Netanyahu Strikes Out In Washington

February 13, 2026 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a hasty trip to Washington this week. He met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, and the main topic of discussion was a potential war with Iran.  In an unusual, though not unique, turn of events, very little about the meeting was made public. There was no press conference, no major statement, not even a readout from either the American or Israeli side.  Aside from Iran, the only other topic mentioned specifically was Gaza, and this tells us something. Given the major developments in the West Bank earlier this week and the response those developments have gotten from Europe and some Arab and Muslim states, the fact that there was no specific mention of the West Bank is significant. 

Washington Imposes ‘Terrorist-Grade Sanctions’ On Francesca Albanese, Judges

February 7, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
White House officials have used “terrorist-grade sanctions” to target officials from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, freezing assets and disrupting war crimes investigations, Reuters reported on 6 February. According to interviews the news agency conducted with U.S. and UN officials and sanctioned individuals, Washington is seeking to penalize the ICC over investigations into US and Israeli war crimes. The effort to target the UN and ICC came in response to requests from at least two US tech companies involved in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Leaked Documents Reveal US Plan To Bankroll New Israeli Tank Factory

January 13, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Washington may bankroll the construction of a new Israeli armored vehicle plant with up to $2 billion from military aid funds, according to US documents cited by Haaretz newspaper. Last year, an Israeli ministerial panel for defense procurement approved the “Armored Vehicle Acceleration Project,” an initiative aimed at boosting the production rate of Israel’s Merkava tank, as well as its Namer and Eitan personnel carriers. The initiative is meant to span a five-year period. Two US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) presentations cited by Haaretz show that Washington is likely to take part in financing, designing, and constructing the “Joint Systems Manufacturing Center.”

Netanyahu To Seek Trump’S Approval For Attacks On Iran

December 21, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly ask US President Donald Trump to greenlight a new assault on Iran to target its ballistic missile program, NBC News reported on 21 December. Citing a person with direct knowledge of the Israeli plans and four former US officials, NBC reported that Netanyahu is expected to present options for a renewed attack in a meeting between the two leaders tentatively scheduled for 29 December at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Miami, Florida. "Netanyahu is expected to make the case to Trump that Iran's expansion of its ballistic missile program poses a threat that could necessitate swift action," the sources told NBC.

Tiktok, Oracle, And Israel: The New Geopolitics Of Algorithms

October 9, 2025 Miguel Ruiz, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Launched in 2017 by the private Chinese company ByteDance, TikTok quickly became one of the most important social networks on the planet. By early 2025, it had 1.6 billion active users, more than half of them outside China, of whom an estimated 170 million are North American; 1 in 5 people in the US get their news from this network, 4 in 10 among the 18-29 age group. Today, it is the fastest-growing platform among the younger segments of the global population. The US government has waged a long battle to force ByteDance to sell the US branch of TikTok to a group of “domestic” capitalists, citing national security concerns and threatening to ban the platform in the US if the deal did not go through.

Power And Justice

October 7, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Scheer Post. , , ,
Those were an eventful few days as the General Assembly convened at the United Nations Secretariat in New York Sept. 22. France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco and Andorra formally recognized the state of Palestine on the first day of the General Debate, Sept. 23. Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal had done so two days earlier. With Spain, New Zealand, Finland, Ireland, Norway and other nations also recognizing, virtually the whole of the Western bloc except the United States now accepts Palestine as a sovereign state. The imperium fades further into its corner. Always good. And eventful days have followed all the new endorsements of the sovereignty of the Palestinian people. President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, presented a grandly titled Gaza Peace Plan at the White House on Monday, Sept. 29.

Hamas Just Accepted Trump’s ‘Peace’ Plan

October 4, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
The response of Hamas to U.S. President Donald Trump’s “peace” plan to end the war in Gaza came in late on Friday. It sparked immediate and conflicting reactions. Five days after the U.S. president first announced his plan, the Palestinian movement gave its answer in a statement announcing that Hamas announced its “approval for the release of all hostages — living and dead – according to the exchange formula included in President Trump’s proposal.” Hamas added that it was ready to enter talks “to discuss the details.” In a move practically unheard of by a U.S. president, Trump shared Hamas’s statement on his account on Truth Social: “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting peace,” Trump said, adding that “Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the hostages out safely and quickly!”

The Gaza ‘Peace Plan’: A Neo-Colonial Takeover

October 1, 2025 Andy Worthington. , , , , ,
After nearly two years of the most horrific live-streamed genocide in history, the majority of the world’s eight billion people, shocked and appalled to varying degrees, want nothing less than an end to the ceaseless murder of Palestinian civilians and the total eradication of the Gaza Strip, the provision of humanitarian aid and medical supplies in vast quantities, and the reconstruction of Gaza. They — we — also want the establishment of Palestinian autonomy so thorough that Israel can no longer treat Palestinians as vermin to be slaughtered in the pursuit of the malignant dream that has been the driver of its existence since its blood-soaked founding 77 years ago — the total control of all Palestinian land, and the complete subjugation, disappearance or extermination of the entire Palestinian population.

