War Crimes Case Re-Opened

July 31, 2026 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , , ,
The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into U.K. nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) in August 2025. It alleged that ten U.K. nationals —including dual citizens — had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza. Allegations against those soldiers included international crimes such as “wilful killing, extermination, attacking civilians, and deportation or forcible transfer of population.”

Washington, DC – On Tuesday afternoon, activists from CODEPINK, Vets About Face DMV, and the National Iranian American Council disrupted Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth during his testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, demanding an immediate end to the disastrous U.S. war on Iran and condemning the administration's request for additional funding. Four people managed to disrupt Hegseth; of the four, two were Iranian-Americans, one U.S. veteran, and one nurse. They were each removed from the hearing and arrested.

July 13, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
July 2 marked 1,000 days of the current phase of escalated genocide of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. The Israeli military continues bombing and murdering Palestinians daily despite a ceasefire and blockading food, medicines and other supplies from entering Gaza. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from the United States who has volunteered in Gaza twice and has spoken out about the atrocities being committed there. He reports on the state of the healthcare system and the illegal detention and torture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and other Palestinians. Dr. Sidhwa makes the critical point that the United States is behind and responsible for all of the crimes being committed by the Zionist state.

Global Health Professionals Demand Boycott Of Israeli Medical Association

June 26, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Over 1,150 health professionals and organizations launched a petition on 13 June calling for a boycott of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA), accusing it of failing to adhere to medical ethics and of “complicity” in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The push is being led by the People’s Health Movement (PHM), Doctors for Gaza, and the Health Advisory Council of the Jewish Voice for Peace group. The organizations are calling on the World Medical Association (WMA) to drop the IMA for its silence about Israel’s systematic destruction of health infrastructure and its killing, abduction, and torture of Palestinian doctors, nurses, and first responders.

Hind Rajab Foundation Calls On United States To Arrest Israeli Soldier

June 17, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
On 16 June, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) formally requested that the US Department of Justice arrest and prosecute US-Israeli dual national Jake Burkons, who is currently attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup, over war crimes committed in Gaza. The foundation states that Burkons is involved in war crimes and acts of genocide committed in the Gaza Strip. This action follows a criminal complaint filed by the group last month in Sri Lanka, where Burkons had been vacationing. The report details that Burkons served in Company D of the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion, a unit within the 7th Armored Brigade of the Israeli army, and had enlisted voluntarily following the launch of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza on 7 October 2023. 

End Sportswashing Of US Crimes And Elite Capture Of The People’s Games

June 8, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , ,
The 2026 World Cup, taking place in North America, begins on June 11. In the United States, the games will be played in 11 cities from coast to coast with 'security' being provided by federal agencies, including ICE, which have been terrorizing communities, detaining travelers, residents, and citizens in inhumane conditions, and committing violence with impunity. The Anti Fascist Football Coalition opposed holding the games in the US to avoid legitimizing a country that supports genocide in Palestine and is waging illegal wars, and is now calling for a boycott. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maria Hernandez, an organizer with UNITE HERE Local 11 in Los Angeles, where stadium workers are still fighting for a contract and assurances of their safety in a space where ICE agents are present, and Ajamu Baraka of the Black Alliance for Peace, who explains the boycott and why we must take the games back from the billionaire class.

Global Sumud Flotilla Submits Accounts Of iOF Crimes To The ICC

June 1, 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , ,
The Hague, Netherlands — A delegation of legal representatives, victims and medical personnel from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) submitted an official communication to the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing israeli military commanders and top political leaders of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture and conduct relevant to the execution of the crime of genocide. The crimes detailed in the communication arose from the unlawful and violent interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s vessels on 29-30 April 2026 and on 18-19 May 2026 which involved serious human rights and humanitarian law violations against unarmed civilian volunteers by israeli Occupation Forces (iOF).

Do US War Crimes Doom The World To Endless War?

