In der Linkspartei selbst brodelt es. Am Freitag wandten sich die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Ăzlem Demirel, verschiedene Parteistrukturen, zahlreiche Parlamentarier (darunter Lea Reisner, Nicole Gohlke und Cansın KöktĂŒrk) und weitere FunktionĂ€re an die Ăffentlichkeit. Dass sich die Verhandler dem Druck von GrĂŒnen und SPD gebeugt hĂ€tten, sei ein »schwerer politischer Fehler«. Nicht nur ĂŒbernĂ€hmen sie die »Narrative einer medialen Hetzkampagne«, sondern auch die verlangten »Disziplinierungs- und Spaltungsmechanismen«. Die Unterzeichner fordern ein sofortiges Ende der »bĂŒrokratischen VerdrĂ€ngungsversuche, zum Beispiel ĂŒber Ausschlussverfahren«.

Wir werden Transaktionen mit diesem Schurkengericht verbieten, seine Ressourcen beschneiden und seine Arbeit lahmlegen«, hieĂ es weiter. Washington stöĂt sich insbesondere an den im â vergangenen Jahr erlassenen Haftbefehlen des Gerichts gegen israelische Regierungsvertreter, darunter MinisterprĂ€sident âBenjamin Netanjahu.

âHeâs Desperateâ: AIPAC Begins Spending Against Abdul El-Sayed to Boost Mike Rogers
A campaign finance report filed on Friday revealed that the American Israel Public Affairs Committeeâs super PAC, the United Democracy Project, has resumed spending on Michiganâs US Senate race, dropping $95,000 on mailers opposing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a bid to help Republican Mike Rogers weeks ahead of the key midterm contest.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) report came a day after Rogers and El-Sayed clashed on the debate stage over healthcare, drug prices, military assistance to Israel, and other issues. Asked during the debate whether he would accept AIPACâs support in the race, Rogers said, âAnybody that wants to help my campaign stop [El-Sayed]… Iâll take all of that help.â

Trumpâs DOJ says it will withdraw subpoenas targeting NY Times reporters
The Justice Department opened a leak investigation and took aggressive steps to identify the officials who spoke with The Times. Some officials were asked to turn over their cell phones at the White House, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Some of the subpoenas â which are court orders compelling a person to testify â were delivered by FBI agents at the reportersâ homes.
The Times publicized the legal threat right away and aggressively fought back, calling the subpoenas a âbad faith effort to harass and intimidateâ the news media.
The Justice Department said it was not targeting the reporters; it was pursuing the leakers of classified information.
Caving to Trump âTemper Tantrum,â Two Republicans Flip to Block Iran War Powers Resolution
Two Senate Republicans who supported a previous resolution calling for an end to the US war on Iran changed their votes late Wednesday after President Donald Trump publicly and privately berated GOP lawmakers, calling them âlosersâ who provided âaid and comfort to the enemy.â
In Wednesdayâs procedural vote, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.)âwho reportedly got into a shouting match with Trump over the Iran war during a closed-door lunch hours earlierâsided with virtually every other Republican in opposing the war powers resolution, just a day after he supported a separate, symbolic resolution calling for the removal of US forces from the conflict. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) also switched, changing his vote to âpresentâ at the urging of the president.
Senate rejects measure to restrict Trump‘s Iran war powers as key Republicans shift votes
Updated on: June 24, 2026 / 11:37 PM EDT / CBS News
Later in the day, however, signs emerged that some of the Senate Republicans who had previously voted to constrain Mr. Trump‘s war powers were reconsidering.
Cassidy was briefed on Iran at the White House by Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff, the senator confirmed on X, writing that the conversation „address[ed] many of my concerns.“ Cassidy voted against advancing the resolution Wednesday night.
And Paul voted present on Wednesday, despite voting in favor of the last several Iran war powers resolutions. He said on X his goal was to „give the President more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace.“

