Podcasts about Abdel Fattah

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Former Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad fled Syria for Russia a year ago as rebels commanded by Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, seized the country. Initially greeted with some skepticism for his terrorist ties, al-Sharaa is now feted on world stages. Horovitz shares impressions from what he heard from Syrian officials during a recent Damascus trip and how their new leader, under the Trump administration's wing, is increasingly boldly criticizing Israel and its hold on the buffer zone between the two nations. This morning, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz arrived in Israel for an official visit focused on advancing Washington’s peace plan for Gaza. Yesterday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza is “almost” complete, and that he expects to move on to its second phase soon, at a joint Jerusalem press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. However, yesterday evening, the premier expressed skepticism about the notion that a multinational force meant to patrol Gaza could successfully disarm Hamas. We speak about Israel's concerns, Hamas's alleged readiness to "freeze" its weapons arsenal and the current facts on the ground in Gaza. Israeli and Qatari officials met in New York on Sunday, according to a report, in the first of a series of trilateral meetings set up by US envoy Steve Witkoff, who is looking to mend ties that were frayed by Israel’s botched September strike on Hamas offices in Qatar. At the same time, the White House is also reportedly looking to broker a summit between Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Horovitz weighs in. During his meeting with Merz yesterday, Netanyahu said that he will not retire from politics in exchange for a pardon in his corruption trial, and also that he is not interested in a plea bargain. Horovitz sets the scene and explains its significance in the ongoing Netanyahu legal saga. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Specifically, Trump intends to use it for: Accelerating Scientific Breakthroughs: By harnessing the world’s largest collection of federal scientific datasets (built over decades) to train AI foundation models and create AI agents that test hypotheses, automate research workflows, and drive discoveries comparable to historical efforts like the Manhattan Project. Combining National Resources: Integrating efforts from American scientists (including at DOE national labs), pioneering businesses, world-renowned universities, existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites to achieve dramatic advancements in AI development and utilization. Addressing Key Domains: Focusing on national priorities to revolutionize areas like infrastructure, data management, production, and security; build on innovations in semiconductors and high-performance computing; and secure energy dominance. Economic and Strategic Benefits: Dramatically enhancing workforce productivity, multiplying returns on taxpayer investments in research and development, strengthening national security, and furthering America’s global strategic leadership in technology. Broader Impacts: Enabling AI-directed experimentation, manufacturing, and problem-solving to tackle existential risks and opportunities, while ensuring secure, interoperable systems across government and partners. This initiative is framed as a response to global competition in AI, building on prior actions like America’s AI Action Plan, with an emphasis on urgency to outpace adversaries and foster economic growth.

Announcing the step on Monday, the US Treasury reiterated long-standing allegations that Maduro, whose legitimacy Washington disputes, heads the group.

President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1993319619403169935?s=20  to do anything. “Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump's focus on Venezuela may lead to a “fracture” among those who were drawn in by his campaign promise of avoiding foreign wars.” “Over the last few months, Trump has launched a campaign to eliminate alleged drug trafficking in international waters near Central and South America, mostly through controversial boat strikes – although he has also floated the idea of taking the strikes to land. On Monday, the Trump administration will officially designate Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization – a decision Paul on Sunday criticized. “I think by doing this, they are pretending as if we are at war,” said Paul, chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “They're pretending as if they've gotten some imprimatur to do what they want,” he warned. “When you have war, the rules of engagement are lessened.” How many years has Rand Paul, been in office and when has he ever lifted a finger to go after the drug cartels? Trump is the first president who is waging a real war against drug cartels worldwide and Rand is doing his best to try and stop him. Trump cares about the millions of Americans who are dying from drug addiction and the families, who have lost loved ones. Rand Paul cares more about the drug cartels. And he's crying because Trump doesn't need him for anything. “Democrats in Congress have also expressed outrage over the strikes and the lack of briefings on the administration's actions – something Paul said he too has not received despite his position on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.” “I've been given zero, not one briefing because I am skeptical of what they are doing,” Paul said. “They don't brief me or the general Senate at all. A few hand-selected people may have gotten a briefing but I have not been invited to any briefings on Venezuela.” Why isn't Trump briefing Rand Paul or the democrats? Because you don't brief your enemies on your plans, when you are engaged in war. Rand Paul is nothing but a grandstanding politician and he can't stand the fact, that Trump ignores him and doesn't need him for anything. Do you want to know why else, Trump doesn't listen to him about fighting drug cartels? Here's Rand's solution to the problem: “Paul conceded that the flow of drugs into the country remains an issue but insisted that the government should focus on eliminating the demand for drugs here at home. “We should be trying to work on the demand side, treating it as a health problem, as an addiction problem in our country and trying to lessen demand. And that is part of the overall solution,” he said.” https://politico.com/news/2025/11/23/rand-paul-gop-venezuelan-strikes-00666488 To Rand Paul, millions of Americans dying from “illegal” drugs is just an “issue.” He thinks the solution is to pass legislation that takes more money from the American taxpayer and puts a bandaid on the problem. Trump on the other hand, is enforcing the laws already on the books and waging war against narco drug trafficking states that are clearly killing Americans for profit. We don't need Rand Paul in the Republican Party. He's only trying to get in the way and slow down Trump's efforts to Make America Great Again. The sooner he is removed from Congress the better.  Marjorie Taylor Greene's Resignation Could Spark Another Shutdown Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) resignation from Congress could handicap Republicans in a critical period during which government funding expires, with dire consequences for the MAGA movement. Georgia law dictates that within ten days of a congressman's resignation, the state's governor must call a special election to take place after at least 30 days from his pronouncement. If no candidate wins a majority in the jungle election (during which all candidates run against one another regardless of party), a runoff with the top two vote-getters takes place 28 days later. By prolonging her election, Greene all but assures her seat will be empty during a period where Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — and the American people dependent on a functioning federal government — may need every vote they can get. Greene, by prolonging her resignation for a month and a half, removes much of the urgency of scheduling a special election. Georgia political operatives project Kemp to set a date in March.

The prior U.S. attorney refused to prosecute these Democrat operatives. So the Attorney General picked a new one who is unafraid to follow the law. What is the Democrats' response? Unsurprisingly, an Obama judge hand-selected a Clinton judge. Then the Clinton judge tossed both indictments. And the first sentence in both nearly identical orders, in which the Clinton judge personally and gratuitously attacks Lindsey Halligan, makes it crystal clear this judge is a Democrat partisan. Democrat politicians, including in robes, shamefully protect their own. Unfortunately, we have two systems of justice. One Democrats weaponize against enemies. And one Democrats weaponize to protect allies. The Justice Department must appeal.

Because too many Republicans would vote NO. Home-state senators do not want to give away their power to hand-select the U.S. attorney who would prosecute them, the U.S. district judge who would oversee their trial, and the U.S. marshal who would escort them to prison. The solution is simple: Have all Senate Judiciary Republicans and at least 50 Senate Republicans sign a letter saying this: “We will vote to confirm President Trump’s U.S. attorney nominees who lack blue slips from home-state senators.” Then Grassley can move forward with a committee vote. But why would Grassley anger all his colleagues and waste limited committee resources, if the nominees will fail? https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993291465137831953?s=20 https://twitter.com/C__Herridge/status/1993308443667472479?s=20 Kash Patel Talks In Depth About Attempted Trump Assassin And His Motives FBI Director Kash Patel told investigative journalist Catherine Herridge that hatred for the U.S. government and the two-party system played a role in Thomas Matthew Crooks' attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pa. Herridge asked Patel what motivated Crooks, 20, to try to kill Trump, then the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Patel's answer appeared to depart from previous FBI statements when bureau officials said they were unable to find a motive or ideology behind the assassination attempt. The FBI director — appearing on Herridge's show “Straight to the Point” by the Los Angeles Times Media Group — told her that Trump was “satisfied” with his agency's investigation into that fateful day. Patel stopped short of saying the case was closed. “He [Crooks], as has been publicized, had a basically hateful relationship with the United States government, talked disparagingly about both political parties, to include President Trump, and talked about the need to take matters into his own hands. And, unfortunately, that's what he did,” Patel said when Herridge asked about Crooks' motive.  Patel was later asked if Trump was satisfied with the FBI's findings regarding the July 2024 assassination attempt. He emphatically responded “yes.” Herridge asked Patel, “Is the Thomas Crooks case a closed case?” “How we treat cases like this of such great public importance is we put them in a pending-slash-inactive status, so if there's new information that comes in, we can receive it and react to it, and we don't want to foreclose that possibility,” the director said.

And now Trump just designated the group that was one of Mamdani's biggest fundraisers, as a terrorist organization. Just a coincidence? The ball is now in Mamdani's court.

The Brotherhood is the unified political voice of many regional chapters, each with a varying degree of authentic Islam behind it. Qatar is the central bank for the Muslim Brotherhood; Turkey represents the Brotherhood's biggest national support network, and Egypt is the intellectual or scholastic battleground where the values of political Islam are debated. The executive order instructs the State Dept to officially begin the process to look at each chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood as a separate entity, and then see if the designation of a terrorist organization can apply to that chapter. As noted in the Executive Order, “relevant here, its chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns.”  It looks like Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt chapters of the Brotherhood will get the first review. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi already dealt with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood once, kicking their leadership out of Egypt.  The leaders fled to Qatar, and then ultimately ended up in Turkey, where Recep Erdogan absolutely loves the usefulness of the Brotherhood. Jordanian King Abdullah has been balancing the Muslim Brotherhood influence for years, and Lebanon is a hot mess with the Hezbollah faction of the Brotherhood.  The Muslim Brotherhood, as a political structure, holds all kinds of extremist factions under its umbrella (al-Qaeda, al-Nusra etc.).   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com 1237 Apr 22, 2018 1:31:31 AM EDT Q !xowAT4Z3VQ ID: 3e4934 No. 1141069  “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means.

