Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's aiming to topple the regime in Iran, as part of his continued strikes against the country's nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure, such as oil refineries. But what forces could he unleash by overthrowing Iran's Islamic theocracy? There's a serious prospect that a Shi'ite backlash could erupt across the region GUEST:Dr Ali Mamouri of Deakin University, former adviser to the Iraqi prime minister. Australia has imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, citing a history of violent and racist statements. The two men are crucial to propping up the Netanyahu government in parliament. Even so, the government could fall later this year over compulsory military service for ultra-Orthodox men.

Il dottor Stranamore ad un passo dalla terza guerra mondiale I nostri ascoltatori ricorderanno la trama di un film di Stanley Kubrick del lontano 1964, Il dottor Stranamore. La pellicola racconta la possibilità di un imminente attacco nucleare all'Unione Sovietica voluto dal folle Jack D. Ripper . Da una base il generale americano impartisce l'ordine, l'aereo prosegue la sua missione (il bombardamento con armi atomiche di varie città russe), i vertici statunitensi cercano di fermarlo. Viene coinvolto il dottor Stranamore, uno scienziato ex nazista naturalizzato americano e direttore per lo sviluppo delle armi nucleari, che spiega al presidente il funzionamento dell'ordigno, aggiungendo che l'effetto deterrente viene meno nel momento in cui il nemico non ne è a conoscenza. La guerra totale Il dottor Stranamore è naturalmente figlio della guerra fredda, ma in questo nuovo conflitto totale che può portarci dritti alla terza guerra mondiale, quanti altri dottori Stranamore dominano la scena internazionale? Ci sono certamente il premier isfraeliano Benjamin Netanyahu, il ministro di estrema destra Itamar Ben Gvir, il presidente americano Donald Trump, il suo omologo russo Vladimir Putin, il presidente iraniano Masoud Pezeshkian, il capo di stato maggiore militare Houthi, Muhammad Al-Ghamari, i leader di Hezbollah e di Hamas. Ognuno pretende uno spazio sul piano economico, politico, militare, e ognuno afferma il potere di chi riesce a fermare i conflitti in cambio di una pace condizionata, e chi invece si cimenta nella continua costruzione di un nemico da abbattere. Perché un dittatore che non ha nemici se li crea. Vi ricordate il film di Kubrick? Gli aspetti comici si concentrano sull'incompetenza degli uomini in comando e la satira sui complessi sistemi politici e militari vulnerabili alle debolezze di chi li controlla. Ed è proprio quello che sta accadendo in queste ore. La guerra incontrollata guidata da personaggi malati di psicopatie gravi. "Il Corsivo" a cura di Daniele Biacchessi non è un editoriale, ma un approfondimento sui fatti di maggiore interesse che i quotidiani spesso non raccontano. Un servizio in punta di penna che analizza con un occhio esperto quell'angolo nascosto delle notizie di politica, economia e cronaca. ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it
Political observers are describing Canada's move as “unprecedented” after foreign minister Anita Anand announced on June 10 the country has joined 4 other allied nations in imposing travel and economic sanctions against two extreme-right wing, Israeli politicians for being part of West Bank settler violence against Palestinians. Canada has slapped similar sanctions on several civilian Israeli settlers three times already since 2024, accusing them of fomenting attacks on Palestinians and their villages–attacks which largely go unpunished. But the listing of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, sitting members of a democratic, Western government that is a long-time ally of Canada, is being seen as an important diplomatic “signalling its extreme displeasure with the Israeli government”. Smotrich is Israel's current finance minister, while Ben Gvir is in charge of national security. Both men live in settlements on the West Bank, and both have made highly controversial remarks about Palestinians, about wanting to annex the West Bank and Gaza for Israel, even that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice is now hearing a case about incitement to genocide because of some of these remarks. While progressive Jewish leaders in Canada have praised the sanctions on the two men, in practise, experts say Canada rarely enforces them. To explain the strategy behind Canada's team approach to the new sanctions on Israeli politicians and what message they're meant to send, on today's episode of North Star, host Ellin Bessner speaks with Thomas Juneau. He is a professor of political science and an expert in Middle East studies at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has denounced the decision by five Western governments to impose sanctions on far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Rubio called on the United Kingdom, Canada, Norway, New Zealand and Australia to reverse their decision. “These sanctions do not advance US-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home and end the war,” he said. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke about the sanctions with Res Ltn Col Maurice Hirsch from the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs.

New Zealand has joined other countries in putting travel bans on two Israeli government ministers, prompting swift criticism from Israel and a rare rebuke from the United States to its allies. The two men at the centre of the bans: Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are right wing hardliners who's support is essential to Netanyahu's coalition government. Our government said sanctioning the two men was the right thing to do. But opposition parties said it should have gone much further, much faster, accusing the government of cowardice.
The US has condemned New Zealand and others for sanctioning Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. Tel Aviv correspondent Trent Murray spoke to Morning Report.

