Yemen’s Armed Forces announce striking a military base near the city of Jaffa in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile in a “high-profile operation.” | According to the spokesman, the operation came “in support of the oppressed peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, and in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistances, and as part of the fifth stage of [Yemen’s] escalation [against the Israeli regime].” ■ This is not the first time that the forces have fired the projectile towards the occupied territories. The strike came amid the Israeli regime’s October 2023-present genocidal war and concomitant siege on the Gaza Strip and deadly escalation against Lebanon, which have respectively claimed the lives of more than 43,600 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and at least 3,136 Lebanese.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump indicated Thursday that they were ready to hold talks after the Republican tycoon emerged as the victor in the race for the White House. | “I take this opportunity to congratulate him,” Putin said in remarks to the Valdai forum in the southern city of Sochi after Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s election. Asked whether he was open to holding talks with Trump, the Russian leader said: “Ready.” Trump revealed he was also prepared for some kind of conversation, telling NBC News in an interview that “I think we’ll speak” as the topic turned to his contacts with world leaders since his victory was announced.

Leon Panetta says he also expects US president-elect to favor letting Russia retain control of areas of Ukraine | Donald Trump will as president give Benjamin Netanyahu a “blank check” in the Middle East, possibly opening the way for all-out war between Israel and Iran, the former CIA director and US defense secretary Leon Panetta predicted.

💬 “With regards to the Middle East, I think he’s basically going to give Netanyahu a blank check,” Panetta said of Trump, who won the presidential election this week and will take office again in January. ● “‘Whatever you do, whatever you want to do, whoever you want to go after, you have my blessing.’ I mean, he basically said that [before the election].” ● Panetta continued: “And so the real question there is whether Netanyahu decides to continue to try to expand that war, go after Iran, or do things that basically create an even greater concern about whether or not the Middle East is ever going to resolve itself or be in constant conflict.”

A United Nations legal expert has called for Western media to be investigated over their role in “obscuring” news coverage of the clashes on Friday between Israeli forces posing as football fans and locals in the Dutch city of Amsterdam. | In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said that Western media has repeatedly disseminated disinformation which has served to conceal the atrocities that were being carried out by the Israelis across the globe.

💬 “Once again, Western media should be investigated for the role they are playing in obscuring Israel’s atrocities,” the Italian international lawyer said. ● “In other contexts, international tribunals have found media figures responsible for complicity, incitement, and other international crimes.”

The legal scholar, researcher, and author specializing in human rights and Arab refugee issues said media figures who disseminate false news are complicit in Israeli crimes and should be held accountable.

The U.N. Human Rights Office said on Friday that nearly 70% of fatalities it had verified in Gaza were women and children. Israel's diplomatic mission in Geneva, where the office is based, said it categorically rejected the report, which it said did not accurately reflect realities on the ground. | A Gaza family sat weeping on Saturday over children killed by an Israeli strike as they were getting ready to play soccer, amid an intensified bombardment that Palestinian health authorities said has killed 44 people over the past 24 hours. The strike was in Mawasi, a southern coastal area where hundreds of thousands of people have sought shelter after Israel's military told them to leave other areas it was bombing in its war against Hamas. "The rocket struck them. There were no wanted or targeted people there and there was nobody else in the street. Just the children who were killed yesterday," said Mohammed Zanoun, a relative of the dead children. Palestinian health authorities say Israel's military campaign in Gaza has killed more than 43,500 people, with another 10,000 believed to be dead and uncounted under the rubble. Israel launched its offensive in response to the attack on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas gunmen stormed border defences and rampaged through Israeli communities killing 1,200 people and seizing around 250 as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

In the previous 48 hours, Israeli soldiers perpetrated six mass executions in Gaza, killing 78 and injuring 214, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. Many victims are stuck beneath debris, unreachable to rescue personnel under persistent bombardment. | So far, the Ministry has documented 43,469 Palestinian dead and 102,561 wounded from the October 7, 2023 fighting. ■ Medical reports said an attack on a school for displaced Palestinians in Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City killed 10 and wounded others. Israeli soldiers targeted Shuhiber School, sheltering hundreds of displaced people, killing women and children, according to witnesses. ■ Gaza saw further strikes. Israel struck people west of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing three and injuring three. Five people were killed and four wounded when Israeli soldiers attacked a gathering east of Rafah. A drone strike near a market and another on a home in northern Gaza's Jabalia killed eight and injured others.

