March 30, 2025 The Cradle. , , , , , ,
A senior Hamas official said late on 29 March that the resistance movement has accepted a new Egyptian proposal to resume the truce in the Gaza Strip, coming as Israel has rejected Cairo’s plan and put forward its own counteroffer. “Hamas recently received a new proposal from the Qatari and Egyptian mediators and responded positively. The movement emphasized it is not seeking new demands, only the implementation of what was already signed and guaranteed,” said the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Khalil al-Hayya, during a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

Jacksonville, FL – On March 27, Jacksonville Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) rallied dozens of students to protest a speaking event which brought two Israeli occupation forces (IOF) troops to the University of North Florida. The soldiers were on campus to justify their war crimes in Gaza during the first wave of the accelerated genocide. The Jacksonville Palestine Solidarity Network (JPSN) co-sponsored the protest, and several other student and community organizations were in attendance. The rally took place outside the UNF Student Union, where the speaking event was being held.

March 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
Millions of Yemenis took to the streets of the capital Sanaa and other areas of the country on 28 March to commemorate International Quds Day, which falls annually on the last Friday of every Ramadan. The mass rallies came one day after over a dozen violent US airstrikes struck the Yemeni capital. “We will continue to stand against the Zionist enemy and the American enemy in confronting their aggression against Gaza and Yemen. The Yemeni people's commemoration of Quds Day is evidence of the sincerity of their religious affiliation, their actual adherence to sanctities, and their high willingness to sacrifice,” Yemeni protest movements said in a joint statement from the capital’s Al-Sabeen Square during the rallies on Friday.

Pro-Palestine Organizations Will Mobilize In Washington, DC On April 5

March 28, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
Emboldened by an ultra-right wing and extremely pro-Zionist administration in the US, Israel has resumed its genocidal bombardment of Gaza. Meanwhile, in the United States, Trump and his immigration authorities are rounding up and detaining student organizers for standing in solidarity with Palestine. Student activists such as Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk have been violently abducted by ICE in front of their families and communities for registering their peaceful opposition to genocide. Rather than having a chilling effect on the movement for Palestine, however, these ICE kidnappings have actually had the opposite impact: more have taken to the streets in support of Palestine than ever since Trump’s election.

Does Columbia Still Merit The Name Of A University?

March 28, 2025 Rashid Khalidi, the Guardian. , , , , , , ,
It was never about eliminating antisemitism. It was always about silencing Palestine. That is what the gagging of protesting students, and now the gagging of faculty, was always meant to lead to. While partisans of the Israeli-American mass slaughter in Gaza may have been offended by their protests, large numbers of the students whose rights of free speech have been infringed upon via draconian punishments were themselves Jewish. Many of those faculty members who are about to be deprived of academic freedom and faculty governance, and perhaps fired, are themselves Jewish, indeed some are Israelis.

Explainer: The Lawsuits Aiming To Stop Trump’s Assault On Free Speech

March 28, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , , , , , , ,
According to a tracker developed by Just Security, there have been at least 146 legal challenges to Trump administration actions since he took office. Several of those have dealt with the White House’s war on Palestine activists. In recent weeks, students, faculty, and legal organizations have launched multiple lawsuits aimed at halting the Trump administration’s draconian crackdown on Palestinian protesters and holding universities accountable for their complicity. Here are some of the legal efforts that we’ve seen so far.

The Pentagon has increased its forces near Yemeni and Iranian waters, stationing several B-2 stealth bombers and F-35 jets at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean. "In the past week, dozens of heavy transport planes have landed at bases in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, and Diego Garcia – in what appears to be a surge in the usual pace of flights to the region,"Haaretz reported on 27 March, based on satellite imagery and analysis of over-the-air flight data. Analysis of data transmitted during the flight indicates that they arrived loaded. At least three transport planes took off from Whitman Air Force Base in the US, home to the B-2 stealth bombers.

