars and other problems would vanish overnight.
Wer steckt hinter der Iran-Politik des Westens?
In den letzten Jahren bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass GroĂbritannien der weltweit gröĂte Friedensstörer ist. Wenn es gelĂ€nge, die Londoner City mit ihren StĂŒtzpfeilern in der britischen Regierung, im Bankwesen, im Geheimdienst, in der geheimen Diplomatie sowie mit einem riesigen Netzwerk aus Thinktanks, Medienorganisationen, NGOs, WohltĂ€tigkeitsorganisationen und Spielkasinos auf der ganzen Welt irgendwie unter QuarantĂ€ne zu stellen, wahrscheinlich 95 % aller Kriege und anderen Probleme der Welt ĂŒber Nacht verschwinden wĂŒrden.
Report: Netanyahu âin panicâ over new US-Iran Lebanon oversight mechanism; US official denies Israel excluded
US Vice President JD Vance said earlier today that a new âdeconfliction mechanismâ was established during yesterdayâs talks in Burgenstock. According to an earlier Channel 12 report, the new arrangement would replace the one brokered in 2024 under the Biden administration, which included Israel, Lebanon, the US, France, and the UN, with a new body being made up of the US, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, and Pakistan.
For the MOU to hold and result in a lasting peace, we must restrict aid to Israel immediately & make it clear that we will not defend them should Iran opt to strike in response to Israelâs attacks in Lebanon.
Israel has not responded to our verbal & written demandsâthat is not going to change, unless we change it by taking action.
Israel claims sovereignty & continues to threaten our peace deal, yet they rely on us to bail them out. This is calculated.
We have to respond accordingly and stop this cycle once and for all.
Lead with action: remove their leverage, otherwise they will not take us seriously.
An open SOH & peace in the region have to be our focus. Israel is playing spoilerâwe must limit their ability to do so.
JD Vance Unloads On Israel For Not Backing ‚Only Powerful Ally‘ It Has Left
At times, he said, âWe seem to be right on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the agreement, and then all of a sudden thereâs a major explosion that goes off in a major population center in Beirut, and a lot of people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah lose their lives, and thatâs not acceptable.â
Vance said Trump has become frustrated with Israel for attacking Lebanon.
‚Wake Up and Smell the Reality‘: JD Vance Warns Israel to Abide by Trumpâs Iran Deal
(June 18, 2026)
In response to those attacks, Vance pointed out that two-thirds of Israelâs defense weapons have been built and paid for by Americans and that the problem for Israel âis not Donald Trump.â
âAnybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation in that country,â he added.
Vance Issues Blunt Warning to Israel as He Defends Trumpâs Deal
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday delivered an extraordinarily direct rebuke to Israeli critics of the U.S.-Iran peace agreement, as he sought to defend the preliminary deal with repeated misrepresentations of some of its terms.
âDonald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time,â Mr. Vance said. He added, âIf I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.â
Ending the Costly, Unnecessary Iran War Is the Right Thing. Period.
The task now is not to reward Trump politically, nor to excuse the recklessness that produced this war. It is to prevent the war from returning. Democrats can condemn the decision to start it without sabotaging the agreement that ends it. They can hold Trump accountable without helping Netanyahu drag the United States back into conflict. The choice before them is not between opposing Trump and supporting peace. It is between learning from Americaâs endless wars and repeating them.
We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel, they took every opportunity to tank this deal & will likely do so again unless we take action.
We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners canât strike us to drag us back into the fight.
Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iranâs terms.
Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

Hundreds Protest in Lod Against Crime in Arab Community; Anti-Government Rallies Nationwide
(June 14, 2026)
In Tel Aviv, approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered at Habima Square. At the protest held at the Horev Center in Haifa, activist Nava Rozilio declared in her speech âIn spite of the far-right government, there will be democracy here, there will be the rule of law, and Jews and Arabs will live here in full equality. In spite of them, Israel will return to striving for peace instead of drowning in war.â
A joint demonstration of religious and secular citizens against the government also took place at the Ein HaNatziv junction near Beit Sheâan. This followed an incident the previous week where fascist counterprotesters passing by cursed and attacked the demonstrators. Additional protests were held across the country, including at the Karkur, Tzemach, and Gomeh junctions in the Galilee, as well as in Rosh Pina, Karmiel, Nahariya, the Beer Sheva Performing Arts Center, Elyakim Bridge, Haogen junction, Rehovot, Herzliya, Kfar Saba, the Kabri junction in the Western Galilee and Afula.
Ex-Israeli premier urges removal of Netanyahu âwith sticks, stonesâ if elections are sabotaged
Barak argued that Netanyahu âcould sabotage the elections by launching operations in Lebanon that would provoke retaliation from Hezbollah and Iran.
âNetanyahu wants an endless war because he understands that ending it would accelerate his trial,â Barak said. âJust as he obstructed some prisoner-exchange deals (with Hamas), he also blocked the possibility of progress in Lebanon.â
Netanyahu is currently standing trial in Israel on corruption charges and is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2024 on allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Hadash: No to Netanyahuâs Eternal War
(June 8, 2026)
âThe time has come to stop providing automatic backing for destructive policies that lead to endless bloodshed, and instead fight for diplomatic agreements, true security, and peace. No to war with Iran. No to Netanyahuâs eternal war.â
According to Hadash MK Ayman Odeh, âWar is the last resort for those who have no answers. War is the last resort of those who fear facing reality. And no one fears reality more than the Israeli government and large segments of the opposition, who repeatedly rush to align themselves behind the government, even attempting to outflank from the right the most right-wing and dangerous government in the countryâs history.â
âWere they truly brave, rather than warmongers, they would call for an immediate halt to the escalation and present an alternative to the public. And the alternative is clear: a peaceful agreement that ensures security for all peoples in the region and respects the national rights of both nations living on this land. It is impossible to keep running away from this issue. It is impossible to keep fearing to speak the truth. It is impossible to keep falling for the illusion that more wars will bring security. Therefore, I say here in the clearest possible way: No to war with Iran. No to the eternal war. Yes, to a peaceful agreement. Yes, to a different, safer, and more just future for all of us,â he agreed.
About the West Asia War
You are an idiot. And youâre not alone with that. Even a small group of people out of the eight billion people on Earth could have stopped the West Asia War; the onslaught in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and even in Israel. But not a single parliament, lawmaker, NGO, journalist, or whatever-movement on Earth, not even the Good Guys, have been digging into the core of the issue; of what really happened.
And I can prove it.
Netanyahu to run for re-election, his party says, after Trump raises doubts
Netanyahu has faced a tumultuous term since returning to power in December 2022 at the helm of âthe most right-wing coalition in Israeli history. He faced mass anti-government protests before âthe wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Polls have repeatedly indicated that his coalition would fail to âwin â a majority at the next election. A poll published by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute think tank on June 9 said that 61% of the Israeli public believe he should not run.
âI wonder if Bibi even wants to continue:â Trump casts doubt on Netanyahuâs political future
„I don‘t know,“ Trump said when questioned about whether Netanyahu would lead Israelâs upcoming election. „He‘s had an incredible career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he‘s a wartime prime minister. We‘re going to win this war very soon, one way or another, and he‘s a wartime prime minister.“
Trump explicitly framed the long-serving Israeli leader‘s future as uncertain, signaling that Washington may already be preparing for a post-Netanyahu political landscape. „It‘s an open question whether Netanyahu will run again,“ Trump remarked to reporters. „I wonder if Bibi even wants to continue.
