Support for Israel is set to become a virtual purity test for Telegraph journalists after the newspaper’s takeover by German media giant Axel Springer, whose chief executive, Mathias Döpfner, has reportedly described his political credo as “Zionism above all”.
The acquisition, cleared by UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, puts one of Britain’s most influential newspapers under the control of a company that formally lists support for Israel as one of its core institutional values. … Full article

An Israeli rights group has reported a sharp rise in settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, saying attacks are taking place under clear government cover.
The organisation Yesh Din said it had documented 378 violent incidents carried out by settlers over just 40 days during the war with Iran— an average of ten incidents of settler violence took place per day. The attacks targeted Palestinians and their property across the territory.
According to the group, the incidents occurred in 148 Palestinian villages and towns across the West Bank.
It added that eight Palestinians were killed by settler gunfire during that period, while around 200 others were injured. Cases of arson targeting property were also recorded.
Yesh Din, which monitors settler violence and opposes settlement expansion, said on X: “Israel can stop settler violence if it chooses to. Instead, government policy encourages criminal settlers and fuels the spread of violent farm outposts across the West Bank,” referring to a tactic used by settlement activists to establish farming outposts aimed at forcing Palestinians from their homes.
The organisation said that “the map of Palestinian communities affected by settler violence under the cover of war clearly illustrates the objective of this state-backed violence: the displacement of Palestinians from their land and their confinement to small, densely-populated enclaves.”

Shortly after midnight, a group of fanatic illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded the village of Harmala, southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, and assaulted Palestinian residents, injuring two.
According to local media sources, the colonizers drove through the village and hurled stones at a Palestinian vehicle before attacking residents with knives. Two Palestinians sustained wounds during the assault.
Palestinian medics rushed to the area and transferred the injured residents to a hospital in Bethlehem, where their wounds were described as stable.
Residents of Harmala told reporters that colonizer attacks have intensified in recent weeks, particularly in rural areas east and southeast of Bethlehem, where colonizers have been attempting to expand outposts and restrict Palestinian movement.
On the same day, Israeli colonizers carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Palestinian civilians and property across the southern Hebron area, Ramallah district, and Nablus region, injuring residents, damaging vehicles, stealing livestock, and attempting to invade homes under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
Human rights groups have repeatedly warned that these coordinated assaults—often carried out under the protection of Israeli occupation forces—aim to pressure Palestinian communities to abandon their lands.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas condemned statements by the US Vice President J.D. Vance claiming that aid entering Gaza is at its highest level in five years, describing the remarks as “misleading and far removed from reality.”
In a statement issued Wednesday, Hamas said the claims represent an attempt to distort facts and obscure the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
The movement stated that conditions on the ground contradict such assertions, pointing to Israel’s ongoing policies of “engineering starvation,” alongside strict restrictions on the entry of aid and disruption of essential supplies.
It added that Israeli authorities have not implemented the terms of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, maintaining a blockade that leaves residents in “life under duress.”
Hamas said the situation has led to severe shortages of basic goods, including food, medicine, and fuel, citing reports by human rights organizations and international bodies.
The statement also noted that continued targeting of infrastructure is further worsening humanitarian conditions, contributing to what it described as an unprecedented level of crisis in the Gaza Strip.

A new report by the Lebanese daily Al Akhbar has ignited a firestorm of controversy by reporting that the transfer was carried out under the cover of the US Israeli aggression against Iran, which began on February 28.
According to the report, Nickolay Mladenov, the High Representative of the so-called “Peace Council” – a body established by the US administration – has informed the administrative committee managing the Gaza Strip that the dedicated fund is now completely empty.
The money, which was intended to support the Council and finance the reconstruction of Gaza, has been transferred to the Israeli side.
Citing informed sources, Al Akhbar reports that during a January conference in Davos, the head of the committee, Ali Shaath, received pledges of financial aid for approximately 350,000 families. … Full article

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir approved the return of five Unit 100 soldiers charged with the rape and torture of a Palestinian detainee at Sde Teiman prison to active military service, even though investigations into their crimes remain incomplete, Haaretz reported on April 16.
The decision allows reservists implicated in the assault to resume service while the military says its internal inquiry “will be completed soon,” adding that “the investigation does not prevent them from serving in the reserves.”
The case centers on five soldiers who were charged in February 2025 with raping a Palestinian detainee in Sde Taiman prison in July 2024.
The soldiers beat the detainee, dragged him across the ground, stepped on his body, and used a taser against him, including to the head. One soldier stabbed him in the anus, causing a tear in the rectal wall.
The detainee was hospitalized with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and severe internal injuries.
Professor Yoel Donchin, a medical officer who treated the detainee, described the injuries in blunt terms, saying, “He arrived, and we saw he had a stab wound in the anus,” adding, “I saw a wounded man who had been abused and beaten severely.”
Surveillance footage later showed detainees bound and blindfolded, while a group of Israeli soldiers isolated one individual and attempted to shield their acts from the CCTV camera pointed directly at them.
Despite the footage and medical records, the charges were later dropped after Israeli Chief Military Prosecutor Itai Ofir ordered the indictment withdrawn last month, citing “complexity regarding the existing evidentiary infrastructure,” with no command-level investigation completed since.
Israel’s defense minister later apologized to the soldiers, described their prosecution as an “injustice,” and moved to reinstate them.
The case comes amid a growing body of testimonies and investigations pointing to widespread torture and systematic sexual violence embedded within Israeli prisons.
A new report compiled by Euro-Med Monitor, based on testimonies from former Palestinian detainees, describes an “organized state policy” of sexual violence inside Israeli prisons, with abuse carried out systematically and under official cover. … Full article

GAZA – Two civilians, including a child, were killed on Thursday evening by Israeli gunfire in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, and in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The PIC correspondent confirmed that the 9-year-old Saleh Badawi was killed and others were injured after being shot at on Kashko Street in the Zeitoun neighborhood.
In Khan Yunis, Mohsen Ouda Mohsen al-Dabbari, 38, was killed after being shot by Israeli forces in the Ard al-Limoun area, south of the city.
Earlier in the day, Rizq al-Malahi, 33, died from wounds he had sustained in an Israeli strike targeting a police vehicle on al-Nafaq Street in Gaza City a few days earlier.
This comes amid ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, with the number of casualties since it took effect in October 2025 reaching approximately 770 killed and 2,150 injured.