Voilà bientôt dix ans qu'un commando terroriste a semé la terreur dans les rues de Paris, le 13 novembre 2015, assassinant 130 personnes et en blessant plusieurs centaines d'autres. Trois rescapés se sont depuis donné la mort, succombant à leurs blessures psychiques. Ces attentats ont profondément impacté la société française. Les médias jouent un rôle central lors de tels événements. Difficile d'informer avec précision dans un climat de peur et d'incertitude après un attentat. Le 9 janvier 2015 notamment, des chaînes d'information en continu ont divulgué la présence d'otages cachés dans la chambre froide de l'Hypercacher de Vincennes, mettant leur vie en danger. Les médias servent de caisse de résonance aux terroristes, qui, pour la plupart sont avides de spectacle. Face à la sidération après les attentats contre Charlie Hebdo et l'Hypercacher, la société française s'est immédiatement massivement mobilisée comme en témoigne la grande manifestation du 11 janvier 2015. La vie quotidienne a été transformée, bouleversée par les dispositifs de surveillance, de prévention et de lutte antiterroriste. Le terrorisme provoque également des effets perturbateurs comme la montée de sentiments xénophobes, antimusulmans ou antisémites et leurs réponses politiques. Il a induit des progrès considérables de la recherche, en particulier, depuis 2015, sur la question des traumatismes. Il impacte les procédures judiciaires. En France, depuis 2019, le nombre de procès criminels pour terrorisme a été multiplié par sept : la raison principale en est non seulement la création d'un parquet national antiterroriste, mais aussi la volonté de donner réparation à toutes les victimes et leur offrir la possibilité de s'exprimer dans le lieu symbolique d'une cour de justice.Procureur de la République de Paris en charge de la lutte contre le terrorisme entre 2011 et 2018, François Molins a vécu les événements les plus dramatiques qui se sont succédé pendant cette période, des attentats de Mohamed Merah en 2012, au 13 novembre 2015, en passant par le massacre de la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo. Insistant sur le fait qu'il a fallu trouver une juste mesure entre le durcissement de la réponse et le respect des libertés et droits fondamentaux, François Molins considère que « dans l'ensemble, la France y est parvenue » : L'état d'urgence décrété au lendemain du 13 Novembre a duré un peu moins de deux ans, jusqu'au 1er novembre 2017. Il a rassuré les gens et permis une amplification de la lutte - assignations à résidence, perquisitions, interdictions de séjour, fermeture de mosquées radicalisées -, toujours sous le contrôle de la justice administrative et du Parlement. Mais le risque de dérive est réel, met en garde François Mollins. En octobre 2025, cinq actes terroristes d'inspiration djihadiste ont été réalisés ou projetés, dans quatre pays européens, rappelle l'ancien procureur antiterroriste Jean-François Ricard. Ces faits, insiste-t-il, doivent nous alerter sur la persistance d'une menace qui prend des formes nouvelles.LA GUERRE AU SOUDAN Au Soudan, le 26 octobre la ville d'El-Facher, capitale de la province du Darfour du Nord est tombée aux mains des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) qui assiégeaient la ville depuis plus de dix-huit mois. C'était le dernier bastion, au Darfour, des Forces armées soudanaises (FAS). La guerre au Soudan a commencé en avril 2023 lorsque les tensions autour du projet d'intégration des FSR à l'armée régulière ont éclaté en un conflit qui a fait des dizaines de milliers de morts et déplacé de 12 à 13 millions de personnes. Deux acteurs qui s'étaient partagé le pouvoir après la chute du dictateur Omar el-Béchir, renversé en 2019 s'affrontent : l'armée soudanaise, héritière de l'ancien régime, avec à sa tête le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhane ; et les FSR, une unité paramilitaire dissidente dirigée par le général Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, dit Hemetti. En début d'année, l'armée soudanaise et ses supplétifs miliciens ont reconquis la capitale, Khartoum, ainsi que la région agricole de la Jézira, le long du Nil. Depuis, ils contrôlent toute la moitié orientale du Soudan. A l'ouest, en revanche, les RSF dominent. Le noyau dur des hommes de Hemetti est composé d'anciens combattants arabes jenjawids employés, à l'époque d'El-Béchir, pour effectuer les sales besognes du régime et écraser les mouvements rebelles du Darfour. Ils sont eux-mêmes originaires de cette région, grande comme la France métropolitaine.Situé à la lisière de la partie subsaharienne de l'Afrique et du Moyen-Orient, le Soudan concentre une multitude de richesses et d'avantages géostratégiques suscitant toutes sortes de convoitises et d'ingérences : d'immenses terres arables, les eaux du Nil, des mines d'or, du pétrole, l'accès à la mer Rouge face à l'Arabie saoudite, des frontières avec huit pays africains. Soutenues par une partie des Émirats arabes unis, les FSR contrôlent les mines d'or du Darfour, les circuits de contrebande vers la Libye et la Centrafrique, et finance une armée privée plus riche que l'État soudanais, tandis que les FAS ont bénéficié de l'appui de l'Égypte, de l'Arabie saoudite, de l'Iran et de la Turquie, selon des observateurs. Tous nient toute implication.Les réactions internationales demeurent d'une discrétion gênée. Lundi, toutefois, le bureau du procureur de la Cour pénale internationale a averti que les atrocités commises par les FRS à El-Fasher « pourraient constituer des crimes de guerre et des crimes contre l'humanité ». Le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l'homme mentionne des « massacres massifs de civils et de combattants désarmés ». La région, déjà extrêmement affaiblie depuis les massacres de Geneina en 2023, s'enfonce dans un nouveau cycle de violences entre communautés, où vengeance et désordre remplacent toute stratégie politique. Le pays s'est disloqué en zones d'influence : le Darfour aux mains des FSR, le Nord et l'Est sous commandement militaire, le Sud livré au chaos. L'État soudanais, déjà amputé du Soudan du Sud en 2011, se délite à nouveau.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a congratulatory message to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, hailing the cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Au moins 150 000 morts, 12 millions de réfugiés et 25 millions de personnes en proie à la famine… C'est le triste bilan après près de trois ans de conflit meurtrier entre l'armée soudanaise, héritière de l'ancien régime, avec à sa tête le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et les FSR, les Forces de soutien rapide, une unité paramilitaire dissidente dirigée par le général Hemedti. Avantage à ces derniers : dimanche, constate Libération à Paris, après 18 mois de siège, « la ville d'El-Fasher est tombée aux mains des Forces de soutien rapide, laissant présager de nouveaux massacres ethniques. Les paramilitaires contrôlent désormais la quasi-totalité de la région du Darfour ». Et le journal de s'interroger : « est-ce un tournant dans la guerre civile soudanaise ? » Oui, répond Alan Boswell, de l'International Crisis Group : « la chute d'El-Fasher est "le moment que beaucoup redoutaient, celui de la partition claire du Soudan. Le pays est désormais de facto divisé. Et plus la guerre durera, plus cette division deviendra concrète et sera difficile à inverser" ». Et « que fait la communauté internationale ? », s'interroge encore Libération. Réponse : « à peu près rien. En juin 2024, le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies a voté la résolution 2736 exigeant "que les FSR mettent fin au siège d'El-Fasher", demandant "l'arrêt immédiat des combats" et "que les parties au conflit autorisent et facilitent l'acheminement rapide, sûr, durable et sans entrave de l'aide humanitaire destinée aux civils qui en ont besoin". Aucune de ces "exigences" onusienne n'a été respectée. Après un an de siège, l'état de famine a été déclaré à Zamzam puis à El-Fasher même. Les bombardements et les assauts des FSR n'ont jamais cessé ». Deux prédateurs… Pour Le Temps à Genève, « le Soudan est (donc) plus que jamais divisé entre deux prédateurs ». Deux généraux, « deux anciens complices qui se battent entre eux, commente le chercheur Marc Lavergne, interrogé par le journal. Ce n'est pas une guerre civile, affirme-t-il. Car les Soudanais ne se détestent pas, ils subissent cette guerre. Il reste une conscience nationale et, malgré l'exil de millions d'habitants, le mouvement démocratique subsiste dans ce pays qui avait vu naître les premiers partis politiques en Afrique pendant la colonisation britannique ». Il n'empêche : le pays est plus que jamais coupé en deux, constate encore Marc Lavergne : « l'armée soudanaise aura de la peine à reprendre le contrôle du Darfour. Les FSR, quant à eux, pourront difficilement reprendre pied dans la capitale ». Pourtant, déplore-t-il, « une nouvelle partition n'est pas la solution. Il n'y a qu'à voir le destin du Soudan du Sud, lui aussi déchiré par les combats et les ambitions personnelles ». Du matériel militaire britannique Toujours à propos de ce conflit, cette révélation du Guardian à Londres : « du matériel militaire britannique a été retrouvé sur des champs de bataille au Soudan, du matériel utilisé par les FSR, groupe paramilitaire accusé de génocide », pointe le journal qui s'appuie sur « des documents consultés par le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU ». Il s'agit, précise le Guardian de « de systèmes de cibles pour armes légères et de moteurs de fabrication britannique pour véhicules blindés de transport de troupes ». Ces matériels « auraient transité par les Émirats arabes unis, accusés à plusieurs reprises de fournir des armes aux paramilitaires ». Commentaire du journal : ces fournitures de matériels militaires « posent questions concernant le gouvernement britannique et son rôle potentiel dans l'alimentation du conflit ». « Ces vieillards qui s'accrochent au pouvoir… » Enfin, on reste en Afrique avec cet éditorial du Washington Post sur ces « dirigeants africains vieillissants qui s'accrochent au pouvoir sur un continent jeune : l'Afrique a un problème encore pire que les États-Unis, pointe le journal, avec des politiciens vieillissants qui ne veulent pas lâcher prise ». On aura compris le sous-entendu… Le Post cible le Camerounais Paul Biya qui vient de se faire réélire pour un 8e mandat. « Le qualifier de "vainqueur" est une affirmation généreuse, relève le journal, car l'élection a très probablement été truquée. (…) L'Afrique reste dominée par des vieillards, déconnectés depuis longtemps des préoccupations populaires, déplore le Washington Post. Déjà chef d'État le plus âgé du monde, Biya aura presque 100 ans s'il termine son huitième mandat. Le président du Togo a 86 ans, celui du Malawi 85 et celui de la Côte d'Ivoire 83. Cette gérontocratie crée un climat explosif, conclut le quotidien américain, qui ne peut qu'entrainer de futurs conflits ».

L'armée soudanaise (SAF) a officiellement reconnu son retrait de la ville stratégique d'El-Fasher, dans le nord du Darfour, après dix-huit mois de siège mené par les Forces de soutien rapide (RSF). Cette décision, confirmée par le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan à la télévision nationale, marque un point de bascule dans une guerre qui a déjà fait des dizaines de milliers de morts et provoqué le déplacement de plus de douze millions de civils.

