Verhandlungen zu Chatkontrolle 2.0 in der Zielgeraden
Um diesen langfristigen Ansatz ringt die EU seit geraumer Zeit. Neben einer dauerhaften Regelung fĂŒr das Scannen unverschlĂŒsselter Inhalte sollte der Vorschlag der EU-Kommission auch dafĂŒr sorgen, dass Material vor seiner VerschlĂŒsselung durchleuchtet und gegebenenfalls an Behörden gemeldet wird â eine Technik, die als Client-Side-Scanning bekannt ist.
Vor fast leeren Reihen hielten die Abgeordneten am Mittwoch ihre Reden zu den EntwĂŒrfen.
Previously, the procedure was expected to consist of a two-stage vote in which members would first vote on whether misconduct had occurred and its gravity, with a second vote on removal triggered only if they found „serious misconduct.“
The ASP, which is made up of diplomatic representatives from the international court‘s 125 member states, is due to vote on Khan‘s future at the United Nations‘ headquarters in New York City on 24 July.
It comes after the bureau, a body of diplomats from 21 member states, determined by a two-thirds majority last month that Khan had committed „serious misconduct.“
This was despite a judicial panel, appointed by the bureau to review the findings of a United Nations investigation into complaints against Khan, concluding that the evidence against him was insufficient to establish any level of misconduct.

56. On 24 January 2024, at around 08:30, a family was preparing to evacuate from their ground-floor apartment in a seven-storey building at al-Amal, west of Khan Younis, following receipt of an evacuation order by the Israeli security forces. The father noticed quadcopters hovering over the area and presence of the Israeli security forces about 100 meters east of their house, instructing people to head west to Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis. His 15-year-old son stepped out of the house holding a white cloth, when the father, who was inside the house, heard a gunshot from the eastern side where Israeli soldiers were located. The boy was hit in the left foot, and he fell on his face. As he attempted to stand, two more gunshots were fired within seconds from the same direction. One shot hit the boy on his back and another on the left side of his neck. Seeing this, the boyâs 20-year-old brother ran towards him and was also shot on the left side of his chest. He collapsed on top of his younger brother.
57. The victimsâ mother waved her hands at the south side window to signal for an ambulance when the Israeli security forces fired bullets which hit her too, slightly injuring her in her left hand. The father tried several times to pull away the bodies of both his sons but, every time he tried to advance towards them, the Israeli security forces fired in his direction. He then left the neighbourhood with the rest of his family. In early March 2024, he learned that two days after the incident, an ambulance arrived to retrieve his sonsâ bodies. To date, the family is unaware where the bodies are buried.
58. The Commission assesses that the 15-year-old boy holding the white flag was shot by Israeli soldiers using a DAN.338 calibre bolt-action sniper rifle, commonly used by Israeli snipers, from a position located around 200 metres away. Given that sniper rifles used by the Israeli security forces normally have a precision accuracy range of more than 1,200 metres, the Israeli shooter should have been able to see that the target was a child and that he was holding a white flag. The additional two shots fired after the boy was hit were likely meant to ensure that he was dead. The additional killing of the boyâs brother points to a deliberate effort by the Israeli security forces to target the boy as well as any person that came to retrieve him. The Commission could not find any indication of a threat towards members of the Israeli security forces from the familyâs location. The Commission finds that the Israeli security forcesâ 98th Division were operating in the area at the time of the incident.
Injuring of a 10-day-old baby by quadcopter inside the tent in Nuseirat camp
59. On 12 April 2024 at 13:00, a 10 day-old-baby boy was shot by a quadcopter while being breastfed by his mother inside their tent in Nuseirat camp. The mother was alone in the tent, breastfeeding her baby, when a single bullet from a quadcopter hit the baby in the head and exited through the back of his head, hitting the pillow behind her. The baby survived but sustained brain injuries and now suffers from seizures.
60. The Commission viewed and analysed images of the bullet that hit the baby. The Commission concluded on reasonable grounds that the bullet was fired from a sniper rifle mounted on a quadcopter. Considering that the shooting occurred in broad daylight, the
Commission concludes that the quadcopter controller would have been able to see inside the tent and assesses that the target was a mother and a baby.
Injuring of a four-year-old girl in Khan Younis displacement camp

Press conference with the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel, to launch their latest report.
Description
Speakers:
– Srinivasan Muralidhar, Chair of the Commission
– Florence Mumba, Commissioner
– Chris Sidoti, Commissioner
Last year, the commission concluded that âIsrael had committed genocide against the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip, found that the intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued, resulting in unprecedented death, injury and trauma of Palestinian children.â
Here are some findings in the commissionâs latest report:
– Israel has killed 20,000 children and injured 44,000 more since 7 October 2023
– Severe physical and mental injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood, separation, disability, repeated displacements, starvation and the collapse of education and healthcare have erased childhood and will continue to affect children in Gaza throughout their lives
– Palestinian children have been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, with no information on their whereabouts
– Israeli security forces have used sexual violence against children as part of the collective shaming and oppression, entrenched within a prolonged, ethnic, gendered and intergenerational pattern of occupation and hostilities

