In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, to expose the corruption and hypocrisy within the United Nations and how it has become one of the world's biggest enablers of antisemitism and terror.From the Soviet Union's 1975 campaign declaring “Zionism is racism” to today's Hamas apologists like Francesca Albanese, Neuer reveals how the UN was captured by authoritarian regimes and weaponised against Israel. He details how organisations like UNRWA have been infiltrated by Hamas operatives, turning schools and aid programmes into fronts for jihad — all funded by Western taxpayers.Neuer explains why the so-called “rules-based international order” never truly existed, how the Human Rights Council became a haven for dictatorships, and why Britain and Europe continue to bankroll organisations that indoctrinate children to hate.A shocking and essential conversation on the UN's betrayal of its founding principles, the persistence of antisemitism in international institutions, and the urgent need for moral courage and reform in the West.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction2:59 Francesca Albanese and the UN's Inconsistencies 5:16 Albanese's Support for Hamas and Anti-Semitism8:03 The UN Human Rights Council and Its Members 11:00 The UN's Political Nature and the ICJ 13:24 The UN's Decline and the Soviet Influence17:17 The 1975 UN Resolution on Zionism29:52 UNRWA's Role and Its Radicalisation 34:24 UNRWA's Operations and Corruption52:15 The Need for De-Radicalisation and Reform 55:04 The Role of the UN and Future Reforms Hosted on Acast.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommunisteparty het die raadgewende opinie van die Internasionale Geregshof verwelkom wat die Palestynse volk se reg op 'n onafhanklike en soewereine staatskap en selfbeskikking herbevestig. Pius Vilakati van die SAKP sê hierdie grondliggende reg is deur die apartheid-Israel-regime onderdruk sedert Palestina vanaf 1947 binnegeval en beset is. Hy sê die regime het hongersnood as deel van sy volksmoordaanval op Gaza gebruik en dringend nodige humanitêre hulp geblokkeer:

Uluslararası Adalet Divanı (UAD), İsrail'in Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) kuruluşlarına yönelik kısıtlamalarının hukuki sonuçlarını değerlendiren danışma görüşünde, İsrail'in UNRWA'ya yönelik eylemlerinin uluslararası hukuka aykırı olduğunu tespit etti. Yazan: Selman Aksünger  Seslendiren: Halil İbrahim Ciğer

Il genocidio non va in tregua. Mentre qualcuno celebra una pace che non esiste, i numeri raccolti da Medici Senza Frontiere cancellano ogni illusione: almeno 740 pazienti, tra cui 137 bambini, sono morti tra luglio 2024 e agosto 2025 in attesa di evacuazione; oltre 15.600 persone restano intrappolate in liste per trattamenti salvavita, un quarto sono minori. Solo 14 ospedali su 36 sopravvivono a regime ridotto, certifica l'OMS. Questa non è una tregua: è una sospensione amministrativa della morte, con il flusso di sangue regolato da chi tiene in mano la valvola. La Corte internazionale di giustizia ha stabilito che Israele è obbligato a consentire e facilitare gli aiuti umanitari, incluso l'accesso di UNRWA. Ventiquattr'ore dopo, un funzionario israeliano risponde che «UNRWA non metterà più piede a Gaza». Un no secco alla legalità internazionale, quasi rivendicato. Nel frattempo, i carri armati sparano ancora a Khan Yunis e Sheikh Nasser, mentre ufficialmente la tregua resta in vigore. Anche la verità continua a essere sequestrata: la Corte Suprema israeliana ha rinviato ancora di trenta giorni la decisione sull'accesso dei giornalisti a Gaza, lasciando sul tavolo la petizione della Foreign Press Association. Nel frattempo, le autorità israeliane liquidano un collaboratore della ZDF ucciso come «terrorista travestito da giornalista». Dentro questo palco di devastazione, la nuova relazione di Francesca Albanese, Relatrice speciale ONU, pronuncia parole definitive: il genocidio è un «crimine collettivo», reso possibile dalla complicità degli Stati che sostengono politicamente, militarmente e diplomaticamente Israele. Chi continua a parlare di pace copre il rumore dei carri che non si sono mai fermati. Chi continua a stringere mani sporche di embargo e veto, ne condivide il crimine. Per questo tutti gli occhi devono rimanere su Gaza. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

La OMS completa la primera evacuación médica desde el alto el fuego en Gaza. El comisionado de UNRWA  pide a los donantes reactivar el apoyo a la agencia. En Sudán, Naciones Unidas alerta sobre una de las peores crisis humanitarias del mundo. Y en Ucrania, la planta nuclear de Zaporiyia vuelve a conectarse a la red eléctrica. 