Rachel Maddow points out the exceptional and unusually effusive praise and thanks that Donald Trump heaped on Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the president of Egypt, at an event tied to the Israel-Gaza ceasefire, in which Trump bizarrely mentioned his race against Hillary Clinton. The episode calls to mind a mysterious $10 million and a related investigation's questions left open-ended after Trump was inaugurated the first time.Rachel Maddow looks at recent examples of Donald Trump using the power of American taxpayers to cut deals for himself and his friends and family, and focuses on the especially galling case of Trump and his Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, sending an extraordinary $20 billion to bail out Argentina at a time when the U.S. government is closed for lack of funding.Rachel Maddow reports that the number of events planned for the "No Kings" day of protest on Saturday, October 18 already exceeds the previous "No Kings" protests that drew millions of Americans to voice their opposition to Donald Trump's overreach and attacks on democracy in the United States. Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, joins to discuss the planning and organizing taking place.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Este lunes, 13 de octubre de 2025, quedará marcado en el calendario por la consolidación de un alto el fuego en Gaza. Durante la jornada se han reunido en la ciudad balneario de Sharm el Sheij, en Egipto, más de veinte líderes mundiales para presenciar la firma de un acuerdo presidido por el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, y su anfitrión, Abdel Fattah al Sisi. En el 24 horas, de RNE, ponemos el foco en esta noticia y analizamos el acuerdo con Ignacio Álvarez-Ossorio, catedrático de Estudios Árabes e Islámicos en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.Álvarez-Ossorio ha considerado que la paz en Gaza "es muy precaria" y ha incidido en que "no ha tenido en cuenta las reivindicaciones palestinas", ya que "el actor palestino no ha estado representado en las negociaciones". Además, ha apuntado que "no hay un horizonte político para la solución de los dos Estados; es decir, en ningún momento se menciona que al final del camino habrá un Estado palestino". Por ello, ha advertido de que, hasta que eso no ocurra, "difícilmente se va a solucionar definitivamente la crisis" y ha opinado que Israel "cada vez está más aislado en la escena internacional".Sobre cómo sale Netanyahu de este acuerdo, el catedrático ha explicado que "por una parte sale fortalecido, porque ha conseguido prácticamente la mayor parte de los objetivos que se había cifrado" y por otra "ha salido perdedor porque no ha culminado su proyecto de expulsión masiva de limpieza étnica".

Oggi, a Sharm el-Sheikh, andrà in scena la liturgia della “pace”: tavolo lucido, bandiere allineate, firme che scivolano sul foglio. È un cessate il fuoco vestito da trattato, senza una riga sulla giustizia. Chi sale sul palco ha parlato di camion, cantieri, governance; nessuno ha chiesto tribunali, prove, responsabilità. Donald Trump rivendica una «nuova Gaza» fatta di infrastrutture e «600 camion al giorno» di aiuti. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi insiste sulla «stabilizzazione» e sulla ricostruzione immediata con una presenza internazionale. Giorgia Meloni ringrazia Trump e annuncia che l'Italia «è pronta a contribuire a stabilizzazione, ricostruzione e sviluppo». Keir Starmer parla di «implementare senza ritardi» e di far entrare gli aiuti. Emmanuel Macron evoca una «forza di stabilizzazione» e una Autorità Palestinese riformata. Tutti dicono “prima i lavori”. Nessuno dice: prima i processi. Sul tavolo non c'è l'accertamento dei crimini di guerra, non c'è la cooperazione con la Corte penale internazionale, non c'è il nome dei responsabili. C'è un manuale di project management: rimozione macerie, corridoi logistici, porti e aeroporto, il lessico delle grandi opere che arriva sempre un minuto prima della verità. Gaza intanto conta i morti, i mutilati, le case spianate, i campi bruciati. Il ritorno dei profughi avviene tra cumuli e promesse. La «pace» presentata oggi non restituisce le vite, non ripara le colpe, non riconosce la vittima. È un condono politico ed economico calato dall'alto su un popolo a cui si chiede di ripartire senza giustizia. Finché la giustizia resta fuori dalla sala, quella firma resta una scenografia. Tutti gli occhi su Gaza. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Donald Trump just made a dramatic claim aboard Air Force One: “The war in Gaza is over.” The US President is flying to the Middle East, first stopping in Israel to address parliament, then co-hosting a peace summit in Egypt with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. His peace deal's first step — Hamas frees all Israeli hostages from the October 7 attack, while Israel releases 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and allows aid into Gaza. Netanyahu called it a “victory,” though he warned the fight isn't done. World leaders, including Modi's envoy Kirti Vardhan Singh, will join the summit, signaling a potential end to one of the deadliest modern conflicts that's killed over 67,000 in Gaza. Meanwhile, diplomacy's getting a reboot elsewhere. Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand landed in New Delhi to “hit reset” on strained India-Canada ties. This marks the first official visit under new PM Mark Carney. She'll meet Jaishankar, Piyush Goyal, and key business leaders in Mumbai before heading to China and Singapore — part of Canada's Indo-Pacific push to rebuild strategic partnerships. In Kabul's shadow, Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi faced tough questions from women journalists after earlier barring them. His response — it was a “technical issue” — didn't land well. The optics? A regime still struggling to convince the world it respects women's rights. And in markets, gold and silver are on fire. Silver neared $51 an ounce, gold hit $4,060, and traders are literally flying silver bars across the Atlantic. A mix of short squeezes, Fed cuts, and US-China tensions has sent precious metals soaring up to 80% this year.

La cérémonie officielle de l'accord de paix pour Gaza est prévue ce lundi dans la station balnéaire égyptienne de Charm el-Cheikh. L'événement a réuni le président américain Donald Trump, le président égyptien Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, ainsi que des représentants israéliens et palestiniens. Cet accord met officiellement fin à onze mois de conflit et prévoit la mise en place d'une autorité internationale chargée d'administrer la bande de Gaza pendant une période de transition.

O Hamas libertou esta segunda-feira, 13 de Outubro, todos os reféns israelitas vivos da Faixa de Gaza. Em contrapartida, Israel compromete-se a libertar cerca de 2 mil prisioneiros palestinianos. A operação resulta de um acordo que pretende acabar com dois anos de guerra na Faixa de Gaza e acontece no mesmo dia em que decorre, em Charm el-Cheikh, no Egipto, a cimeira internacional dedicada ao futuro de Gaza, co-presidida pelo chefe de Estado egípcio, Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, e o homólogo norte-americano, Donald Trump. Em entrevista à RFI, Vítor Gabriel Oliveira, analista político e secretário-geral da Associação para o Desenvolvimento Económico e Social da Europa, admite que se trata de um dia importante para ambos os lados, defendendo que a paz continua a ser um grande desafio. O que representa esta troca de reféns e prisioneiros para a paz entre Israel e Gaza? É enorme, porque era um dia esperado há bastante tempo. Neste momento, o que temos de perceber é o que será um Estado palestiniano nos próximos meses e, depois, nos próximos anos. Qual é a perspectiva que o Estado palestiniano quer realizar? E as relações que irá ter com Israel? Mas também perceber qual é a perspectiva e qual é a expectativa de Israel, nomeadamente em relação ao Hamas. Israel veio dizer que os prisioneiros palestinianos seriam libertados a partir do momento em que todos os reféns estivessem em território israelita. É quase como se a vida dos israelitas tivesse mais importância do que a vida dos palestinianos? Trata-se de uma questão de grau de confiabilidade. Aliás, o Hamas disse várias vezes que cumpriria o acordo e depois acabou por não libertar a totalidade dos reféns. E Israel continua a atacar Gaza… Sim, continua a atacar Gaza. Esta troca resulta de um plano de Donald Trump para Gaza. A seu ver, este plano tem condições para continuar? Temos de perceber aquilo que foram as pressões diplomáticas a nível internacional, nomeadamente no reconhecimento do Estado da Palestina. Uma das premissas era que o Hamas, reconhecido como um grupo terrorista, não faria parte do futuro do Estado da Palestina. Porém, o Hamas quer participar nesse futuro e não se conhece um calendário sobre a questão da entrega de armas, se isso acontecerá na totalidade ou não. Há também, dentro do Hamas, líderes que não vêem isso com bons olhos. O Hamas disse este fim-de-semana que está fora de questão depor as armas. O que isto implica concretamente? Numa negociação diplomática, tem de haver elementos de intercessão. Esses elementos de intercessão passam por haver mais fiabilidade de forma a permitir que um acordo favorável possa vir a ser respeitado. Se os Estados Unidos e os parceiros internacionais para o reconhecimento do Estado palestiniano puseram como condição que o Hamas não participe no futuro do Estado da Palestina, mas o Hamas não depõe as armas, então voltamos a Israel, que diz: "Nós só entregamos os reféns palestinianos quando nos entregarem a totalidade", ou seja, um grau de desconfiança de parte a parte. Primeiro, porque o Hamas, no dia 7 de Outubro, fez o atentado terrorista dentro de Israel. Depois, porque Israel defende-se, perante o direito internacional, numa primeira fase, e depois ultrapassa largamente as linhas vermelhas. Benjamin Netanyahu ultrapassou várias linhas vermelhas. Isso, claro, para todos. Talvez pela pressão que teve dentro do governo, apoiado por partidos de extrema-direita. Aqui, o elemento diferenciador é o Presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, que é realmente a pessoa com mais proximidade de Netanyahu e com mais poder sobre o primeiro-ministro israelita. O Hamas diz que está fora de questão desarmar-se e Israel diz que, se isso não acontecer, voltará a atacar Gaza. É real a possibilidade de Israel voltar a atacar Gaza? Com aquilo que me está a dizer, acho que é fácil de prever que sim. Se me pergunta se é justa ou não, numa guerra perde-se o significado de parte a parte, quando se passam todas as linhas vermelhas, tanto de um lado como do outro. Se uma parte dos países que reconheceram o Estado da Palestina colocou como condição a não interferência do Hamas e a deposição das armas e o Hamas diz que não, o Estado de Israel não pode conviver ao lado de uma organização terrorista que o pode atacar a qualquer momento. Quando se fala da governação de Gaza, fala-se da Autoridade Palestiniana. Que legitimidade tem esta entidade para governar Gaza, quando se sabe que há muitos palestinianos que continuam do lado do Hamas? Temos de começar por algum lado. Isso é a primeira questão. Neste momento, fala-se de uma força de paz internacional, com alguns países da região e com outros fora do Médio Oriente, que possam ter forças de paz nessa região. Não se sabe ainda, está-se a construir a solução de governo, de liderança. Falava-se que essa força poderia contar com Tony Blair [antigo primeiro-ministro britânico]. Um nome que foi, desde logo, criticado… É preciso ir ajustando. A administração americana tem estado a fazer o trabalho possível. Não é fácil para quem defende Israel ou quem defende o lado palestiniano. Aqui são fundamentais as intercessões e as cedências de parte a parte. Só assim se poderá resolver uma questão destas. É impossível, e tem de haver bons intermediários. Sabemos que o Egipto, o Qatar e outros intermediários estão a fazer o seu trabalho. E a Turquia… E a Turquia também teve um grande papel. Mas é importante perceber que isso leva a um aumento da confiança. Se realmente Donald Trump conseguir a pacificação naquela região, leva a um aumento da confiança entre o mundo ocidental, liderado pelos Estados Unidos, e o mundo árabe. Isso é importante para a paz a nível mundial e para a paz naquela região. É isso que está em cima da mesa na cimeira internacional dedicada ao futuro de Gaza, que decorre em Charm el-Cheikh, no Egipto, e que conta com a presença de Donald Trump e com uma série de líderes mundiais. Acredita que a paz está hoje mais próxima? Neste momento existem várias desconfianças. O Hamas diz que não vai depor as armas e Israel garante que, nesse cenário, voltará a atacar Gaza. Isto é um choque directo e leva-nos a antever que, assim que os reféns israelitas forem entregues e depois forem cumpridas as entregas dos palestinianos, poderemos partir para um novo conflito. Nesta cimeira, Donald Trump terá que conseguir evitar esse cenário. Muitos dos países que estão à volta de Israel não reconhecem o Estado de Israel. E uma das condições do plano de Gaza passa também pelo reconhecimento, por parte desses países, e o Estado palestiniano tem que reconhecer o Estado de Israel. Mas para isso precisa de haver um Estado da Palestina… A Turquia não classifica o Hamas como um grupo terrorista. Este posicionamento pode trazer implicações para estas negociações? Numa negociação, quando há intermediários, tem de haver intermediários que estão mais próximos ou menos próximos. A Turquia, ao não classificar o Hamas como um grupo terrorista, consegue mais facilmente estar do lado do Hamas e criar condições para abrir canais comunicantes, conseguindo negociar com os líderes do Hamas. Alguns deles não estão sequer em Gaza. Estão nos outros países à volta, como o Qatar. A ausência de Israel e do Hamas nesta reunião pode ser visto como um sinal negativo para o sucesso desta cimeira? Não acredito que o Hamas e Israel não tenham, pelo menos, representantes indirectos. Não é possível ter a certeza de que o acordo vai resultar. Portanto, é preciso fazer um jogo de parte a parte até chegar ao caminho final de intercessão.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi describes the negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh as “very encouraging” and invites U.S. President Donald Trump to attend a possible signing ceremony if an agreement is reached.

