Jabareen: Continuation of Netanyahu or a Jewish-Arab partnership
Joint List Chairman, Prof. Yousef Jabareen, said this morning (Wednesday, October 28) that the list is ready to assist in replacing the far right-wing government. “Netanyahu has continued to incite against the Arab public, and therefore we say clearly today: it is either the continuation of racism, exclusion, and supremacy—or a true Jewish-Arab partnership,” Jabareen said.
“We are also saying: whoever wants to offer a substantive and real alternative to Netanyahu’s bloody government will have to talk to us to pave the way for the change that the public in Israel is hoping for. Yes, we are ready to pave the way for Netanyahu’s ouster,” the leading Hadash activist emphasized.
Arab Israeli voters are essential to Israel’s democratic future – opinion
Therefore, we all – proud Jewish Zionist Israelis included – must encourage this part of the population – full citizens of the Jewish State of Israel – to exercise not only their lawful right to vote but their lawful right to sit in the Knesset, be in the governing coalition, and serve as government ministers. And we must accept them with open arms when they “flock” to do so.
This is the only viable, sustainable, and livable future for this country.
To bring down Netanyahu, Arab-Israeli parties ready for opposition alliance
Raam, a Hebrew acronym for United Arab List, is a moderate Islamist party headed by Mansour Abbas. In 2021, he agreed to join a short-lived coalition of Netanyahu’s opponents, making Raam the first Arab party to join an Israeli government.
The far-left Joint List, led by Yousef Jabareen, brings together three parties with a mixture of communist and Palestinian nationalist leanings.
Abbas and Jabareen told AFP they were ready — under certain conditions — to cooperate with the opposition, particularly the bloc of Netanyahu’s main rival Gadi Eisenkot, which is polling neck and neck with the premier’s.
Calls for change at massive rally in Tel Aviv ahead of Israel election
Last night they came in their tens of thousands to demand an independent state commission of inquiry into how the greatest security breach in Israel‘s history, and as a result the greatest mass slaughter, had been able to occur in the first place.
Three days before an election regarded as the most pivotal in the country‘s history, those attending the rally were clear that there needed to be a change of government, not just to get their long-demanded inquiry but because they say Israel‘s democracy is under threat.
‘Netanyahu Must Go’: 100,000+ Israelis Protest In Tel Aviv; Heat On PM Bibi Before Election | Watch
Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv on October 24 to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, just days before Israel’s October 27 election. Demonstrators gathered at Hostages Square, demanding accountability for the security failures that preceded the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, which killed around 1,200 people and triggered the war in Gaza. Organised by the October Council, the protest brought together critics of Netanyahu’s leadership, including families of hostages, activists and former military officials. Demonstrators called for an independent inquiry into the October 7 attack and voiced concerns over corruption, the state of Israeli democracy and the government’s handling of the conflict

