Tens of Thousands Rally in Havana Against US Aggression as Cuba Prepares Citizens for War

“This new aggression has united us more and elevated the honor, dignity, and anti-imperialist spirit of a people already recognized around the world for their brave resistance to any form of subordination to the empire,” Díaz-Canel said.

Cuban legislator Mariela Castro, Raúl’s granddaughter, told rallygoers that “we are prepared for combat.”

“No one is going to kidnap him. I can assure you of that,” she said, alluding to the US invasion and abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on dubious narco-terrorism charges earlier this year. “Neither him nor anyone else.”

Two former Israeli prime ministers join forces against Netanyahu in upcoming elections

(April 26, 2026)

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid served as prime ministers in a rotation agreement as part of a coalition government they formed in 2021, ending 12 years of Netanyahu’s rule. Now they plan to merge their parties into single faction headed by Bennett, calling it a partnership between the center and the right.

Bennett said if elected, the new government on its first day would establish a state commission of inquiry into the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel that started the war, an issue that has dogged Netanyahu.

There have been calls in Israel for a public inquiry into the failures around the Oct. 7 attack, the deadliest on Israel in its history.

White House Marks Presidents Day With Dark Threat to Trump’s Enemies

The image featured Trump on the cover of Time Magazine, above the words “I was the hunted, and now I’m the hunter” — a phrase he has repeatedly used to describe his second term in office.

“Happy Presidents’ Day, Mr. President,” the post read.

The “hunted/hunter” phrase originates from the president’s efforts to cast his first administration as besieged by critics, media, and political foes—and his second as a time to exact revenge on them.

I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done.

I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!

Déclaration conjointe des dirigeants de la France, du Royaume-Uni et du Canada sur la situation à Gaza et en Cisjordanie.

Israël a subi un attentat atroce le 7 octobre. Nous avons toujours soutenu le droit d‘Israël à défendre les Israéliens contre le terrorisme. Mais cette escalade est totalement disproportionnée.

Nous ne resterons pas les bras croisés pendant que le gouvernement Netanyahou poursuit ces actions scandaleuses. Si Israël ne met pas fin à la nouvelle offensive militaire et ne lève pas ses restrictions sur l‘aide humanitaire, nous prendrons d‘autres mesures concrètes en réponse.

Nous nous opposons à toute tentative d‘expansion des colonies en Cisjordanie. Israël doit mettre fin aux implantations qui sont illégales et compromettent la viabilité d‘un État palestinien ainsi que la sécurité des Israéliens et des Palestiniens.  Nous n‘hésiterons pas à prendre d‘autres mesures, y compris des sanctions ciblées.

(…)

Nous continuerons à travailler avec l‘Autorité palestinienne, les partenaires régionaux, Israël et les États-Unis afin de parvenir à un consensus sur les dispositions à prendre pour l‘avenir de Gaza, en s‘appuyant sur le plan arabe. Nous affirmons le rôle important de la conférence de haut niveau sur la solution à deux États qui se tiendra aux Nations unies en juin pour dégager un consensus international autour de cet objectif. Nous sommes déterminés à reconnaître un État palestinien en tant que contribution à la réalisation d‘une solution à deux États et nous sommes prêts à travailler avec d‘autres à cette fin.

Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

(May 19, 2025)

Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate.

We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.

We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.

(…)

We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel and the United States to finalise consensus on arrangements for Gaza’s future, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the High-level Two-State Solution Conference at the UN in June in building international consensus around this aim. And we are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.

The U.S. Is Trying To Blind Ukraine—By Kicking It Out Of Orbit. It Won’t Work.

Ukraine relied heavily on America’s own large fleet of spacecraft—hundreds of satellites for communication and surveillance—plus commercial space services paid for by the U.S. or other allies.

The satellites helped Ukrainian troops, drones and munitions navigate and communicate, spotted—via radar and camera—Russian forces on the move and traced Russian command networks by detecting their radios.

Is Iran Next?

(January 10, 2025)

Israeli military sources claim that its strikes inside Iran (precipitated by an Iranian missile assault on Israel) dismantled much of its air defense systems. These security officials note that this was a key mission: to eliminate Iran’s air defenses in preparation for a future all-out assault on its nuclear program. The sources estimate it will take a year or more for Iran to repair the current damage and restore its capabilities.

He reminded the attendees that, despite ongoing regional conflicts, the UN has never revisited Israel‘s 1949 admission under Resolution 181.

“Today, the Islamic group and the Arab group are two organisations moving before the international community, and I am confident that there are many countries that will support the idea of freezing membership,” he added expressing optimism that the proposal would garner widespread backing.

He pointed out that Israel‘s initial admission to the UN in 1949 had been under Resolution 181, a decision that many now view as overdue for reconsideration.