As efforts continue to resolve Israel's war in Gaza, the conflict is threatening to destabilise the wider region. A rare joint naval exercise between once-rivals Turkey and Egypt is being seen as a warning to Israel, as long-standing alliances shift and new rival partnerships take shape across the Eastern Mediterranean. After a 13-year break, Turkish and Egyptian warships last week carried out a major naval drill in the Eastern Mediterranean. The exercise is the latest step in repairing ties after years of tension that began when Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted Mohamed Morsi, a close ally of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “It marks the consolidation of the improvement in relations,” said Serhat Guvenc, professor of international relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, adding the drill sent “a powerful message to Israel of a new alignment”. Guvenc said naval drills in the eastern Mediterranean have typically involved Cyprus, Greece and Israel, but this time Egypt broke with those countries, signalling it was no longer part of the anti-Turkey camp in the region. Erdogan's Washington visit exposes limits of his rapport with Trump Shift in alliances The Turkish-Egyptian exercise follows years in which Cairo built strong ties with Ankara's rivals in the region. The shift has not gone unnoticed in Israel. “Definitely, this is a major event that Turkey and Egypt have conducted a naval exercise after so many years,” said Gallia Lindenstrauss, an Israeli foreign policy specialist at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. The joint drill comes as Ankara has expanded and modernised its navy in recent years. Lindenstrauss said this has unsettled some of Turkey's neighbours, giving Israel common ground with Greece and Cyprus. “Some of them also have quite big disputes with Turkey, such as Cyprus and Greece,” she said. “Greece and Cyprus relations with Israel have been developing since 2010. We've seen a lot of military drills together. We saw weapons procurements between the three actors, and this has been going on for some time. So Israel is not alone.” Turkey has long-standing territorial disputes with Greece and the Greek Cypriot government in the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Guvenc said Israel has gained the upper hand over Turkey in their rivalry centred on Cyprus. "The Greek Cypriots acquired a very important air defence system from Israel and activated it. They made life far more difficult for the Turkish military, in particular for the Turkish Air Force," he said. "This gives you an idea about the shifting balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean as a result of Israel taking sides with Cyprus and Greece." Macron and Erdogan find fragile common ground amid battle for influence Tensions over Gaza Despite those rivalries, Turkey and Egypt are finding common ground in their opposition to Israel's war in Gaza and in wider concerns over Israel's growing regional power. In September, Sisi reportedly called Israel an enemy. “There is competition over who is the most dominant and important actor in the Middle East, in the Muslim world in general,” said Lindenstrauss. “I really can't imagine a unified Turkish and Egyptian action against Israel. I can imagine them cooperating to pressure Israel to change its position, which is what is happening now.” Cairo and Ankara remain at odds over Libya, where they back rival governments. But analysts warn that the fallout from the Gaza conflict is increasingly shaping the region's power calculations. Guvenc said the outcome of peace efforts could determine the future balance in the Mediterranean. “We see an alignment of Greece, Greek Cypriots and Israel. But once the Gaza issue is tackled, from an Israeli perspective, Turkey is strategically more important than these two countries,” he said. “But if the strategic makeup of the region may not secure a solution, we may see deterioration in the general situation. Then outside actors will be invited by one side or the other, such as Russia, China or even India, to further complicate the issue.”

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 240-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 26,121 on turnover of 9.8-billion N-T. The market closed at another record high on Monday, rising more than 300 points, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing hit a record high on the back of ample (充足) liquidity. Land warnings for Super Typhoon Ragasa lifted The Central Weather Administration has lifted its land warning for Super Typhoon Ragasa. The weather administration is expected to lift its sea warning this evening at the earliest. Ragasa is continuing to move in a westerly direction into the South China Sea. However, rain advisories remain in effect for much of the island. Extremely torrential rain warnings have been issued for mountainous areas of Hualien and Taitung. Torrential rain alerts are in effect for lowlying areas of Hualien and Taitung as well as for mountainous areas (多山，山區) of Kaohsiung and Pingtung. While extremely heavy rain alerts are in effect for all of Yilan, lowlying areas of Pingtung as well as for mountainous areas of New Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung and Nantou. All of those rain advisories are currently expected to be be effect through tonight. Taipei-Shanghai City Forum postponed The Taipei City Government has announced that this week's Taipei-Shanghai City Forum will not take place as scheduled due to "unresolved details." According to the city government, both sides have agreed that the annual forum should be well-prepared rather than rushed. City Hall is still working on two memoranda of understanding with the central government and its Shanghai counterpart. Deputy Mayor Lin Yi-hua says the city government sent those M-O-Us to the central government about a month ago to comply (遵守) with regulations. One is still awaiting approval from several agencies, while details of the other are still under negotiation.

He and five other prisoners had been pardoned Monday after the National Council for Human Rights acted on behalf of their families and urged President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to consider (考慮) the prisoners' situation on humanitarian grounds. His campaign said el-Fattah was released after being imprisoned almost all of the past 12 years and was now in his home in Cairo.

This September marks eight years since Donald Trump cozied up to pariah dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt on the sidelines of the United Nations—a secret meeting that reportedly triggered a highly secretive Mueller investigation into whether Trump accepted a $10 million bribe from el-Sisi when his 2016 campaign was desperate for cash. Last summer, Gaslit Nation ran a special episode unpacking this sweeping corruption scandal; you can read a summary here and listen to the episode here. Fast forward to Trump's Middle East tour this past spring, where he once again explicitly told the world that American foreign policy under his influence isn't about democracy or the rule of law: it's about making deals that just so happen to enrich him and his family.  Joining Gaslit Nation to explain what Trump's fire sale of influence to the highest bidder means for the Middle East and us here at home is Ahmed Gatnash, co-founder and Executive Director of the Kawaakibi Foundation, a powerhouse MENA human rights organization, and co-author of The Middle East Crisis Factory. Gatnash brings a razor-sharp analysis of Russia's expanding grip on the Middle East, the unbreakable spirit of the Syrian people fighting for freedom, and the surprising ways bitcoin is being used as a lifeline for human rights activists who know how to navigate its pitfalls. He also tears into the so-called “two-state solution”—overwhelmingly voted on by the United Nations last week—as nothing more than political theater, and shares his vision of what Palestinians and Israelis truly need to secure real, lasting peace.

De Egyptische president Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi noemde het optreden van Israël vorige maand voor het eerst openlijk ‘genocide'. Zijn minister van Buitenlandse Zaken sprak zich enkele dagen geleden fel uit tegen de verdrijving van Palestijnen uit Gaza-Stad. Maar in diezelfde periode sloot Egypte ook een gasdeal van 35 miljard dollar met Israël. Hoe kan dat samen gaan? En wat betekent dit voor Egypte's rol als bemiddelaar in de oorlog én voor de stemming onder de Egyptische bevolking? Jan bespreekt het met egypte-expert Omar Ghaly. 