Israeli military vehicles continued firing across several areas of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, in ongoing field violations of the “ceasefire” agreement. Medical sources confirmed that two Palestinian brothers were killed in the northern Gaza Strip after an Israeli drone targeted an area near Abu Tammam School in the city of Beit Lahia.
The two brothers, Abdul-Malek Al-Attar and Abdul-Sattar Al-Attar, were transferred to the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.
Their deaths occurred amid a series of Israeli attacks that struck areas surrounding shelters and tents housing displaced families near Abu Tammam School in Beit Lahia, causing additional injuries among Palestinians.
In the central Gaza Strip, four Palestinians were injured when Israeli military vehicles opened fire along Salahuddin Street. Israeli forces also targeted several other locations across the Gaza Strip, contributing to a widening pattern of ceasefire violations.
Eastern areas of the Gaza Strip were subjected to heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles and tanks, alongside ongoing artillery shelling in multiple locations.
Similar attacks were reported in the eastern and southern parts of Khan Younis, where residents described sustained gunfire accompanied by repeated artillery strikes.
In Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelled the eastern neighborhoods, while additional strikes targeted areas east of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
The attacks coincided with large-scale demolitions carried out by Israeli forces in the Tuffah neighborhood east of the city.
Israeli military vehicles positioned near the perimeter fence also continued firing toward eastern and northern Gaza City, alongside intermittent artillery fire, while drones flew at low altitude over several neighborhoods. … Full article

The Israeli occupation has approved a new settlement expansion plan in the occupied Syrian Golan, with an estimated cost of nearly one billion shekels, aiming to significantly increase the settler population and consolidate control over the territory.
The plan includes the absorption of thousands of new settlers and the transformation of the settlement of Katzrin into what officials described as the “first city” in the occupied region.
According to Israeli minister Ze’ev Elkin, approximately 700 million shekels will be allocated from a previously announced northern reconstruction plan valued at 15 billion shekels. Israeli government ministries will further provide an additional 230 million shekels.
The funding structure reflects a broader strategy to integrate settlement expansion into wider state-backed development initiatives. … continue

Since 28 February, the US and Israel have been waging war on Iran, with consequences that reach far beyond the battlefield. Across the Persian Gulf, governments have seized on the conflict to expand repression at home.
Under the pretext of combating “disinformation” and “rumors” on social media, Gulf states have launched sweeping arrest campaigns against hundreds of citizens and residents, making clear that any expression outside the official narrative can now be treated as a “security threat” or even the “voice of the enemy.”
Calls not to photograph or publish footage did not arrive as casual advice. Interior ministries across the Gulf issued them as official warnings. At first glance, the arguments appeared plausible: avoid panic, protect national security, deny useful information to the enemy. Within days, however, these directives became the basis for a much broader campaign of repression, one that moved quickly from warnings to prosecutions.
The Gulf states have imposed a near-total blackout on the flow of information, claiming that independent content could spread fear, aid the enemy militarily, or amount to treason. In practice, the war on Iran has become a ready-made excuse to criminalize speech.
Bahrain: From emergency measures to mass arrests
Manama justified its tightening security measures through a series of official statements. The Interior Ministry’s Civil Defense Council announced a ban on gatherings “in order to maintain compliance with public safety responsibilities in light of the blatant Iranian aggression against Bahrain.” What appeared to be a response to regional escalation quickly turned into cover for a far broader crackdown.
Authorities arrested more than 260 citizens on charges including “misuse of platforms” and “sympathy for Iranian aggression.” According to human rights sources, three of those detained were women. Authorities also published photographs of detainees in an effort to shame them publicly. […]
The campaign has also turned deadly. Mohammad Mohsen Mousavi, who was arrested in mid-March, reportedly showed signs of torture on his body during funeral preparations. The Interior Ministry responded by defending his detention and accusing him of links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). … Full article

Trump is going to attack Iran again — perhaps as early as this weekend — as a prelude to declaring victory and withdrawing US forces from the Persian Gulf area. I say this because Trump, via Secretary of War Hegseth, has dispatched 10,000 more US military personnel to the Persian Gulf region, along with the USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group. In addition, there has been a sizeable fleet of C-17s flowing into Jordan and Saudi Arabia. In other words, while Trump is telling interviewers that the war is over, he is busy prepping for another strike.
In preparation for that strike, the Trump team if pushing a frantic information operation that insists that the US has blocked dozen of ships from entering and leaving the Persian Gulf on the first full day of the US embargo. This is a lie. The Pentagon is cooperating with this disinformation campaign… Certainly not the first time that the Department of War and a theater commander have issued false reports in order to persuade the citizens of the US that the war is going our way. The reality is that the US still does not have enough ships in place, along with helicopters, to carryout an effective blockade. Moreover, the US is keeping its ships at least 500 miles from the Iranian coast out of fear of being struck by a Close-Range Ballistic Missile (CRMB) or a Coastal Defense Cruise Missile (CDCM). … Full article