Over 320 Jewish and Arab Academics Call on Public to Vote for the Joint List
Among the signatories are Prof. Amos Goldberg, Prof. Orna Ophir, Prof. Khawla Abu-Baker, Prof. Oded Goldreich, Prof. Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Prof. Oren Yiftachel, Prof. Yehouda Shenhav-Shaer, Prof. Gadi Algazi, Prof. Lior Sternfeld, Prof. Omri Boehm, Prof. Nitza Berkovitch, Prof. Marwan Dwairy, Prof. Raef Zreik, Prof. Yishai Rosen-Zvi, Prof. Gerardo Leibner, Prof. Avner Ben-Amos, Prof. Avishai Ehrlich, Prof. Itzhak Nevo, Prof. Dana Ron, Dr. Anat Matar, Dr. Efraim Davidi and Dr. Ornat Turin.
The statement reads: “We will not give up on a shared future: For equality, peace, and democracy, we will vote for the Joint List. We, academics, express our support for the Joint List and the principles it represents: full equality between Jews and Palestinians; recognition of Palestinians’ civil and national rights; an end to the occupation and the pursuit of a just peace; the struggle against racism and discrimination; and free and equal political representation for all citizens.
“We are living through a period in which racism and incitement are deepening, while the political space for Jewish-Arab partnership is shrinking. The war of annihilation in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the abuse of prisoners, and the rampant crime ravaging Palestinian society all reflect a destructive policy.
“We seek to stand firmly against this policy and emphasize: There is no democracy without equality, no peace without justice, and no shared future without Jewish-Arab political partnership. We believe that the lives and futures of Jews and Palestinians are intertwined, and that only a joint struggle for freedom, equality, and justice can secure a democratic future for us all. We support the Joint List, its principles, and the struggle it represents for a better life for everyone.”
The Joint List‘s Platform: There is another way
The Joint List strives to change the existing political, social and economic reality, to fight the spread of fascism under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, and to act to halt all Israeli wars – chief among them the war of annihilation against the Palestinian people. The list is based in principle on the political platform of the first Joint List (2015), and works to realise this vision through representing the national and civil issues of Arab society with head held high, without trading one for the other.
This vision rests on the essential connection between the national and democratic struggle and action for a safe life with dignity. Hence, we place the individual and their dignity at the centre of politics: we link the national and civil rights of the Arab public to social justice and peace, defend the security of our families and our homes, our children‘s education, our health, and jobs and a life of dignity, and act to translate our joint power into tangible change in people‘s lives. This is our platform, and these are the issues we will place at the top of our priorities:

(August 31, 2026)
In his address, Merkley outlined the severe consequences of the conflict, saying it has failed to control nuclear materials while at the same time has strengthened Iranian hardliners, fractured alliances, and enriched Russia. He also highlighted the human and military costs, pointing to deaths and injuries among U.S. service members and depleted domestic munitions.
Since the start of the war on February 28th, 18 service members have died and 757 have been wounded. Furthermore, Merkley warned that the war is financially pressing Americans against the wall as skyrocketing gas, diesel, and fertilizer prices hit families and farmers hard.

