Outrageous suspension of numerous aid agencies from Gaza
Delivered by
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk
At
Geneva
Israel’s suspension of numerous aid agencies from Gaza is outrageous.
This is the latest in a pattern of unlawful restrictions on humanitarian access, including Israel’s ban on UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East), as well as attacks on Israeli and Palestinian NGOs amid broader access issues faced by the UN and other humanitarians.
I urge all States, in particular those with influence, to take urgent steps and insist that Israel immediately allows aid to get into Gaza unhindered. Such arbitrary suspensions make an already intolerable situation even worse for the people of Gaza.
Israel’s NGO ban sets ‘dangerous precedent’ for humanitarian work: UNRWA
Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, says Israel’s suspension of 37 aid organisations in Gaza shows “a troubling pattern of disregard for international humanitarian law”.
“This is a dangerous precedent,” Lazzarini wrote on social media platform X…..
Israel announces shock move to ban dozens of aid organizations from Gaza
Israel has singled out international medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF), alleging that it had two employees who were members of Palestinian militant groups Islamic Jihad and Hamas
Israel to ban 37 aid groups operating in Gaza
„They refuse to provide lists of their Palestinian employees because they know, just as we know, that some of them are involved in terrorism or linked to Hamas,“ spokesman for the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Gilad Zwick told AFP, naming 37 NGOs that had so far failed to meet the new requirements
Alle wissen, wie der Krieg gegen die Ukraine beendet werden kann
(March 5, 2022)
Dazu ein paar Klarstellungen, weder kurz, noch schmerzlos.
Ich spare mir zu Anfang die Erklärungen und setze diese unter die konkreten kurzfristigen und langfristigen Maßnahmen und Bedingungen, mit denen zunächst der Angriffskrieg der russischen Regierung unter Kommando Präsident Putins gegen die Ukraine und dann langfristig der Krieg in der Ukraine insgesamt beendet werden kann.
Die Maßnahmen bzw Bedingungen für und in der Ukraine.
– Neutralität, also weder Mitgliedschaft im Nordatlantikpakt N.A.T.O., noch in der Europäischen Union. Modell ähnlich wie Yugoslawien und Finnland nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
– bestimmt nicht demilitarisiert, sondern bis an die Zähne bewaffnet, allerdings ohne Atomzähne jedweder Art, weder Entwicklung noch Stationierung
– nach Wahl der ukrainischen Regierungen bzw Parlamentsmehrheiten jeweils Handelspakte und Waffenlieferungen mit bzw durch E.U. und N.A.T.O., ähnlich wie mit der Schweiz oder Schweden.
(…)
Was eine (weitere) verantwortliche, eine rationale, eine solidarische Maßnahme aus dem Weißen Haus wäre, ähnlich wie die Zurückhaltung was die Provokationen aus dem Kreml angeht: von sich aus auf eine N.A.T.O.-Mitgliedschaft der Ukraine zu verzichten. Neben der Lieferung von Defensivwaffen gäbe es nichts Besseres, was „der Westen“ derzeit für die Ukraine tun kann. Man könnte vielleicht auch verkünden, man habe sich in den letzten 30 Jahren mit der N.A.T.O. genug gedehnt. Und zwanzig Jahre lang genug ruhmreichen Terrorkrieg geführt. Ein paar Millionen Tote würden nun reichen.
Zelenskiy discusses US troop presence in Ukraine with Trump
Zelenskiy said in his WhatsApp chat that a U.S. troop presence in Ukraine would be a major security boost for Kyiv.
„Of course, we are discussing this with President Trump and with representatives of the (Western) coalition (supporting Kyiv). We want this. We would like this. This would be a strong position of the security guarantees,“ he said.
The White House had no comment on the issue of dispatching U.S. troops to Ukraine under any peace settlement with Russia.