Foreign Minister David Lammy says Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will both be banned from entering the UK and will have any assets in the UK frozen over "repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian communities". The US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, told this programme that the move was ill-timed and said the US would respond appropriately to what he described as an incredible overreach.A second night of rioting has erupted in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

Utrikesministern om regeringens skarpare kritik mot Israels agerande i Gaza och om läget i Ukraina, Sveriges mest prioriterade utrikesfråga. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Sedan mitten av maj har regeringen gradvis skärpt tonen mot Israels agerande i Gaza, där en svältkatastrof nu hotar efter att Israel blockerat tillgång på mat. Möjligt krigsbrottAtt använda svält som vapen är ett krigsbrott, enligt internationell humanitär rätt och utrikesminister Maria Malmer Stenergard ser allvarligt på Israels agerande. ”När man nu inte har något svar på hur humanitär hjälp ska komma in så att man ska kunna minska risken för svält. Ja, då är det mycket svårt att se att skulle vara förenligt med den internationella rätten,” säger Maria Malmer Stenergard.På frågan om Israel begår krigsbrott när tillgången på mat blockeras i Gaza, svarar utrikesministern att det kan handla om det och att det därför är viktigt att en domstol utreder saken. Namnger israeliska ministrar på sanktionslistaSverige stödjer en granskning av EU:s omfattande samarbetsavtal med Israel och driver också EU-sanktioner mot två extremistiska israeliska ministrar, finansminister Bezalel Smotrich och säkerhetsminister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Tonen i kritiken mot Israel blir skarpare också i EU-kretsen, enligt Malmer Stenergard.”Jag är lika frustrerad som många andra i Sverige, men också i Europa. Och jag hör en helt annan tongång nu i rådsmötena som jag sitter i. Där finns det en helt annan frustration bland medlemsländerna.”Inget återupptaget stöd till UnrwaDen svenska regeringen stoppade i fjol stödet till FN:s hjälporgan för palestinska flyktingar, Unrwa. Detta efter att Israel förbjudit organisationen att verka i Gaza. Trots uppmaningar från flera biståndsorganisationer, uppger Maria Malmer Stenergard att det inte finns några planer på att återuppta stödet.”Det handlar ju om att vi ser till det lilla barn som svälter i Gaza. Vad är vår största sannolikhet att få in hjälp till det barnet? Då har vi bedömt att det inte var särskilt sannolikt att det skulle kunna gå via Unrwa, utan det var större sannolikhet att vi skulle kunna nå fram via andra organisationer,” säger Maria Malmer Stenergard.Utrikesministern menar att vi nu står vid en slags vändpunkt. Hur vi kommer att se på Israels agerande mot palestinierna i framtiden avgörs nu, säger utrikesministern och pekar på de senaste veckornas utveckling i Gaza.”Jag hoppas att vi ser en annan utveckling framöver. Men jag är mycket, mycket orolig,” säger Malmer Stenergard. Ryssland vill inte ha fred Regeringen har pekat ut stödet till Ukraina som sin största utrikespolitiska uppgift. Mycket av Ukrainas öde kommer avgöras av vilken linje USA väljer framöver. Utrikesministern är något mer hoppfull över relationen mellan de två länderna nu än för någon månad sen.”Vi ser hur deras samarbete fördjupas. Jag tror att USA, liksom vi, känner stor frustration över att Ryssland tydligt visar att de inte vill ha fred. Att de hela tiden flyttar målstolparna,” säger Maria Malmer Stenergard.