For decades Washington has advertised its air and naval supremacy as the indispensable guarantor of global order. Recent events have shown this to be little but increasingly expensive theater. The 2026 Iran War has paused not with Iranian capitulation but in a cascade of humiliations that have permanently altered the strategic landscape. Washington’s vaunted power-projection capabilities proved unable to shield even its own forward bases, depleted critical munitions stockpiles, and ultimately ceded effective control of the Strait of Hormuz to Tehran. These lessons will not be lost on Beijing or Taipei. If the United States cannot impose its will on Iran, or previously the Houthis, it cannot credibly claim it could defend Taiwan against the far more formidable People’s Liberation Army. … continue

The Russian Defense Ministry’s statement on Europe’s plan to scale up drone production for Ukraine contained an explicit warning, says military analyst Ivan Konovalov speaking to Sputnik : Europe is turning into a “strategic rear base.”
The term applies to infrastructure that, while located outside the battlefield, directly sustains combat operations.
Under this logic, European hubs supplying Ukraine with drone components, data systems, FPV drones and heavy fixed-wing UAVs are no longer a “civilian facility in a peaceful country.”
“Once the production cycle on their territory is integrated into Ukraine’s strike capabilities against Russia, the line is crossed – they become a target deep within the enemy’s operational structure,” remarks the analyst. … continue

Stockholm’s allegations that a pro-Russian hacker group attempted to disrupt a thermal power plant in Sweden last year are unfounded and lacking concrete evidence, Russia’s ambassador to the country, Sergey Belyaev, has said.
Swedish Civil Defense Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin claimed on Wednesday that a group linked to Russian intelligence attempted to attack a district heating plant in western Sweden in the spring of 2025. Bohlin stated that Swedish security services had identified the actor behind the attack, which he said was thwarted by the plant’s built-in security systems.
“The Swedish Security Service handled the case and was able to identify the actor behind it, which has ties to Russian intelligence and security services,” Bohlin told reporters.
However, Belyaev has rejected the allegations as baseless, noting that Stockholm has not sought any consultations with the Russian side over the issue, which suggests that “there are no specific facts or evidence.”
He further stated that claims about the alleged involvement of “certain Russian hackers in such illegal activity remain at the level of the ‘highly likely’ principle, beloved by Western countries, that is, unfounded suspicions.”
Moscow has repeatedly denied Western accusations of involvement in hacking activities as warmongering and has consistently expressed willingness to cooperate on cybersecurity matters. … Full article

The EU spy campaign that helped bring down Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a lesson to anyone who defies Brussels, former Slovak Interior Minister Vladimir Palko has warned. “What they did to Orban yesterday, they can do to you tomorrow,” he told the outlet Marker on Monday.
Orban’s Fidesz party suffered a landslide defeat to Peter Magyar’s Tisza on Sunday, with Tisza outperforming even the most one-sided polls to win a 54% to 38% over Fidesz. Magyar’s party now holds 137 of 199 seats in parliament, giving the incoming PM power to rewrite the country’s constitution as he – and his allies in Brussels – see fit.
That the EU wanted this result was obvious. Orban had been a thorn in Brussels’ side for 16 years and was an insurmountable obstacle to the bloc’s plans to approve a €90 billion loan package for Ukraine. Throughout the election, evidence of interference by the EU, Ukraine, and opposition-friendly Hungarian media trickled out of Budapest. With the election over, the full extent of the EU’s intelligence campaign against Orban – and its implications for populists across Europe – is slowly becoming apparent.
“The defeat of Viktor Orban after 16 years of rule is not surprising at all,” Palko told Marker. “However, the tragedy is what happened in the election campaign.” … continue

California’s Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee voted 11-2 on April 7 to advance a bill that would let employees and volunteers at immigration service organizations demand the deletion of their images and personal information from the internet, backed by civil penalties starting at $4,000 and the threat of criminal charges.
AB 2624, authored by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, is already being called the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”
The bill arrives just weeks after investigative video creator Nick Shirley published a 40-minute video on alleged hospice fraud in California that racked up 42 million views on X.
Other investigations have found that a single program is causing the state to lose an alleged $6 billion in fraud annually. Shirley had already reported on over $110 million in Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota in December 2025, with empty facilities billing taxpayers while kids were nowhere to be found.
His California reporting uncovered an alleged $170 million in similar fraud in daycares and hospices, with ghost operations registered to empty lots and strip malls. Sacramento’s response to this flood of documented waste and abuse was not an audit, not an investigation into the programs themselves, but a bill to make it harder to film the people running them.
Under AB 2624, anyone affiliated with an organization providing “designated immigration support services” can send a written demand prohibiting the publication of their personal information or image online.
That demand remains effective for four years, even after the person leaves the organization. If the demand is ignored, the person can go to court for an injunction or declaratory relief.
Fines run up to three times the actual damages, with a floor of $4,000, meaning the minimum penalty triples to $12,000 in cases where a takedown demand is defied. … Full article

At the end of their only debate, Stark called Swalwell a “slimeball,” a “fucking crook,” accused him of bribery, and predicted, “you’re going to jail.” Mainstream media condemned Stark as a bully in the throes of cognitive decline, while Swalwell became their darling.

The United Arab Emirates is to close its flagship Burj Al Arab hotel for one and a half years amid a sharp drop in tourist visits to the Persian Gulf country, caused by Iran’s retaliatory attacks against US bases in the region, a report says.
The Wednesday report by Middle East Eye said that Burj Al Arab’s owner company said in a statement a day earlier that it would begin a lengthy refurbishment operation amid a drop-off in tourism activity in the UAE and the wider region as a result of Iranian operations.
The Reuters news agency also quoted a staff member of the hotel as saying that guests with prior bookings will be accommodated in alternative nearby hotels during the closure period.

