House Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Meeks‘ Floor Debate Remarks on War Powers Resolution to Prohibit Hostilities Against Venezuela

„As I said earlier today on this floor, during the debate on my War Powers Resolution to end this administration’s extrajudicial strikes on boats in the Western Hemisphere, those bombings are not about drugs. If the administration did want to stop drugs, Trump would not have pardoned the former President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, or Ross Ulbricht, who operated the Silk Road drug marketplace. He wouldn’t be seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Or threatening CIA operations, blockades, and ground strikes on Venezuela.

„It’s not about drugs, it’s about regime change, and it’s about oil. That’s not just me saying that. It’s Trump himself saying it. It’s President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who said Trump wants to, and I quote, “keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle.” And it relies on the magical thinking that military force can bring democracy in Venezuela or anywhere else.

„But his chief of staff also conceded, as any reasonable person with any knowledge of the constitution should, that if Trump, quote, “were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.”

„On that, she’s right. Congress would need to pass an Authorization for the Use of Military Force if Trump wanted to put boots on the ground or conduct military strikes on Venezuela. And for that, Republicans in Congress would need to cast their vote on whether to commit U.S. armed forces to an open-ended conflict their constituents certainly do not want.

„Trump ran on ending forever wars, but now he’s forgotten what they are. What his own Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth characterized as, quote, “interventionism, undefined wars, regime change, and feckless nation building.” Yet with Venezuela, Trump is provoking a new war right in our backyard and threatening to destabilize an entire region.

DE Sign in Erika Kirk on Why She Forgave Her Husband‘s Killer | 2025 Dealbook Summit

Erika Kirk’s passionate advocacy for conservative values, alongside her husband Charlie, has long placed her in the public eye. In the wake of tragedy, how does she think about responsibility, resilience — and the work still to come? Watch this conversation about leading through uncertainty and how to turn hardship into purpose.

Erika Kirk Speaks to the Liberal Elite—and Almost Sticks the Landing

Though Kirk has become a national figure since the death of her husband, her selection as the closing speaker at the annual summit for the Times’ business vertical was unexpected. But Sorkin explained the reason for the decision after the two got onstage. About a year ago, he said, he met and befriended Charlie. The two texted and emailed frequently about their political disagreements.

“Charlie Kirk was supposed to be here today. He was supposed to be part of a task force that we had been talking about for quite some time,” Sorkin said. He decided to instead extend the invitation to Erika Kirk after she spoke ahead of President Donald Trump at her husband’s televised memorial service. “I sat and watched the funeral by video, and I watched you, and I sat in awe…when you forgave the assassin…. It was at that moment I said to myself, I need to talk to Erika,” Sorkin explained.

Exclusive: BBC doctored Trump speech, internal report reveals

(November 3, 2025)

The report said Panorama’s “distortion of the day’s events” was so egregious that viewers would ask: “Why should the BBC be trusted, and where will this all end?”

When the issue was raised with managers, they “refused to accept there had been a breach of standards”. The report’s author then warned Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, of the “very, very dangerous precedent” set by Panorama but received no reply.

The internal whistleblower sent a copy of the 19-page letter to every member of the BBC Board last month.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — October 11, 2025: Thousands gathered at a Tel Aviv rally supporting the release of Israeli captives from Gaza, where U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff praised Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Witkoff defended Netanyahu and his negotiator, Ron Dermer, saying both had sacrificed much for Israel and devoted themselves to the country’s service.

Saudi Arabia stands by Qatar against aggression; Crown Prince asserts

„Saudi Arabia rejects and condemns the Israeli aggression against Qatar and would mobilize all its capabilities in supporting the neighboring country,“ he said while inaugurating, on behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the activities of the second year of the 9th session of the Shoura Council in Riyadh on Wednesday. “We reject and condemn the aggressions of the Israeli occupation in the region, most recently its brutal attack on the State of Qatar. This aggression requires Arab, Islamic, and international action to stop the occupation and deter its criminal practices aimed at destabilizing the region,” he said.

EU Commission’s Ribera says Israel’s war on Gaza is genocide

Teresa Ribera, the European Commission’s executive vice president, also said Europe was too divided to do anything about the starvation, displacement and killing of Palestinians.

“The genocide in Gaza exposes Europe’s failure to act and speak with one voice, even as protests spread across European cities and 14 U.N. Security Council members call for an immediate ceasefire,” Ribera told students at Sciences Po in a speech Thursday morning.