Syria is about to overhaul its financial system. Palestinian residents, activists and journalists were the targets of attacks by extremist Israelis in Jerusalem yesterday. Nuclear talks between the US and Iran appear to have reached a stalemate, but are expected to continue. On today's episode of Trending Middle East: Golden window: Syria to overhaul financial system after sanctions relief, says central bank chief Palestinians brace for show of Israeli ultranationalism on Jerusalem Day Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir breaches Al Aqsa Mosque compound on 'Jerusalem Day' Iran 'won't die of hunger' if US nuclear talks fail, President says This episode features Thomas Helm, Jerusalem Correspondent; Mohamad Ali Harisi, Foreign Editor; and Hadya AlAlawi, Assistant Foreign Editor.
On this edition of Parallax Views, Orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro — author of The Empty Wagon: Zionism's Journey from Identity Crisis to Identity Theft — returns to unpack the theological foundations of Jewish anti-Zionism and non-Zionism. Fresh off his participation in a protest against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's recent U.S. visit, Rabbi Shapiro explains why he believes Zionism is not only a political nationalist ideology distinct from Judaism, but one that misrepresents the Jewish people on the global stage. We explore the historical opposition of traditional Orthodox communities to Zionist projects, tracing the evolution of Zionism from the Revisionist movement of Ze'ev Jabotinsky to the early Religious Zionism of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, and ultimately to the far-right nationalism of figures like Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. We also distinguish Rabbi Shapiro's critique from that of Orthodox anti-Zionist groups like Neturei Karta; Rabbi Shapiro's argument is based in the question of Jewish identity rather than anything eschatalogical. Along the way, we discuss Meir Kahane and how his violent ideology culminated in his assassination; Rabbi Shapiro's personal encounters with Kahanists in 1970s Brooklyn; and his message to left-wing Zionists — namely, his belief that left Zionism inevitably paves the way for the far right. A must-listen for anyone interested in theology, nationalism, and the contested meanings of Jewish identity.
Benjamin Netanyahu's government may have announced plans to intensify its Gaza offensive and call up thousands of reservists – but "many Israelis, and especially the IDF top brass, are actually hoping that President [Donald] Trump will again intervene and reach some kind of deal," Haaretz senior security analyst Amos Harel said on the Haaretz Podcast. Pressure from the American president will be the only way Netanyahu can resist the "huge political pressure to proceed" with the escalation and a long-term military presence in Gaza placed on him by far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, Harel said. "Unless Trump decides to intervene, we might be facing a massive military operation, and in my view, that would be a disaster." Speaking with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Harel assessed the war's multiple fronts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, emphasizing that in nearly every case, the will – and whims – of the U.S. president plays a decisive role. "It's quite clear that Trump is less interested than before and talks less about the Palestinian conflict and the Gaza Riviera idea – it may be because he fears failure there. He seems to prefer to invest his time and efforts in the Saudis, Emiratis, and Qataris who are offering him trillions of dollars in deals in weapons or technology. This is what Trump is focused on."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Max Blumenthal discusses a US senator's call for the fbi to investigate code pink on specious grounds, the inflammatory US tour of Israeli fascist Itamar Ben Gvir, and Trump's failing negotiating strategy in Ukraine.
Israeli Minister of National Security and supporter of extremist, far-right policies Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the United States in late April. From the time he got off his plane in Florida and throughout events in New Haven, CT, New York City and Washington, DC, he was met with opposition, protest and resistance. Even some Zionist groups opposed his visit, which included stops at Trump's Mar-A-Lago, a Jewish society tied to Yale university, the halls of Congress, and a fundraiser in New York. Ben-Gvir is a Kahanist, a follower of the rabbi Meir Kahane who supported and encouraged and was convicted of acts of terrorism in both Israel and the United States. He famously has a portrait of Baruch Goldstein in his living room, who killed 29 Palestinians in Hebron in 1994, and he repeats the calls of Goldstein and Kahane to expel all Palestinians from their homeland.And following in those ideological footsteps, Israel's government announced this week that it plans to seize Gaza entirely for the first time since it was forced to withdraw in 2005.Support the show
Ralph welcomes back Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, to update us on that group's latest efforts to save American democracy by lobbying to raise wages for workers and tax the rich. Plus, according to our resident constitutional expert, Bruce Fein, the count of Trump's impeachable offenses is now up to twenty-two and rising faster than a Space X rocket.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.What we saw on January 20th, I believe, was the result of a global oligarchical coup who just took the Queen on the chessboard. When you've got three people whose combined worth is around a trillion dollars standing behind who is an unethical at least, criminal at worst billionaire president, Houston, we have a problem here. And the problem is not actually Donald Trump. The problem is the preconditions that led to the rise of a vulnerability to an authoritarian leader and an oligarchy. And that vulnerability was brought about by the actions of both parties over decades.Erica PayneIf you ran a business, Ralph, would you ever fire your accounts receivable department? No. It would be the last department you would cut. So then it says he's either stupid because that's what he's cutting, which I think is probably inaccurate. So if he's not stupid, then why is he doing it? And he's doing it for the same reason that lawmakers have hacked at the IRS budget forever—they don't want their donors to get taxed. They don't want their donors to be audited. And so they cut the cops. So all these folks who are griping about black Americans calling to defund the police are actually defunding the police that is keeping them in line and keeping them honest.Erica PayneAt a divided moment in America, I think we can agree that the federal government shouldn't tax people into poverty, and (to the extent necessary) rich people should pick up the difference.Erica PayneBruce 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.I start out with the fundamental idea of due process—you simply cannot deprive someone of liberty without giving them an opportunity to explain or to refute what allegations the government has made. And the reason why I start out with that, Ralph, is we've had an experiment in World War II with what happens when you have no due process. We did that with 120,000 Japanese Americans. No, we just said that they're all likely to commit espionage or sabotage, got to put them in concentration camps. We made 120,000 errors (and later apologized for it in 1988). So there's a reason due process is not simply an academic concept. It's essential to preventing these kinds of egregious instances of injustice from happening.Bruce FeinThe Democrats and a lot of liberal economists are not keeping up with the horror show that's going on. They don't use words like cruel and vicious. They don't turn Trump's words like deranged, crazed, corrupt on him. They're still using words like authoritarian practices, or problematic, or distressing, or disconcerting, or concerning. They're not catching up with the horror show here. That's why Trump continues to have a soliloquy. The Democratic Party is now having gatherings to see how are they going to collectively deal with Trump? How does a bank deal with a bank robber? They let the bank robber rob the bank and flee with the gold while they deliberate how they're going to deal with a bank robber they see coming into the bank?Ralph NaderNews 5/2/251. At the eleventh hour, Representative Jim Jordan – Chair of the House Judiciary Committee – pulled his measure to strip the Federal Trade Commission of its antitrust enforcement powers and consolidate those within the Justice Department, Reuters reports. “The House panel…had included the proposal in its budget package on Monday. During a hearing on the package…the committee passed an amendment that would remove the measure.” Trump's FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson opposed Jordan's move and intervened with the White House. As Reuters notes, “The proposal mirrored the One Agency Act, a Republican bill that has gotten support from Elon Musk…[which] would effectively repeal the FTC's...authority to sue companies over unfair methods of competition, which the agency is using in cases against pharmacy benefit managers, Amazon…and John Deere.” In short, the FTC's antitrust powers survive today, but there is no guarantee about tomorrow.2. Yet, while avoiding the worst possible outcome on the corporate crime front, the Trump administration is still hard at work going soft on corporate crooks. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports “Two Wells Fargo execs had their fines reduced by 90% (related to the bank's accounting scandal) by Trump's [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency].” Claypool links to a piece in Radical Compliance, which explains that “David Julian, former chief auditor at Wells Fargo, saw his fines cut from $7 million to $100,000 [and] Paul McLinko, executive audit director, had his fines cut from $1.5 million to $50,000.” Both Julian and McLinko were part of the senior leadership team at Wells Fargo in the 2010s, when regulators “charged the bank with turning a blind eye to employees opening bank accounts without customer consent to hit sales quotas. That misconduct eventually led to a $3 billion settlement with Wells Fargo in 2020.”3. Lest you think the Democrats are in danger of seriously opposing Trump's policies, the Bulwark reports that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is putting the kibosh on the recent spate of Democrats' trips to El Salvador exposing the reality of the CECOT deportation scheme. This report alleges that “Cory Booker and the Hispanic Caucus were planning on going [to El Salvador],” but are no longer. Perhaps worse, Jeffries is not giving clear marching orders to the party rank and file. One Democrat is quoted saying “As a member of a party you need to be disciplined…They say, ‘Get on a plane,' ‘Don't get on a plane'—that's what you do. Nine out ten times you do what they ask. But you can't take that approach if you're not having regular communications… You have to be clear in messaging what the plan is and you have to do that regularly if you want to keep people in line.” This is just another example of Jeffries' weak and indecisive leadership of the caucus.4. Advocates are having more luck resisting the administration's overreach in court. On Wednesday, Mohsen Mahdawi – the Columbia student faced with deportation after being lured into an ICE trap with the false promise of a citizenship test – was freed by a federal judge, POLITICO reports. After the judge ordered his release, Mahdawi told the press “I am saying it clear and loud…To President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you.” Mahdawi's ordeal is not over, but he will remain free while his case winds its way through the courts and a previous order blocked the administration from changing venues, meaning the case will proceed in the relatively liberal Second Circuit.5. Mahmoud Khalil also scored a major legal victory this week. The Huffington Post reports that the ICE agents sent to arrest Khalil did not, contrary to their false claims in court, have an arrest warrant. Amy Greer, a lawyer for Khalil, is quoted saying “Today, we now know why [the government] never showed Mahmoud [a] warrant — they didn't have one. This is clearly yet another desperate attempt by the Trump administration to justify its unlawful arrest and detention of human rights defender Mahmoud Khalil, who is now, by the government's own tacit admission, a political prisoner of the United States.” The ACLU, also defending Khalil, has now moved for this case to be dismissed.6. Despite these victories though, the repression of anything pro-Palestine continues. At Yale, Prem Thakker reports hundreds of students protested in advance of a speech by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's radical National Security Minister who has previously been arrested many times for inciting racism and supporting pro-Jewish terrorism in Israel itself. Yet the university responded by “stripp[ing] the school's Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter…of its status as an official student group.” If students cannot even protest Ben-Gvir, what will the colleges regard as legitimate protest of Israel?7. In Yemen, Ryan Grim reports on CounterPoints that the Trump administration has been targeting strikes against the Houthis using data gleaned from amateur Open-Source Intelligence or OSINT accounts on X, formerly Twitter. Unsurprisingly, these are completely inaccurate and have led to disastrous strikes on civilians' homes, incorrectly identifying them as “Houthi bases.” One of these accounts is based in Houston, Texas, and another as far away as the Netherlands.8. According to a new World Bank report, Mexico reduced poverty more than any other Latin American country between 2018 and 2023. Not coincidentally, this lines up almost perfectly with the AMLO years in Mexico, which saw a massive increase in the Mexican minimum wage along with other social rights and protections. These policies are now being taken forward by AMLO's successor Claudia Sheinbaum, whose popularity has now surpassed even that of her predecessor, per Bloomberg.9. In Australia, Virginia Giuffre – the most outspoken accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell – has passed away at the age of 41, the BBC reports. Police concluded that Ms. Giuffre died by suicide and her family released a statement indicating that the “toll of abuse... became unbearable.” Yet, her death was preceded by a bizarre chain of events. On March 31st, the BBC reported that Ms. Giuffre's car collided with a school bus, sending her into renal failure with her doctors saying she had “four days to live.” The Miami Herald also reported “At the time of her death, Giuffre had been in a contentious divorce and child custody battle with her husband, Robert.” The family's statement continued “The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; [but] early indication is the death is not suspicious.” One can only hope more details come to light.10. Finally, in a different kind of bizarre story, embattled incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams – who has already given up on the Democratic primary and was running for reelection as an independent – will now appear on two new ballot lines “EndAntiSemitism” and “Safe&Affordable,” POLITICO reports. Adams has gone to great lengths to cultivate and maintain his support in the Orthodox Jewish community in New York and is seeking to highlight his strengths and undercut former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, Adams only needs to secure 3,750 signatures from voters by May 27 for each of these ballot lines, a shockingly low threshold for the largest city in America. These ballot lines will appear without spaces, coming in just under the wire for the city's 15-character limit on ballot lines.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Ein Standpunkt von Jochen Mitschka.Nein, es war kein Krieg, was in Gaza ablief, es waren Massaker. Es gab keine Luftabwehr, keine Armee, nur Massen von Zivilisten, die weitgehend in Zelten und Ruinen wohnten, und die nun bombardiert werden, weil ein paar bewaffnete Widerstandskämpfer gegen die Besatzung und ethnische Säuberung wehrten. Dabei spielten systematische Morde immer noch eine Rolle, womit wir den Artikel beginnen, um dann weiter über den Stand im Völkermord und der ethnischen Säuberung zu berichten, den Stand der Aufarbeitung durch die „Weltjustiz“, um über den Libanon, Syrien, den Iran und dem Jemen zu berichten, die alle unter Angriffen Israels bzw. der USA litten.Systematischer VölkermordMitte April war klar geworden, dass 12 Ersthelfer mit deutlich erkennbaren Warnleuchten auf dem Dach, wie das Video eines Ermordeten zeigte, gezielt durch die IDF in einem Hinterhalt ermordet worden waren. Fast alle deutsche Medien hatten danach die IDF-Meldung verbreitet, wonach die Tötung von 15 palästinensischen Rettungskräfte durch eine unglückliche Verkettung individueller Fehler, Missverständnissen und Kommunikationspannen eigentlich unabsichtlich passiert sei. Eine Recherche der Zeitung Haaretz, die am 23. April veröffentlicht wurde, zeigte jedoch auf, dass interne IDF-Dokumente bewiesen, dass die Sanitäter vorsätzlich und aus nächster Nähe exekutiert wurden.Die Morde waren kein Versehen, sondern die Soldaten hatten gezielt einen Hinterhalt aufgebaut, um die unbewaffneten Sanitäter und Ärzte ermorden zu können. Sie seien ermordet worden, um Zeugen auszuschalten[1]. Gründlicher und deutlicher kann man Absprache zum und Durchführung eines Mordes nicht beschreiben. Die IDF meinte, aber da seien auch vier davon Mitglieder der Hamas dabei gewesen. Wie gesagt, alle waren unbewaffnet, und Hamas war die Verwaltung der Region, d.h. jeder Angestellter der Verwaltung war „Hamas“.Am 23. April gab der Minister für Nationale Sicherheit, Itamar Ben-Gvir öffentlich zu, dass die Regierung Trump die Bombardierung von Lebensmittel- und Hilfslieferungen in Gaza unterstützten.„Ich hatte die Ehre und das Privileg, mich mit hochrangigen Vertretern der Republikanischen Partei in Trumps Anwesen Mar-a-Lago zu treffen. Sie bekundeten ihre Unterstützung für meine sehr klare Position, wie in Gaza vorzugehen ist, und dass die Lebensmittel und Hilfsdepots bombardiert werden sollten, um militärischen und politischen Druck auszuüben, damit unsere Geiseln sicher nach Haus zurück gebracht werden.“[2]Am 25. April tauchte ein Video auf, in dem Moshe Saada, israelischer Knesset-Abgeordneter aus Netanjahus Partei, erklärte: „Es ist unsere Pflicht, die Gaza-Bewohner zu verbannen. Zehn Länder sind bereit, sie aufzunehmen.“ Er wurde gefragt, ob er wisse, was die Aussage impliziert bedeute, und er antwortete:„Ja, ich werde die Bewohner Gazas aushungern lassen, ja, in der Tat – es ist unsere Pflicht. Ich will die Bewohner Gazas aushungern lassen, und eine vollständige Belagerung zu erzwingen.“Auf die Frage, ob er sich nicht Sorgen über internationale Kritik mache, meinte er:„Komm schon, das ist langweilig, wir müssen uns um die Juden kümmern.“[3]...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/endloses-morden-von-jochen-mitschka/ Hosted on Acast.

