Israeli War Chief Threatens Lebanon

April 18, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened on 17 April that the Lebanon ceasefire is “temporary,” while vowing that occupation forces will not withdraw from the country’s south.  The war chief said the Israeli army “holds and will continue to hold all the areas it has cleared and captured.” “The ground maneuver into Lebanon and the strikes against Hezbollah throughout Lebanon have achieved many accomplishments, but they have not yet been completed,” he added.  “We are inside Lebanon in the midst of a war against Hezbollah, with a temporary freeze and a 10-day ceasefire.

From Dunks To Drones: The NBA Has An Israel Problem

April 18, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , ,
Many of the National Basketball Association’s biggest stars are quietly allying themselves with the State of Israel, making official visits to the country, meeting IDF troops, and investing in its national security industry. Meanwhile, individuals criticizing Israel and supporting Palestinian liberation have been condemned, threatened, and marginalized. While putting money into drones or Israeli technology may seem a rather abstract, faraway investment for American NBA stars, they are increasingly coming to negatively affect Black communities across the United States.

The Collapse Is Real; Lebanon Ceasefire Marks A Historic Strategic Defeat

April 17, 2026 Ramzy Baroud, Counter Punch. , , ,
A ceasefire in Lebanon was announced on Thursday by US President Donald Trump, but its reality tells a very different story. The ceasefire was not the product of American diplomacy, nor Israeli strategic calculation. It was imposed—largely as a result of sustained Iranian pressure. Washington, Tel Aviv, and their allies—including some within Lebanon itself—will continue to deny this reality. Acknowledging Iran’s role would mean admitting that a historic precedent has been set: for the first time, forces opposing the United States and Israel have succeeded in imposing conditions on both.

April 16, 2026 Middle East Monitor. , , , , ,
Written in response to last month’s military attack on the country, the letter delivers a swingeing critique of US foreign policy and historical conduct, accusing Washington of pursuing a doctrine of absolute predation. It highlights major US wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, referring to “the genocidal horror of Vietnam,” “the annihilation of Cambodia,” and the “systematic slaughter of Koreans,” as well as the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. The open letter, titled ‘A Declaration to the Conscience of Humanity,’ is signed by over 170 signatories from 30 countries and signatories include former UN officials, retired career diplomats, former ministers, scholars, politicians and former parliamentarians, military and security professionals, artists, lawyers as well as journalists, activists, and anti-war campaigners.

April 16, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
A European Citizens' Initiative calling for the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement surpassed one million signatures, just three months after its mid-January launch, organizers from the European Left Alliance announced on 14 April. “One million people have spoken: the EU must fully suspend its Association Agreement with Israel – the EU must stand for international law and stop its complicity with Israel’s genocide,” the organizers said in their statement.  The petition demands the full suspension of the agreement over “violations of international law and human rights,” as well as Israel’s “genocide, occupation, and apartheid.” 

UK Arms Shipment To Israel Seized In Belgium

April 15, 2026 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , ,
Two shipments of military components bound for Israel from the U.K. have been seized in Belgium, it can be revealed. This follows an alert issued to authorities in Brussels by Declassified, Belgian NGO Vredesactie, Irish news outlet The Ditch and the Palestinian Youth Movement. Belgium has strict laws on the transshipment of military items to Israel through its ports and airports, including a ban on overflights carrying weaponry through its airspace. Customs officials were notified last month of a suspicious military shipment travelling from Britain to Israel through Liege airport.

Democrats And Anti-War Activists Disrupt DNC Spring Meeting

April 14, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
New Orleans, LA – The Democratic National Committee met in New Orleans this week at the Hilton Riverside for their annual spring meeting. The conference rang in its second day on April 10, and blue leaders went red in the face when members confronted them on Palestine. The spring meeting is a strategy session and networking opportunity for candidates and other members. It gives members a chance to lobby for cities to hold the 2028 Democratic National Convention. But the rising opposition to Israel drove the agenda. Several nonbinding anti-war resolutions were on the docket, although none passed.