Die Internasionale Geregshof sê Israel is verplig om die lewering van humanitêre hulp aan die Gaza-strook deur die Verenigde Nasies en sy entiteite te fasiliteer, om te verseker dat daar aan die basiese behoeftes van die Palestynse burgerlikes voldoen word. Die raadgewende mening, wat deur die VN se Algemene Vergadering aangevra is, sê Israel het nie sy bewerings gestaaf dat die VN-agentskap vir Palestynse vlugtelinge, Unrwa, nie neutraal is nie. Daar is ook nie bewyse dat 'n aansienlike aantal van sy personeel lede van Hamas of ander gewapende groepe is of was nie. Israel het die mening as “polities” verwerp en weier samewerking met Unrwa. Sky News se Alan Parsons lewer kommentaar uit Jerusalem.

Die Internasionale Geregshof sê Israel het ʼn verpligting om seker te maak daar word voldoen aan burgerlikes in Gaza se behoeftes. Dit kom na die hof in ʼn raadgewende mening verklaar die Verenigde Nasies se agentskap vir Palestynse vlugtelinge het nie reëls oor onpartydigheid oortree nie en Israel moet die agentskap se hulppogings ondersteun. Regter Iwasawa Yuji het die nie-afdwingbare uitspraak gelewer en sê Israel kan nie verhongering as wapen gebruik nie:

La Corte internazionale di giustizia ribadisce a Israele - nel primo pronunciamento del processo per crimini di guerra - che è obbligatorio far entrare gli aiuti umanitari, anche tramite Unrwa, bandita da Gaza. I lavoratori dell'azienda Leonardo di Grottaglie scrivono all'azienda chiedendo di non vendere più armi a Israele.Per la prima volta, il presidente ucraino Vlodimyr Zelensky chiede pubblicamente di cominciare le trattative con la Russia a partire dalle attuali linee di confine, seguendo le richieste di Trump. Intanto Rewilding Ukraine - durante la guerra - ha rinaturalizzato oltre 13mila ettari di terre umide, utilizzate anche dai soldati per decomprimere.Negli Stati Uniti, la conta dei danni da eventi climatici estremi ammonta a oltre 100 miliardi di dollari, solo per il primo semestre del 2025. Per la prima volta, l'evento più costo non è un uragano ma un incendio, con ben 61 miliardi di dollari di danni per le fiamme a Los Angeles a inizio anno.

La tregua continua a produrre morti. Secondo i dati diffusi ieri da Gaza, 88 palestinesi sono stati uccisi e 315 feriti dall'inizio del cessate il fuoco. Israele ha restituito i corpi di altri 30 palestinesi: salgono a 195 i cadaveri consegnati durante quella che continua a essere definita “pace”. La tregua è un frigorifero che conserva solo il ritmo costante della morte. Gli aiuti, invece, marciscono fuori dai confini della Striscia: l'UNRWA denuncia circa seimila camion ancora in attesa di ingresso. La Corte Internazionale di Giustizia dell'Aja ieri ha stabilito che Israele non ha fornito prove sui presunti legami tra UNRWA e Hamas e ha ordinato a Tel Aviv di consentire il passaggio degli aiuti, vietando l'uso della fame come arma di guerra. La risposta israeliana è stata di disprezzo: la sentenza è stata definita «vergognosa». Vergognosa, per loro, è la giustizia quando incrina il recinto dell'impunità. Nel frattempo l'Occidente continua a recitare la liturgia della responsabilità condivisa. Il vicepresidente Usa Vance parla di un «compito difficile» nel disarmare Hamas, ma condiziona ogni ipotesi di ricostruzione alla resa. Netanyahu ribadisce che nessuna truppa turca metterà piede a Gaza: anche i carcerieri devono essere selezionati. In Italia, Giorgia Meloni ha celebrato il piano Trump come un successo diplomatico e ha accusato le piazze solidali con Gaza di «cinismo» per aver trasformato la sofferenza in propaganda. C'è un ribaltamento morale quando chi sostiene una tregua che continua a produrre cadaveri si arroga il diritto di definire cosa sia etico. Il concime delle bombe, della fame e di un genocidio a bassa intensità è il nostro silenzio. Per questo tutti gli occhi devono rimanere su Gaza. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