There's no more divisive Israeli public figure than Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. Starting out his career as a Kahanist firebrand known for his controversial stances—like decorating his living room with a photograph of Baruch Goldstein, or working to free Yigal Amir, Yitzhak Rabin's assassin—Ben-Gvir evolved from a political sideshow to kingmaker, winning several Knesset seats and joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. For some Israelis, he's the strong-willed, strong-armed course correction after too many years of being too soft on terror. To many others, he's an abomination, subverting the nation's democratic values. Visiting New York this week, Ben-Gvir attended a live event moderated by Liel to talk about his past, his actions in office, and his vision for the future of the war against Hamas.

O cessar-fogo entre Israel e Hamas acabou. O acordo, formalmente, já havia chegado ao fim, mas o governo de Benjamin Netanyahu decidiu retomar a operação militar em Gaza no dia 17 de março. Ao mesmo tempo, Bibi decidiu demitir o chefe do Shin Bet, Ronen Bar. E foi assim que a sociedade israelense entrou em erupção novamente.A semana passada em Israel foi marcada por protestos e centenas de milhares de pessoas nas ruas. O extremista Itamar Ben Gvir voltou ao governo e a polícia, comandada por ele, foi protagonista na repressão das manifestações. Como tem sido os últimos dias para a sociedade israelense? Há, de fato, oposição à guerra e à destruição em Gaza? Qual a preocupação com a democracia israelense? Pra conversar com a gente hoje, convidamos Gisele Charak, educadora brasileira, mestra pela Universidade Hebraica de Jerusalém. A Gisele trabalha em uma ONG israelense chamada MEET, um programa de excelência com foco em empreendedorismo para alunos judeus e árabes.

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. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian and political reporter Tal Schneider join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday evening, three Hamas hostages were returned to Israeli soil as part of the hostage release-ceasefire agreement that went into effect at 11:15 yesterday morning. We learn how Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, were released, what we know currently of their conditions and how they were received in Israel. Israel released 90 Palestinian security prisoners early Monday morning, hours after Hamas released the three civilian hostages on the first day of a ceasefire with the terror group in the Gaza Strip. These inmates included terror convicts but reportedly none convicted of murder. Where were they taken and how were they greeted? We hear a quick update on the status of the truce that is still holding in southern Lebanon -- and that is meant to expire on Sunday. Former national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party quit the coalition on Sunday morning, following through on its threat to exit if the government agreed to a ceasefire agreement with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Schneider discusses the new alignment of power in the coalition and goes through several potential scenarios. At the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, today, part of the festivities will be led by Yeshiva University head Rabbi Ari Berman, who will deliver a benediction. We hear what else Israeli or Jewish may be in store. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.

