The utter hypocrisy of many European leaders when it comes to international law is staggering
âIn a perfect world, all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But we do not live in a perfect world, and we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate. This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on.â
âThe United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world. But we cannot ignore that today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve the war in Gaza. Instead, it was American leadership that freed captives from barbarians and brought about a fragile truce. It had not solved the war in Ukraine. It took American leadership and partnership with many of the countries here today just to bring the two sides to the table in search of a still-elusive peace. It was powerless to constrain the nuclear program of radical Shia clerics in Tehran. That required 14 bombs dropped with precision from American B-2 bombers. And it was unable to address the threat to our security from a narcoterrorist dictator in Venezuela. Instead, it took American Special Forces to bring this fugitive to justice.â
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a stark message at the Munich Security Conference, dismissing the United Nations as having „no answers“ for today‘s most urgent crises. Citing Gaza, Ukraine and Iran, Rubio argued that real outcomes come not through international institutions, but through American leadership â and even precision strikes by B-2 bombers.
He acknowledged that âwe have bled and died side-by-side on battlefields from Kapyong to Kandahar,â a contrast with disparaging remarks by Trump about NATO alliesâ troops in Afghanistan that drew an outcry. âAnd Iâm here today to make it clear that America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity. and that once again, we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends.â
Addressing its conflict with Tehran, Katz claimed that Israel had inflicted âsignificant damage on Iranâs nuclear and strategic capabilities.â
âI am following reports regarding Iran, which we struck strongly in cooperation with our American partners, and the security establishment is closely monitoring developments. Naturally, I cannot provide further details,â he added.
The Israeli army has launched a brutal offensive in Gaza, killing more than 71,000 people, mostly women and children, and injuring over 171,000 others since October 2023.
âIf we in this DĂĄil canât recognize that Israel is a terrorist state, then weâre in serious trouble,â she said in a video shared on her campaignâs Facebook page in June, referring to the lower house of the Irish legislature where she served. She went on to criticize Israelâs strikes on Iranâs nuclear program, its military conduct in Gaza, and other Israeli policies.
Connolly, 68, is a long-time critic of the European Union in overwhelmingly pro-EU Ireland. She was backed by the left-dominated opposition, was not a household name, and was underestimated by many at the start of the campaign.
At least nine people have been killed after Israel carried out air strikes in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and al-Jawf governorate, a day after targeting Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha.
Yemenâs Ministry of Health said on Wednesday that 118 people were wounded in Israeli aggression on Sanaa and al-Jawf. It described the figures as a preliminary toll, warning the number could rise as rescue teams continue to search for victims.
President Mahdi Al-Mashat, head of the Supreme Political Council, mourned the death of Prime Minister of the Government of Change and Construction, Ahmed Ghalib Al-Rahwi, and several of his companions who were killed in an Israeli strike last Thursday. He extended condolences to the victimsâ families, the Yemeni people, and state institutions, hailing the fallen officials as examples of responsibility and service.
Israel killed the prime minister of the Houthi-controlled government in Yemen, Ahmed al-Rahawi, in an attack this past week that hit the capital, Sana, a Houthi spokesman said on Saturday. He was the most senior official in the Iranian-backed militant group to be killed in the conflict so far.
In a statement, the Houthi government said that a number of Mr. al-Rahawiâs colleagues were also killed and wounded, without naming them. It said Israel had attacked while they had gathered in Sana for a government workshop on Thursday afternoon.

With six Eurofighters and around 160 soldiers, the Air Force, under the leadership of the Tactical Air Force Squadron 31 „Boelcke“, takes part in the multinational air force exercise Blue Flag in Israel. be practiced air operations in a multinational group. In addition to the Israeli hosts, the air forces of the USA, India, Great Britain, France, Greece and Italy are also involved. With its open air space and its topography, which is largely below sea level, Israel offers the best training conditions for our pilots.
But we are asked to believe that this vicious imperial power structure is the only rational actor on earth, and that those who resist its aggressions are the crazy ones.
And you are told that if you canât see this, then youâre crazy too. Youâre a crackpot. A conspiracy theorist. A paranoid nutball whose voice should be marginalized and whose ideas should be dismissed with a scoff.
You are crazy if you donât believe what the worldâs craziest power structure says about its enemies being crazy.
It is gaslighting on a global scale. It is madness, and that is why this civilization has gone mad.
Letâs hope someone finds a way to protect the world from the insanity of the western empire.

âThis action was taken in response to a persistent threat from the Houthis to freedom of navigation,â U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey said. âA 55% drop in shipping through the Red Sea has already cost billions, fueling regional instability and risking economic security for families in the U.K.â

Sana‘a – Saba:
Civiliansâwomen and childrenâalong with densely populated homes and neighborhoods, bustling markets, commercial shops, cemeteries, and civilian facilities and properties.
This is the target bank of the American enemy since the beginning of its brutal aggression against the Yemeni people, which escalated last Sunday evening with an attack on the crowded residential area and market of Fura in the capital‘s municipality.
There was no immediate comment from the American military about the operation, which the British Defense Ministry said early Wednesday was carried out overnight âto degrade Houthi capabilities and prevent further attacks against U.K. and international shipping.â
Typhoon jets using precision guided bombs took part in the mission, the ministry said in a statement. The target was âa cluster of buildings, used by the Houthis to manufacture drones of the type used to attack ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, located some 15 miles south of Sana,â the statement added, referring to the Yemeni capital.

An American airstrike hit a densely populated area of the Yemeni capital on Sunday, killing 12 people and injuring 30, according to the health ministry of the Houthi-led government.
Two witnesses who live in the capital, Sana, said that the attack struck a neighborhood near the Old City, a densely populated Unesco world heritage site that is filled with ancient towers.

American Presidents have struck Yemen before, often pointing to the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, a joint resolution passed after 9/11, which gave the President the power to attack terrorist targets in foreign countries without a formal âdeclaration of war.â But Trump hasnât invoked the A.U.M.F.; instead, he echoed aides who say that it is within the Presidentâs constitutional power to launch attacks for defensive purposes. His predecessors, too, seemed to operate with that license: most recently, the Biden Administration continued to strike Houthi targets, without Congressional approval, even after taking the Houthis off the list of foreign terrorist organizations.
On Thursday night, the US bombed the Ras Isa fuel port in Yemenâs Red Sea province of Hodeidah, targeting the facility with two attacks that killed dozens of civilian workers and paramedics.
According to Yemenâs Health Ministry, at least 74 people, including at least five paramedics, were killed, and 171 were wounded. The paramedics were hit by a second US attack on the facility that came after rescue workers had already arrived at the scene to help victims of the first strikes (watch graphic footage of the aftermath of the attack here).
âToday, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists,â CENTCOM said on Thursday in a post on social media. âThe objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis,â it said.
Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed al-Attab, reporting from Yemenâs capital Sanaa, said the US air strikes hit several different areas, but were most concentrated around the port facility.
âThe first four air raids were waged while the people were working,â he said. The air raids took employees by surprise, he said, including truck drivers who were on the scene at the time.
An intense series of suspected U.S. airstrikes hit sites across Yemen held by the Houthi rebels into Thursday morning, with at least one person reportedly being killed in the capital, Sanaa.