Moldovan president says Russia sabotages peace talks in Ukraine, while bombarding civilians
Russia is sabotaging peace talks in Ukraine with false claims, while bombing civilians, leaving them without electricity and heating. This is not the behavior of a country seeking peace. President Maia Sandu has conveyed a message to this effect.
The head of state said that Ukraine continued to defend itself and seek peace.
False statements from Russia raise doubts about its commitment to peace talks – President of Moldova
Moldovan President Maia Sandu stressed that it was the Russian Federation that attacked Ukraine and is sabotaging peace talks, while Ukrainians are participating in the peace plan developed under the mediation of the United States.
„Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine defends itself and seeks peace, engaging in good faith in a US-brokered peace plan. Russia sabotages peace talks with false claims while bombing civilians, leaving them without power and heat. This is not the behavior of a country that seeks peace,“ she wrote on the social network X.

UAE says it will withdraw its remaining forces in Yemen after Saudi Arabia struck port city
Saudi Arabia accused the UAE, its close ally, of “highly dangerous” actions in Yemen that threatened its national security. It said it had launched “limited” airstrikes on Mukalla on Tuesday morning and backed a call for UAE forces to leave Yemen within 24 hours.
The UAE initially rejected the accusations and expressed surprise at the strikes, but the country’s defense ministry later announced that, “in view of recent developments,” it would voluntarily withdraw the remaining “counterterrorism” units it had in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia bombs Yemen port city over weapons shipment from UAE for separatists
The bombing followed tensions over the advance of Emirates-backed separatist forces known as the Southern Transitional Council. The council and its allies issued a statement supporting the UAE’s presence, even as others allied with Saudi Arabia demanded that Emirati forces withdraw from Yemen in 24 hours’ time.
The UAE called for “restraint and wisdom” and disputed Riyadh’s allegations. But shortly after that, it said it would withdraw its remaining troops in Yemen.
Zelensky calls out India, UAE over their support of Putin‘s ‚assassination attempt‘ claim
President Volodymyr Zelensky on Dec. 30 called out India, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries that condemned the so-called „Ukrainian assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin“ while largely turning a blind eye to Russian mass attacks on Ukrainian cities.
„It is confusing and unpleasant that some countries, like India, the UAE, and a few others, condemned what they claim were our drone strikes on Putin’s residence — which didn’t even happen,“ Zelensky said during an online press conference with Ukrainian journalists.
„Where is their condemnation of the fact that our children are being bombed and people are being killed all this time? I don’t hear India, frankly, nor the United Arab Emirates.“
Trump, Netanyahu meet over ceasefire. And, Russia accuses Ukraine of attempted strike
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Trump yesterday in Mar-a-Lago to discuss how the Gaza ceasefire plan will move into the next phase. (…)
Trump said he was angry yesterday after Putin informed him about the alleged attack. Trump also acknowledged that no one has independently confirmed the incident.
Trump claims Herzog told him Netanyahu pardon ‘on its way’; Israeli president denies it
Speaking during his meeting in Florida with Netanyahu, Trump said he believed a pardon was on the way: “How can you not?” he said. “He’s a wartime prime minister who’s a hero. How do you not give a pardon?”
(…)
“There has not been a conversation between President Herzog and President Trump since the pardon request was submitted,” Herzog’s office said in a statement issued just a few minutes after Trump’s comments.
Tim Walz pushes back on Minnesota fraud allegations following viral daycare video
„The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,“ the spokesperson said. „He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.“
The spokesperson added that Walz has „hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.“
How a viral video prompted investigations into alleged fraud at day care centers in Minnesota
(December 30, 2025)
In addition to the DHS investigations, state officials also visited some of the sites on Monday. (…)
CBS News visited and called several of the day care centers on Monday but received no responses.
Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
(December 26, 2025)
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
At my direction, @USTreasury is investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.
(December 1, 2025)
Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, we are acting fast to ensure Americans’ taxes are not funding acts of global terror.
We will share our findings as our investigation continues.
