(August 1, 2026)
Owens claimed the footage was played during the weeklong preliminary hearing for Robinson held in Utah State District Court from July 6-10. Though it has been reported that security footage was played in court during the hearing, officials have not specified what that video actually showed.

Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez forge alliance to advance their socialist agenda
Asked whether AOC, who is 36, would make a good president, Mamdani did not hesitate: “I think she’d make a good anything.” The rise of socialists, personified by this pair of young politicians, has provoked thinly veiled concern within the Democratic establishment, especially among those sectors tied to the party’s traditional support for Israel.

The meetings, involving several departments within the agency, were facilitated by Israel’s liaison officer at Europol and culminated in a visit by Israel’s ambassador to the Netherlands to the agency’s headquarters in March 2026.

Iraqi Resistance holds remote talks on US-Saudi strikes
Participants discussed possible responses to the attacks, including the option of carrying out military retaliation or refraining from any action.
The sources added that “the factions are facing significant political and government pressure not to escalate militarily,” amid concerns that any retaliation could trigger serious security and political repercussions inside Iraq and further widen the regional conflict.

Seltsamkeiten rund um den CSD-Anschlag
Schnell nach dem Anschlag begann die ritualisierte Reaktion: Debatten über Islam, Islamismus und Einwanderung, (absurde) Demos gegen rechts, und die Regierung bereitet wohl schon neue Überwachungs- und Kontrollgesetze (gegen alle) vor. Wichtige Fragen bleiben auf der Strecke. Etwa: Warum wusste man sofort vom Täter?
Tabubruch bei den Geheimdiensten
(July 13, 2026)
Was die Bundesregierung hier plant, ist ein grundlegender Umbau der deutschen Sicherheitsarchitektur. Geheimdienste sollen hacken, manipulieren, aktiv eingreifen und Minderjährige als Informanten einsetzen dürfen. Wer ihnen solche Befugnisse einräumt, verschiebt die Grenzen staatlicher Macht weit in Richtung eines übergriffigen Sicherheitsstaates.
Die Bundesregierung will den Entwurf spätestens Anfang August durch das Bundeskabinett bringen. Jetzt gilt es, laut zu werden. Kubickis Appell ist eindeutig: Die Pläne „sind ohne Beispiel in einer liberalen Demokratie und müssen gestoppt werden“.

Renewed war with Iran threatens to derail congressional agenda
Danielle Pletka, a distinguished senior fellow in foreign and defense policy at the American Enterprise Institute, said Trump has a military plan on his desk that U.S. commanders believe could force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without making any major concessions to its theocratic regime.
“The president has had on his desk for months now a 10- to 14-day plan that would do what was necessary to finish out the mission of the war on Iran. It would take out the remaining missile sites we saw them work on, the remaining parts of their defense-industrial complex, the remaining nuclear [program] and some of the critical [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] emplacements, and do that in a way that Centcom feels would mean we could walk away, not have a deal, and stop worrying about Iran for a little while,” she said.
“Will it take 10 to 14 days? Who knows? Is the president going to follow that plan? Who knows?” she said.
Israel must immediately release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: UN experts
On 27 December 2024, Kamal Adwan Hospital was the last functioning hospital in North Gaza. “The hospital’s director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya along with other medical staff and patients were illegally detained by Israel on the basis of the abusive Unlawful Combatants’ Law”, the experts said.
(…)
“Israel and its allies have ignored the International Court of Justice and UN mechanims and experts as they continue to commit these violations of international law without any consequences,” they said.
(…)
The experts:
– Tlaleng Mofokeng, Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health
– Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967
– Morris Tidball-Binz, Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions
– Ben Saul, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedom while countering terrorism
Save Dr. Abu Safiya
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya to his attorney: “This is the last time you’ll see me… They brought me here to kill me.”
Recent reports raise grave concerns about Dr. Abu Safiya and the other healthcare professionals from Gaza held in Israeli detention facilities.
PHRI demands the immediate removal of Dr. Abu Safiya from the Rekafet underground security facility and an urgent assessment of his condition by an independent actor, before it is too late.
Detained Gaza doctor almost unrecognisable after injuries in Israeli jail, lawyer says
“I have visited Dr Abu Safiya several times since his detention, but the individual I encountered during this latest visit was not the same person I had previously met,” Odeh said on Sunday, calling for an immediate independent medical examination. ‘‘His physical and psychological state, the severe injuries visible on his body, and his personal testimony leave no room for doubt: his life is in immediate danger.”
Abu Safiya appeared frightened, distressed and reluctant to speak freely in the meeting, Odeh said, but told his lawyer that he was subjected to daily beatings in the Rakefet jail, and had lost consciousness several times as a result.
Rakefet, where prisoners never see daylight, was built in the 1980s to hold senior organised crime figures before being closed on the grounds it was inhumane. It was reopened on the orders of the far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Kidnapped Gaza Doctor Faces ‘Life-Threatening Condition’ in Israeli Captivity
A famed Palestinian hospital director who Israel abducted in December 2024 is on the brink of death, his lawyer warns.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been in Israeli captivity for 18 months, ever since Israeli forces shut down the crucial Kamal Adwan Hospital – the second largest in northern Gaza – in the winter of 2024.
Now, Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) is relaying a warning from Abu Safiya’s lawyer, Nasser Odeh, that the prominent Palestinian pediatrician and hospital director is in “life-threatening condition” and enduring “daily violence and beatings.”