Une rencontre secrète a eu lieu, lundi 11 août, en Suisse, à Zurich, entre le chef de l'armée soudanaise, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et l'émissaire américain pour l'Afrique, Massad Boulos. La rencontre a duré trois heures selon le gouvernement soudanais. Elle portait sur le plan américain pour un cessez-le-feu global au Soudan ainsi que sur l'acheminement d'une aide humanitaire, particulièrement vers el-Fasher, la capitale du Darfour nord assiégée par les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide. Le chercheur Roland Marchal revient sur la position de la diplomatie américaine et sur ces nouveaux efforts pour tenter de négocier une sortie à la crise soudanaise. RFI : Qu'est-ce qu'on sait de ce plan pour un cessez-le-feu global qui aurait donc été proposé par les États-Unis lors de cette rencontre ? D'abord, les discussions ont eu lieu avec une seule des deux parties en l'occurrence avec le général al-Burhan, qui est le chef de l'armée soudanaise. On ne sait pas si d'autres discussions ont lieu parallèlement ou vont avoir lieu avec les Forces de soutien rapide commandées par le général Hemedti. Ce qu'on pense savoir, c'est que la diplomatie américaine s'efforce de faciliter l'accès humanitaire et qu'il y a à faire des deux côtés. C'est-à-dire que l'accès humanitaire est freiné tant du côté des RSF que du côté de l'armée soudanaise. Et donc il faut lever toute une série d'obstacles pseudo bureaucratiques pour permettre à l'aide d'arriver là où elle doit arriver. Le deuxième problème, c'est évidemment quel type de cessez-le-feu et de relance politique peut avoir lieu. Les renseignements qu'on a aujourd'hui sur la réunion ne permettent pas d'éclairer ça très bien. On sait que le général al-Burhan va sans doute défendre une exclusion totale des FSR et sans doute le jugement d'Hemedti et de tous ceux qui lui ont été le plus proche. Mais il est sûr que dans des discussions confidentielles, le général al-Burhan peut dessiner une voie qui n'a pas encore été empruntée jusqu'à présent. Et pourquoi a-t-il accepté cette fois-ci de rencontrer les Américains ? Est-ce que ça s'explique notamment par les avancées du coup des forces soudanaises sur le terrain ? Oui et non. Oui, évidemment, le gouvernement soudanais n'est plus dans la position de faiblesse dans laquelle il était il y a un an. Mais d'un autre côté aussi, il y a des critiques de plus en plus fortes qui sont exprimées vis-à-vis du général al-Burhan. Il y a des sanctions parce qu'apparemment, des armes chimiques auraient été utilisées par l'armée soudanaise contre les populations. Et puis d'autre part aussi parce que, au moins d'un point de vue militaire, on est tout à fait conscient que d'un côté comme de l'autre, il y a une escalade dans la technologie qui est utilisée et qu'il va falloir autre chose que simplement une supériorité militaire pour régler ce conflit. Et puis aussi, il y a une inquiétude, peut-être que le général al-Burhan a peut être une inquiétude vis-à-vis de ses propres troupes, le fait que le contrôle des milices est quand même difficile, et donc c'est peut-être aussi un bon moment pour lui d'essayer de marquer des points diplomatiquement en soulignant combien les preuves contre les Forces de soutien rapide sont multiples concernant l'assassinat de civils, des massacres de masse, etc. Mais est-ce qu'il n'y a pas des contreparties qui pourraient être demandées au général al-Burhan, comme par exemple son départ ou la mise en place d'un gouvernement civil ? On ne sait pas réellement quelle est l'expertise dont se prévaut l'envoyé américain Massad Boulos. Donc on ne sait pas si ce sont des discussions à haut vol, sans entrer dans des détails, ou si l'envoyé spécial américain a une vision extrêmement précise des forces en présence, se souvient qu'il y a des forces civiles qui se sont opposées à Omar el-Béchir en 2019, et également des forces civiles qui aspirent à gouverner, qui aspirent à un changement. Donc, la question est de savoir si les Américains vont se contenter finalement d'une négociation avec les deux parties armées, ou est-ce qu'ils iront beaucoup plus loin. Sur un véritable régime civil de transition qui inclura ou n'inclura pas des personnalités proches des deux parties combattantes aujourd'hui. Est-ce qu'avec ces discussions, on peut espérer que l'aide humanitaire circule mieux au Soudan et plus particulièrement vers El Fasher, la capitale du Darfour-Nord ? Du côté du gouvernement soudanais, les choses sont à la fois plus simples puisqu'il y a une autorité, il y a une chaîne de commandement et plus compliqué parce qu'il y a la chaîne de commandement de l'armée, mais il y a aussi beaucoup de milices qui sont sur les routes, qui ont leur propre check-point. C'est un véritable chemin kafkaïen pour obtenir toutes les autorisations pour les Nations unies de quitter Port-Soudan, où l'aide humanitaire arrive pour l'envoyer dans des lieux qui sont, il faut le rappeler, pour certains, contrôlés par le gouvernement, puis pour d'autres endroits qui sont plus sympathisantes des Forces de soutien rapide, et dans ce cas-là, il y a des oppositions très fortes qui se manifestent. L'envoyé spécial américain peut trouver des moyens et des arguments pour convaincre le général al-Burhan d'agir de façon un peu plus déterminée, de faire respecter la chaîne de commandement, puisqu'il prétend être le gouvernement. Ce sera sans doute beaucoup plus compliqué du point de vue des Forces de soutien rapide, dans la mesure où, s'il y a l'image d'un commandement central, il y a quand même une très grande faiblesse de la chaîne de commandement, ce qui fait que les milices sur le terrain peuvent établir des check-points et n'en ont rien à faire des papiers, fussent-ils signés par Hemedti ou son frère.

Turkey and Italy are working more closely on migration, energy and regional influence as they seek to shape Libya's political future. Both see the North African country as a key shared interest and are moving to consolidate their positions in the conflict-torn but energy-rich eastern Mediterranean. Earlier this month, the leaders of Italy, Turkey and Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA) met in a tripartite summit – the latest sign of growing cooperation between the three Mediterranean nations. “Turkey and Italy have both differing interests, but interests in Libya,” explains international relations professor Huseyin Bagcı of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Particularly, the migration issue and illegal human trafficking are big problems for Italy, and most of the people are coming from there [Libya], so they try to prevent the flow of migrants. "But for Turkey, it's more economic. And Libya is very much interested in keeping the relations with both countries.” Turkey and Italy consider teaming up to seek new influence in Africa Migration, legitimacy concerns Turkey is the main backer of Libya's GNA and still provides military assistance, which was decisive in defeating the rival eastern-based forces led by strongman Khalifa Haftar. An uneasy ceasefire holds between the two sides. Libya security analyst Aya Burweilla said Turkey is seeking Italy's support to legitimise the Tripoli government, as questions grow over its democratic record. “What it means for the Tripoli regime is very positive. This is a regime that has dodged elections for years," she says. "Their job was to have democratic elections, and one of their ways to make sure they stay in power was to get foreign sponsors, like Turkey... Now, with this rubber stamp from Meloni in Italy, they can keep the status quo going at the expense of Libyans.” Years of civil war and political chaos have turned Libya into a major hub for people smugglers. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, elected on a pledge to curb irregular migration, sees stability in Libya as key to that goal. “The migration issue has become very, very urgent in general for Europe, but of course for Italy too,” says Alessia Chiriatti of the Institute of International Affairs, a think tank in Rome. Trump and Erdogan grow closer as cooperation on Syria deepens Mediterranean ambitions Chiriatti said Meloni's partnership with Turkey in Libya also reflects broader foreign policy goals. “There is another dimension – I think it's directly related to the fact that Italy and Meloni's government want to play a different role in foreign policy in the Mediterranean space," she says. "Italy is starting to see Africa as a possible partner to invest in … But what is important is that Italy is starting to see itself as a new player, both in the Mediterranean space and in Africa, so in this sense, it could have important cooperation with Turkey.” She points out that both Italy and Turkey share a colonial past in Libya. That legacy, combined with the lure of Libya's vast energy reserves, continues to shape their diplomacy. Ending the split between Libya's rival governments is seen as vital for stability. Moscow's reduced military support for Haftar, as it focuses on its war in Ukraine, is viewed in Ankara as an opening. “Russia is nearly out, and what remains are Turkey and Italy,” says Bagcı. He added that Ankara is making overtures to the eastern authorities through Haftar's son Saddam, a senior figure in the Libyan military. “The son of Haftar is coming very often to Ankara, making talks. It's an indication of potential changes... But how the deal will look like I don't know, we will see later. But it's an indication of potential cooperation, definitely.” Turkey steps into EU defence plans as bloc eyes independence from US Shifting alliances Libya was discussed when Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Saturday. Sisi backs Haftar's eastern government. Libya had been a source of tension between Turkey and Egypt, but with relations thawing, both say they will work together on the country's future. Turkey's position in Libya is strengthening, says Burweilla. “Saddam is pro-Turkey – there is a huge difference between son and father – and the younger generation is pro-Turkey,” she says. Such support, Burweilla said, stems from Ankara allowing Libyans to seek sanctuary in Turkey from fighting in 2011, when NATO forces led by France and the United Kingdom militarily intervened against Muammar Gaddafi's regime. “I think the Europeans underestimated the political capital that gave Turkey. Turkey is winning the game in Libya,” Burweilla says. She adds that Ankara's rising influence is also due to a shift in tactics towards the east. “What they [Ankara] realised was that you can't conquer the east of Libya by force; they tried and they failed. And the Turkish regime is very much motivated by business... They don't care about anything else, and they've realised they want to make a business," Burweilla says. They've reached out more to the east, and the east, in turn, has realised that if they don't want to be attacked by Turkey and its mercenaries, they need to make peace with Turkey as well.”

Resch, Christopher www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

How much have the Trumps made since returning to power? According to The New York Times, a staggering $2 billion in the last month alone. From Russia to the Middle East, the Trumps have long cultivated ties with the global oligarchy, welcoming support from some of the world's most repressive regimes to gain power in 2016 and, now, to enrich themselves. You've likely heard about the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russian operatives. And perhaps you know about Trump's covert meeting with sanctioned Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during the UN General Assembly that September. But what about the August 2016 Trump Tower meeting involving the Trump campaign and envoys from several Middle Eastern dictatorships? In this week's bonus episode, we revisit the explosive 2018 reporting that detailed this secretive gathering, now more relevant than ever as Trump embarks on what can only be described as a Middle East cash-grab tour. Among the key figures: convicted pedophile and Trump ally George Nader, and Joel Zamel, an Israeli operative with links to Russian intelligence and expertise in digital influence warfare. To help make sense of the chaos, and chart a path through it, we continue our conversation with Olga Lautman, a leading expert on the Russian mafia and transnational kleptocracy. It's a deep dive into how the oligarchy operates, and how we resist it. Thank you to everyone who supports Gaslit Nation–we could not make this show without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, deux reportages consacrés à la guerre qui sévit depuis trois ans au Soudan. En deuxième partie, nous sommes dans l'est du Tchad, des centaines de milliers de Soudanais s'y sont réfugiés depuis le début du conflit. Mais pour commencer, c'est bien au Soudan en guerre que l'on retrouve notre envoyée spéciale.  À Khartoum : la guerre et le chaosAu Soudan, la guerre est entrée dans sa troisième année. Trois ans que s'affrontent l'armée du général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et les Forces de soutien rapide, des paramilitaires dirigés par le général Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, alias Hemedti. Aujourd'hui, le Soudan est divisé en deux : l'armée domine le nord et l'est, tandis que le sud-ouest, avec notamment l'immense région du Darfour, est aux mains des FSR. La guerre au Soudan est considérée par l'ONU comme la plus grave crise humanitaire du moment. 13 millions de Soudanais ont fui les conflits. Aujourd'hui, certains tentent de rentrer chez eux, mais ne trouvent que désolation.Un Grand reportage de Gaëlle Laleix qui s'entretient avec François Ballarin.Survivre dans les camps de réfugiés soudanais de l'est tchadienNous partons pour l'est du Tchad, terre d'accueil de centaines de milliers de réfugiés soudanais. Ils ont fui cette guerre interne qui fait rage depuis le 15 avril 2023 au Soudan. À cette date, les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) menées par le général « Hemedti » se soulèvent contre l'armée régulière soudanaise du général al-Buhran. Les FSR, majoritairement composées de milices arabes janjawid, la garde prétorienne de l'ex-président Omar el-Béchir, déchaînent leur violence au Darfour où elles sont actives depuis plusieurs décennies. 775 000 Soudanais ont fui vers le Tchad voisin : en grande majorité des femmes et des enfants Masalit, une communauté non arabe du Darfour.Un Grand reportage de Victor Mauriat qui s'entretient avec François Ballarin.