The cost of repairing energy-linked infrastructure damaged during the recent US-led escalation in the Middle East could reach as high as $58 billion, underscoring the scale of destruction inflicted across the region, Rystad Energy reported.
Rystad Energy estimates that oil and gas facilities alone could account for up to $50 billion of that total, reflecting extensive damage to some of the region’s most critical assets. The figure marks a sharp increase from $25 billion just weeks earlier, with the firm noting that “the scope of damage has expanded materially” as strikes intensified before a temporary ceasefire was reached between Washington and Tehran.
The bulk of the damage is concentrated in oil and gas infrastructure, the backbone of regional economies, with repair costs in this sector alone reaching up to $50 billion. Rystad noted that downstream refining and petrochemical assets account for the largest share of losses due to their technical complexity and the extent to which they were targeted in later stages of the war. However, the impact has extended further, affecting essential civilian and industrial facilities, including desalination plants, steel factories, and aluminum production sites, adding another $3 billion to $8 billion in losses. … continue

Belgian authorities have seized two British shipments of military components bound for Israel, invoking a ban on any military-laden aircraft using the country’s facilities or airspace.
Last month, a coalition of news outlets and human rights groups alerted Brussels authorities to a military shipment traveling from Britain to Israel via Liege airport.
Dispatched from Britain on March 23, the shipments were intercepted at the airport just twenty-four hours later.
Upon inspection, a specialized engineer identified “fire control systems and spare parts for military aircraft,” which had not been properly declared.
Belgian authorities reportedly opened a criminal investigation into the affair but have declined to name the companies involved in the complaint.
However, the Walloon regional government in southern Belgium named one of the companies Moog, an American aerospace firm with factories in Britain.
The firm manufactures actuators for the M-346 aircraft used to train Israeli pilots.
According to a Belgian government spokesperson, no transit license request was issued for the cargo. “If it had been, it would have been refused.”
Sources involved with the tracking process stated that the components were exported from the UK under an Open Individual Export License and were classified as aircraft-related components rather than military hardware.
They added that at least 17 consignments from Moog have been moved from the UK to Liege Airport, bound for Israel. … Full article

Israeli occupation forces carried out three consecutive strikes targeting ambulance teams in the town of Mayfadoun in Lebanon’s Nabatieh district, according to a statement issued by the Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
The attacks, according to the statement, killed three paramedics and injured six others, with one paramedic missing and unaccounted for.
The Ministry said the first ambulance team, affiliated with the Islamic Health Authority, was struck while attempting to evacuate wounded people, killing one paramedic and leaving another missing.
As a second ambulance from the same Health Authority arrived to assist the initial team, it was also hit, resulting in injuries to three paramedics.
In a third rescue attempt, two ambulances belonging to the Islamic Risala Scout Association and the Nabatieh Ambulance Service were dispatched to the scene but were also targeted. The Ministry said this resulted in the killing of two paramedics and injuries to three others.
‘A heinous crime’
The Ministry of Public Health condemned the aggression as a “heinous crime”, saying that they reflect an attempt to obstruct paramedics from carrying out rescue operations and that medical teams have effectively become direct targets. It described the strikes as a violation of humanitarian norms and international humanitarian law.
It called on international humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to halt a dangerous breach of the right of the wounded to receive rescue and the protection owed to medical personnel.

Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Wednesday, targeting civilian vehicles and multiple towns, resulting in casualties and widespread destruction.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Beirut, an Israeli strike targeted a southbound vehicle transporting humanitarian aid on the Saadiyat highway earlier in the morning, with footage from the scene showing a completely destroyed minivan and canned and dry goods scattered across the road. Additional strikes targeted vehicles in the Jiyyeh area and along the road between the towns of Arabsalim and Habboush.
Israeli warplanes also conducted an airstrike on farmland along the banks of the Litani River in the al-Wasta area, expanding the scope of attacks beyond roads and residential zones.

Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked the village of Duma, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, late Tuesday night, bulldozing a key road and roaming provocatively between Palestinian homes.
Suleiman Dawabsha, head of the Duma Village Council, said the colonizers bulldozed the road connecting the village to Khirbet al‑Marajim, blocking it with earth mounds and cutting the main water line serving the area.
The al‑Baidar Human Rights Organization confirmed the incident, noting that the road was bulldozed and sealed with earth mounds, obstructing the movement of Palestinian residents.
The organization added that severing the water line disrupted daily life and further undermined essential infrastructure, stressing that such actions deliberately target Palestinian services and deepen the suffering of communities in the region.
In a related development, al‑Baidar reported that colonizers placed caravans on Palestinian‑owned land in the village of Jurat al‑Sham’a, south of Bethlehem, on Wednesday morning.
The organization said the move is part of ongoing attempts to establish a new colonial outpost, warning that these practices threaten agricultural lands and negatively impact Palestinian residents. … Full article

A campaign calling for the release of Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti has said that he has been subjected to “brutal” assaults inside Israeli prisons, claiming that he was beaten three times in less than a month.
In a statement, the Popular Campaign for the Release of Barghouti and Other Prisoners said that he had recently been subjected to new attacks while being held in isolation in Megiddo Prison in the north and Ramon Prison in the south, ahead of the 24th anniversary of his arrest. … Full article

