Resistance is too often measured by the calculus of gains and losses: the blows dealt to an enemy and the land reclaimed through force. While these metrics may offer insight into military or political outcomes, they fail to grasp the true depth of what resistance means. They do not reach its ethical and existential core. Resistance is not merely a means to an end; it is an existential position. It is the refusal to normalise injustice or adapt to oppression, even at the lowest point of defeat. It is an affirmation of dignity and identity—of belonging to the free rather than the subdued—regardless of immediate outcomes or shifting power dynamics. Many fall into the trap of a false binary: resistance […]

A parliamentary committee in the Israeli Knesset voted on Monday to advance the impeachment of Arab lawmaker Ayman Odeh over his welcome of the release of Palestinian detainees, Anadolu reports. According to Israel’s Channel 12, lawmakers in the Knesset House Committee voted 12-2 in favor of the impeachment of Odeh, head of the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash). Supporters of the motion included members from the Israeli opposition parties, including Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid Party and Benny Gantz’s Blue and White alliance. “The opposition crossed a red line today.

Dozens of protesters assembled near Centre Court in response to a call from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Europe’s largest pro-Palestine advocacy group. Other organizations, including War on Want and Campaign Against Arms Trade, also participated, all calling to “boycott Barclays.” The 138th Wimbledon Championships run from June 30 to July 13.

UK health secretary Wes Streeting has told the Israeli government to “get its own house in order” in response to questions about the controversy surrounding chants made by rapper Bob Vylan at Glastonbury Festival. Streeting used the interview with Sky News to call out the “pogrom” of non-Jews in the illegally occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers. “I wish they’d take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously,” said Streeting speaking to presenter Trevor Phillips, while calling attention to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and settler-led pogroms in the occupied West Bank . The health secretary warned that Israel’s refusal to hold its own citizens accountable was fuelling regional instability. Streeting’s comments followed the controversy surrounding British […]

The Middle East has in recent weeks witnessed one of its most intense military confrontations in decades: a full-scale war between Iran and Israel that has transformed regional dynamics in ways few could have predicted. This conflict, which was designed to weaken the Iran-led “Axis of Resistance” and consolidate Israel’s regional hegemony, has produced outcomes entirely contrary to what its planners in Washington and Tel Aviv envisioned. Israel’s military superiority, intended to strengthen its geopolitical position, has not only failed to achieve that goal but has also pushed Arab states away from normalizing ties with Israel and toward diplomacy with Iran. These developments are the direct result of unilateral, short-sighted policies that relied on military power instead of diplomacy and […]

The UN said Monday that Israel must facilitate access and entry of essential supplies into Gaza through available crossing points to address people’s “urgent needs,” Anadolu reports. “Civilians must be respected, and they must be protected,” said spokesperson Stephane Dujarric during a daily press briefing, emphasizing the need for “full, safe, and sustained humanitarian access in accordance with humanitarian principles.” He said the World Food Program (WFP) reports that one in five people in Gaza faces “catastrophic levels of hunger” due to heavy constraints on humanitarian operations. “Given the heavy constraints on bringing in supplies and carrying out humanitarian operations across Gaza, people are going hungry,” Dujarric said, adding that tons of food have been prepared in the region and […]

US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday afternoon to terminate the US’ sanctions program on Syria, according to the White House, Anadolu reports. Speaking to reporters at the daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move aims to support Syria’s “path to stability and peace.” “The order will remove sanctions on Syria while maintaining sanctions on the former President Assad, his associates, human rights abusers, drug traffickers, persons linked to chemical weapons activities, ISIS and their affiliates, and Iranian proxies,” she added. “This is again an action that the president promised and shocked the world with in Saudi Arabia, because he’s committed to supporting a Syria that is stable, unified, and at peace with […]

The administration of US President Donald Trump has approved a $510 million arms deal in favour of Israel. The US Department of State said on Monday that the approved deal includes over 7,000 guidance kits for two different types of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). In a statement, the state department said: “The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national security interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defence capability.” It added, “This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.” In March, the Pentagon reported that the State Department had approved a potential sale of munitions, guidance equipment, and related support to Israel, in two packages […]