Internal Power And External Dependency In The Recognition Of The State Of Palestine

October 1, 2025 Bikrum Gill, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , , ,
Two years on from Al Aqsa Flood, and its historic significance only deepens. The question of Palestine assuming centre stage at the 2025 UN General Assembly cannot be delinked from the crisis that Al Aqsa Flood has imposed upon zionism and the broader Western world order.[1] The prominence of Palestine at this year’s UNGA is all the more striking given that, just two years earlier, Netanyahu stood before the same body to gloat about the supposed “end” of the Palestinian question and the normalization of zionist relations with Arab states.[2] The Palestinian question at the UNGA centered, most notably, on the recognition of the State of Palestine by several major Western powers.

Trump Says Israel Can ‘Finish The Job’ In Gaza If Hamas Rejects Latest Plan

September 30, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
President Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the latest U.S.-backed “peace plan,” which is ostensibly aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza. Trump made the announcement during a joint press conference with Netanyahu, which followed a White House meeting between the two leaders. It’s Netanyahu’s fourth trip to Washington since Trump began his term in January. During the meeting, Trump facilitated an Oval Office phone call between Netanyahu and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani, in which the Israeli leader apologized for the September 9 attack on Doha. Netanyahu expressed regret about the strikes and, specifically, “that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty,” according to a White House readout of the phone call.

Israeli PM Gets A New York Welcome Outside The United Nations

September 27, 2025 Maysa Mustafa, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a half-empty room at the UN General Assembly, thousands of protesters were gathered in Times Square to condemn his presence in New York City. Netanyahu was issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023. All members of the ICC, which includes the United States, are legally obliged to enforce the warrants, though Hungary, an Israeli ally, has officially begun the process of withdrawal from the ICC. The Israeli prime minister gave a combative speech to a nearly empty UN General Assembly hall on Friday, where he portrayed himself as the standard-bearer of mainstream Israel in rejecting the creation of a Palestinian state and denouncing Israel's genocide in Gaza as “a joke”.

Israel Is Committing Genocide In Gaza, UN Commission Says

September 22, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
A United Nations commission has conclusively stated that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. This genocide has had the full support of the United States, under both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. In fact, since October 2023, the US government has vetoed six resolutions in the UN Security Council that called for peace in Gaza. The latest example was on 18 September, when 14 of the 15 members of the Security Council voted for a resolution that demanded a ceasefire and the release of all hostages. The United States was the only country that opposed it, and Washington has veto power, so it killed the measure.

Netanyahu’s Plan To Occupy Gaza Violates World Court Ruling

August 12, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Scheer Post. , , , ,
As the death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip surpasses 61,000 and Israel continues to starve Gazans to death, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear that Israel plans to occupy all of Gaza. When asked in an August 7 appearance on Fox News whether Israel would “take control of all of Gaza,” Netanyahu replied, “We intend to.” The Israeli Occupation Forces say they already control about 75 percent of Gaza. The remaining 25 percent includes Gaza City, Khan Younis, and many neighborhoods and refugee camps in central Gaza. Israel’s occupation of Gaza flies in the face of the July 19 ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ, or World Court). I

Israel’s Government Issues ‘Death Sentence’ To Remaining Captives

August 10, 2025 Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , ,
In June 2024, after Israel’s army slaughtered over 200 civilians in Gaza’s Nuseirat Refugee Camp, including several execution style killings to extricate a hostage, Noa Argamani, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced a new policy: if Israel soldiers came too close to areas where captives were held, the prisoners would lose their lives. Israel’s refusal to heed this policy led to the killing of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five others just over two months later. Now, in a fit of desperation, after failing to force the hand of Hamas through imposed famine and previous campaigns of military pressure, Israel’s security cabinet has approved plans to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza City and occupy urban areas where captives might be located.

Netanyahu Orders Israeli Army To Conquer All Of Gaza

August 5, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
The Israeli war cabinet met on Monday to decide on the next phase of Israel’s war on Gaza. The meeting was reportedly to choose between ending the war in favor of ceasefire talks or expanding it to reoccupy the entire Strip. According to initial unconfirmed reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has briefed “friendly journalists” that he has ordered the Israeli army to “conquer Gaza” in the face of opposition from the army’s Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir. Netanyahu’s office reportedly told N12: “The decision has been made — Israel is going to conquer the Gaza Strip.”