Yousof Azizi, an Iranian academic and PhD candidate in Public Administration & Policy at Virginia Tech’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), has been reportedly detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to reports, he was detained despite having no issues with his visa status in the US.
He has not yet been allowed to meet with his lawyers, reports stated, and ICE is now discussing transferring him to a detention center in Louisiana.
Azizi, who is also a media personality with regular appearances on multiple international English and Persian media outlets, including Press TV, was taken into custody in front of his home, according to reports that Press TV cannot independently confirm.
Azizi has been one of the few voices in the Persian media sphere to openly and vociferously oppose American-Israeli war and sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
His media commentary has consistently criticized US military aggression against the Islamic Republic, in June last year and most recently during the Ramadan War.
Azizi was very active on his social media, condemning the unprovoked US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, and appeared on many news channels in and outside the US.
The lack of access to legal counsel and the prospect of out-of-state transfer have alarmed civil rights advocates in the US, who view it as an example of politically driven immigration enforcement, which has become common under the Trump administration. … Full article

Germany’s handling of anti-Israel protests was “disproportionate,” and the government’s use of hate-speech laws to counter the demonstrations unfairly restricted freedom of expression, a report by the EU’s human rights commissioner has found.
Compiled by the Council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights, Michael O’Flaherty, and published on Wednesday, the report called on the German government to “ensure that the fight against all forms of hatred fully respects the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and expression for all members of society.”
The report accuses German authorities of misusing claims of anti-Semitism to ban pro-Palestinian slogans and Palestinian flags from some rallies, and to outright ban others. Police have used excessive force against anti-Israel protesters, the report stated, while “freedom of expression has been restricted disproportionately, regarding debates on Palestinian rights or legitimate criticism of the Israeli government.”
Since 2017, the German government has endorsed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism. This controversial definition lists “claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” and “drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” as examples of anti-Semitic speech. … continue

Polish conservative politicians granted refuge in Hungary are facing the prospect of extradition after Péter Magyar secured a decisive election victory, immediately raising tensions over the fate of high-profile exiles.
During the campaign, Magyar made clear that individuals such as Zbigniew Ziobro and his deputy Marcin Romanowski — both of whom had been granted asylum under the outgoing government — could be handed over to Polish authorities. […]
Ziobro and Romanowski had turned to Hungary after Tusk’s return to power. Tusk’s government pursued a sweeping overhaul of Poland’s judicial system. Supporters of the Law and Justice (PiS) politicians argue that these moves have gone beyond reform, amounting instead to a politically motivated effort to dismantle the legacy of the previous administration and target its key figures.
They point to a series of legal actions launched against former members of the PiS government, claiming these cases are designed to sideline political opponents rather than deliver impartial justice. Within this context, Orbán’s Hungary was seen as one of the few European countries willing to offer protection to those who feared prosecution at home.
Despite the rhetoric, any extradition process is likely to face legal hurdles. In Hungary, courts — not the executive — ultimately decide on extradition requests, and asylum protections can significantly complicate proceedings. – Full article

Bulgarian Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov’s days are numbered, and his caretaker government is rushing to tie his country to Ukraine before a potential populist uprising. It’s about gas, influence, and keeping Sofia marching in lockstep with Brussels.
Gyurov was appointed acting prime minister in February, after Rosen Zhelyazkov resigned in November under the pressure of street protests and persistent allegations of corruption. His mandate is non-existent, and his term in office has lasted fewer than eight weeks. Nevertheless, he’s making frantic deals with Kiev before an election that he and his allies are almost certain to lose – all in an attempt to block his opponent from enacting policies that will upset Brussels.
His ‘We Continue the Change’ coalition is floundering at a dismal 10% ahead of Sunday’s election. The real competition is between Boyko Borissov (who served as prime minister between 2009 and 2021) and his pro-EU GERB-SDS coalition, and former President Rumen Radev’s left-leaning Progressive Bulgaria coalition.
Borissov is unlikely to upset the apple cart, but Radev is a vocal opponent of the EU’s Ukraine project, and he’s dominating in the polls. With the clock ticking, Gyurov set out for Kiev last month.
At a ceremony in the Ukrainian capital on March 30, Gyurov and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky signed a ten-year military cooperation agreement. Under its terms, Bulgaria will provide bilateral military aid to Ukraine for the next decade, both countries will jointly produce drones and ammunition, and their armed forces will train together. Furthermore, Sofia and Kiev will align their sanctions policies, while Bulgaria will pay towards Ukraine’s reconstruction and support its bid for NATO and EU membership.
Securing this agreement before the election was crucial for Gyurov. Radev opposes both the deal and Ukraine’s accession to NATO, while even the GERB party under Borissov withdrew its support for the pact in 2024 – with Borissov stating that his party would wait for a peace deal between Moscow and Kiev before signing anything.
Gyurov faced fierce criticism at home for signing such a consequential document without winning an election first: Radev was among the most scathing critics, calling the caretaker prime minister “practically illegitimate.” … continue
Sputnik – 15.04.2026
On March 26, 2026, amid growing losses and an increasingly acute manpower shortage within the Ukrainian armed forces, the leadership of several European countries decided to ramp up the production and supply of drones to Ukraine for strikes against Russian territory, the Russian Ministry of Defense shared on Wednesday.
The significant increase in drone output for the Kiev regime is planned through expanded funding for the so-called “Ukrainian” and “joint” ventures based in Europe that manufacture attack drones and their components.
“We view this decision as a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation of the military-political situation across the European continent and the creeping transformation of these countries into a strategic rear base for Ukraine,” the MoD stated.
The implementation of scenarios — voiced by representatives of the Kiev regime — involving terrorist attacks against Russia using Europe-produced, ostensibly “Ukrainian” drones, would lead to unpredictable consequences, the ministry added.
Instead of strengthening European security, the actions of European leaders are increasingly dragging their countries into war with Russia. … Full article

