Having lost his parliamentary majority in last month’s elections, and after President Isaac Herzog handed Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot the mandate to form a government, Netanyahu has continued a campaign he pursued throughout the election season to delegitimize the Arab parties and portray them as supporters of terrorism, in an apparent effort to undermine the ability of Eisenkot and his allies to form a government with their backing.

Rente nach 45 Jahren Arbeit endet: Diese Jahrgänge sollten gut aufpassen
Nach § 38 SGB VI haben Versicherte Anspruch auf die Altersrente für besonders langjährig Versicherte, wenn sie das 65. Lebensjahr vollendet und eine Wartezeit von 45 Jahren erreicht haben. Für ältere Geburtsjahrgänge gelten übergangsweise niedrigere Altersgrenzen.
Der Jahrgang 1962 kann diese Rente nach geltendem Recht mit 64 Jahren und acht Monaten erhalten. Beim Jahrgang 1963 sind es 64 Jahre und zehn Monate, während ab dem Jahrgang 1964 das Alter von 65 Jahren gilt.
Die oft verwendete Bezeichnung „Rente mit 63“ führt deshalb inzwischen in die Irre. Tatsächlich konnten nur deutlich ältere Jahrgänge diese Rentenart bereits mit genau 63 Jahren abschlagsfrei beziehen.
Friendship with US is closest of any two nations, Streeting says amid Fairford investigation
Streeting begins by addressing the terror probe related to an incident at RAF Fairford yesterday.
He says he can‘t provide much further detail than that already reported – but talks up the strength of the UK-US alliance.
„Our friendship with America is the closest alliance of any two nations on Earth, and we will always stand together against those who hate our freedom and those who wish us harm,“ he says.
„What we saw yesterday from our security services, our armed forces and our police was just a small glimpse of the extraordinary work they do everyday.“

Counter-terror police investigate Iran link over suspected bomb plot at RAF base used by US

„Sicherheitspaket 2.0“: Sachverständige halten Gesetzentwürfe für verfassungswidrig
Mit Gesichtserkennung im Internet fahnden oder mit Hilfe von Software möglichst große Datenmengen verknüpfen und analysieren. Diese neuen Befugnisse fordert die Bundesregierung in mehreren Gesetzentwürfen für das Bundeskriminalamt und die Bundespolizei. Auch das Bundesamt für Migration soll per Gesichtserkennung Asylsuchende identifizieren dürfen. Die Reformpläne – auch bekannt als “Sicherheitspaket 2.0” – sind heute Thema im Innenausschuss des Bundestages gewesen.
Der Weg dahin war weit. Bereits 2024 hatte die damalige Ampelregierung nach mehreren Terror-Anschlägen ein erstes “Sicherheitspaket” vorgelegt. Es scheiterte im Bundesrat. Bevor ein neuer Anlauf gemacht werden konnte, zerfiel die Koalition aus SPD, FDP und Grünen.
Das war das Ende der Ampel, nicht aber der Ambitionen.
Nach CDU-Wahlniederlagen: Merz „dankbar“, dass SPD in Koalition bleibt
Die CDU hat eine historische Niederlage erlebt. Nun gesteht Kanzler Merz ein, dass die Bundesregierung eine Mitschuld trägt – und auch er selbst. Eine Personalfrage stelle sich jedoch nicht. Merz dankte der SPD, dass sie an der Koalition festhält.

Ist Verfassungsbruch schon Alltagserscheinung in Deutschland?
Hat das Folgen?
Nein, denn wie gesagt, es gibt keinerlei vorgesehene Sanktionen bei Verstoß einer Regierung gegen das Grundgesetz.
Staatsrechtler zur aufgeschobenen Ministervereidigung: „Merz handelt verfassungswidrig“
Es geht hier immerhin um eine der größten Regierungsumbildungen in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Und da soll es für einen Teil der Abgeordneten nicht möglich sein, für einen Tag aus dem Urlaub zurückzukehren? Unabhängig davon ist diese Norm aber schlicht geltendes Verfassungsrecht und an dieses hat man sich zu halten. Ich finde es schon einigermaßen verstörend, dass diese Frage überhaupt aufgeworfen wird. Wir betreten da gefährliches Terrain, wenn wir verfassungsrechtliche Vorgaben aus Opportunität einfach links liegen lassen.
US air base, CENTCOM headquarters in Jordan targeted: IRGC
Tehran, IRNA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says that its Aerospace Force has targeted a US air base and the US military’s CENTCOM headquarters in Jordan with ballistic missiles.

What we know so far about the fatal ICE shooting of a Mexican father in Houston
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said an agent opened fire after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow verbal commands during a a traffic stop that was part of a “targeted operation” Tuesday.
But attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra said three men detained during the operation told him the version of events presented by ICE is false.
“At no point did they use the van to ram into the ICE agents and at no point were these ICE agents’ lives ever in any danger,” Balderas-Ibarra said in a video posted to his Instagram.

US, Israeli assets ‘legitimate targets’ after attack on Beirut: Qalibaf
In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut‘s southern suburbs.
He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.
„They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,“ Qalibaf wrote.
By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.

Report: Israel Pressing the US To Assassinate Iran’s Lead Negotiator
Israel is pressing the US to restart heavy airstrikes on Iran that would involve the targeted killing of Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Tehran’s lead negotiators, and attacks on the country’s oil infrastructure, Capital & Empire reported on Thursday.
The report, which cited US sources familiar with a classified report circulating within the US intelligence community, said Israel is aggressively pushing for the US to abandon talks with Iran and insisting that destroying oil infrastructure in the country could bring about regime change while also downplaying the impact the renewed full-scale war will have on the global economy.

US claim of sinking Iranian boats ‘a lie’, senior military official tells IRIB
Head of CENTCOM Admiral Brad Cooper said earlier on Monday that the US military had destroyed six Iranian small boats and intercepted missiles and drones fired at US warships, as he acknowledged that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had acted to stop Washington’s attempts to break Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Anwältin über Verfassungsschutz: „So schaffen sich Behörden rechtsfreie Räume“
(April 24, 2026)
Voigt: Man musste in der öffentlichen Debatte zuweilen den Eindruck gewinnen, dass diese Zuschreibungen des Verfassungsschutzes unantastbar sind. Dabei sollte man wegen der Grundkonstellation besonders kritisch hinschauen: Der Verfassungsschutz schafft sich durch seine Einstufungen selbst die Grundlage für seine Beobachtungsaktivitäten.
Trump says shooting won‘t ‚deter‘ him from winning Iran war
„It‘s not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran. I don‘t know if that had anything to do with it, I really don‘t think so, based on what we know,“ Trump told reporters in a briefing at the White House after the shocking security incident.
Trump had earlier said, however, that „you never know“ if it could be linked to the Iran war, and said…
Will the war with Iran boost Netanyahu’s prospects at the ballot box?
An Israeli victory in the war against Iran would likely give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a bump in the polls but may not guarantee him a win in the upcoming national elections, in the assessment of several veteran political analysts. But were the regime to fall, it would significantly boost his prospects.
Since the outbreak of the war over the weekend, the opposition has set aside its criticisms and rallied behind the government, which a majority of Israeli Jews have told pollsters they believe can handle the conflict effectively.