The International Court of Justrice, the UN's top court, has found that Israel has a responsibility to ensure aid reaches the people of Gaza and cooperate with UN agencies, including UNRWA. Israel severed ties with UNRWA last year, accusing it of collusion with Hamas. Also on the programme: the price Chinese people are paying for a slowing economy; and Donald Trump takes his brand of property development to the White House.

In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Doug and Pesach sit down with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, to pull back the curtain on the United Nations' troubling record toward Israel and the West. From the UN's response to October 7th, to the ongoing funding of UNRWA despite its deep ties to Hamas, Neuer exposes the systemic bias that fuels global misinformation. We also discuss why Christian persecution gets little to no attention at the UN, how Western nations keep enabling the problem, and what must change for true human rights to prevail.

Aimar Bretos entrevista al comisionado general de la Agencia de Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados de Palestina en Oriente Próximo (UNRWA)

UNRWA pide que se respete el alto el fuego en Gaza tras el ataque a una de sus escuelas. La violencia sexual contra las mujeres en conflictos se dispara un 90%. Un sistema comercial basado en normas es fundamental para evitar una guerra arancelaria. 

Host Steven Shalowitz speaks with veteran Israeli diplomat Shahar Azani in a special IsraelCast episode recorded on October 13, 2025—just hours after the final 20 hostages were released from Hamas captivity. Framing the moment as a “miracle” and the start of a long national healing, Azani underscores the medical, emotional, and spiritual recovery ahead for the freed hostages and for Israelis still processing the trauma of October 7. Azani credits the release to relentless IDF pressure combined with President Trump's hard-edged diplomacy, which he says aligned the U.S., Israel, and key Arab states to isolate Hamas and weaken Iran. Looking forward, he argues that Gaza must be demilitarized and undergo sustained deradicalization, with reform of incitement-laden curricula—particularly in UNRWA schools—placed at the top of the diplomatic agenda. He and Steven also survey the resilience of the Abraham Accords, citing durable ties through the war and hinting at future breakthroughs with countries like Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and even Lebanon.

Professor Liat Kozma explains that Israel has been systematically working to delegitimize and restrict international NGOs and human rights organizations operating with Palestinians in the occupied territories. One of the largest of these organizations, UNRWA, which has provided services in Gaza for many years, has been banned from operating in areas under Israeli control — including East Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, and Gaza. Professor Kozma teaches in the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies and holds the Harry Friedenwald Chair in the History of Medicine at the Hebrew University.

Jacqui Vital has a simple message for the anxious families of the 48 remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, who are set to be released this week: “I'm glad for them.” But despite the joy and celebration of the long-awaited truce between Israel and Hamas, Vital's own work in Canada is incomplete. Vital, along with the other families of the eight Canadians murdered on Oct. 7, is still pushing the Canadian government to do more to hold terrorist supporters in this country accountable for their actions. Vital's daughter Adi Vital-Kaploun, 33, was murdered in her kibbutz safe room on Oct. 7. Terrorists carried her two small boys into Gaza. They were released the same day. Earlier this week, on the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre, the families wrote to Prime Minister Mark Carney, asking to meet in person: not only to tell him Adi's story, but to get him to show the same level of compassion for Canadian citizens who were killed as she feels Ottawa has shown to the Palestinians in Gaza. Vital, an Ottawa native, engaged in several meetings with the former prime minister Justin Trudeau. But now they feel slighted by Carney, who has not made time for them since his election in March. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, we speak with Jacqui Vital in Jerusalem about the mood in Israel during this heady time, and how she's navigating the second Yarhzeit of her daughter's death.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This is a reverberating ethos through Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir's latest film, Palestine 36, which chronicles the last days of the British Mandate of Palestine and its lasting ramifications. Produced by Philistine Films, BBC Film, BFI, Doha Film Institute, Watermelon Pictures and more, and starring Hiam Abbass, Yasmine Al Massri, Saleh Bakri, Jeremy Irons, Robert Aramayo of The Rings of Power, Liam Cunningham of Game of Thrones, Karim Daoud Anaya, and others, the film details the violent colonization of Palestine that violently continues to today. Why does such colonization happen? What are the societal, capitalistic, and manipulative tactics employed? What does Palestine 36 have to teach us for today's many challenges?