Washington and London have a back-up plan in the event of Ukraine losing the conflict with Moscow, the Russian foreign minister has said | The US and UK are setting up continental Europe for a military face-off with Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has claimed. Lavrov issued the warning during his speech at the Inventing the Future symposium in Moscow on Monday. Speaking about the Ukraine conflict, the top diplomat stressed that...

💬 “...the Anglo-Saxons [the US and UK] expect to defeat our country with the hands of the Kiev regime, just like Hitler, gathering most of Europe’s countries under the Nazi banner.” ● “And, as a back-up plan, in case [Ukrainian leader Vladimir] Zelensky’s regime fails, they are preparing continental Europe to rush into a suicidal adventure and enter into a direct armed conflict with Russia.”

Lavrov expressed regret that the ruling elites in many European countries do not see a future for themselves in forming a multipolar world. Instead, they are “seeking salvation from an overseas hegemon,” he said.

The Axios portal reported earlier that Musk took part in a phone call between Trump and Vladimir Zelensky | US celebrity entrepreneur Elon Musk suggests that the bloodshed in Ukraine will end soon. "The senseless killing [in Ukraine] will end soon. Time is up for the warmonger profiteers," Musk wrote on the X social network when commenting on media reports of US President-elect Donald Trump’s plans on settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. The Axios portal reported earlier that Musk took part in a phone call between Trump and Vladimir Zelensky.

Iran has categorically denied "baseless" claims of an assassination attempt on American soil targeting Republican president-elect Donald Trump just weeks before the November 5 election. | In a statement on Saturday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei rejected the allegations as “completely baseless and unsubstantiated,” a day after the US Justice Department unsealed criminal charges that include details of a plot allegedly backed by Iran to kill Trump before Tuesday’s election. ● A criminal complaint filed in federal court in New York City alleges that an unnamed official in Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) instructed a contact to develop a plan to surveil and ultimately kill the businessman-turned-politician. ● Baghaei said the repetition of such claims at this juncture is “a malicious conspiracy by Zionist and anti-Iranian circles aimed at further complicating the issues between the United States and Iran.”

Compilation of news reports – IAK staff | Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says Israeli military | Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area. ■ In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”. ■ He added that humanitarian aid would be allowed to “regularly” enter the south of the territory but not the north, since there are “no more civilians left”.

'Get them out,' president-elect reportedly instructed his generals, concerned they could be caught in a potential conflict | US President-elect Donald Trump wants to pull American troops out of northern Syria instead of leaving them as “cannon fodder” if fighting breaks out between other parties, said his political ally Rober F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy, who endorsed the Republican candidate in Tuesday’s presidential election, said that Trump recently expressed concern to him about the US military presence in Syria. In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Kennedy discussed the role of US presidents in critical decision-making processes and shared details of a recent conversation he had with Trump.

■ US Ramps Up Systematic Looting of Syrian Oil, Ships 35 Tankers Out of Country (07/17/23) |

