âMinisters were clear today that Iran‘s actions are unacceptable,â said Kaja Kallas, high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice-president of the European Commission. âIn response, EU Member States in Brussels today approved sanctions against the Iranian individuals and entities involved in disrupting transit through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the first time the EU has applied its new freedom of navigation sanctions regime, and where necessary [it] will apply it again.â

Behind the riots: Israel-Pahlavi nexus and the delusion of âregime changeâ in Iran
The alliance between Iranâs former monarchists and the Israeli regime â actors united by shared interests â gained further momentum after Pahlavi and his spouse visited the Israeli-occupied territories in April 2024 at the invitation of Netanyahu himself.
The visit marked the formalization of what had long been an informal and deeply troubling relationship.
This relationship was further solidified after the Tel Aviv regime launched an unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Iran in June this year, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 1,000 people, including women and children.
While the Iranian nation mourned its dead, Pahlavi monarchists openly celebrated. Reza Pahlavi offered no words of sympathy for the victims of the 12-day war, laying bare where his loyalties truly lie.
„Outrageous“: JetBlue A320 Narrowly Avoids Mid-Air Collision With US Military Tanker Over Curaçao
To maintain a safe level of separation, the JetBlue aircraft halted its climb and leveled its altitude before eventually climbing again to cruising altitude. During communications between the aircraft and ATC, Curaçao‘s control center confirmed that the military tanker was not visible on their screens either.
With its transponder not switched on, the aircraft would also not have been visible to JetBlue‘s Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), which relies on transponder signals from nearby aircraft to warn of potential collisions. While this near-miss occurred during daylight hours, the situation could have been a lot worse if it happened at night during minimal visibility.
JetBlue plane near Venezuela avoids âmidair collisionâ with US Air Force aircraft
A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a US Air Force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.
âWe almost had a midair collision up here,â the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. âThey passed directly in our flight path. ⊠They donât have their transponder turned on, itâs outrageous.â
The incident involved JetBlue Flight 1112 from Curaçao, which is just off the coast of Venezuela, en route to New York Cityâs John F. Kennedy International Airport.
UK military equipment used by militia accused of genocide found in Sudan, UN told
(October 28, 2025)
British military equipment has been found on battlefields in Sudan, used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of genocide, according to documents seen by the UN security council.
(…)
Months after the UN security council first received material alleging that the UAE may have supplied British-made items to the RSF, new data indicates that the British government went on to approve further exports to the Gulf state for military equipment of the same type.
British engines made specifically for a type of UAE-manufactured armoured personnel carrier also appear to have been exported to the Emirates, despite evidence that the vehicles had been used in Libya and Yemen in defiance of UN arms embargos.
»All Eyes on Gaza« kann nur der Anfang sein
Eine AuĂenministerin verteidigt das Bombardieren von KrankenhĂ€usern und Schulen; ein Bundeskanzler beschreibt einen illegalen, unprovozierten Luftkrieg als notwendige »Drecksarbeit«; Politiker und Journalisten stellen immer wieder infrage, ob die grausamen Bilder von Massenmord in Gaza nicht vielleicht doch gestellt sind. Demonstrierende werden auf Berliner StraĂen von der Polizei brutal zusammengeschlagen, und die liberalen Stimmen, die sonst ihre Bereitschaft, fĂŒr die freie MeinungsĂ€uĂerung zu sterben, laut kundtun, bleiben auf einmal still. Eine unfassbare Entmenschlichung macht sich breit, und diejenigen, die diese kritisieren â darunter nicht wenige Menschen jĂŒdischer Abstammung â werden als Antisemiten diffamiert. Es fĂŒhlt sich nicht selten so an, als wĂŒrde Deutschland eine ParallelrealitĂ€t bewohnen.
Security Council Fails to Adopt Resolution on Gaza Ceasefire
Then, by a vote of 14 in favour to 1 against (United States), with no abstentions, the draft resolution was not adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent Council member. Had it been, the text would have seen the Council demand an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza; the immediate, dignified and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups; and Israelâs immediate, unconditional lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.
âForgive us,â said Algeriaâs delegate after the vote. âForgive us,â he continued, addressing the people of Palestine, âbecause this Council could not save your children â more than 18,000 of them have been killed by Israelâ. âForgive us,â he repeated, noting that more than 12,000 women, more than 4,000 elderly, more than 1,400 doctors and nurses, more than 250 journalists and more than 500 aid workers âhave been killed by Israelâ.