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Israel quickly denied the charge, accusing the IPC of “biased and self-interested sources originating from Hamas.”It's hard to identify the truth about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but one thing is clear: the U.N. has worked to weaponize the famine narrative as part of its campaign against Israel and against the Israel/US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which supplanted much of the U.N.'s role in Gaza.To discuss this disturbing part of the equation, we are joined by Rich Goldberg. Rich is a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He served in both Trump administrations, including on the White House National Security Council staff. He also spent a decade on Capitol Hill, as an aide to a U.S. House Member and U.S. Senator, where Rich worked on congressional oversight of U.N.

So you were too busy to listen to much news this past week? Crosstalk has you covered. Dalton had much to share and he'll get you caught up when you review this edition of the weekly News Round-Up! Here are some highlights from the first half of the broadcast: --As Dalton was getting started with the program, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin were about to meet, with the talks being held at the heavily guarded Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. --On Thursday, Vladimir Putin praised the Trump administration's energetic and sincere efforts to end the war in Ukraine, even suggesting that a nuclear arms control agreement could emerge from broader peace talks. --An Al Jazeera journalist who was killed by an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip was in fact the leader of a Hamas terrorist cell. --Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted that cease-fire efforts in Gaza are now focused on a comprehensive deal that would release the remaining hostages all at once rather than in phases. --Israel is engaged in discussions with five nations: Indonesia, Somaliland, Uganda, South Sudan and Libya over the potential voluntary resettlement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. --President Trump has said he was able to call Aleksandr Lukashenko, president of Belarus, about the release of 16 prisoners, as well as the potential release of an additional 1,300 prisoners being held in that nation. --Australia will recognize a Palestinian state in September. --Israeli Defense Forces discovered documents in Gaza that show the overlap between UNRWA and Hamas relative to the October 2023 atrocities.

But the project was ill-fated from its inception. A good faith commitment to feeding Gazans would been leaving the U.N. Relief and Works Agency intact. Four hundred distribution sites under UNRWA became just four under GHF's control, and Palestinian corpses accumulated at distribution sites as contractors shot at crowds and distributed meagre meals to a starving population. Meanwhile, contractors being paid $1200 per day slept in luxury across the border in Israel, while they ordered Domino's Pizza to feed Palestinian staffers that had not been provided for. In his shocking testimony, Aguilar blows the whistle on offenses more egregious than you can imagine. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

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. Hamas negotiators arrived in Egypt this week for talks aimed at getting moribund ceasefire and hostage release negotiations back on track, with Israel having reportedly sent a team to Doha. Horovitz updates us on the status of negotiations. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir yesterday approved the general outline for the military’s upcoming major offensive to conquer Gaza City. This comes after a highly charged conflict with Defense Minister Israel Katz earlier this week. Horovitz takes us through this unusual public spat and what we know so far about the plan to take Gaza City. Yesterday, Spain signaled support for French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal of an international coalition under a United Nations mandate to stabilize Gaza -- including deploying the controversial UNRWA agency -- calling it “one of the tools” that could bring peace to the region. Horovitz briefly comments. Even as much of the western world is pushing for a two-state solution, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed in a rare Hebrew-language interview that he felt a connection to the vision of “Greater Israel.” We learn more about the bizarre interaction during an i24 interview, which has spurred international condemnation. Horovitz sat down with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee this week for an in-depth interview. Horovitz brings highlights, including Huckabee's stalwart support and the Baptist minister's impressions of how Gazans see the US and the IDF. The CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival said overnight that he is working to get "The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue," a documentary about the October 7 massacre, back on the big screen, apologizing after the movie was pulled from the festival schedule, which sparked a large outcry. Horovitz describes the surreal request by the festival's organizers to obtain permission for use of the Hamas October 7 footage. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