US troops began digging in in Syria in 2016-2017, with Donald Trump stating repeatedly (to the Washington establishment’s horror) that America would "keep the oil" and retain boots on the ground in Syria "only for the oil." The Biden White House claims US forces remain in the country to prevent Daesh’s* resurgence, but US actions speak otherwise. | U.S. forces in Syria have ramped up the looting of the war-torn country's oil resources, with local sources in the al-Yarubiyah countryside in eastern Hasakah province telling Syrian media on Saturday that the latest act of smuggling involved 35 oil tankers, which made their way into northern Iraq via the illegal al-Walid border crossing. "The U.S. occupation forces brought to their bases in northern Iraq a convoy consisting of 120 vehicles, including 65 tankers, some of them carrying covered damaged military equipment, 20 refrigerated trucks, and 35 tanks loaded with stolen Syrian oil," the sources said, adding that the convoy was accompanied by four Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia pickups for protection. Saturday’s account follows on reporting last week that a convoy of 39 tankers loaded with Syrian crude left fields in Hasakah and was similarly smuggled into Iraq, this time via the Mahmoudiya checkpoint -- another border crossing which the Damascus government doesn't control and hence considers illegal.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iraqi fighters have launched fresh attacks on Israeli targets in the occupied territories in retaliation for the regime’s aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. | On Friday, Hezbollah said it fired a barrage of missiles at the “Stella Maris” naval base northwest of the city of Haifa. It was the second such attack in less than 24 hours. The movement said the strike came "in response to the attacks and massacres committed by the Israeli enemy." Also on Friday, Hezbollah said it targeted Ramat David airbase southeast of Haifa with a barrage of missiles. Another barrage of missiles targeted Kiryat Shmona settlement in the northern part of the occupied territories this morning, according to Hezbollah.

The U.N. Human Rights Office says nearly 70 percent of the fatalities it has verified in the Gaza war were women and children, and condemned what it called a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. | The 8119 victims verified by the U.N. Rights Office in that seven-month period is considerably lower than the toll of over 43,000 provided by Palestinian health authorities for the full 13 months of conflict. But the U.N. breakdown of the victims' age and gender backs the Palestinian assertion that women and children represent a large portion of those killed in the war. This finding indicates "a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, including distinction and proportionality", the U.N. rights office said in a statement accompanying the 32-page report.

Widely circulated videos on social media show Israeli football fans vandalizing private property, assaulting a local taxi driver, and clashing with law enforcement officials. | Violence erupted across Amsterdam late Thursday when supporters of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv reportedly stormed through the city, tearing down Palestinian flags displayed on private property and chanting incendiary slogans, according to reports. The events, which unfolded before and after Maccabi’s match against Ajax, has ignited widespread outrage, with accounts of Israeli fans clashing with bystanders, damaging property, and burning a Palestinian flag. Widely circulated videos on social media show Maccabi fans vandalizing private property, assaulting a local taxi driver, and clashing with law enforcement officials. ■ Max Blumenthal, editor of The Grayzone News, commented on the footage, saying,

💬 "Many videos going around of Israeli soccer goons vandalizing property in Amsterdam, attacking cops and bystanders, and ripping down Palestinian flags. Now this fascist infestation is playing the victim and waiting for airlifts back to the colonies."

Sports journalist Leyla Hamed also said, "hooligans from the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv marched through the streets of Amsterdam… They stole Palestinian flags from homes and even set a Palestinian flag on fire."

A top priority for the next European Commission will be making the EU self-reliant and ready for war, as the US is likely to focus on China in the coming decades, Andrius Kubilius, the nominee for the EU’s new top defense post, has said. | “Adversaries and strategic rivals are rapidly outpacing us,” with Russia and China far ahead in defense spending, Kubilius went on to say. He claimed that Russia will spend more on defense than all of the bloc’s 27 states combined in terms of purchasing power parity. ■ In the meantime, the best defense strategy for the EU would be to continue funding Ukraine, he stated. Since 2022, the EU has spent nearly €120 billion ($128.8 billion) on supporting Ukraine, with another €74 billion pledged but yet to be allocated, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the 2024 presidential race, prompting a meltdown in the Kamala Harris camp and the US corporate media – who are struggling to understand what went wrong. | Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel gives the top three reasons behind Trump's victory:

● Abject Failure of “Bidenomics” Despite Borrowing and Spending Trillions of Dollars
● Soaring Crime, Especially in Cities
● "An Arrogant Slate of Idiots on the Democrat Ticket Backed by Out-of-Touch and Classless 'Celebrities'"