Slovenia’s newly elected parliament speaker has announced plans to hold a referendum on withdrawing the country from NATO, as the US‑led military bloc reels from its worst internal crisis in decades with Washington threatening to pull out from the organization entirely.
The leader of the Truth Party, Zoran Stevanovic, was elected as the head of the lower house last week. Speaking to public broadcaster RTVSLO, he stated that a vote on leaving the bloc was a campaign promise he intends to keep.
“We promised the people a referendum on the issue of leaving NATO, and we will hold this referendum,” Stevanovic said.
The speaker also signaled a possible visit to Moscow “in the near future,” stating he would like to “build bridges and cooperate well with all countries, regardless of the wall that has been built between the West and the East.” … Full article

The US Navy has confirmed that an MQ-4C Triton unmanned surveillance aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf region on April 9, with the incident now described as a mishap, although little was revealed regarding the circumstance under which it was lost.
After the aircraft had vanished unexpectedly from online flight tracking sites while flying over the Persian Gulf, multiple sources reported that it had been shot down by Iranian air defenses.
The MQ-4C is a significantly rarer and higher value aircraft than the F-15E strike fighter, MQ-9 drone, and other aircraft that have been shot down by Iranian forces, with only the US Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS destroyed on the ground in Saudi Arabia being more valuable.
Where the E-3 is an ageing aircraft that was scheduled for retirement within the next 15 years, the MQ-4C is a cutting edge platform that is still being produced for the Navy. … continue

Iran’s Minister of Science, Research, and Technology Hossein Simaei has confirmed that over 60 university students and 10 professors have been martyred in the recent US-Israeli aggression.
During a visit to the Aerospace Research Institute of Iran (IARI) on Wednesday, Simaei expressed hope that the academic community would continue the work of those lost in the attacks.
“The students and professors martyred during the illegal aggression have been identified,” Simaei said. “We hope that other members of Iran’s academia continue the work of the martyred students and professors.”
Simaei described the strikes as part of a broader campaign of “scientific crimes” by the US and the Israeli regime. He said the IARI, a facility focused on non-military research in fields such as biology, agriculture, and surveying, was specifically targeted twice despite its peaceful academic objectives.
“This is another of the scientific crimes committed by the sinister US-Israeli alliance. This is a place where researchers in civilian fields like biology, agriculture, and surveying worked, and unfortunately, it has fallen victim to the barbaric attacks of the enemy,” Simaei stated. … continue
The president’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization took America to a dark place
By Harrison Berger | The American Conservative | April 10, 2026
On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare that “a civilization will die tonight.” By 8 p.m., the U.S. announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran had begun. Whether the ceasefire holds (or even takes hold) is already in question—Iran and the U.S. appear to be offering contradictory accounts of what the 10-point plan they allegedly agreed to actually says. The best hope that it might stick comes from Israel, where TV presenters who spent Monday salivating over a clock counting down the minutes and hours until Trump’s planned genocide of Iranians were left confused and outraged when the president backed down shortly before the deadline.
But whether or not Trump ultimately goes as far as the Israelis would like him to, Americans must now reckon with the destruction already carried out in our name, the civilization-destroying actions Trump has threatened, and the barbarians we have become in the process. … continue
Israel’s erroneous belief that it can destroy Iran should not be supported by the US, the Russian foreign minister has said
RT | April 15, 2026
There is no quick fix to the crisis surrounding Iran, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. The US must recognize its underlying causes, including Israel’s goal of destroying the country, he added.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to China on Wednesday, Lavrov described the situation as “a crisis knot that will be extremely difficult to untangle.” He explained that “some parties are trying to cut it now – I don’t believe that would produce a [favorable] result.”
According to Lavrov, the current crisis stems directly from the US-Israeli attack on Iran in late February. The resulting disruption to global markets and the Iranian damage to Arab states hosting US military facilities were foreseeable consequences, he stressed.
“Israel appears totally convinced that Iran must be destroyed. I cannot understand how such a belief is possible,” Lavrov said, adding that remarks by US President Donald Trump about wiping out Iran’s civilization had sparked strong international backlash. … continue
A deep dive into how Charles Bronfman and his family shaped a century of shadow politics
José Niño Unfiltered | April 14, 2026
The Jeffrey Epstein files continue to spill their secrets. With each new document release, each newly unsealed court record, the spotlight inches closer to a network of Jewish billionaires who operated in the shadows long before the convicted sex trafficker became a household name. The names in Epstein’s black book read like a roster of Jewish power. But behind those individual names lies something even more intriguing, a structure, an architecture of influence that Epstein exploited with devastating effectiveness.
At the center of that architecture stands a mysterious organization that most Americans have never heard of. It was founded in 1991 by two men, one of whom would become Epstein’s most consequential patron, granting him sweeping power of attorney over his billion-dollar fortune. The other was a Canadian-American billionaire whose family name once adorned the world’s largest liquor company and whose philanthropic fingerprints can be found on nearly every major Jewish institution in North America.
His name is Charles Bronfman. … continue

Five Palestinian citizens, including a child, were martyred and others were injured in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
According to media sources, four citizens, including a child and a police officer, were killed when an Israeli warplane bombed a police vehicle in Gaza City.
Gaza’s interior ministry said one police officer and three civilians, one of them a child, were killed and nine other people, including police officers and passersby, were injured, some critically, in an Israeli airstrike.
The ministry explained that a warplane targeted a police vehicle belonging to the al‑Tuffah and al‑Daraj police station during a routine patrol in Gaza City earlier today.
This morning, medical sources reported that a martyr was brought to Al‑Shifa Hospital following an Israeli strike in the al‑Alami area in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces carried out a large-scale demolition operation targeting citizens’ homes and buildings inside Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, accompanied by artillery strikes on the eastern areas of Gaza City.
Armored vehicles and tanks positioned along the eastern edge of the central governorate also opened heavy machinegun fire towards areas in central Gaza.