Iran’s Top Politicians Urge an End to the War
DUBAI—Iran’s top politicians said the country needs to focus on ending the war and shoring up its crippled economy, pushing back publicly against hardliners who are taking a more defiant approach in the six-month-old conflict.
The comments by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf come as the diplomatic track remains stalled and the Trump administration has shifted to a policy of ratcheting up economic pressure via sanctions and the naval blockade of Iran’s ports.
World is amazed by Iran’s ‘resistance, solidarity and cohesion’: Pezeshkian
Iran’s president says Washington falsely predicted before the war that the country would fall amid US aggression and become like Venezuela.
“The enemy had assessed that if Iran falls, it will become Venezuela,” he said in a televised speech.
“Not only did it not happen, but it became a power that amazed the world with its resistance, solidarity and cohesion.”
Pezeshkian said Iran’s enemies hope to “create division and rift in society through problems”.
“We will try with all our might to avoid division, rift, conflicts and egos,” he concluded.
Iran‘s president says U.S. memorandum is best path out of stalled war, and other Middle East news
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian defended the memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June as the best way for the country to move beyond a situation of „neither war nor peace.“
„There is not a single provision in this agreement that amounts to capitulation,“ Pezeshkian said in a speech published by state-run IRNA early Sunday.
پزشکیان: به جای بیان دردها، برای درمان مشکلات باید چاره کرد/ لازمه حفظ قدرت، وحدت است
پزشکیان با اشاره به آیات قرآن کریم درباره ضرورت حکومت بر مبنای حق، خاطرنشان کرد: خداوند در قرآن کریم خطاب به حضرت داوود میفرماید که ما تو را مبعوث کردیم تا بر اساس حق میان مردم، نه گروه و دستهای خاص، حکومت کنی و تابع هوای نفس نشوی؛ کسانی که تابع هوای نفس میشوند، گرفتار عذاب علیم خواهند شد.
(…)
رئیسجمهور تصریح کرد: البته تمامی این موضوعات به معنای این نیست که اگر آنها بخواهند تعرضی کنند، ما تسلیم شویم. این دو مسئله جدا از هم است. ما به هیچ عنوان در برابر قلدری سر خم نخواهیم کرد و هیچ تردیدی در آن وجود ندارد. تا آخرین نفس مقابل آنها خواهیم ایستاد و پاسخ کوبنده به آنها خواهیم داد.
پزشکیان با بیان اینکه جنگ باید در یک مقطع به پایان برسد، گفت: بهتر است امروز که در قدرت و عزت هستیم و تمام دنیا به پیروزی ما اذعان دارند و تأکید میکنند که آمریکا برخلاف تمام مقررات، به مدارس، بیمارستانها و زیرساختهای ما حمله کرده و در دنیا منفور است، جنگ را پایان دهیم.
Iran’s president says war with US should end while Tehran is in position of ‘power, dignity’
The Iranian president stressed, however, that the agreement did not mean Tehran would submit in the event of another attack.
“We will under no circumstances bow to bullying,” he said. “We will stand against them until our last breath and give them a crushing response.”
„Position der Stärke“: Iran Präsident will Krieg beenden
Früher oder später müsse der Krieg beendet werden, sagte Massoud Pezeshkian laut der staatlichen Nachrichtenagentur IRNA. „Es ist besser, ihn heute zu beenden, da wir in einer Position der Stärke und Würde sind.“ Die USA seien durch den Krieg in der ganzen Welt verhasst, meinte der Präsident, der im Iran das Amt des Regierungschefs ausübt.
Iran president says time to end war while in position of strength
„The whole world acknowledges our victory and emphasises that America has attacked our schools, hospitals and infrastructure in violation of all regulations and is hated around the world.“
Pezeshkian also defended a memorandum of understanding agreed with the US in June aimed at ending the war, claiming it did not signal a defeat for Tehran.
„They cannot find even a single clause in this agreement that indicates capitulation. All the commitments concern the other side,“ he said.
Iran’s president calls for war to end ‘today’ from position of strength
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for an end to the war while Tehran remains “in a position of strength and dignity”, warning that Iran would crush any renewed attack.
Pezeshkian described the negotiated agreement as a “major achievement” unanimously approved by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. (…)
“War has to end at some point. It is better to end the war today, while we are in a position of strength and dignity,” he added.
‘The Fight Has Just Begun’: Angie Nixon Delivers Shocking Upset Win in Florida
In a surprise upset described variously as “stunning” and “a shocker” in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.
Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.
Angie For Florida
What Led To This Moment
Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantis’s unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experience—watching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families first—not greedy billionaires.

Minister calls for new Gulf security policy
(July 14, 2026)
“One issue demands immediate attention. As widely reported, complex discussions are currently being held with the aim of devising a long-term arrangement for freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. As one of the two states with territorial waters in the Strait, Oman has a special responsibility to work with both Iran – which is the other state whose territorial waters include part of the Strait – and the wider international community of Strait users to find a practical, durable and legal arrangement for free navigation. The international community needs a successful outcome from these consultations; free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for the global economy
US to use military, economic, diplomatic tools to end Iran war: Vance
Asked about the setbacks in negotiations with Iran, Vance cited two factors: “Number one, the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two, they have a fractured system.”
“There are people within their system that want the war to be over and there are also people in their system that are crazy radicals who want the war to continue,” he said.
“Our job is to navigate through that and get the best outcome for the American people and for the President of the United States as well.”

Iraqi factions to surrender weapons to PMF by Sept. 30
Iraqi political leaders agreed on a mechanism for armed factions to hand over their weapons to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which would register and store the arms under state supervision, a source in the leading Shiite Coordination Framework told Shafaq News on Sunday.
Under the agreement, the PMF —a state security organization comprising mostly Shiite armed factions— would take custody of the weapons, document their types and storage locations, and oversee any subsequent movement of arms or personnel under orders from the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