Ortel drew attention to a high number of black, Latino and women's votes for Trump, even though those demographics have long been considered pro-Democratic. ■ The analyst believes Democrats tried to rig the 2024 election "in countless ways" but the wave of support from Trump’s supporters was "too big to rig." Misconduct by Democrats can only be fully exposed after Trump gets his cabinet picks confirmed into key positions, Ortel believes.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has struck the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa in the occupied Palestinian territories with kamikaze drones and missiles, besides unveiling a new precision missile that it seeks to deploy in its ongoing struggle against the Israeli regime. | In a statement on Wednesday, the movement said it had launched a retaliatory aerial attack “with a squadron of attack drones on the Belo Base, which belongs to the reserve paratrooper brigade of the Israeli enemy army’s 98 Division south of Tel Aviv, for the first time and hit its targets accurately.” ■ Hezbollah said it had carried out the operation as part of the Khaybar series of operations under the slogan, "We are at your service O Nasrallah," referring to the movement’s former secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was martyred during intense Israeli airstrikes against Lebanon’s capital Beirut in late September.

Yossi Verter | The Terrifying Reason Netanyahu Fired His Defense Minister, as the War in Gaza and Lebanon Rages | Yoav Gallant has been offloaded for the benefit of the draft-dodging ultra-Orthodox in a bid to keep Netanyahu's government intact. It's a direct blow to the country's security that's horrifying us in a way we've never known. We're days, maybe hours, before another attack by the Iranians, one that could be worse than the onslaught a month ago. We're days, maybe hours, before senior officials at the Prime Minister's Office are grilled in two cases involving security issues. Against this backdrop, Benjamin Netanyahu chose to fire Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced a vote of confidence, potentially paving the way for snap elections | Germany’s ‘traffic-light’ coalition has fallen apart, leaving Olaf Scholz at the helm of a minority government consisting solely of his Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens. This follows the chancellor’s dismissal of Free Democratic Party (FDP) leader Christian Lindner as finance minister. ■ In response to Lindner’s dismissal, which came after failed crisis talks on Wednesday night, the FDP’s parliamentary group leader, Christian Durr, announced that the party is withdrawing its ministers from Scholz’s government, formally ending the three-way coalition. ■ The Greens expressed regret over the development, but stated that they wish to remain part of a minority government, emphasizing the need for the EU – and Germany in particular – to demonstrate its capacity for action following Donald Trump’s election as US president.

Amira Zaiter, a mother and a nursing student from Nice, France, was sentenced to three years in prison for denouncing the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. | A pro-Palestinian activist in France has been sentenced to three years in prison for allegedly "glorifying terrorism" on social media, according to broadcaster France 3. Amira Zaiter, an activist from Nice, was arrested on September 19 for allegedly "promoting terrorism, glorifying crimes against humanity, and spreading hate speech online," as per the channel.

According to Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former vice president at Pfizer: "There was no pandemic, and the lie was maintained in order to inject... 5.5 billion people with an intentionally dangerous substance, 17 million of whom have died so far." This speech was scheduled to be played during a parliamentary special meeting at the UK Parliament. Conveniently, due to "sound issues", it was never played.

Vaccination is legalized, decriminalized, government-sponsored, government-run torture, mutilation and homicide.

In the House, Democrats are aiming to reclaim seats in states like New York and California, while Republicans are looking to solidify their gains from recent elections. | Republican candidate Donald Trump achieved a pivotal win in Georgia on Wednesday, reclaiming the former Republican stronghold that had flipped Democratic in the last election, the Associated Press reported. ■ Coupled with his victory in North Carolina, Trump’s Georgia win has sharply reduced Kamala Harris’ potential paths to the presidency while expanding his own chances to reach the crucial 270 electoral votes. ■ With both Georgia and North Carolina now secured by Trump, Harris is left relying heavily on the “blue wall” states—Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—to sustain a realistic path to the White House. Retaining these states has become essential for her to remain in contention for the presidency.