Palestinian students in the occupied West Bank were forced to hold classes outdoors after illegal Israeli settlers blocked the main road to school with a fence and barbed wire, Anadolu reports.
Residents of Umm al-Khair village in the Masafer Yatta area in southern West Bank said the route was closed early in the morning, preventing around 55 students from reaching school.
Villagers staged a sit-in protest demanding the road be reopened, but Israeli forces intervened and used tear gas, affecting children in the area, according to local sources.
Palestinian activist and teacher Tareq al-Hazzalin said “usurping settlers” had closed the road used by students to reach school.
“We informed the police, but no action was taken,” he said.
He added that the incident was not just a road closure, but part of a systematic practice restricting children’s right to education. … Full article

BETHLEHEM – Three Palestinians were injured on Tuesday after settlers attacked the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem.
The attack involved direct assaults and an attempted property theft.
Local sources reported that settlers attacked residents in the “Al-Matl” area east of the town and attempted to seize their sheep. They then sprayed them with pepper spray, injuring three people who were taken to the town clinic for treatment.
The attack comes amid a noticeable escalation in settler and Israeli occupation forces’ assaults in the Bethlehem governorate. Several areas have witnessed similar incidents, including an attack in Khala’il al-Louz a few days ago, where residents were sprayed with pepper spray, as well as land bulldozing and the installation of mobile homes in the village of Marah Mu‘alla south of the governorate.

Palestinian residents confronted Israeli occupiers Tuesday who attempted to seize a home in the town of Shuyukh in the southern occupied West Bank, according to sources, Anadolu reports.
A group of armed occupiers stormed the town in northeastern Hebron and raided a Palestinian home, trying to take it by force, but residents intervened and prevented the confiscation, sources told Anadolu.
Fadi al-Ayaydeh, executive director of Shuyukh municipality, said residents were surprised early Tuesday to find occupiers had set up a tent on land belonging to Palestinians.
“We went to the site and found a large number of residents there. During that time, armed settlers confronted us and fired shots in the air to intimidate people,” al-Ayaydeh told Anadolu.
Israeli forces later arrived and fired stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowd, he added.
Al-Ayaydeh said erecting the tent was “an attempt to impose a fait accompli,” explaining that occupiers often set up tents and informal outposts, then monitor reactions and expand if there is no resistance.
He noted that residents would remain at the site to ensure the tent is removed and that people can access their land.
The official Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said occupiers carried out 497 attacks against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank in March, killing nine.

Israeli forces have destroyed the shrine of Prophet Shimon the Just in the town of Shamaa in the Tyre district, according to official and local media reports.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the area of the ancient citadel in Tyre, where the shrine was located.
The site was listed as part of a UNESCO World Heritage area, granting it international cultural protection.
According to the report, surrounding hills near Shamaa were subjected to intermittent shelling early Monday, though there was no immediate confirmation of casualties.
Lebanese media, including Al-Akhbar, said Israeli forces had bulldozed the shrine before destroying it in an airstrike.
The shrine had previously been destroyed during the 2014 war before being restored by local residents, who regard it as a historical religious site and mosque. … Full article

The role of the Zionist lobby in the U.S. is so notorious that it has practically become contemporary folklore. Some European authors also emphasize the great influence that the Zionist lobby enjoys, primarily in France, and secondarily in the United Kingdom and Germany. Nowadays, there is also increasing talk of its influence over Argentina, especially in the context of the Andinia Plan.
But Brazil is almost always left out of this equation. To some extent, it is as if the image of a tropical “paradise” in perfect balance between Catholic faith and Dionysian spirit does not quite align with Zionist manipulations. But this perception is misleading.
In the past, we have commented on the overwhelming neo-Pentecostal growth in Brazil. Today, they make up approximately 30% of the Brazilian population, and with their theological specificities, they bring with them an obsession with the State of Israel. Moreover, there are plenty of theses claiming that neo-Pentecostal penetration in Latin America was a successful operation orchestrated by the CIA to subvert hegemonic Catholic spirituality and pave the way for Zionism.
In parallel, however, the Brazilian Jewish community itself has gradually built a modestly influential lobby, well-connected in politics, the media, and the judiciary, though far less aggressive than the Zionist lobby in other countries.
The test to verify, however, the degree of Zionist influence in Brazil and how much neo-Pentecostal expansion will serve to guarantee Zionist designs is unfolding now. … continue

A recent poll conducted by Leger, commissioned by the right-leaning Postmedia network, reveals a sharp deterioration in Canadian public perceptions of “Israel”, amid growing global backlash over its actions in the region.
According to the survey, only 22% of Canadians now hold a favorable view of “Israel”, down from 33% in 2023. Meanwhile, unfavourable views of “Israel” have risen sharply, reaching 61%, thus pointing to a widening rejection of its policies.
The data also highlight political divisions, with just 17% of Liberal Party supporters viewing “Israel” positively, compared to 38% among Conservative voters, though even within that group, support remains far from a majority.
The shift in sentiment comes against the backdrop of continued Israeli aggression in Gaza since October 7, 2023, as well as ongoing attacks on Lebanon and the escalating war on Iran, developments that have drawn increasing international scrutiny over humanitarian conditions and broader regional consequences. … Full article

Meloni’s right-wing government, which has been among “Israel’s” closest allies in Europe, has in recent weeks grown increasingly critical of Israeli military actions during the wars, particularly strikes affecting Lebanon. Italian troops deployed there under a United Nations mandate have also been impacted.