US, UK Launch Raids On Yemeni Capital As Trump Threatens ‘Long’ War

March 27, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
US warplanes carried out at least 15 air raids on the southern and northeastern regions of Yemen's capital late on 26 March, including airstrikes in the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport. Washington and London have been relentlessly bombing Yemen over the past several days, killing dozens, including women and children, in an attempt to stop Sanaa's military operations against Israel. On Wednesday morning, the western coalition renewed its targeting of the Sahar District of the Saada governorate. This region had been targeted with two dozen airstrikes in the middle of the night.

The ‘Disappearing’ War Chat

March 27, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , , , , , , ,
In his article about being invited by U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to a Signal chat with the U.S. secretaries of state, defense and treasury, the U.S. vice president and the directors of national intelligence and the C.I.A., Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg writes that Waltz set at least some of the text messages in the chat to disappear. Goldberg wrote: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

Trump Launches ‘October 7 Joint Task Force’; War On Palestine Protesters

March 27, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Last week the Trump administration announced the formation of a joint task force that it said is meant to hold Hamas leaders accountable for the October 7 attack. But many fear it will be yet another weapon the administration will use to target activists within the United States. The Joint Task Force October 7 (JTF 10-7) will “investigate acts of terrorism and civil rights violations by individuals and entities providing support and financing to Hamas, related Iran proxies, and their affiliates” which is similar to work that began under the Biden administration. The new task force however is also targeting “acts of antisemitism by these groups,” which the administration has indicated refers to campus activism for Palestine.

The Far-Right Hate Group Helping Trump Deport Israel’s Critics

March 26, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , , ,
A far-right, pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror and genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States. Betar U.S. is known to have had several meetings with senior government officials and has claimed credit for the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the nationwide anti-genocide student demonstrations that began at Columbia University last year. Ross Glick, the group’s executive director until last month, noted that he met with a diverse set of influential lawmakers, including Democratic senator John Fetterman and aides to the Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Lankford.

United Kingdom’s Secret Meeting With Top Israeli Arms Firm

March 26, 2025 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , ,
Keir Starmer’s government held a private meeting with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company, Declassified has found. The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office. It took place months after Israeli forces used an Elbit drone to kill three British military veterans in Gaza who were protecting a humanitarian aid convoy. The revelation comes in documents obtained by Declassified through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the Home Office, which refused to detail which officials were present or what was discussed.

Lebanon: Victims Of Israeli Strikes Say They Won’t Bow To US Pressure

March 26, 2025 Sabah Haider, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Since February 2025, the United States has intensified its efforts to facilitate normalization between Lebanon and Israel. U.S. Deputy Envoy to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus was reported to have delivered an ultimatum to Lebanese leaders, urging the quick formation of civilian committees for negotiations with Israel. Failure to comply could result in Washington withdrawing from the oversight committee, potentially granting Israel greater operational freedom in South Lebanon. This initiative builds upon previous U.S.-mediated agreements, including the 2022 maritime border deal and the 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

Momodou Taal On His Fight Against The Trump Administration

March 25, 2025 D. Musa Springer, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
On March 19, 2025, Momodou Taal was supposed to walk into a federal courtroom for the first hearing of his lawsuit against the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The landmark case would put a temporary hold on the rampant deportations we’ve seen in the last month of foreign students who have spoken out in support of Palestinians against U.S.-funded Israeli genocide. However a day before the case was supposed to begin in court, DHS issued a deportation order for Taal. The deportation order, which appeared to come in direct retaliation for his outspoken support for Palestine and his participation in campus protests, escalated his case to a critical level while garnering national attention.

Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary film ‘No Other Land,’ was beaten and injured by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank on 24 March before being arrested by Israeli security forces. “A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal … They beat him, and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called and took him. No sign of him since,” Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham announced via social media. Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers descended on the Palestinian village of Susiya in the Masafer Yatta area of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank on Monday night, destroying property and attacking civilians, according to the activist group Center for Jewish Nonviolence.