Jahrzehntelang belauschten BND und CIA die verschlĂŒsselte Kommunikation von ĂŒber 100 Staaten. Die Operation „Rubikon“ wurde bis heute geheim gehalten. Sie gilt als gröĂter Erfolg des BND.
Opfer des Lauschangriffs waren arabische und sĂŒdamerikanische LĂ€nder, aber auch NATO-Partner. Sie vertrauten der Krypto-Technik eines schweizerischen Herstellers â und wurden betrogen. Welche politischen Folgen hatte das jahrelange Mitlesen geheimer Nachrichten?
Politische Handlungen durch Rubikon
Die „Rubikon“-Papiere belegen erstmals, dass BND und CIA zum Beispiel frĂŒhzeitig ĂŒber den Sturz des chilenischen PrĂ€sidenten Allende 1973 und die schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch die argentinische MilitĂ€rjunta informiert waren. Politische Folgen, etwa in Form von Protesten der Bundesregierung, hatte das nicht.
Auch im Falklandkrieg kamen die fĂŒr den Sieg der Briten notwendigen Informationen aus der Operation „Rubikon“: Der BND konnte den militĂ€rischen Funkverkehr der Argentinier entschlĂŒsseln. Das britische MilitĂ€r war so ĂŒber die Bewegungen der argentinischen StreitkrĂ€fte informiert. Einer der klar belegbaren FĂ€lle, in denen „Rubikon“ konkrete – und blutige – Konsequenzen hatte.
KĂŒhn und skandaltrĂ€chtig
Einer der gröĂten Abnehmer fĂŒr die manipulierten schweizerischen VerschlĂŒsselungsgerĂ€te war der Iran. Jahrzehntelang waren Deutsche und Amerikaner deshalb bestens ĂŒber die geheimen Regierungskommunikationen des Ajatollah-Regimes informiert und nutzten diese Kenntnisse zum Beispiel in der GeiselaffĂ€re, um die US-Botschaftsangehörigen freizubekommen.
Geheimdienstexperte Prof. Richard Aldrich wertete die dem ZDF exklusiv vorliegenden geheimen Akten aus. Sein Fazit: „Die Operation Rubikon war eine der kĂŒhnsten und auch skandaltrĂ€chtigsten Operationen, denn ĂŒber hundert Staaten zahlten Milliarden Dollar dafĂŒr, dass ihnen ihre Staatsgeheimnisse gestohlen wurden.“
Der Dokumentation liegen langjĂ€hrige Recherchen von ZDFinfo, „Frontal 21“, der „Washington Post“ und der „Rundschau“ des Schweizer Fernsehens SRG zugrunde.

Die CIA und der BND spionierten mit manipulierten ChiffriergerÀten der Schweizer Firma Crypto AG jahrzehntelang mehr als 100 Staaten aus, darunter auch befreundete LÀnder. Dies belegen Recherchen von SRF Rundschau, ZDF und Washington Post.
m Zentrum steht ein Aktenordner mit explosivem Inhalt: 280 Seiten, bisher unbekannte Papiere der Geheimdienste CIA und BND. Sie belegen eine weltweite Geheimdienstoperation. Die geleakten Papiere werfen ein höchst fragwĂŒrdiges Licht auf die Schweiz und auf das Zuger Unternehmen Crypto AG, eine Firma fĂŒr VerschlĂŒsselungstechnik.
Ăber manipulierte Chiffriermaschinen der ehemaligen VerschlĂŒsselungsfirma horchten die Geheimdienste CIA und BND jahrzehntelang ĂŒber hundert Staaten ab. Im Nahen Osten, in Asien, in SĂŒdamerika und auch in Europa wurde die geheime Kommunikation befreundeter und feindlicher Staaten abgefangen und ausgewertet. Alle abgehörten LĂ€nder hatten ihre Crypto-Chiffriermaschinen im guten Glauben in der neutralen Schweiz gekauft.
Welche Folgen hatte die Ăberwachungsoperation auf die internationale Politik der Nachkriegszeit? Wie gingen die Geheimdienstleute der CIA und des BND vor? Wie wurden die Schweizer ChiffriergerĂ€te manipuliert? Was wussten die Schweizer Behörden? Und was bedeutet dieser Skandal fĂŒr die Schweizer NeutralitĂ€t?

Sowohl Verkehrsdaten als auch Inhalte von massenhaft abgegriffener Kommunikation soll der Geheimdienst bis zu einem halben Jahr speichern und durchforsten dĂŒrfen. Am deutschen Internetknoten DE-CIX in Frankfurt/Main dĂŒrfte der BND neben dem eingehenden nun auch den ausgehenden Datenverkehr ĂŒberwachen.
Das geplante neue Gesetz soll aber auch ganz andere TĂŒren öffnen, die den Geheimen aktives Hacken und Sabotage erlauben wĂŒrden. Der Geheimdienst dĂŒrfte dann in Netzwerke eindringen und sich an aktiven Hacking-Angriffen beteiligen, wenn nach BND-Anfrage nicht freiwillig kooperiert wird. Um Staatstrojaner auf informationstechnischen Systemen aufzubringen, sollen BND-Leute laut FAZ auch heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen dĂŒrfen.
The memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States has now been formally signed by the presidents of both countries, with the text finalized and the agreement officially in effect, Iran‘s Foreign Ministry spokesman announced on Wednesday.
The source added that Qatari mediators had departed Tehran after â17 hours of intensive negotiationsâ, which began on Sunday and culminated in an agreement.