Amjad Ashour, 50, stands in the nutrition department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, holding his four-month-old infant as doctors warn him that a lack of formula leads to stunted growth, developmental delays, and serious health complications. His child is already suffering from the shortage. Ashour’s wife, the baby’s mother, is herself malnourished, leaving the family entirely dependent on infant formula, which is no longer available at the hospital. Ashour said he struggled to find milk for his child every day, and when the hospital had none, he turned to international organizations.

Anti-Muslim Far-Right Leader Viktor Orban Defeated In Landmark Election

April 13, 2026 Middle East Monitor. , , , , ,
Israel has suffered a major political setback in Europe after Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, conceded defeat in a landmark election that ended his 16-year rule and handed a crushing victory to the opposition Tisza party led by Péter Magyar. Tisza won 138 of 199 parliamentary seats, giving it a two-thirds majority and the power to begin dismantling much of Orbán’s entrenched political system. Orbán’s defeat followed years of economic stagnation, corruption scandals and growing public anger at his authoritarian style of government.

The whole world is watching as negotiations begin today in Islamabad, Pakistan between Iran and the United States following an agreement to cease military action for two weeks. The negotiations are based on a ten-point plan outlined by Iran and approved by the United States as a basis for the talks. Israel has not been invited to the negotiations, which are being conducted indirectly and with a great deal of skepticism by the Iranian team. The outcome of these talks will impact the entire global economy and the fate of millions of people in West Asia, six million of whom have already been forcibly displaced by US and Israeli aggression in recent years.

Islamabad Talks End With No Deal

April 12, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Pakistani-mediated negotiations between the US and Iran, and between Islamabad and Tehran, came to an end on 12 April, with both delegations departing and no agreement reached due to what Tehran said were “excessive demands” from Washington. It was decided on Saturday evening that the talks would extend into the following morning. Following 21 hours of talks, both delegations departed the Pakistani capital on Sunday. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei pointed to an “atmosphere of mistrust” after weeks of war, saying no agreement was expected in a single round and that major differences remain on at least two to three key issues.

April 12, 2026 Al Jazeera. , , , ,
Police in London have arrested more than 500 pro-Palestinian protesters supporting the Palestine Action group during a sit-down demonstration in Trafalgar Square. Officers have removed activists while other demonstrators have cheered and clapped. The protesters on Saturday faced arrest for holding placards supporting Palestine Action, and the Metropolitan Police confirmed 523 arrests of people aged 18 to 87. Palestine Action was designated a “terrorist” organisation in July, making membership in or support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

There’s A Wave Of Attacks On The Ruling Class

April 12, 2026 J. P. Hill, New Means. , , , , , ,
People have reached a breaking point. American consumer sentiment is terrible, registering at the lowest level ever recorded this week. Gas prices just jumped more in March than they have in any month since 1967. The Iran War was historically unpopular from the beginning, and now the massive economic ripple effects are starting to hit home. And this is just the beginning. The Strait of Hormuz still isn’t open, despite a range of Trump administration lies to the contrary. That means 20-30% of the world’s oil simply isn’t moving. Fertilizer shortages will take months to hit, but they’re likely to hit upwards of 40% of U.S. farmers.

The Twilight Of Western White Power Will Usher In The Dawn Of A New Global Civilization

April 11, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
I predict that the US will be physically expelled from the region. It is becoming quite clear to the vassal states that have aligned themselves with the US, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, that the US was unable to defend them, and not only unable to defend them, but that they the US, made decisions that clearly appear to prioritize the defense of Israel over them. And so being in alignment with the US, allowing for US bases to exist on in their territory as a result of not only them not being able to be defended, but making them a target. And so there is a real rethinking, if you will, taking place among some of those states.

Global Sumud Flotilla: We Refuse To Wait

April 11, 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , , , ,
The Global Sumud Flotilla will set sail from Barcelona this Sunday, April 12, 2026, joined by Open Arms and Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise. While countries trade ceasefire announcements, the Israeli regime’s assault on Gaza and ground offensive in Lebanon continue as of this morning, underscoring how little has changed for civilians under fire and how urgent it is to act. The flotilla’s strategy and purpose are clear: to challenge israel's illegal siege on Gaza, deliver aid, and confront the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and the complicity that enables it.