Exclusive: Hackers have breached tank readers at US gas stations; officials suspect Iran is responsible
But, the sources cautioned, the US government may not be able to definitively determine who was responsible because of a lack of forensic evidence left by the hackers.
CNN has requested comment on the ATG hack from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The FBI declined to comment.
Trump says Hegseth âfirst one to speak upâ in support of Iran war
âPete, I think you were the first one to speak up and you said letâs do it because you canât let them have a nuclear weapon,â the president said at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee.
Hegseth was sitting beside Trump at the roundtable in Memphis.
Trump Tries to Spread Blame for Iran War
As the conflict increases in complexity and decreases in popularity with the American public, Trump is trying a new tactic: throwing his Cabinet under the bus.
At a Monday roundtable event with national military and law enforcement leaders, Trump told the audience and reporters that his Secretary of Defense and self styled Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, was actually the person responsible for pushing him to go to war.
I was in the room when Trump addressed leaders in Davos. Here are my top takeaways
Trump was met with loud applause as he took the stage for what many billed as the most closely watched speech of this yearâs Davos.
He opened by saying it was good to see so many friends and âsome enemies,â drawing laughter from the crowd. From there, he leaned heavily into self-assessment, describing himself as the most successful president and pointing to what he said were his major achievements accomplished in just one year….
Trump claims Herzog told him Netanyahu pardon âon its wayâ; Israeli president denies it
Speaking during his meeting in Florida with Netanyahu, Trump said he believed a pardon was on the way: âHow can you not?â he said. âHeâs a wartime prime minister whoâs a hero. How do you not give a pardon?â
(…)
âThere has not been a conversation between President Herzog and President Trump since the pardon request was submitted,â Herzogâs office said in a statement issued just a few minutes after Trumpâs comments.
Takeaways from Trump and Netanyahuâs meeting in Florida
Trump at the outset of the session told reporters that he planned to speak with Netanyahu about âfive major subjects,â later suggesting that theyâd come close to settling three of them within the first five minutes of their session.
In addition to Gaza, Trump indicated plans to address issues in the occupied West Bank and potential threats posed by Iran.
But more than an hour later, the two emerged with no new milestones to announce.
Colombia suspends intelligence sharing with US over strikes on Caribbean boats
President Gustavo Petro ordered Colombiaâs intelligence agencies to stop sharing information on drug trafficking with their United States counterparts until US President Donald Trump stops ordering strikes on boats in the Caribbean.

Trump says 2 survivors of US strike on submarine being sent to Ecuador, Colombia in move that avoids legal fight
In a legal defense provided to Congress, Trump told lawmakers that the U.S. is in an „armed conflict“ with the cartels and that drug smugglers are „unarmed combatants.“
Some legal experts have said such an argument is unlikely to hold up in court. However, it was unclear who would challenge Trumpâs rationale in defense of the drug cartels, with few lawmakers speaking out against it and Trump continuing to expand military operations in the region in recent weeks.

Furious row after Labour MPs denied entry to Israel – as Lammy criticises ‚disgraceful‘ Badenoch response
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticised Ms Badenoch‘s comments, writing in a post on X: „It‘s disgraceful you are cheerleading another country for detaining and deporting two British MPs. Do you say the same about Tory MPs banned from China?“
Ms Badenoch retorted, saying: „Unlike China, Israel is our ally and a democracy. A good Foreign Sec would be able to make that distinction.“
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch slammed for siding with Israel over UK MPs in deportation row
In an interview with the BBC‘s Laura Kuenssberg, the Tory leader threw her support behind Israel‘s decision, arguing that „every country should be allowed to police its own borders“.
The MPs were travelling to the occupied West Bank, which the UK government recognises as occupied Palestinian territory.
„If you look at the reasons why the Israeli government has given for why theyâre not letting them in, they donât believe that theyâre going to comply with their laws,“ Badenoch added.

Europawahl-Programm AfD: wollte EU nur „aus Versehen“ auflösen
(14.07.2023)
Dass solch eine gravierende Forderung ohne einen Beschluss der Bundesprogrammkommission redaktionell „aus Versehen“ in einen Leitantrag gerĂ€t, klingt etwas skurril. Aus Parteikreisen heiĂt es, dass vor allem Co-Parteichefin Alice Weidel im EU-Auflösungsstreben ein Problem gesehen habe und daher die Umformulierung vorziehen wĂŒrde. Auch die Formulierung aus dem Bundestagswahlprogramm 2021 habe sie nicht fĂŒr geeignet gehalten. Damals hatte die AfD geschrieben, sie halte einen Austritt Deutschlands aus der EuropĂ€ischen Union fĂŒr notwendig.

K-Frage in der CDU: Ein Hauch von Machtprobe
Beherrschtheit, Disziplin, Vorsicht – das sind herausstechende Merkmale des 47 Jahre alten MĂŒnsterlĂ€nders, der in seinen frĂŒheren, bisweilen ungestĂŒmen Jahren als rauflustiger GeneralsekretĂ€r der NRW-CDU gezeigt hat, dass er auch anders kann. Als er sich aber vor gut anderthalb Jahren anschickte, die Nachfolge von Armin Laschet anzutreten, schaltete WĂŒst in den Kontrollmodus. Jeder Satz ist seitdem ĂŒberlegt, sprachliche AusflĂŒge in unwegsames GelĂ€nde meidet er wie der Teufel das Weihwasser.
Machtkampf mit CDU-Chef Merz: Was Hendrik WĂŒst bei der Kanzlerkandidatur wirklich vorhat
Laumann, Chef des ArbeitnehmerflĂŒgels in der CDU, konnte mit WĂŒsts raubeinigen Auftreten in der Zeit als GeneralsekretĂ€r von JĂŒrgen RĂŒttgers (regierte zwischen 2005 und 2010) wenig anfangen. WĂŒst kam vom anderen Pol der NRW-CDU. Gemeinsam mit einer Gruppe um den damaligen CSU-General Markus Söder hatte er ein von den Medien viel beachtetes Thesenpapier fĂŒr einen âmodernen Konservatismusâ vorgelegt. Die Gruppe nannte sich selbst scherzhaft âSchwarze Jedi-Ritterâ.