Die CTG wiederum hat der informelle „Berner Club“ ins Leben gerufen, den 1971 Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, GroĂbritannien, Belgien, die Niederlande, Luxemburg, DĂ€nemark und die Schweiz gegrĂŒndet haben sollen. Obwohl dieses Geheimdienstforum einen Wikipedia-Eintrag hat, will sich die Bundesregierung dazu ĂŒberhaupt nicht Ă€uĂern.
Der entsprechende Frageteil könne „aus GrĂŒnden des Staatswohls nicht  auch nicht in eingestufter Form -“ beantwortet werden, schreibt das Innenressort.
(05.03.2020)
Das Bundesamt fĂŒr Verfassungsschutz arbeitet im âBerner Clubâ mit den Auslandsgeheimdiensten Mossad und CIA zusammen. Mit weiteren Behörden tauscht der deutsche Inlandsgeheimdienst Informationen zu ânicht-islamistischem Terrorismusâ sowie âRechts- und Linksextremismusâ. Wegen des âStaatswohlsâ hielt die Bundesregierung diese Details bislang geheim.

Operation Rubicon was a joint covert operation carried out by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) during the Cold War. The operation involved the acquisition and operation of a Swiss company called Crypto AG, which was a leading manufacturer of encryption machines used by governments, militaries, and intelligence agencies around the world.
Under Operation Rubicon, the CIA and BND secretly purchased Crypto AG and then modified the encryption machines to allow the intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments and intelligence services that used the machines. The operation reportedly began in the 1950s and continued until the early 2000s.
The operation was considered one of the most successful and longest-running espionage operations of the Cold War, allowing the CIA and BND to intercept and decipher sensitive communications from numerous countries, including Iran, Argentina, and Libya. However, the operation was eventually exposed in 2020 through investigative reporting by several news organizations, leading to widespread criticism of the intelligence agencies involved and calls for greater transparency and accountability in intelligence operations.

Kuwait International Airport says it has resumed Kuwait Airways flights from Terminal 4 after suspending them following Iranâs drone and missile strikes.
The move comes âfollowing the completion of the technical teams and competent authoritiesâ assessment of the damages and taking the necessary measures to ensure the safety of operational processesâ, the official Kuna news agency reported.
Am 28./29. Mai 2026 schlug eine Drohne in ein WohngebĂ€ude in GalaÈi ein, nahe der ukrainischen Grenze. Es gab Verletzte, aber keine Toten. Statt besonnener AufklĂ€rung folgte der ĂŒbliche Reflex: Sofortige Schuldzuweisung an Russland, Forderungen nach NATO-Artikel 4 oder gar 5 und diplomatische MaĂnahmen wie die SchlieĂung des russischen Konsulats in ConstanÈa. Der rumĂ€nische PrĂ€sident NicuÈor Dan hat nun jedoch unmissverstĂ€ndlich erklĂ€rt: Russland hatte keine Absicht, RumĂ€nien anzugreifen. Die Drohne war offenbar auf dem Weg zu einem ukrainischen Ziel (Hafen Reni) und wurde durch ukrainische elektronische KriegsfĂŒhrung abgelenkt.

We call on the Government of Israel to …
– U.S. reportedly knew of at least one Israeli base since June 2025 but likely withheld information from Iraq.
– Iraq was compelled to shut down its radar to protect U.S. aircraft during both the 12-day war and the 2026 conflict.
– The concealment of Israeli operations intensified scrutiny over Iraqâs sovereignty and coalition transparency.
– Iraqi political figures called for full transparency and stronger oversight mechanisms to prevent foreign intrusion.
Iraqi air defense systems detected no trace of the three drones that struck Saudi facilities, the Foreign Ministry said Monday, announcing an investigation into how the aircraft crossed Iraqi territory undetected.
The ministry called on Riyadh to share relevant intelligence to help establish what happened, while reaffirming Baghdad‘s rejection of any threat to Saudi security or sovereignty.
In a deeply embarrassing development for Baghdad, Israel established two forward-operating bases (FOBs) for supporting air campaigns against Iran on federal Iraqi territory in a flagrant violation of Iraqâs already fragile sovereignty.
The Wall Street Journal reported the first baseâs existence, in the barren Nukhaib desert southwest of the Shia shrine cities of Najaf and Karbala, on 9 May. The New York Times further revealed Sunday that Israel also set up a second base somewhere else in the countryâs western desert regions that it operated for over a year and even used during the June 2025 12-day war.