The Iranian government says the country’s preliminary assessment of the damage caused by the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression has reached $270 billion, stressing that the figure may change.
Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani made the remarks to Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency in a report published on Tuesday, asserting that the estimate was not yet final and pointing out that “damages are usually assessed across several layers.”
She also noted that the question of war reparations was being followed through diplomatic channels.
“One of the issues being pursued by our negotiating team, and also discussed in Islamabad talks, is the matter of war reparations,” the official noted.
She was referring to the Pakistan-mediated negotiations that took place between an Iranian delegation and an American one in the city over Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday, the president of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) said more than 125,000 civilian structures had been either destroyed or severely damaged as a result of the aggression.
Pir-Hossein Koulivand identified 100,000 of the structures as residential properties and 23,500 as commercial centers.

Iran has demanded that five Arab states hosting US bases pay reparations for American and Israeli airstrikes on its territory.
In a letter to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday, Iranian envoy Amir Saeid Iravani argued that Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan had allowed the US to use their territory to attack Iran and, in some cases, were directly involved in “unlawful armed attacks targeting civilian objects.”
Iravani added that the Arab states “should make full reparation to the Islamic Republic of Iran, including compensation for all material and moral damage sustained as a result of their internationally wrongful acts.”
The Gulf states had previously demanded that Iran be held liable for war damage, a claim Iravani rejected as “legally untenable and fundamentally divorced from the factual and legal realities.” … continue
JAKARTA – Indonesia has secured agreements on the supply of crude oil, fuel and liquefied petroleum gas from Russia, Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia said on Tuesday.
“We will be able to increase our crude oil reserves. In addition, we will have the opportunity to receive liquefied petroleum gas… The Russian side declared its readiness to support Indonesia’s energy security, including oil and gas supplies, as well as the development of storage systems,” the minister said following talks in Moscow.
The results of the negotiations send a positive signal to strengthen Indonesia’s energy sustainability “against the backdrop of an unstable global situation,” the minister said, noting that the partnership with Russia could “become an important option, given the scale of its energy production and experience in the oil and gas industry.”

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called on China to take a more prominent role in global affairs, arguing that a stable international order would not be possible without Beijing’s involvement.
Sanchez, on his fourth visit to China in four years, said on Monday that the world was moving towards a multipolar structure and highlighted growing concerns in Europe over the reliability of the United States.
He also expressed interest in strengthening economic ties with China after remarks made by US President Donald Trump about a potential rupture in trade with Spain.
The Spanish premier, who was in Beijing at the invitation of Chinese counterpart Li Qiang, pointed to the importance of expanding “all-round exchanges and cooperation between European nations and China.”
He also stated that Spain would continue to play a key role in advancing relations between Brussels and Beijing.
The visit came amid Madrid’s continued unequivocal criticism of Washington’s policies, including the latter’s unprovoked aggression targeting Iran that was launched on February 28 alongside the Israeli regime. … continue

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), in Beijing on Tuesday. […]
Xi put forward a four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
Xi called for adherence to the principle of peaceful coexistence. Countries in the Middle East and Gulf region are interdependent and inseparable neighbors. Efforts should be made to support these countries to improve their relations, and it is imperative to promote the building of a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security architecture for the Middle East and the Gulf region.
He urged adherence to the principle of national sovereignty. Sovereignty serves as a foundation for all countries, especially developing countries, to survive and thrive, and it must not be violated. The sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region should be fully respected, and the safety of personnel, facilities and institutions of all countries should be effectively safeguarded.
On adherence to the principle of international rule of law, Xi said the authority of international rule of law should be upheld, rejecting selective application to prevent the world from falling back into the law of the jungle. He called for firmly upholding the international system with the UN at its core, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
He said development and security should be coordinated. Security makes development possible, and development helps maintain security. All parties should work together to create a favorable environment for the development of countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region. China is ready to share with these countries the opportunities brought about by Chinese modernization to strengthen the foundation for regional development and security. … Full article
Saudi Arabian officials are warning the US that its move to impose a blockade on Iranian ports following failed negotiations could backfire, triggering even wider global energy disruption, according to media reports.
Trump aims to pressure Iran into loosening its grip over the Strait of Hormuz, but Saudi officials are reportedly actively urging the US to return to negotiations with Iran over fears that the Bab al-Mandeb — which handles about 10% of global crude and liquefied natural gas shipments — may also be threatened.
The kingdom has managed to maintain oil exports near pre-conflict levels [Tanker-tracking data and market reports show Saudi crude oil exports averaged about 3.3 million barrels per day in March 2026, about half of previous exports] by rerouting crude across its territory to Red Sea ports, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
But that alternative route would become vulnerable, putting a large share of Saudi exports at risk, since Iran has signaled that if its own oil flows are restricted, it could retaliate by disrupting other key shipping lanes.
Iran’s potential leverage lies in its regional alliances, especially with Houthi forces in Yemen, who control territory near the Bab al-Mandeb. These groups have previously demonstrated their ability to disrupt maritime traffic through missile and drone attacks and are widely seen as a strategic reserve that Iran could activate if tensions escalate further.
Besides physical disruption, the ripple effects on global markets would potentially drive up insurance costs, force ships to reroute, and create supply delays — all of which could push energy prices higher.