Des dizaines de milliers de morts, plus de 12 millions de déplacés, une crise humanitaire majeure. Après deux ans de guerre au Soudan, nous répondons à toutes vos questions pour mieux comprendre ce conflit qui oppose le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, chef de l'armée régulière, à Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, chef des paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide. Avec Jérôme Tubiana, chercheur spécialiste du Soudan, conseiller de l'ONG Médecins sans frontières.

La guerre au Soudan a fait « 13 millions de déplacés et réfugiés » en deux ans. Alors que le Soudan, troisième plus grand pays d'Afrique en superficie, est déchiré depuis avril 2023 par un sanglant conflit entre l'armée du général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, dirigeant de facto du pays depuis un coup d'État en 2021, et les forces de son ex-adjoint, le général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo. Le Haut Commissariat aux réfugiés s'alarme des conséquences régionales de cette guerre civile, avec chaque jour plus de déplacés. Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde, directeur régional du HCR pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre répond aux questions de Léa-Lisa Westerhoff. RFI :  Deux ans après le début du conflit au Soudan, la violence a encore franchi un cap ce week-end au Darfour avec l'attaque et la prise du camp de déplacés de Zamzam. 13 millions de personnes déplacées de force à l'intérieur du pays comme au-delà des frontières. En tant que directeur régional du Haut-Commissariat aux réfugiés pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, comment est-ce que vous qualifiez cette crise ? Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde : D'abord, c'est de dire que c'est une crise humanitaire aiguë. C'est la pire crise humanitaire au monde après Gaza. Mais malheureusement, on n'en parle pas assez. Et je pense que justement, à deux ans du rappel du début de cette crise, c'est important que vous puissiez nous donner cette opportunité de souligner les conséquences de cette crise et d'appeler les uns les autres à réellement trouver une solution politique à l'intérieur du Soudan.Vous rentrez du Tchad où vous vous êtes rendu la semaine dernière. Ce pays frontalier joue un rôle particulier dans la guerre civile. Quelles répercussions la guerre civile a-t-elle sur le Tchad ? Une des conséquences immédiates, c'est que les populations, elles vont chercher un lieu de refuge. Et le lieu de refuge le plus près, pour certaines d'entre elles, c'est le Tchad. Et on a pu voir des populations arriver, qui continuent d'arriver et certaines viennent même depuis Khartoum et qui ont traversé donc des conditions vraiment difficiles. Et depuis avril 2023, le Tchad a déjà reçu près de 800 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais. Et cette année, le Tchad a déjà reçu 50 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais depuis le début d'année. Et malheureusement, nous nous attendons avec ces attaques auxquelles vous faites allusion, à davantage d'arrivées. Donc vous voyez, pour un pays fragile comme le Tchad, avec une population de 17 millions d'habitants, sans oublier d'autres réfugiés présents sur le territoire, les réfugiés nigérians qui sont là dans la région du lac Tchad et les réfugiés centrafricains et des déplacés internes. C'est extrêmement lourd.Tous les regards sont tournés vers le Darfour. Est-ce que vous craignez que la chute de Khartoum conduise à une aggravation des violences contre les civils dans cette partie ouest du Soudan ? C'est une source de préoccupation dans cette partie ouest du Soudan. Une préoccupation parce que si les combats se rapprochent de la frontière du Tchad, la crainte immédiate, c'est de voir ce que nous appelons en anglais le « spillover », donc un débordement de la crise sur le territoire du Tchad.D'un point de vue régional, quelles conséquences cette crise, ces deux années de guerre civile du Soudan ont-elles sur les pays frontaliers, sur la région ? On a observé des mouvements de populations vers le Tchad. Nous en avons déjà parlé, mais aussi des mouvements de populations vers la Centrafrique. La Centrafrique a déjà accueilli à ce jour à peu près 40 000 Soudanais dans une partie frontalière assez difficile : Birao, Korsi. Mais il n'y a pas que la Centrafrique, il y a aussi l'Égypte, il y a l'Éthiopie, il y a le Sud-Soudan et nous connaissons tous la situation dans laquelle se trouve donc le Sud-Soudan. Et la conséquence, elle va bien au-delà de la région parce que, à la frontière entre le Tchad et le Soudan, nous voyons des populations arriver qui transitent par le Tchad et qui continuent jusqu'en Libye, voire la Tunisie, et qui ont vocation à continuer en Europe. Donc pour nous, ça montre que la conséquence va bien au-delà des pays voisins. Elle va bien au-delà de la région et malheureusement, on voit davantage donc de Soudanais qui essaient d'arriver aux portes européennes.Il y a aussi la question du financement des activités humanitaires. Quel impact la coupure des financements américains a-t-elle sur cette crise au Soudan ? Elle nous contraint à faire des choix extrêmement difficiles. Au Tchad, déjà depuis 2003, nous avions déjà des Soudanais qui étaient là et nous étions en train de travailler à trouver des solutions d'intégration de ces populations. Mais malheureusement, aujourd'hui, avec cette baisse de ressources, nous sommes obligés de nous concentrer sur la réponse d'urgence dans les zones les plus fragiles.Quelle est votre crainte ? Qu'est-ce que vous craignez que ça puisse susciter sur une crise comme celle du Soudan ? La crainte immédiate, c'est de ne pas être en capacité d'apporter la plénitude de réponse. Au niveau global, pour le HCR, les États-Unis contribuent à hauteur de 40% de nos financements, dans la région ils nous accompagnent pour 60%. Mais il n'y a pas que les États-Unis qui ont baissé (leurs contributions). Déjà, pour les besoins immédiats, dans la région Afrique de l'Ouest, Afrique centrale, on parle de 14 millions de déplacés de force. Aujourd'hui dans cette région, 61 % des enfants en âge d'aller à l'école, âgés de 6 à 17 ans sont hors des circuits d'éducation. Donc, comment continuer à prendre en charge ces questions de besoins qui vont bien au-delà de la simple question humanitaire si on n'a pas les ressources adéquates ?

Mannúðarvandi er hvergi meiri en á Gaza og í Súdan. Við förum þangað í Heimskviðum í dag. Helmingur þeirra rúmlega tveggja milljóna sem hafast við á Gaza eru börn. Fleiri en 50 þúsund hafa verið drepin á þeim átján mánuðum sem hafa liðið frá dagsetningunni örlagaríku, 7.október 2023. Greinendur og mannréttindasamtök telja reyndar að mun fleiri séu látin, líklega séu þúsundir líka undir rústunum sem finna má um alla Gaza-ströndina. Fleiri en 15 þúsund hinna látnu eru börn og Gaza er því líklega hættulegasti staður jarðar fyrir börn. Svo förum við til Kartúm, höfuðborgar Súdans, sem var um mánaðamótin frelsuð úr höndum hersveita RSF sem náðu þar yfirráðum 2023. Hershöfðinginn Abdel Fattah al-Burhan hefur síðustu daga farið sigri hrósandi um borgina og sagt að núna sé hún loksins frjáls. Og íbúum sem hafa síðustu mánuði og misseri búið við ofríki og umsátur RSF-sveitanna er létt. En það breytist líklega ekki mikið fyrr en valdasjúkir hershöfðingjar gefa eftir völdin og skref í átt að lýðræði verða tekin. Annars verður bara meira af einræði, ofbeldi og kúgun.