Francesca Albanese: A revolutionary shift is underway

I ask you to consider this moment as if we were sitting here in the 1990s, discussing the case of apartheid South Africa. Would you have proposed selective sanctions on SA for its conduct in individual Bantustans? Or would you have recognised the state’s criminal system as a whole? And here, what Israel is doing is worse. This comparison— is a legal and factual assessment supported by international legal proceedings many in this room are part of.

This is what concrete measures mean. Negotiating with Israel on how to manage what remains of Gaza and West Bank, in Brussels or elsewhere, is an utter dishonor international law.

And to the Palestinians and those from all corners of the world standing by them, often at great cost and sacrifice, I say whatever happens, Palestine will have written this tumultuous chapter—not as a footnote in the chronicles of would-be conquerors, but as the newest verse in a centuries-long saga of peoples who have risen against injustice, colonialism, and today more than ever neoliberal tyranny.

Francesca Albanese: Brecht die Beziehungen zu Israel ab

Stellen Sie sich vor, wir säßen hier in den 1990er Jahren und diskutierten den Fall des südafrikanischen Apartheidsystems. Hätten Sie selektive Sanktionen gegen Südafrika für sein Verhalten in einzelnen Bantustans vorgeschlagen? Oder hätten Sie das kriminelle System des Staates als Ganzes anerkannt? Und hier ist das, was Israel tut, noch schlimmer. Dieser Vergleich ist eine rechtliche und faktische Bewertung, die durch internationale Gerichtsverfahren gestützt wird, an denen viele in diesem Saal beteiligt sind.

Das ist es, was konkrete Maßnahmen bedeuten. Mit Israel darüber zu verhandeln, wie das, was von Gaza und dem Westjordanland noch übrig ist, verwaltet werden soll, ob in Brüssel oder anderswo, ist eine absolute Schande für das Völkerrecht.

Und den Palästinenserinnen und Palästinensern und den Menschen aus allen Teilen der Welt, die ihnen – oft unter großen Kosten und Opfern – beistehen, sage ich: Was auch immer geschieht, Palästina wird dieses turbulente Kapitel geschrieben haben – nicht als Fußnote in den Chroniken von Möchtegern-Eroberern, sondern als neueste Strophe in einer jahrhundertelangen Saga von Völkern, die sich gegen Ungerechtigkeit, Kolonialismus und heute mehr denn je gegen neoliberale Tyrannei erhoben haben.

MK Ayman Odeh at Mass Protest in Kfar Sava: We Must End the War on Gaza

MK Ayman Odeh, the Hadash lawmaker facing impeachment proceedings, called for unity and a ceasefire at mass anti-war protest in Kfar Saba, central Israel. “We must reach a comprehensive deal. We must bring back all the hostages. We must end the war on Gaza,” said Odeh, who leads the Hadash-Ta’al faction. “Enough! Enough with the wars!”

In an appeal to the crowd, Odeh said, “I am your partner. And you are my partners. Yes, there are differences, there are disagreements, but I want you to know: I am your partner, because my soul still yearns for freedom. I am your partner, because I still believe in humanity.” Odeh, who was invited to speak by the organizers of the protest, concluded his remarks by calling to continue the demonstrations. “After so much death, suffering, and tears, better days will come. We will bring them,” he told the crowd.

Speech by High Representative/Vice-President Kaja Kallas at the EP Plenary Session, Joint Debate: Situation in the Middle East

Dear President,

Honourable Members,

What was also clear from today’s meeting is that we will not let this new crisis overshadow what is happening in Gaza.

We are now 20 months into a conflict triggered by the horrific attacks of Hamas.

Israel has a right to defend itself. And Hamas should immediately release the remaining hostages. But Israel’s use of force in Gaza, the continuing deaths of civilians, and the targeting of civilian infrastructure go beyond self-defence.

Israel’s actions cannot be justified under humanitarian and international law.

At the last Foreign Affairs Council in May, it was clear that a majority of Member States were in favour of opening a review of Israel’s compliance with Article 2 of our Association Agreement.

Article 2 imposes binding obligations on the parties to observe human rights.

This review is now underway and I will present the outcome to the Foreign Ministers on Monday.

MK Ayman Odeh (Hadash) was forcefully removed from the podium in the Knesset on Wednesday, May 21, after a shouting match with far-right coalition members which he criticized to prolong the Gaza war.
