Benjamin Netanyahu

Congress Is Pushing To Integrate The Israeli And US Militaries

June 12, 2026 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Last month, Responsible Statecraft’s Ben Freeman reported on a provision buried in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that seeks to deepen connections between the United States and Israeli militaries. Section 224, the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative”, would synchronize efforts between the the two countries “to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.” “The result could well be a U.S. political system even more susceptible to the whims of an Israeli government that seemingly has no qualms about drawing the U.S. into military conflicts in the Middle East,” wrote Freeman.

Trump Rejects ‘Unacceptable’ Iranian Response After Call With Netanyahu

May 11, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s response to the new ceasefire proposal from Washington late on 10 May, calling it “unacceptable” right after a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "I have just read the response from Iran's so called 'Representatives.' I don't like it – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!" the president wrote on Truth Social. Trump also told Axios that he does not “like their letter.” He went on to call the Iranian response “inappropriate.” "They have been tapping along many nations for 47 years," Trump added.

Israel’s Vulnerability And Palestinian Leverage

April 29, 2026 Ramzy Baroud, Consortium News. , , ,
It is tempting to argue that Israel’s new military doctrine is predicated on perpetual war — but the reality is more complex. Not that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would object to such an arrangement. On the contrary, his relentless drive for military escalation suggests precisely that. After all, his openly declared quest for a “greater Israel” would require exactly this kind of permanent militarism — endless expansion and sustained regional destruction. However, Israel cannot sustain an open-ended fight on multiple fronts indefinitely.

We Will Never Abandon Our Prisoners Alone In Their Struggle

April 20, 2026 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
For over five decades, Palestinians have observed Palestinian Prisoner’s Day on April 17 as a national day to honor the thousands of Palestinian political detainees held in Israeli occupation prisons, highlight their struggle, and demand their freedom. In commemoration of the day, which is considered by Palestinians as a sacred occasion of patriotism and loyalty, Peoples Dispatch spoke to Mr. Raed Abu al-Hummus, head of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs. Abu al-Hummus, who is also a freed Palestinian prisoner, assumed his new position in the commission with the rank of minister in February 2025, amid highly challenging political and security circumstances.

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”.
