February 21, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Over 60,000 weapon parts have been transported to Israel via Zaragoza airport in northern Spain since the start of the US–Israeli genocide of Palestinians in October 2023, according to an investigation by Progressive International (PI), the Palestinian Youth Movement, and the American Friends Service Committee. “The evidence indicates that these flights continue to this day,” investigators told elDiario.es, adding that the shipments include “parts and accessories for artillery, rifles, rocket/grenade launchers and machine guns” and “parts and accessories for revolvers and pistols.”

Anti-Palestinian Legislation To Look Out For In The New Congress

February 19, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
In recent years we have seen an increasing amount of congressional legislation targeting criticism of Israel and boycotts of the country. This push only increased when the genocidal assault on Gaza began last year. We can anticipate further efforts as the GOP now controls the presidency, the Senate, and the House. However, many of these bills were pushed during the Biden administration and have found support on both sides of the aisles. Mondoweiss U.S. correspondent Michael Arria spoke with Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP) President Lara Friedman.

Over 230 Groups Call On The UK, Others To Stop Supplying F-35 Jets To Israel

February 19, 2025 The Canary. , , , ,
Over 230 global civil society organisations have called on governments producing F-35 fighter jets to immediately halt all arms transfers to Israel, including the these jets. The F-35 jet programme partners include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK, and the US. On top of the letter, civil society organisations around the world have taken legal action to hold their governments accountable for the F-35 programme, and complicity in Israel’s crimes in Gaza. And in the UK, groups are calling on the Labour Party government to end its complicity now.

Israel Maintains Occupation In Key Areas After Withdrawal From Lebanon

February 18, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The Israeli army has maintained its occupation of at least five key locations in southern Lebanon after completing the withdrawal of most of its troops from the south early on 18 February. Israeli forces continue to occupy Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill. According to AlJadeed’s correspondent, the “number of points from which Israeli occupation forces have not withdrawn has risen to seven, with its forces remaining on the international border road extending from Odaisseh to the entrance to Kfar Kila, along the border wall, and its positioning in the Batishiyeh area on the outskirts of Dhuhayrah, near the Al-Jardah site.”

Hamas Leader Says Israeli Ceasefire Violations Aim To Continue Genocide

February 17, 2025 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Developments over the past week have threatened to unravel the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Israel has consistently delayed or obstructed the implementation of the major humanitarian stipulations of the agreement guaranteeing the entry of fuel, food, tents, mobile homes, and heavy machinery for the removal of rubble. The first phase of the deal, which is currently ongoing, is supposed to see the entry of 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes, but as of the time of writing, only a fraction has entered, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.

Forced Displacement Of Palestinians From West Bank ‘Largest Since 1967’

February 17, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The mass displacement carried out by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank is the largest since 1967, according to experts cited by the New York Times (NYT) on 17 February. “What makes this moment unprecedented is not only the scale of the displacement but also the accompanying discourse, which increasingly normalizes the idea of permanent forced displacement,” said Maha Nassar, a Palestinian historian at the University of Arizona. “This represents a significant escalation in the longstanding conflict, one that threatens to fundamentally alter the political and demographic landscape of the region,” she went on to say.

Breaking Down Trump’s Executive Order Targeting Palestine Activists

February 14, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
On January 29 President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at canceling the visas of foreign students who participated in protests opposing the Gaza genocide across college campuses last year. “To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” said Trump in a fact sheet released alongside the order. “I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”

Elbit Drone Factory Landlords Cut Ties

February 14, 2025 Palestine Action. , , , , , ,
LondonMetric, the landlords of Elbit’s ‘UAV Tactical Systems’ drone factory, has sold the site on after a targeted direct action campaign calling on them to cut ties with Israel’s largest weapons company. After struggling to find a buyer, LondonMetric have now relinquished their interest in Elbit Systems, despite what it claims is a strong commercial potential of the site. Business at ‘UAV Tactical Systems’ has been regularly disrupted and prevented due to its production of Israeli military drones [1]. The result comes after concerted efforts by Palestine Action, joined by the Youth Front for Palestine (YFFP), against the offices and premises of LondonMetrics.

