Bryant led the Pentagon office for civilian harm assessment from 2024 to 2025, before the unit was dissolved under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Israeli torture of Palestinians is a core state policy, a new United Nations (UN) report led by Francesca Albanese warns. The UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine found that various forms of torture have become tools of the genocide. And she warned that the practice extends far beyond prison walls.

Albanese said: "Since the onset of the genocide, the Israeli prison system has degenerated into a laboratory of calculated cruelty."

The German carmaker has held talks with Rafael Advanced Defence Systems to repurpose its Osnabruck plant, shifting production from vehicles to components for Israel’s Iron Dome system, the Financial Times reported.

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) arrested pro-Palestine activists against its own internal guidance, documents seen by Declassified suggest.

The files, obtained through Freedom of Information requests, also show that the force is cracking down on the use of Arabic words far beyond its controversial policing of the term intifada.

Met police failed to follow internal guidelines on policing Palestine protests

Internal guidances also show the force cracking down on Arabic words in a way that ‘smacks’ of racism, say pro-Palestinian advocates

Yousef al-Lahham, 54, walked through the Khan Younis market last week looking for food, but was unable to find anything even remotely affordable.

Prices for basic necessities in the Gaza Strip have continued to rise ever since the U.S. and Israel started their war on Iran. For Palestinians in Gaza, who have lived through repeated waves of food shortages, man-made famine, and soaring food prices, this all feels familiar.

The US and Israel started the war in Iran with illegal and unprovoked attacks. Yet now, it seems that shit got a little too real for him.

You had no right to bomb and murder nearly 200 little girls in the name of freeing Iranian women.

It took FIFA only hours to condemn Russia in 2022 and just four days to impose a ban on its teams. But it would be foolish, given their rampant hypocrisy, to expect any such thing after the US and Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran.

Iran’s participation in the 2026 World Cup remains uncertain [..] the escalating military tensions make participation “unlikely.”

A petition calling for a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics and democracy in the UK has gathered more than 100,000 signatures and will now be considered for debate in the House of Commons.

The UK Parliament petition, started by Andy Kalil, got off to a slow start but has picked up huge pace since attracting support from well-known campaigners such as political movement Occupy London and activist Peter Tatchell.

Once again, the U.S.-Israel Axis has launched an unnecessary, unprovoked, and deeply immoral attack against the sovereign nation of Iran.

But what is largely missing from Western corporate media coverage of the attack is that it is also an entirely unlawful, indeed criminal act.

And that the armed Iranian response, as a matter of international law, is both justified and entirely lawful.

Israelis have grown used to the urgent routines of preparing for war.

On Saturday morning, the neighbourhoods of Tel Aviv were busy with people - some rushing to bomb shelters as air raid sirens wailed and others hurriedly loading children, pets and suitcases into cars to flee the city.

Alongside familiar feelings of fear and uncertainty, the newly escalated conflict with Iran has forged a renewed mood of national unity.

The recent decision by the FAI and the Irish Government to support not only playing Israel, a state indicted for plausible genocide at the International Court of Justice, but to double down on playing in Dublin in September, is regrettable.

Little has changed for the better since October 2025, when a “ceasefire” came into force, except the eyes of the world’s media have turned away.