May 28, 2026 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Iran rejected President Trump’s latest fake peace deal, confirming that he had misrepresented what Iran had agreed to and that the two sides are still very far apart, on nuclear enrichment, on control of the Strait of Hormuz, on peace in Palestine and Lebanon, and on lifting US sanctions, paying war reparations and Iran’s $100 billion in frozen assets. Iran’s conditions for a peace agreement are necessarily uncompromising, in response to the US record of using negotiations as cover for sneak attacks, and the charade of one-sided “ceasefires with Israeli characteristics,” in which the US and Israel routinely ignore and violate every ceasefire they agree to, including the present ones in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.

As In Gaza, Israel Is Targeting Rescue Workers In South Lebanon,

May 5, 2026 Alaa Serhal, Mondoweiss. , , ,
As airstrikes pound southern Lebanon, lawyer Abbas Ghandour leaves his case files behind, changes clothes, and drives south toward the blast zones.  The 38-year-old appellate attorney is also the head of the Lebanese Red Cross emergency services in the southwest, a role he has grown into since first answering distress calls as a teenager in Nabatiyeh.  Now his mornings are no longer spent preparing arguments in court, but securing safe staging points and making sure his paramedics’ families have somewhere to sleep, because, as he puts it, “no one can respond clearly while worrying about their own loved ones.”

Iranian Group Submits Evidence Of US-Israeli War Crimes To ICC

April 27, 2026 Jake Johnson, Scheer Post. , , , ,
The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society said Saturday that his organization has submitted evidence of US-Israeli war crimes to the International Criminal Court and other global bodies, seeking accountability for massive attacks on civilian infrastructure and other violations. “The ICC prosecutor announced that the documents provided by the IRCS are accepted as official evidence,” said Pir-Hossein Koulivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society. “All cases of attacks on civilians are being legally pursued based on the Geneva Conventions.”

Israeli Military Reportedly Bombed Lebanese Journalist, Blocked Rescuers

April 24, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , ,
The Israeli military reportedly targeted two Lebanese journalists, assassinating Amal Khalil who worked for the Al-Akhbar newspaper and seriously injuring freelance photographer Zeinab Faraj. Lebanese Red Cross volunteers rescued Faraj but were unable to rescue Khalil before she died because the Israeli military opened fire on them, which Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam called a “war crime.” “Israel’s targeting of media professionals in the South while they are performing their professional duties can no longer be viewed as a series of isolated incidents,” Salam declared.

Iran Survives Terrorist War And Emerges A Major Power Broker

April 22, 2026 Tim Anderson, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The unprovoked war against Iran by the USA and "Israel" has failed in spectacular fashion, with the Israeli colony in tatters, Washington looking for a way out while Iran holds the upper hand in peace “negotiations” proposed by Pakistan. Further, Tehran’s newly asserted control over shipping traffic passing into and out of the Persian Gulf (which neither the USA nor anyone else can shake) has given it tremendous new economic leverage. Furthermore, the Iranian population has held together strongly under an extensive series of strikes on mainly civilian targets, which began with the assassination of the former Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the murder of 168 people, mainly schoolgirls, at the primary school in Minab, in southern Iran.

MAGA Regime’s Call For War Crimes Accelerates Military Dissent

April 14, 2026 John Catalinotto, Workers World. , , ,
April 12 — U.S. bombs and rockets stopped hitting Iran for the last five days after the White House’s threat to erase Iranian civilization was put on hold for a quick U.S. retreat. But by April 12 the new U.S. plan to block the Strait of Hormuz put war back on Washington’s agenda. The last week exposed the contradictions on many levels in the imperialist part of the world: between the U.S. and its NATO allies; between the MAGA forces and other sectors of the U.S. ruling class, including its Democratic Party rivals; between the MAGA political summits and the U.S. Armed Forces.

United States And Israel Bomb 307+ Medical Facilities In Iran

April 11, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , , ,
The United States and Israel are systematically targeting hospitals in Iran. In one month of bombing, the two countries have hit at least 307 health centers across the country, according to reports from the Iranian Red Crescent. The carefully planned destruction of the Islamic Republic’s medical infrastructure fits into a long history of deliberate U.S. attacks on hospitals. Since the end of World War Two, Washington has targeted medical centers in at least 16 countries, and the 307 Iranian sites hit does not even come close to the record for the number of hospitals in any country destroyed by American bombs and missiles.