Suspend EU-Israel Trade Agreement
Israel is committing heinous violations of international law against Palestinians and in Lebanon with impunity, and has just adopted a death penalty law targeting Palestinians. The European Union (EU) is Israel’s biggest trading partner, and must take concrete action. Italy and Germany can sway the decision to suspend the EU-Israel trade agreement. Send a message and demand Giorgia Meloni and Friedrich Merz stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide, unlawful occupation and apartheid.

Caught in the warzone: 42 Lebanese soldiers killed by Israeli attacks
(Novenber 11, 2024)
Since October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah opened a support front for Hamas, Israeli strikes have killed 42 Lebanese soldiers, according to military sources.
These casualties include 18 soldiers killed in active service at military positions and 24 others targeted in buildings where they were present.
Rashida Tlaib calls out Brian Mast for describing Lebanese civilians killed by Israel as terrorists
US Representative Rashida Tlaib rejected Republican representative Brian Mast’s claim that Lebanese civilians killed by Israel are “terrorists”.
The exchange occurred on Wednesday night during a US House of Representatives session following Tlaib‘s resolution to withdraw US troops from Lebanon, which Mast called “reckless and unserious”.
“Eleven children killed, injured every 24 hours in Lebanon. Are those children Hezbollah? Are those children terrorists?” Tlaib shot at Mast who continued to dismiss Tlaib and her call to protect civilians in Lebanon.
Track AIPAC, an American online project that tracks US political donations by organisations that are part of the Israel lobby, including Aipac, reported that Mast received $881,227 from pro-Israel PACs as of April 2026.
‘Embarrassing’: pressure on Merz after Germany’s failure to win UN security council seat
In an awkward rivalry among EU partners, Portugal took 134 votes and Austria 131 while Germany garnered just 104, significantly below the required 127 votes despite Berlin’s expressed confidence just hours before that it would prevail.
Both winners were seen to represent the interests of smaller countries, while Austria could benefit from its perceived neutrality as a non-Nato member and Portugal touted its strong ties in Africa and Latin America.
Did Germany lose its UNSC seat because of support for Israel?
Wadephul’s bid won 104 votes in the UN General Assembly, falling 23 short of the two-thirds majority required for election.
This is the first time Germany has failed to win a rotating seat on the Security Council after decades of successfully securing one of the Western European seats every eight years.
