Israel said it would also refuse entry to Mathilde Panot, the parliamentary group chair of Mélenchon‘s France Unbowed party.
The announcement comes a day after France confirmed it had refused entry to the head of a body representing settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Mélenchon also promised to intervene on the Palestinians’ behalf, using his own characterizations of events in the occupied territories.
“Nous agirons frontalement au secours des Palestiniens, à la fois contre le génocide à Gaza et contre l’annexion progressive de la Cisjordanie,” his post read. That translates as: “We will act directly to come to the aid of the Palestinians, against both the genocide in Gaza and the progressive annexation of the West Bank.”

The position of the Joint List
These are times that call for a stand to oust Netanyahu and his fascist allies. Therefore, despite the incitement and the racism, the Joint List recommended Eisenkot to the Israeli president for the latter do not have any excuse of calling for a unity government, and as a fulfillment of the will of over 500,000 Arab Palestinian and Jewish voters who wish to see Netanyahu ousted.
According to CPI and Hadash, toppling this government is a historic task. The danger posed by the Netanyahu-Ben-Gvir-Smotrich government goes beyond discrimination, home demolitions and the spread of crime and racism afflicting our communities. It is a government of war, extermination and displacement in Gaza, of deepening occupation and settlement, of unchecked settler terror in the West Bank, and of a drive to liquidate the Palestinian cause. Its continuation threatens the whole region, and the presence of President Trump in the White House raises the danger further by offering cover for war, annexation and displacement. Hence, the results of the midterm elections in the US could hold positive prospectives regarding an alternation in US foreign policy especially in matters of supporting Israel’s continuous violations of international law in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the region.

WE DECLARE that, with effect from the moment of the termination of the Mandate being tonight, the eve of Sabbath, the 6th Iyar, 5708 (15th May, 1948), until the establishment of the elected, regular authorities of the State in accordance with the Constitution which shall be adopted by the Elected Constituent Assembly not later than the 1st October 1948, the People‘s Council shall act as a Provisional Council of State, and its executive organ, the People‘s Administration, shall be the Provisional Government of the Jewish State, to be called „Israel“.

Let’s just keep it to things that have happened roughly this past week; otherwise this piece could end up being the length of a medium-sized book.
There was the incident where illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank — who are financed, armed, enabled, and otherwise supported in every possible way by the Israeli government — viciously attacked a Washington Post photojournalist, breaking her ribs and fracturing her vertebrae, and a day later attacked a group of European diplomats from Belgium, France, and Poland (countries that, unlike Israel, actually are US treaty allies).
The reaction was, well, muted.
Angela Gonzales-Torres is a lifelong Angeleno, the daughter of a deportee, and an equity and justice advocate. Her path from community organizer to congressional candidate reflects a strong commitment to uplifting immigrant and working families like her own.
DSA’s choice in a high-profile California congressional race hopes to build internationalism — understood as “solidarity between working people across borders” — into her service in the U.S. House, should she be elected in November.
Los Angeles DSA and DSA National have endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in her race to represent California’s 34th congressional district. The run-off election against embattled incumbent U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez will be one of the highest-profile DSA challenges on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election. Due to California’s jungle primary system, both candidates in the general will appear on the Democratic ballot line.
In the current political environment, I’m struggling with an extreme case of what psychologists call “cognitive dissonance.” Put simply, half of me is praying for a Democratic takeover of the House and Senate; and the other half is suffering fitful sleeplessness that the Democratic Socialist Alliance (DSA) and its fellow travelers may become the dominant voice in my once beloved Party.
Israel’s October 27 election could reshape the country’s political landscape, but neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s allies nor the opposition has a clear path to a governing majority. The outcome of the vote could determine not only who leads Israel, but how the country contends with various domestic and foreign policy concerns.

After three years in which the scale of destruction in Gaza has remained largely hidden from the Israeli public, the Joint List has dedicated its election campaign ad to showing the reality that has been kept off Israeli screens. The ad was also aired on Israel television.

It is a strategy that the party is likely to repeat in the next Congress to secure Israeli interests while appearing to acknowledge voters’ demands.
Furthermore, the Democratic establishment has shown little interest in breaking its dependence on AIPAC. In April, the Democratic National Committee rejected even a symbolic resolution condemning the lobby’s interference in Democratic primaries.
“Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition,” writes Trump, “including that coming from even Israel, itself.”
Trump says Netanyahu has “endured and, in fact, he has thrived!”
“I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times,” writes Trump. “Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure — But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today. This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much.”

Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the president’s party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.

If Democrats manage to take back the House and Senate in November despite an inhospitable electoral map, the Trump effect on gas prices may well be the reason.
They are eager to change the government
Israel’s relationships across Africa are shaped by competing priorities. While the Gaza war has intensified diplomatic pressure and public opposition in many countries, security needs, commercial interests and longstanding bilateral partnerships continue to influence government decisions.

Israeli voters head to the polls on October 27, and the stakes are exceptionally high.

Hadash Party and Joint List chairman Prof. Yousef Jabareen has declared four central demands from the heads of the anti-Netanyahu bloc parties as a condition for negotiating support for an alternative government after the elections.
Among the demands: a plan to combat crime in the Arab sector, the development of Arab communities, a plan for young people, and a diplomatic horizon for establishing a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.
Bring the World Along
• International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.
• No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.
Safeguards Everyone Can Count On
• Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.
• Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.
• Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.
• Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.
• Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the Court from doing what it was created to do. It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.
The designation is aimed at disrupting the Court’s operations and at intimidating those who work for or cooperate with the Court. The Court, for its part, will not be deterred. “The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes” said ICC President Tomoko Akane.
Wir werden Transaktionen mit diesem Schurkengericht verbieten, seine Ressourcen beschneiden und seine Arbeit lahmlegen«, hieß es weiter. Washington stößt sich insbesondere an den im vergangenen Jahr erlassenen Haftbefehlen des Gerichts gegen israelische Regierungsvertreter, darunter Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu. Zudem ermittelte der IStGH zu mutmaßlichen Kriegsverbrechen von US-Soldaten in Afghanistan, stellte das Vorhaben jedoch nach eigenen Angaben inzwischen zurück.
Following the announcement, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, was interviewed by freelance journalist Stig Arild Pettersen about the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge who oversaw a UN report that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday „for her efforts to promote peace and international law“.