“12 UN Relief Works Agency staff members are accused of involvement in Hamas' attack against Israel,” reports NPR. “Details Emerge on U.N. Workers Accused of Aiding Hamas Raid,” announces The New York Times. “Hamas Military Compound Found Beneath U.N. Agency Headquarters in Gaza,” claims The Wall Street Journal. In January 2024—literally on the same day the International Court of Justice deemed Israel was committing “plausible genocide”—a number of sensationalistic headlines broke across U.S. media, namely The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, telling us in 40-point font that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the single most important supplier of food and medical aid in Palestine, was in fact a front for "Hamas." Western audiences were told that, based on “Israeli intelligence”, 12 workers at the agency may have been involved in the attacks on October 7, 2023, and, in another blockbuster claim, that “Around 10% of Palestinian aid agency's 12,000 staff in Gaza have links to militants, according to intelligence dossier.” Given this history, the logic went, who knows how else the agency might be operating at the behest of Hamas? It would have been a major revelation if there were any evidence to support it. But there wasn't and the story was later dropped, walked back or ignored by the media. But the damage was done: President Biden quickly defunded UNRWA and Israel criminalized it, helping fast track mass starvation in Gaza. So why did media outlets publish so many breathless and lurid headlines about Israel's claims without an ounce of independent confirmation? To what extent, if any, have outlets acknowledged their journalistic and moral recklessness? And how has this contributed to the mass starvation, immiseration, and wholesale murder of the population of Gaza? On this episode, Part I of our two-part season finale on “The Importance of Seriousness, or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide,” we examine the role of legacy news media in inciting the starvation of millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the racist double standard of what sources and experts can be trusted and the broader incitement campaign against the UN Relief and Works Agency which directly caused today's mass starvation in Gaza. Our guest is Moureen Kaki, Head of Mission at Glia.

Why Gaza's famine is the "most intense" in decades ... From food secure to starvation: How Gaza unraveled ... Blinken's willful blindness to Israel's obstruction of aid ... How the US muzzled its own famine warning system ... The political power of the term "famine" ... What starvation does to the body—and to society ... The perverse logic of starvation as warfare ... How the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation puts aid in Hamas's hands ... Evaluating Israel's accusation against UNRWA ... How many Gazans are dying of starvation? ... Why a blockade might be worse than an invasion ...

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Ron DeSantis is enforcing immigration law! He announces that Alligator Alcatraz is now deporting illegal immigrants, and the Democrats hate it. Also, President Trump's advisors are mistaken in claiming blanket absolute immunity under the Supreme Court's Presidential immunity ruling. The decision provides absolute immunity for core presidential duties but only presumptive immunity for peripheral ones, which can be rebutted if actions fall outside legitimate responsibilities. Yes, Barack Obama can be investigated for the Russia collusion hoax. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in to explain that Senate Republicans are perpetuating a tactic originated by former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2007, using "pro forma" sessions—brief, token meetings every three days during congressional breaks—to prevent the Senate from entering a true recess. This blocks Trump from making recess appointments under the Constitution, leading to significant delays: only 86 nominees confirmed six months into his term, with 256 still pending and no U.S. attorneys approved, forcing reliance on acting officials. What are the Republicans doing?! There is no defense for this.  Afterward, Israel is supplying food, medicine, and necessities, but these are being held up by Hamas, which is desperate to survive. Hamas steals food, tries to starve the Gazans, then blames Israel, and the media runs with it. Hamas also hoards aid in tunnels, kills Palestinians attempting to access it, collaborates with the UN and UNRWA to control distribution, and sells portions to fund arms purchases from Egypt.