El alto el fuego en la Franja de Gaza, cuyo inicio está previsto para el 19 de enero, está en vilo. El gabinete de Seguridad israelí votó finalmente este viernes a favor del acuerdo, pero todavía falta un paso para implementarlo: la aprobación del gabinete completo. No obstante, algunos ministros ya han adelantado su rechazo. ¿Se puede caer el acuerdo? La oficina de Benjamin Netanyahu confirmó que los equipos negociadores de Israel y Hamás firmaron el acuerdo de alto el fuego en Gaza y de liberación de rehenes. Aunque está previsto que la tregua en Gaza comience el domingo 19 de enero, el acuerdo aún no ha recibido el aval necesario del gabinete completo de Israel, aunque sí del de Seguridad, Este viernes, el gabinete de Seguridad israelí, integrado por los principales ministros y altos cargos de Defensa, avaló el alto el fuego en Gaza y recomendó al Gobierno en pleno ratificarlo."Después de examinar todos los aspectos políticos, de seguridad y humanitarios, y al entender que el acuerdo propuesto apoya el logro de los objetivos de la guerra, el Comité Ministerial de Asuntos de Seguridad Nacional (gabinete de Seguridad) recomendó que el Gobierno aprobara el esquema propuesto", anunció la Oficina del primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu.El gabinete de Seguridad es el equipo más estrecho del primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu, que se encarga de dictar las políticas sobre la guerra en el enclave palestino. Mientras, el gabinete total incluye a los 33 ministros y al premier.En principio, se iban a reunir el jueves, pero Netanyahu postergó el encuentro alegando que Hamás estaba haciendo cambios de última hora, concretamente con una cláusula sobre quiénes serán los presos palestinos excarcelados en el canje por rehenes."Contrariamente a una cláusula explícita que otorga a Israel el derecho a vetar la liberación de asesinos en masa que son símbolos de terrorismo, Hamás quiere dictar la identidad de esos terroristas", señaló el jueves la Oficina del primer ministro israelí.Hamás, por su parte, niega que esté haciendo cambios a lo pactado.Con el acuerdo, de tres etapas, se prevé el intercambio de un número de prisioneros palestinos por cada rehén de Hamás liberado y entregado a Israel, mientras se fijan las condiciones para un alto el fuego permanente. Leer también¿Por qué hay retrasos desde Israel en la votación del acuerdo con Hamás?¿Se iniciará la tregua el 19 de enero?Aunque crecen las dudas por el inicio de la tregua, la Oficina del primer ministro confirmó este viernes que el intercambio de rehenes israelíes por presos palestinos comenzará "según el plan previsto" el domingo 19 de enero, mientras continúa reunido el gabinete de Seguridad."Una vez el gabinete (de seguridad) y el Gobierno den su aprobación y el acuerdo entre en vigor, la liberación de los rehenes se llevará a cabo según el plan previsto, según el cual se espera que los (primeros) rehenes sean liberados el domingo", explicó la Oficina de Netanyahu en un comunicado.Según medios, como 'The Times of Israel', la dilatación de las reuniones puede buscar dar tiempo suficiente a los detractores del acuerdo para que presenten sus peticiones ante la Justicia, lo que podría atrasar la entrada en vigor del alto en fuego en Gaza, programada el domingo 19 de enero.De entrada, el ministro de Defensa, el ultranacionalista israelí Itamar Ben Gvir, amenazó con abandonar el Gobierno de coalición si se respalda el acuerdo al asegurar que eso permitirá a Hamás rearmarse y volver a atacar a las comunidades israelíes fronterizas.El esperado pacto tiene lugar tras 15 meses de guerra que causaron 1.200 muertes en el ataque del 7 de octubre de 2023 de Hamás en Israel y más de 46.000 muertos y un número indeterminado de desaparecidos en Gaza. Leer tambiénLas dudas empiezan a planear sobre la tregua en Gaza: ¿puede fracasar el acuerdo?¿Por qué el Gobierno de Israel no ha aprobado aún el alto el fuego y la liberación de rehenes? ¿Está Hamás cambiando los puntos? ¿O Netanyahu intenta mantener en pie su coalición mientras logra la luz verde de su Gobierno? Para analizar el tema, participan en El Debate tres invitados.- Óscar Palma, profesor de la Facultad de Estudios Internacionales, de la Universidad del Rosario (Colombia).-Manuel Férez, especialista en minorías de Medio Oriente y Cáucaso de la Universidad Alberto Hurtado de Santiago de Chile.-Carlos Patiño, docente de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, escritor y analista de asuntos de Medio Oriente.

C dans l'air du 16 janvier 2025 - Trêve Israël / Hamas : un effet Trump ?Après quinze mois de guerre, un accord a été trouvé entre Israël et le Hamas pour cesser les bombardements sur Gaza et programmer la libération progressive des otages israéliens. 33 d'entre eux seraient libérés à partir de dimanche en échange d'un millier de prisonniers palestiniens. Avec le cessez-le-feu, l'armée israélienne est censée se replier vers l'Est et permettre à davantage d'aide humanitaire d'entrer dans l'enclave palestinienne. Voilà ce que prévoit la première phase de l'accord annoncée mercredi soir par les médiateurs qataris, égyptiens et américains qui doit durer 42 jours. Une trêve qui marquerait la fin du calvaire pour les Gazaouis, comme pour les otages israéliens enlevés au cours de l'attaque du Hamas le 7 octobre 2023.Mais de nombreux points restent à régler et l'accord semble encore loin d'une mise en œuvre effective dès dimanche 19 janvier. En cause ? En Israël, le Premier ministre a accusé ce jeudi le Hamas de provoquer "une crise de dernière minute" en revenant sur certains points de l'accord et refuse de donner son feu vert immédiat à la trêve. La veille, son ministre de la Sécurité nationale, Itamar Ben Gvir, avait dénoncé publiquement cet accord qu'il qualifie de "capitulation" et avait appelé son collègue d'extrême droite, le ministre des Finances Bezalel Smotrich, à se joindre à lui pour faire tomber le gouvernement. De son côté, le Hamas a, par la voix d'un de ses dirigeants cités par l'AFP, assuré que le mouvement s'en tenait à l'accord négocié hier, rejetant ainsi les accusations d'Israël.L'État hébreu devait initialement réunir un cabinet de sécurité ce jeudi pour valider les termes de l'accord. Alors que va décider Israël ? Que prévoit cet accord ? Quel a été le rôle des présidents américains dans ces négociations ? Les Etats-Unis ont affirmé être "confiants" pour résoudre les "problèmes de dernière minute" soulevés par les Israéliens. La veille Joe Biden n'a pas caché sa satisfaction, saluant "des mois de diplomatie intense" pour aboutir à l'accord de cessez-le-feu entre Israël et le Hamas à Gaza. Le président américain en fonction pour quelques jours encore a souligné aussi que son administration a "parlé comme une seule équipe" avec celle de Donald Trump qui s'apprête à reprendre les manettes dès lundi 20 janvier. Donald Trump, de son côté, s'est félicité de cet accord, jugeant qu' "il n'a été possible que parce qu'il a été élu en novembre dernier". Lui qui voulait un succès diplomatique avant son entrée à la Maison-Blanche avait promis récemment "l'enfer" à la région si un accord n'était pas noué avant son arrivée au pouvoir, le 20 janvier prochain. Son futur secrétaire d'État a également prôné une "diplomatie audacieuse" pour mettre un terme à la guerre menée en Ukraine par la Russie.