Au Soudan, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et le général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, dit « Hemetti » sont d'accord sur un point : pas de négociations, la guerre doit aller jusqu'au bout. Ces derniers jours, les Forces armées soudanaises du général Burhane ont remporté une victoire importante en chassant les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) du général Hemetti de Khartoum. Pourquoi cette guerre continue-t-elle ? Décryptage avec le chercheur soudanais Suliman Baldo, fondateur du centre de réflexions Sudan Policy and Transparency Tracker. RFI : pourquoi les Forces armées soudanaises ont-elles pris le dessus à Khartoum ?Suliman Baldo : les Forces armées soudanaises ont été sur la défensive depuis le début de la guerre. Elles ont subi beaucoup de revers parce que l'armée soudanaise, au début de la guerre, n'avait pas des troupes, des soldats d'infanterie. L'infanterie de l'armée soudanaise, c'étaient les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR). Mais depuis le mois de septembre 2024, l'armée soudanaise a pu recruter des milliers de volontaires. Et il y a aussi des volontaires islamistes, des brigades djihadistes du mouvement islamiste soudanais qui se sont jointes à l'armée et qui ont été le fer de lance de cette armée dans cette offensive.Alors, les Forces de soutien rapide n'ont pas seulement perdu Khartoum, elles ont dû se retirer aussi de Wad Madani. C'était il y a deux mois, au sud de Khartoum, et elles n'ont pas pu continuer d'assiéger El Obeid, c'est dans le Kordofan, au sud-ouest de Khartoum. Pourquoi cette série de défaites ?La raison principale du côté des Forces de soutien rapide, c'est que c'est une force milicienne. C'est une force de milice Janjawid où la loyauté des combattants est pour leur chef, disons à cause des liens de clan, des liens tribaux. Et sur le terrain, l'armée soudanaise a visé la liquidation des commandants et cela a mené à une situation où les combattants se sont retrouvés sans liens directs avec leurs commandants. Et donc tout cela montre une faiblesse structurelle dans la formation des Forces de soutien rapide.À lire aussiSoudan: suite aux revers des FSR, le centre du pays passe aux mains de l'armée C'est-à-dire qu'en ciblant et en neutralisant les chefs de clans et les chefs de tribus, les Forces armées soudanaises ont affaibli les Forces de soutien rapide ?Elles ont ciblé, disons, les chefs avec ciblage de drones, oui, mais aussi avec infiltration des Forces de soutien rapide. Il y a par exemple Dalaha, c'est l'un des plus récents. C'est quelqu'un qui a été très illustre dans les rangs des Forces d'intervention rapide et sa liquidation a beaucoup affaibli le moral de ces Forces.Et ce chef de guerre, il a été assassiné où ?C'était quelqu'un qui était dans le centre du Soudan, dans la région de la capitale. Et ses combattants disent que c'était un drone qui a visé son véhicule.Son véhicule a été ciblé par un drone ?Voilà, c'est ça !À lire aussiSoudan: les FSR concèdent la perte de Khartoum, leur chef promet de revenir avec «une détermination plus forte»À Wad Madani, au sud de Khartoum, les FSR ont commis des atrocités contre la population. Est-ce que c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles, elles ont perdu le contrôle de cette ville ?Partout, où elles se sont déployées, les Forces de soutien rapide se sont attaquées à la population civile. Dans certains endroits, comme dans l'État de Darfour de l'Ouest, c'était un ciblage ethnique. Pour les Massalits par exemple, c'était des actions génocidaires qu'elles ont commise contre ces populations. Un comportement criminel. Et ce qui fait qu'elles n'avaient pas de soutien au sein de la population. Mais alors, au moment où l'armée soudanaise est arrivée à récupérer Al–Jazirah, et maintenant ça se passe aussi à Khartoum, il y a certaines unités de l'armée soudanaise qui s'adonnent au même type de comportement criminel, c'est-à-dire des escadrons de la mort, qui visent les populations de l'ouest du Soudan, du sud du Soudan, les Noubas par exemple, comme étant des collaborateurs des Forces de soutien rapide, et elles sont en train de les liquider dans des exécutions sommaires devant caméra !Et cela se passe, dites-vous, dans l'État d'El-Jazirah, et notamment dans la ville de Wad Madani, au sud de Khartoum ?Cela se passe aussi maintenant, au moment où on se parle, à Khartoum même. Ces brigades se sont montrées vraiment très systématiques dans la poursuite des soi-disant collaborateurs des Forces de soutien rapide.Malgré sa défaite militaire de Khartoum, le général Hemetti affirme qu'il n'y aura ni retraite ni reddition. Mais est-ce qu'il a les moyens de continuer le combat ?Alors, il y a deux choses, n'est-ce pas, Hemetti a fait ces affirmations, ces menaces, dans son adresse à l'occasion de l'Aïd el-Fitr. Le même jour, Al-Burhan a fait un discours similaire où il a dit : « Pas de négociations, pas de compromis avec les Forces de soutien rapide. On ira dans la guerre jusqu'à la fin ». Donc, les deux belligérants sont vraiment déterminés à continuer la guerre. Est-ce que les Forces de soutien rapide ont la force de continuer la guerre ? Leurs combattants, qui se sont retirés du centre du Soudan, sont intacts et donc les deux belligérants se préparent pour des nouvelles phases de combats.À lire aussiSoudan: une Constitution de transition signée à Nairobi entre les paramilitaires et leurs alliés

Le chef de l'armée soudanaise, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, a affirmé que Khartoum avait été "libérée", après l'annonce plus tôt de la reprise par ses forces de l'aéroport de la capitale, aux mains des paramilitaires. "Khartoum est libérée, c'est terminé", a déclaré depuis le Palais présidentiel le dirigeant de facto du Soudan dans un discours diffusé par la télévision publique. L'armée contrôle à présent l'est et le nord du Soudan.

Nearly two years on, it's back to Khartoum for Sudan's civil war. The forces of junta leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan are ousting those of ally-turned-foe Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo from key points. The leader of the RSF militia can instead point to gains in North Darfur province. We ask why we're seeing these shifting alliances that are redrawing the frontline, whether it's a turning point and whether there's any light at the end of the tunnel for the 12 million people displaced by a fratricide conflict that follows the interruption by coups of a revolution that strived to bring democracy to Sudan after decades of strongman rule. Beyond ethnic cleansing that harks back to the days of the Darfur genocide and the risk of famine in parts, there's also a brewing war of words with neighbours South Sudan and Chad, with the latter's leadership accused by Burhan of facilitating Emirati weapons supplies to the RSF. So which will it be for Sudan: containment or contagion?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Ilayda Habib and Aurore Laborie.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In a surprise move, six living hostages will be released on Saturday, including Israelis Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who have been held by Hamas since entering the Strip on their own in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The other four — Tal Shoham, Omer Shem-Tov, Omer Wenkert, and Eliya Cohen — were kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on southern Israel. Why are six being released versus the agreed-upon three, and why is Hamas offering a much more generous phase 2 deal? Former White House Mideast czar Brett McGurk last week penned his first op-ed since leaving government, taking the opportunity to defend the Biden administration’s handling of the hostage negotiations and insisting that Hamas was consistently the obstacle to an agreement. We hear Magid's thoughts on McGurk's statements, as well as the timing of them. Israel’s envoy to the United States has accused Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi of violating the US-brokered peace deal between Jerusalem and Cairo, profiting from the desperation of Palestinians seeking to flee the Gaza Strip and duplicitously operating to benefit Hamas. This comes as Egypt is working with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar to formulate a day-after plan for Gaza. Magid weighs in.

Egyptian, Jordanian leaders stress 'unity' of positions on Gaza "Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II reaffirmed their united stance on Gaza, emphasising the urgent need for a full ceasefire, continued hostage releases and humanitarian aid. The joint statement came a day after Jordan's king met with US President Donald Trump in Washington. Both leaders also pushed for a swift reconstruction plan for Gaza, opposing Trump's plan, which the US president suggested rooting out Palestinians from their lands." UN warns Israel's genocidal acts in Gaza could be repeated in West Bank "Israel's genocidal acts in Gaza could spread to the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, warns UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Speaking to Anadolu in the Netherlands, she said Israeli attacks have escalated, with 830 Palestinians killed and over 300 detained from October 2023 to October 2024. Many detainees have faced torture, rape and even death in custody, she noted. Albanese condemned unchecked settler violence and urged the world to act: Even if you don't conclude that this is genocide, doesn't matter. There's an obligation to prevent a genocide." Trump says he will likely meet Putin in Saudi Arabia "US President Donald Trump says he will probably meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Saudi Arabia—a step towards ending the Ukraine conflict. ""I'll be dealing with President Putin, largely on the phone, and we ultimately expect to meet. In fact, we expect that he'll come here, and I'll go there, and we're going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia,"" he told reporters in the Oval Office. Trump downplayed Ukraine's NATO membership and cast doubt on its full territorial recovery. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed Trump's interest in achieving peace, insisting that global unity can pressure Russia into ending the war. " North Korea demolishes war reunion center: South Korea "North Korea is tearing down the Mount Kumgang Reunion Center, a site that once brought together families separated by the Korean War. South Korea has condemned the demolition as ""inhumane"" and demands an immediate halt. Since 1988, over 133,600 South Koreans have registered as separated families, yet only a fraction have reunited. As of 2025, around 36,000 are alive, according to official data. The last meeting between the two was in 2018. Pyongyang now labels Seoul a “hostile state.”" NASA warns astronomers about asteroid's updated trajectory "NASA's latest update has astronomers on high alert: Asteroid 2024 YR4, a 90-meter-wide rock, now has a 2.3 percent chance of striking Earth on December 22, 2032. While the risk remains low, the increase from 1.3 percent has sparked renewed focus on its trajectory. Experts assure there is no immediate threat but emphasize the importance of planetary defence. If it were to hit, the asteroid could cause severe seismic activity and regional climate disruptions. Ongoing research and improved tracking methods aim to refine predictions and mitigate potential risks."