The European Union Is Complicit in Genocide
(August 11, 2025)
The EU presents itself as a global champion of moral and legal leadership, grounded in the principles of human rights, international law, democracy, and humanitarianism. Yet its failure to uphold these values in the case of Palestine severely undermines its credibility. As Israelâs largest trading partner and second-largest arms supplier, the EU possesses considerable leverage; its refusal to use this influence to hold Israel accountable or protect Palestinian lives signals not powerlessness but a conscious choice of complicity. Moreover, given its member statesâ historical entanglement in the colonial partitioning of the Middle East, the EU bears a deeper responsibility to act with justice. Its failure to do so today echoes the very dynamics of domination and double standards it claims to have left behind.
EU-Israel: Refusal to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement is a âcruel and unlawful betrayalâ
(July 15, 2025)
Reacting to the EUâs decision not to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement, AgnĂšs Callamard Amnesty Internationalâs Secretary General said:
âThe EUâs refusal to suspend its agreement with Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal â of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Unionâs own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians.
This will be remembered as one of the most disgraceful moments in the EUâs history.
âBizarre and terrifyingâ: Israeli quadcopters harass and attack Gaza City residents
While sleeping in her home in Gaza City, MF was jolted awake at dawn by an unusual sight: an Israeli armed quadcopter hovering in her room.
Panicked, the 26-year-old Palestinian shut her eyes and forced herself back to sleep.
The next morning, she got up and went to work, wondering whether what she had seen was just a bad dream – a product of the ongoing attacks that had already triggered a psychological breakdown.
But when she returned home, MF, who asked to be identified only by her initials, overheard her father saying he had seen a quadcopter leaving their home earlier that morning.
It was then she realised that what she had witnessed was, in fact, real.
After Gaza Famine Report, U.S. Is Mostly Silent and Israel Is Defiant
A report by a panel of food security experts that found famine in parts of Gaza prompted outrage from many European countries, but not from the United States, Israelâs main backer.
Neither the White House nor the State Department has directly addressed the report, which blamed Israeli restrictions on aid, among other factors, for the famine. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Friday called the report âan outright lie,â saying that Israel had âgone to unprecedented lengths to enable aid to go into enemy territory.â
What is Israelâs âmost moral army in the worldâ doing in Gaza?
âThe dehumanisation of Palestinians is a process that goes back decades,â Grassiani of the University of Amsterdam said. âBut Iâd say itâs now complete.
âWeâve seen incredibly cruel acts from the first day to now, with Israeli soldiers seeking revenge for [the Hamas-led attack of] October 7,â she said.
âItâs like a snowball running down a hill to which thereâs no bottom,â Haim Bresheeth, author of An Army Like No Other, a book about the Israeli military.
âEvery year, the violence is ratcheted up,â he said. âThe idea of using civilians as target practice is the logical outcome.
âItâs a new sport, a blood sport, and these sports always develop from the bottom up,â he said of Israelâs infantry.
âItâs twisted, murderous, and itâs sick.â

(today)
Israelâs Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel can bomb Gaza like the Allies bombed Dresden during World War II.
His remarks were made during an interview with right-wing US network Newsmax on Wednesday.
When asked why the Israeli military does not âwipe Hamas and the Gaza Stripâ off the map, he replied, âWe can bomb them like the Allies [in World War II] bombed Dresden, we could starve them if we followed the vilifications, these false lies that are delivered against Israel, and nobody would be alive already.
US President: Netanyahu used US bombing of Berlin as justification for Gaza genocide
(January 18, 2025)
Biden said that Netanyahu responded to his concerns by saying âYou killed thousands of innocent civilians because you had to in order to win the war.â
This was not the first time the massacres against civilians in the Second World War were used to justify Israeli atrocities in Palestine.
Back in December 2023, pro-Israel American Senator Lindsey Graham also responded to criticisms of Israel‘s killing of Palestinian civilians by saying âDid the American people worry about how many people were dying to destroy Tokyo or Berlin?â
Netanyahu âhas lost his mindâ says New Zealand PM

Netanyahu says backs ‚Greater Israel‘, which includes parts of Jordan and Egypt
Similar views have been echoed by ministers within Netanyahu‘s government.
Last year, in a documentary, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was filmed advocating for the expansion of Israeli borders to include Damascus.
He suggested that Israel would gradually grow to encompass not only all Palestinian territories but also parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