After a number of off the record talks with high ranking sources in Israel, both Gadi and Mike are under the impression that the talks of larger goals are sincere. In that case we are probably witnessing a lull, no more, until President Trump takes office. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's domestic enemies are going into overdrive, with two new surprising investigations: one against the chief of Israel's Prison Service, and one against the chief of Israel's Police in Judea and Samaria. The problem seems to be this: they did what Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, told them to.
Israeli Prime Minister and international fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech on Tuesday encouraging his ministers to accept a ceasefire deal with Lebanon. The truce with Lebanon, Netanyahu said, would allow Israel to rearm itself and focus on the war against Hamas and Iran. He also claimed that the U.S. had assured Israel that it would be permitted to resume its military attacks on Lebanon if Hezbollah violates the agreement.The proposed agreement between Lebanon and Israel does not include any terms requiring Israel to end its war of annihilation against the Palestinians in Gaza. Netanyahu's cabinet voted to accept it, 10-1. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu's far-right minister of national security, was the sole vote against it.Throughout the day Tuesday, as the Lebanese people waited for word on whether their government would accept the deal, Israel pounded Lebanon with massive airstrikes, including fire belt bombings in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiya.The full specifics of the proposal, which was spearheaded by the U.S. and France, have not yet been made public. In his speech announcing the agreement, President Joe Biden characterized the deal as a permanent cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah that would take hold Wednesday morning. He said Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days. Biden emphasized that Israel would retain the right to attack Hezbollah if it posed any threat to Israeli security, confirming Netanyahu's claim.Biden also said he is going to "make another push" for a Gaza ceasefire before leaving office.Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Tuesday evening that he welcomed the ceasefire and called on Israel to respect the terms of the agreement and to fully withdraw from Lebanese territory and cease its attacks. But as of publication, Hezbollah had not released an official statement. A senior Hezbollah official told Al Jazeera that it doubted Netanyahu's commitment to a ceasefire and said the movement was carefully reviewing the terms of the final deal.In recent days, Hezbollah has indicated that it was open to a truce, including one that did not involve an end to the war in Gaza. “When the enemy fails to achieve its [set] goals, this means we have achieved victory,” said Sheikh Naim Qassem, the leader of Hezbollah, on November 20.On this bonus episode of Intercepted — recorded just before Biden's speech at the White House — Jeremy Scahill speaks with Sami Al-Arian, the director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University. They discuss the emerging details of the agreement, its impact on the war against Gaza, and what to expect with Donald Trump's imminent return to power.This episode is a production of Drop Site News, brought to you by a grant from The Intercept.

*) Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of war crimes in Gaza Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. A new report details massive forced displacements and the widespread destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure to permanently displace many Palestinians. Over 90 percent of Gaza's population — which is about 1.9 million people — has fled amid Israel's relentless attacks, with tens of thousands killed, mostly women and children. *) Democrats urge US sanctions on Israeli ministers Nearly 90 Democratic lawmakers urge US President Joe Biden to sanction Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, accusing them of inciting anti-Palestinian violence in the occupied West Bank. The letter, citing 1,270 recorded attacks, highlights concerns over settlement expansion and destabilisation of the Palestinian Authority. Lawmakers insist Biden send a strong message on humanitarian grounds and oppose Israeli annexation plans. *) UN mulls to boost Lebanon peacekeeping efforts The United Nations is preparing to bolster its peacekeeping force UNIFIL in Lebanon to support the Lebanese army after a ceasefire with Israel. Although not enforcing a truce, UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix emphasised UNIFIL's vital role. Diplomatic efforts hinge on UN resolution 1701, with hopes to end hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah near the Israel-Lebanon border. *) Indian court outlaws demolition without due process India's Supreme Court declared it “totally unconstitutional” to demolish homes without due process, issuing a nationwide prohibition against so-called “bulldozer justice.” Opposition parties hailed the verdict, citing it as a critical step toward ending the ruling party BJP's oppression of Muslim communities. Key leaders demanded compensation for victims and hoped this ruling would curb collective punishment against marginalised groups. *) EU fines Meta $840 million for antitrust violations The European Commission has slapped Meta with an $840 million fine, accusing the tech giant of antitrust violations by bundling Facebook with Facebook Marketplace to stifle competition. Facebook's owner Meta plans to appeal but will comply and swiftly develop a solution. This move follows a two-year investigation into anti-competitive practices by Meta in the EU market.
With UN aid agencies and humanitarian organizations warning of an "apocalyptic" scenario in North Gaza, the Biden administration faces a lawsuit charging complicity with genocide. The "pause" that the White House has imposed on some arms shipments to Israel by no means absolves the administration of moral (or legal) culpability. However, it may have had the effect of restraining Benjamin Netanyahu's maximalist plans to cleanse the Gaza Strip of Palestinians altogether. President Trump meanwhile recognized Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and launched the "Abraham Accords"—predicated on betrayal of the Palestinians by the Arab leadership. His 2019 executive order officially embraced the propagandistic conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, and he now calls for complete repression (including by the military) of Palestine solidarity protests. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law who was his Middle East point man, is now openly backing the cleansing of Gaza of all Palestinians, while his ultra-Zionist former ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is an open advocate of Israeli annexation of the West Bank and destruction of al-Aqsa Mosque. As Trump accuses Biden of "holding back" Israel, it is clear that Netanyahu and his most hardline cabinet members like Itamar Ben-Gvir are openly rooting for him—as is the Israel Lobby in DC. In Episode 250 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg urges that the "Abandon Harris" campaign, however laudable its professed aims, can at this point only abet a Trump victory and is therefore inimical to Palestinian survival.

