Two extremist Israeli cabinet ministers have openly called for cutting electricity supplies to Lebanon, seizing the Zahrani River, and demolishing dozens of buildings in Beirut, in a brazen display of the illegal entity’s inherent aggression and desperation. | Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a notorious far-right figure, declared:

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, equally infamous for his racist and expansionist views, demanded an end to what he called the “threat of Hezbollah’s explosive drones” through disproportionate brutality. “In response to each explosive drone, ten buildings in Beirut must collapse,” he stated, while approving a special budget of nearly 2 billion Israeli shekels (around $540-693 million) supposedly to bolster defenses.

Paris has expressed its interest in participating in Berlin and London's long-range precision strike program. The three countries hope to hold trilateral talks on the subject in early June | France intends to join an Anglo-German plan for the production of new long-range missiles. This was exclusively reported by the Financial Times. Paris has expressed its interest in participating in the long-range precision strike program of Berlin and London, in a move that is part of a broader French-German defence dialogue. The three countries hope to hold trilateral talks on the subject in early June. ● The program, announced by the UK and Germany in 2024 as the spearhead of their defence agreement, aims to produce a family of advanced land-based missiles with a range of over 2,000 km, capable of hitting military targets within Russian territory. ● The issue took on new urgency after Donald Trump cancelled plans to deploy a battalion equipped with Tomahawk missiles and other long-range weapons at a US base in western Germany. The project, dating back to the Biden era, had been conceived as a temporary solution while waiting for Europe to develop its long-range precision strike capabilities.

Moon of Alabama | Trump’s attempt over Friday and Saturday to come to some deal with Iran has failed. | Iran’s supreme leader had rejected to move any enriched Uranian from Iran’s territory. Enrichment to Iran is a non negotiable right. The inclusion of a real ceasefire in Lebanon is also a prime condition for Iran to conclude any deal. After the call Trump immediately changed course. The deal he had been eager to conclude hours earlier was suddenly no longer urgent. Trump soon diverted attention by resorting to a new, mafia-like, scheme.

France Faces Record Levels of Distrust and a Potentially Explosive Bill | A 52-year-old Woman (Now 57) Paralyzed After Two Pfizer Doses: The plaintiff, a tobacconist in Alba (province of Cuneo, Piedmont), received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine on April 7 and 28, 2021. A few months later, she developed transverse myelitis: a severe inflammation of the spinal cord that causes permanent neurological damage. She can no longer walk on her own. Hospitalized in February 2022 in Orbassano (Turin), the medical report already stated that “a triggering role of the vaccine cannot be ruled out.” [...] The lawyers from the firm Ambrosio & Commodo (Renato Ambrosio, Stefano Bertone, Chiara Ghibaudo) welcomed a decision that “perfectly captures” the issue of vaccine-related harm: it reaffirms the “abstract danger” of the vaccine based on scientific data. They point out that, since the first ruling, their firm has been receiving at least three new cases per week. Stefano Bertone notes that, worldwide, at least 36,000 compensation claims have been accepted, with acceptance rates ranging from 11% to 30% in Europe.