Ralph welcomes Constitutional law expert Bruce Fein to analyze Congress' abdication of power in the face of President Trump and Elon Musk's actions to dismantle the federal government, and whether any of it is legal. Then, Ralph is joined by Norman Solomon from RootsAction to discuss the new Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin, and whether we should be optimistic about his agenda for the Democrats.Bruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.What I think shows the clear (what I would call malignant) intent, is even though he has Republican majorities in the House and the Senate, he's never contemplated going back to Congress and saying, "Hey, I want you to do X. I want you to do Y. We need to do this in the proper way."Bruce Fein[Trump's] boogeyman is DEI. So he claims that a crash between a helicopter and airplane in Washington, D.C. is a DEI problem. Of course, it's amazing that somebody who has such contempt for meritocracy with his own cabinet appointments suddenly blames, “Oh, well, DEI, it's watering down standards.” Well, he doesn't have any standards himself, so it's kind of ironic there.Bruce FeinImpeachment is not a criminal prosecution. Impeachment is what Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention said— it's the civilized substitute for tyrannicide…And if you're impeached, it's because you have undertaken attempts to subvert the Constitution so the people no longer view you as a trustworthy steward of our liberties and the rule of law. That's what it is. You don't go to Siberia, you don't go to the guillotine, that's it. And there have been, of course, many federal judges (probably as many as a dozen) who've been impeached, removed from office. And you know what? They still survive. There's not a graveyard of them…So this idea that impeachment is somehow some enormous volcanic eruption on the landscape is totally misleading and wrong.Bruce FeinThere are two informal checkpoints I want to run by you. [Trump] is afraid of the stock market collapsing—and it could well collapse because chaos is the thing that really gets investors and big institutional investors scared. And the second thing he's afraid of is a plunge in the polls, including among Trump voters who represent families that have the same necessities for their children and their neighborhood as liberal families.Ralph NaderNorman Solomon is co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of War Made Easy, Made Love, Got War, and his newest book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.Especially when there's not a Democrat in the White House, the leader of the Democratic Party de facto is often the chair of the Democratic National Committee. And we now, of course, have the Democrats in minority in the House and the Senate. Biden's out of there in the White House. And so, really, it falls to the chair of the DNC to ostensibly at least give direction to the Democratic Party. And we've suffered for the last four years under Jamie Harrison as chair of the DNC, who basically did whatever Biden told him to do, and Biden told him to just praise President Biden. And we saw the result, the enabling process from the DNC was just a disaster for the Democratic Party and the country.Norman SolomonLiterally and figuratively in a sense, there needs to be a tearing down of the walls that have been surrounding the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Activists (thousands of us, really, in recent years) have discovered and rediscovered that the DNC is like a fortress. They have the moat, the drawbridge is locked, and we can't even get inside to have a word in edgewise compared to the lobbyists and those who are running the DNC. This is really just remarkable, how difficult it has been for strong Democratic Party activists, if they're not on the DNC (and even if they are, quite often) to get a word in edgewise for the corporate-oriented so-called leadership of the DNC. That might change now.Norman SolomonAlfred Bridi is a U.S. immigration attorney associated with the law firm Scale LLP who specializes in employment- and family-based immigration law. Prior to joining Scale LLP, he practiced law at major international law firms and also worked with leading international organizations on global migration and transparency issues.These executive orders and these executive actions have really created a tension in terms of enforcement officials trying to understand what these mean; in terms of the judiciary and and legal activists contesting a lot of the foundations and the arguments made; in terms of our legal system and our constitutional rights; and I think more than anything, they have had a signaling effect to ordinary Americans and immigrant populations that, “You're not welcome here, and we are going to come after you.” And I think the difference that we've seen is a broadening of the enforcement net and a removal of any sort of refinement or targeting. We've seen American citizens and military veterans being arrested and detained. We've seen Indigenous people being detained. And it's created a sense of terror and panic across the country that I feel is absolutely deliberate, and in line with the campaign promises of this new administration.Alfred BridiNews 2/5/251. The New York Times reports President Trump has ousted Rohit Chopra, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau who was “known for his aggressive enforcement and expansion of consumer protection laws.” During his tenure, Chopra cracked down on junk fees, particularly bank overdraft fees, and sought to remove medical debt from individuals' credit histories. As the Times notes, Chopra “improbably hung on for nearly two weeks [after Trump took office, and]…used that time to impose a $2 million fine on a money transmitter and release reports on auto lending costs, specialty credit reporting companies and rent payment data.” In his letter of resignation, Chopra wrote “With so much power concentrated in the hands of a few, agencies like the C.F.P.B. have never been more critical,” and “I hope that the CFPB will continue to be a pillar of restoring and advancing economic liberty in America.”2. In more Trump administration staffing news, AP reports the Senate Finance Committee voted 13-14 along party lines Tuesday to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician by trade and member of the committee who expressed grave concern over Kennedy's stances on vaccines and other health-related matters, said during the hearings “Your past, undermining confidence in vaccines with unfounded or misleading arguments, concerns me.” Ultimately however, Cassidy voted “aye.” Kennedy's nomination will now advance to the full Senate, where the GOP holds a comfortable majority thus almost ensuring his confirmation.3. Speaking of Trump and health, CBS is out with an update on the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio railroad disaster. According to this report, Vice President JD Vance visited the crash site on February 3rd and vowed that the administration would hold Norfolk Southern accountable for “unfilled promises of settlement money and training centers.” That same day, residents of East Palestine filed a lawsuit alleging that Norfolk Southern's actions resulted in the wrongful death of seven people, including a one-week-old baby.4. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has successfully negotiated a month-long delay of Trump's proposed 25% tariffs. According to CNN, the deal reached between the two North American heads of state includes Mexico deploying 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border to help stem the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., while Trump has reportedly agreed to help end the deluge of American guns moving South. In her regular Monday morning press conference, Sheinbaum said “For humanitarian reasons, we must help the United States address its fentanyl consumption crisis, which is leading to overdose deaths.” Sheinbaum has been roundly praised for her ability to both stand up to and placate Trump. Reuters quoted Jorge Guajardo, a former Mexican ambassador to China and member of the opposition Partido Acción Nacional or PAN party, who had to admit “President Sheinbaum played it…Masterfully.”5. Democracy Now! reports a group of Quaker congregations have filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to the Trump administration's order “allowing federal agents to raid…schools, hospitals, shelters and places of worship.” This lawsuit alleges that “The very threat of [such raids] deters congregants from attending services, especially members of immigrant communities,” and that therefore this order infringes upon the Constitutional “guarantee of religious liberty.” The Quakers have historically been among the most progressive Christian sects, having been leaders in the fight to abolish slavery and to oppose war.6. Reese Gorman of NOTUS reports that so far approximately 24,000 federal employees have accepted Elon Musk's proposed “buyout,” meaning they will leave their jobs and should receive eight months of severance pay. This purge of the federal workforce has been among the most prominent initiatives of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Less prominently touted however is what the administration plans to do once these employees have been purged. Recent comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Bloomberg however are enlightening. Rubio, commenting on the “potential reorganization” of the Agency for International Development or USAID, indicated that the reduction in the size of the workforce would be paired with greater use of private contractors. Most likely this means farming out government services to Trump lackeys, cronies, and assorted grifters – all on the taxpayers' dime.7. Front and center in combatting Musk's quiet coup is Public Citizen. On Monday, the public interest watchdog announced they are suing the Treasury Department for its “unlawful disclosure of personal & financial information to Elon Musk's DOGE.” Their legal complaint, filed alongside the Alliance for Retired Americans, the Association of Federal Government Employees and the SEIU, reads, in part, “The scale of the intrusion into individuals' privacy is massive and unprecedented. Millions of people cannot avoid engaging in financial transactionswith the federal government and, therefore, cannot avoid having their sensitivepersonal and financial information maintained in government records. SecretaryBessent's action granting DOGE-affiliated individuals full, continuous, and ongoingaccess to that information for an unspecified period of time means that retirees,taxpayers, federal employees, companies, and other individuals from all walks of life have no assurance that their information will receive the protection that federal law affords.”8. Turning to the Middle East, Drop Site News reports “Over 100 journalists…sent a letter to Egyptian authorities on Sunday requesting access to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing.” CNN, NBC, NPR, CBS, ABC, AP, Reuters, BBC, Sky News, the Financial Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times France 24, Le Monde, El Pais, and others, including Drop Site itself, are signatories on this letter. The letter states “We understand that the situation is fluid regarding the border crossing, but we ask that permission for journalists to cross the Rafah border be at the forefront of the…No international journalists have been able to access Gaza without an Israeli military escort since the war began in October 2023. We request that permission be granted on an expedited basis while Phase 1 of the ceasefire is still in effect.” As Drop Site notes, “Egypt has not allowed journalists to cross Rafah into Gaza since 2013, when Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power in Egypt in a military coup.” This has meant all journalistic access to Gaza must go through Israel.9. Our last two stories have to do with the Democrats. On February 1st, Ken Martin was elected the new chair of the Democratic National Committee. Martin previously led the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and the Association of State Democratic Parties, per POLITICO. WPR reports Martin's victory was decisive at 246.5 out of 428 votes; the second-place finisher, Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, won only 134.5 votes despite endorsements from House and Senate Minority Leaders Jeffries and Schumer, among many other high-profile elected Democrats, per the Hill. Other candidates included Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir, though he entered late and without substantial backing. Martin's reputation is mixed, with one DNC member telling POLITICO, “he's a knife-fighter.” Perhaps that is what the party needs to turn things around.10. Finally, Variety reports former President Biden has signed with the Creative Arts Agency, or CAA, one of the premier talent agencies in Hollywood. CAA also represents Barack and Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, per the BBC. With the White House once again occupied by a creature of showbusiness, the symbiotic relationship between politics, media and entertainment has never been clearer. In the words of George Carlin, “It's a big club, and you ain't in it.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

*Trump proposes relocating Palestinians outside Gaza US President Donald Trump has proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring countries like Egypt and Jordan, an unusual proposal that was opposed by the former administration of Joe Biden. Speaking to reporters ahead of his departure from Los Angeles for Miami, the president said he raised the matter during a telephone call with King Abdullah II of Jordan, and he might talk with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi on Sunday. The former Biden administration opposed relocating Gaza residents outside the enclave, advocating a return of Palestinians to their homes in the aftermath of a potential peace and a two-state solution. * Seventy Palestinian prisoners reach Cairo The head of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadoura Fares, announced that 70 Palestinian prisoners exiled as part of a prisoner exchange deal in Gaza entered Egyptian territory. Fares told Anadolu news agency that all the prisoners are men with life sentences or long-term sentences, and travel documents are currently being prepared for them. He noted that "the prisoners will be accommodated in a Cairo hotel for a few days, where they will receive all necessary services, and a small ceremony will be organised to honour them before determining their final destinations". * Oil tanker explosion in Nigeria leaves several dead Several victims have been confirmed dead as tragedy struck in Nigeria again when a petrol tanker exploded, according to officials. Multiple sources said that widespread panic affected six other vehicles when the fuel-laden tanker fell while navigating down a hilly busy expressway in Enugu State. Witnesses who shared video of the scene added that no fewer than 15 people, including three children, have been confirmed dead. * North Korea test-fires first cruise missile since Trump's return North Korea conducted a test of a strategic cruise missile, state media KCNA reported. It is the first missile test by Pyongyang since the return of Donald Trump to the White House. The strategic cruise missiles flew 1,500 kilometres, hitting targets without affecting the safety of neighbouring countries. * Trump's 2020 election win could have averted 'Ukrainian crisis': Putin If Donald Trump had been reelected as US president in 2020, the Ukraine crisis that erupted in 2022 might not have occurred, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. In an interview with the Russian Rossiya 1 TV channel on Friday, Putin said that Russia remains open to peace talks on the Ukraine war. He said that Moscow has never rejected contact with the US administration but the previous one opted not to pursue such engagement.

Remember when Trump was impeached for holding up Ukraine aid to pressure Zelensky into fabricating a scandal about Biden? That's how Trump famously operates—pushing for a quid pro quo. That brings us to Egypt, a dictatorship with a track record of bribing Americans, including disgraced Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, who was found guilty on all counts of being a paid foreign agent of Egypt. In 2016, Trump met with Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi behind closed doors at the U.N. General Assembly weeks before the election, likely breaking the Logan Act at a time when President Obama's foreign policy shunned el-Sisi for his human rights abuses and overthrowing Egypt's first democratically elected leader.   But it gets worse. Trump's relationship with Egypt isn't just about money; it's about power—nuclear power. El-Sisi's regime is closely aligned with the Kremlin. Experts raised alarms about Russia's nuclear ambitions in the Middle East, where earlier this year Russia began building a nuclear power station in Egypt. Trump's ties to these dangerous players demands that the Biden administration, or potentially a Harris/Walz administration, appoint a special prosecutor to continue the investigation into Trump and Egypt, killed by Trump's attorney general William Barr, the GOP cover-up king.  Listen to a free excerpt of our bonus show on Egypt, Trump, and Russia wherever you get your podcasts!