If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enjoys a popularity comeback as a result of Israel's military operation against Hezbollah and the assassination of the group's chief Hassan Nasrallah, he is likely to be tempted to call early elections, Haaretz editor-in-chief Aluf Benn said on the Haaretz Podcast. "It's a tried and true Netanyahu trick when he sees that his adversaries are weak," Benn noted, pointing to the reasons why doing so may be in the Israeli leader's interest, including "getting rid of" his far-right coalition partners Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich and his dependence on them. Benn, a veteran commentator on military and security affairs, said that the decapitation of Hezbollah leadership and its current paralysis represents a significant military victory for Israel. Nasrallah, he said, was a victim of hubris and his downfall came as a shock to allies and enemies alike. "Nasrallah was the symbol of Arab resistance to Israel and the United States," Benn said. "Over the years, he acquired a mythological image, even in Israel, as the man who understands Israel better than the Israelis themselves. But at the end of the day, even he was taken by surprise." The planning and execution of the ongoing offensive against Hezbollah stands in sharp contrast to the failures and missteps of October 7 and difficulties in Gaza when fighting Hamas, said Benn. "The IDF prepared for this attack for 18 years after the humiliation of the Second Lebanon War in 2006, when the IDF was caught unprepared for the kind of war that was waged. So for many years, the focus of Israeli intelligence, of Israeli drills, of operational planning, was Hezbollah." While applauding the operation against Hezbollah, Benn warned that Israel still faces a substantial threat from the "ring of fire" Iran has built around the country. "The Houthis in Yemen are still able to fire missiles at Israel... and the port of Eilat is still closed under the Houthi blockade. Pro-Iranian militias in Syria and Iraq are still there and Iran is still there. And most of the Hezbollah fighting force is alive and can be regrouped, even if not tomorrow or the next day."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comThroughout the course of Israel's brutal 10-month assault on Gaza, Ami Ayalon – the former head of Israel's Security Service, Shin-Bet, and the ex-commander of the Israeli Navy – has emerged as one of the Netanyahu government's chief critics, along with several other former Israeli military officials. In this wide-ranging interview for ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,' Ayalon tells Mehdi why he believes Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir are a threat to Israeli democracy, why it is time to “stop the occupation,” and why he would fight against Israel if he were a Palestinian.“[Netanyahu] did everything in order to increase the power of Hamas and to make sure that Abu Mazen and the Palestinian Authority will not be able to create a unified government,” Ayalon says. “I think that too many Israelis do not understand that we shall not have security unless we shall stop the occupation. And we shall not have democracy unless we shall end the occupation.”As reports of Israeli torture and rape against detained Palestinians continue to emerge, Mehdi also confronts Ayalon over allegations of torture against Shin Bet on his watch - and the former security chief admits to Mehdi that he has “many regrets.”Watch the full interview, above, to see Mehdi debate Ayalon on whether or not Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza by bombing civilian targets.

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. It is day 243 of the war with Hamas. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and political reporter Sam Sokol join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Berman discusses the diplomatic discussions between the various counterparts in the push for a hostage agreement, as the Biden administration pushes for a first phase of a deal, and waits for the first stages of agreement from Hamas via Qatar. He notes that Israel has agreed to move forward on the deal, and that the government is doing more than he expected to get the hostages out. That said, Israel is insisting on toppling Hamas militarily, getting all hostages out and ensuring that Gaza will not be a future platform for terrorist attacks. Berman also discusses Netanyahu's conversation with French prime minister Emmanuel Macron who reemphasized French support for Israel and the hostages. Sokol looks at the reactions of far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich to the hostage talks, as they have threatened to bring down the government if Netanyahu signs what they consider a reckless deal. He also notes that the ultra-Orthodox are in favor of the deal, given their long-time support of Netanyahu. The Haredi parties generally don't weigh in on security issues, given that their communities don't serve in the army. Finally, Sokol offers a quick preview of the upcoming Jerusalem Day flag march into the Old City, an often controversial event particularly given the presence of Ben Gvir at the march.

The Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said any deal that resulted in a ceasefire in Gaza before Hamas was destroyed would be a victory for terrorism.