These Seven Banks Have Supplied Israel’s Genocide In Gaza

February 14, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
Seven US and European investment banks have been propping up Israel’s brutal genocide in Gaza to the tune of nearly $20bn. And a certain notorious company in particular is dripping in bankrolling complicity: Goldman Sachs. A new investigation has revealed the scale of seven financial institutions role financing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Netherlands-based financial research group Profundo conducted the vital new research, with Dutch NGOs BankTrack and PAX have publishing its critical findings. Significantly, the groups have uncovered that a small number of investment banks have played a crucial role in helping Israel meet the “significant funding needs” for its genocidal assault on Gaza.

Princeton Students Go To Trial Nearly A Year After Gaza Encampment

February 13, 2025 Sam Carliner, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
Nearly one whole year after students at Princeton University held an encampment on their campus in solidarity with Gaza, 12 students and one postdoctoral fellow will head to trial. In a statement released by Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (PIAD) — the main organization behind Princeton’s Gaza solidarity encampment — organizers claim that the trial date “arose from a dangerous process of intimidation and coercion.” The trial is scheduled for April 14-16 and the students face charges of “defiant trespass” for briefly holding a building occupation at Clio Hall, home of the Princeton Graduate School’s administrative offices.

Swiss Official Who Jailed Journalist Ali Abunimah Is Pro-Israel Fanatic

February 13, 2025 Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , , , , ,
The Swiss official who ordered the arrest of renowned Palestinian-American journalist Ali Abunimah justified doing so on the false and defamatory basis that Abunimah is “an Islamist Jew-hater.” Mario Fehr, the head of Zurich’s Department of Security, made the bogus accusation in a recent comment to the Swiss publication NZZ, which also falsely characterized Abunimah as an “Islamist” and an “extremist.” Swiss authorities detained Abunimah on Jan. 25, after they initially allowed him entry into Switzerland following an hour-long interrogation.

Palestine Action Hits Eagle Strategic Consulting A Third Time

February 12, 2025 The Canary. , , , , , ,
In the early hours of 10 February 2025, Palestine Action struck again at ‘Eagle Strategic Consulting Ltd.’, the weapons consultancy firm owned by Richard Applegate. Activists from Palestine Action smashed the door of Eagle Strategic Consulting’s London registered office and sprayed red paint into the building: Applegate, Elbit’s former Chairman, is the current Head of Strategy and New Business for Elbit Systems UK and serves as Director for Elbit’s drone-producing subsidiaries in Britain. This is the third direct action taken against this company, and Palestine Action will continue to escalate its campaign until the arms dealers behind the Israeli occupation are held to account.

Hamas Suspends Releasing Captives Over Israeli Breach Of Ceasefire

February 11, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Hamas said in a statement on Monday that it will suspend the release of Israeli captives in Gaza in response to what it called Israel’s “obstruction of the humanitarian protocol of the ceasefire deal.” The release of the next batch of Israeli captives would be delayed “until further notice,” the Palestinian movement said. Hamas stated that Israel had been delaying the entry of important reconstruction material to the Gaza Strip, which it said was a breach of the ceasefire deal and constituted “a new war on the Palestinian people.”

Hold Israel Accountable Under The UN Convention On The Rights Of The Child

February 10, 2025 Palestine-Global Mental Health Network, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
A so-called “ceasefire” has done nothing to halt the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Israel’s government is escalating policies that jeopardize the very lives of Palestinian children, and powerful nations are complicit through their silence or direct endorsement. Even now, terror and bloodshed continue in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, while the U.S. administration signals tacit support for what amounts to ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Under the Biden administration, sanctions were imposed on extremist Israeli settlers—17 individuals and 16 entities over 11 months—to curb violence against Palestinians.

Netanyahu Sabotaging Second Phase Of Gaza Ceasefire

February 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israeli sources believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to sabotage the second phase of the prisoner release deal and derail the Gaza ceasefire, Haaretz reported on 9 February. "It's a show," said one source. "Netanyahu is signaling quite clearly that he doesn't want to move to the next phase. He's sending a team without a mandate and without the ability to do anything," the source added. In a sign the Israeli Prime Minister is not serious about reaching the next phase of the deal, he sent a delegation to Qatar that is only allowed to discuss "technical details" rather than begin the second stage of the talks, a senior official said.