“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”
(November 19, 2025)
Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.
In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”
It’s a classic trick of liars and crooks — and it’s shaping Israel’s response to war and disaster
A real inquiry would likely deliver harsh conclusions about Netanyahu’s misguided strategy of coddling Hamas; his failure to heed intelligence before Oct. 7; the staggering human cost of the war that followed; the failure to dismantle Hamas despite two years of brutal fighting; Israel’s growing international isolation; and Netanyahu’s repeated rejection of diplomatic exit ramps.
It is obvious that a commission dealing with such explosive matters must not be controlled by the very people it will judge. Yet that is exactly the system Netanyahu has engineered, while arguing that a state inquiry would be stacked against him. Most Israelis see the attempted whitewash clearly, and some three quarters of the public have consistently said they want a state commission.
Ex-aide says Netanyahu ordered him to help evade public responsibility for the October 7 attack
(December 26, 2025)
Speaking to Kan, Feldstein said, “the first task” he received from Netanyahu after October 7, 2023, was to stifle calls for accountability.
“He asked me, ‘What are they talking about in the news? Are they still talking about responsibility?‘” Feldstein said. “He wanted me to think of something that could be said that would offset the media storm surrounding the question of whether the prime minister had taken responsibility or not.”
He added that Netanyahu looked “panicked” when he made the request. Feldstein said he was later told by people in Netanyahu’s close circle to omit the word “responsibility” from all statements.
Takeaways from Trump and Netanyahu’s meeting in Florida
Trump at the outset of the session told reporters that he planned to speak with Netanyahu about “five major subjects,” later suggesting that they’d come close to settling three of them within the first five minutes of their session.
In addition to Gaza, Trump indicated plans to address issues in the occupied West Bank and potential threats posed by Iran.
But more than an hour later, the two emerged with no new milestones to announce.

Coalition calls for Qatargate consequences mount; poll finds 50% say allegations are treason
(today)
Over the past week, at least four ministers have spoken out about the scandal, in which close Netanyahu aide Jonathan Urich and his former spokesperson, Eli Feldstein, are accused of working as lobbyists for Qatar while simultaneously being employed in the Prime Minister’s Office. The allegation is particularly explosive because Hamas’s leadership is based in Qatar and the Gulf state has acted as a mediator in the Gaza war and the current ceasefire.
Netanyahu’s ex-aide says PM was ‘behind’ leak of intel to Bild and lied about it later
(December 24, 2025)
“[Netanyahu] is the one who ultimately was behind the leak,” Feldstein said emphatically, adding that he told interrogators the same thing repeatedly after his arrest and eventual indictment over the matter.
The document in question was an internal Hamas memo purporting to show that the terror group wasn’t interested in the compromises necessary to reach a hostage deal. After it was leaked to the Bild, Netanyahu used it to argue that only further military pressure would lead to the release of the hostages.
Meine Interpretation dieser Republik: Ein Haufen Schwachsinniger, Lügner und Feiglinge

Ich lebe in einem Land ohne Verteidigung. Weder verteidigt es einen einzigen seiner Menschen, noch sich selbst. Dieses Land ist ein Land der Opfer und der Untertanen. Und als Ausgleich wird ihm regelmäßig irgendetwas gegeben, woran es sich abreagieren kann. Irgendein Nächstschwächerer. Oder so ein Nörgler, wie ich zum Beispiel.

Two scandals, one office: Qatar messages, Germany leak and ongoing probes
(December 26, 2025)
The affair surrounding the leak of classified documents to the German newspaper Bild and the so-called Qatargate scandal have returned to the headlines in recent days.
Eli Feldstein, former military spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is charged in the first case and implicated in the second, claimed this week that Netanyahu “knew about and backed the leak.” At the same time, correspondence between Feldstein and Yisrael Einhorn, a former close adviser to the prime minister, was revealed, showing efforts to promote pro-Qatar messaging in Israel.
