  Protests to support jailed Istanbul mayor attract 2 million people

Imamoglu and his party have called the charges politically-motivated | More than two million supporters of jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu took to the city's streets in protest demanding his release after being arrested on corruption charges.  The demonstration, organized by Imamoglu's opposition Republican People's Party, or CHP, claimed more than 2.2 million people attended protests to support the mayor of Turkey's largest city.  Imamoglu, who was re-elected during the country's elections last year and is seen as the main opposition to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling government, was detained earlier this month on corruption charges. [...] Imamoglu shared an aerial photo showing a large crowd at the demonstration on his Turkish-language X account, as well as posts with video of the protest. The video was accompanied by the caption in Turkish and translated to English by Google reading "you are so beautiful, Istanbul!"  Turkey has maintained the country's judiciary is independent and that Imamoglu's arrest is not an attempt to quell his political opposition.  Approximately 1,900 people have been arrested, however, in protests since Imamoglu was first arrested on March 19. Among them, nearly two-dozen journalists and photojournalists are have been detained while reporting on the protests.  Imamoglu's lawyer was also detained and later released, according to reports.

  US Killed 25 Civilians in First Week of Renewed Bombing Campaign in Yemen

According to the Yemen Data Project, more than 55% of US strikes hit non-military targets | US airstrikes on Yemen killed at least 25 civilians and wounded 28 others in just the first week of the Trump administration’s renewed bombing campaign against the Houthis, according to the Yemen Data Project (YDP).  The YDP released a report on Tuesday analyzing 38 strikes on Yemen the US launched from March 15 to March 21 and found that 55% of the bombings hit non-military targets. The report said the US attacks marked the heaviest and deadliest week of bombing in Yemen since the final months of the US-backed Saudi-UAE air war on the country in early 2022.  The report found that more civilians were killed in the first week of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign than were killed in the 12 months of US- UK strikes on Yemen that were conducted under the Biden administration from January 2024 to January 2025.

  BREAKING: Trump Orders "Decisive Combat Operations" Against Yemen

Today, President Trump directed the US military to engage in "decisive combat operations." For now, this appears to mean naval and air strike activity. No word of any "boots on the ground." | The White House announced this afternoon that President Trump has ordered decisive combat operations against Yemen. The U.S. Navy then confirmed it's 5th Fleet has entered a period of 'sustained combat operations' within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet is responsible for naval forces in the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea, with its headquarters located at NSA Bahrain in Manama, Bahrain. It shares a commander and headquarters with U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) and is a component command of, and reports to, CENTCOM. Yemen has re-initiated a sort of naval blockade in the Red Sea, which also affects the Suez Canal, against the "state" of Israel because Israel is forbidding food, water, and electricity into the Gaza Strip for over two weeks. Over 1.5 Million people remain in Gaza despite much of it having been obliterated by Israeli bombing.

Hal Turner Remarks | Today's escalation by President Trump is extremely serious. How the world's most powerful military can attack a country which has no army, navy, or air force, is not a good "look" at all. In fact, it's more than just not a good "look." Maybe pressure should be brought to bear upon the country actually causing all this; you know, Israel?   How Israel can apply "group punishment" to 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, over the actions of a few hundred members of HAMAS, seems un-American. Denying food and water to 1.5 Million over the actions of a few hundred seems unthinkable to civilized people. It is also illegal under the Geneva Conventions.  If it is OK for Israel to apply group punishment to all Palestinians in Gaza for the actions of a few, would it then also be okay for the world to apply group punishment to ALL Israeli-types for the ongoing Genocide in Gaza? That may have to be something the world considers doing over the next days.

Here's What's Really Behind Trump's Surprise Bombardment of Yemen (Ilya Tsukanov) | “Trump’s decision" to launch airstrikes on Yemen revolves around Washington's desire "to protect and help extend Israeli domination over the larger region,” Isa Blumi, an associate professor of Middle East studies at Stockholm University, told Sputnik. The strikes have less to do with the Houthis than they do with trying to ensure the survival of the State of Israel, and Israeli and US projects to expel the Palestinians from Gaza, turn the strip into a glitzy Las Vegas-style resort, and exploit its offshore gas resources, the academic said.

  Yemen: US Airstrikes Kill 53, Including Women and Children

Trump officials are threatening more airstrikes as the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, are vowing a response | A major round of US airstrikes that hit Yemen on Saturday killed at least 53 people, including women and children, Yemen’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.  According to Yemen’s SABA news agency, at least five children and two women were among the dead.  Another 98 were wounded by the US bombing, and the Health Ministry said many of the casualties were civilians, while the US is claiming it killed “multiple” leaders of Yemen’s Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah.  A total of 40 US airstrikes were reported to hit Yemen, primarily focusing on the northern Saada governorate. Strikes also hit the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the governorates of Taiz, Ibb, Dhamar, Al Bayda, Marib, and Hajjah. Targets that were reported hit included power stations, residential areas and homes, and Houthi military sites. The strikes marked the first time the US bombed Yemen under the new Trump administration.


  ‘This isn’t war. It’s genocide’: Why the world is silent about massacres in Syria

Mohamed Salah | Survivors of the violence against the Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities shares their stories with RT | Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the dominant militant group in northwestern Syria, once presented itself as a local opposition force. Just over a month ago, the group was formally disbanded and became part of the Syrian Defense Ministry, yet its origins tell a far more sinister story. Born out of the ashes of Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda’s official branch in Syria, HTS carries the same ideological DNA as the world’s most notorious terrorist network. While it has sought to rebrand itself for international legitimacy, its methods remain unchanged: Massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the systematic extermination of those who do not conform to its radical ideology.  Nowhere has this been more evident than in Syria’s coastal cities, where HTS and its foreign recruits have unleashed an unspeakable wave of violence against Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities. Entire villages have been erased, their inhabitants slaughtered in the dead of night. Yet, as these horrors unfold, the world remains indifferent, and the silence of international powers only emboldens the perpetrators.

  Aisha: Tragic story of Palestinian girl never back home

Marzieh Rahmani | This story is not just the story of Aisha but it is the common sorrow and grief of the Palestinian nation for the past 76 years; the oppressed nation whose ultimate wish is to see their motherland even one time before death. | A group of Mehr News Agency correspondents visited an art exhibition that the Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi collected its photos from the Palestinian refugee camp at the Museum of Contemporary Palestinian Arts in Tehran.  In 2023, Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi went to the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. During this visit, he encountered the life stories, dreams, and laughter of the Palestinians and saw their family albums. This museum is the result of his photography of Palestinian people living in 4 Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.  Entitled 'Keys Older Than Israel', the gallery exhibits pictures that Ramzi captured from the refugee camps in Lebanon. The pictures depict the life story of Palestinian refugees who kept their homes' keys in the hope of returning to their motherland, Palestine.

  Sizing Up Israel Foreign Ministry's Biblical Map: ‘Promised Land’ Provocation or Expansion Plan?

An alleged Biblical map of the Kingdom of Israel, shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry's Arabic-language account on X, has touched off heated debates on social media and raised alarm among Arab officials.  What’s Behind the Commotion? The map depicts the boundaries of the ancient Kingdoms of Israel and Judah as described in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible. The biblical land overlaps with areas of modern-day Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The post recounts the biblical story of the Kingdom of Israel, said to have existed 3,000 years ago, celebrates the revival of the Jewish people, and refers to Israel as "the only democracy in the Middle East."  Fierce Social Media Debate Erupts: Many Arab-language users criticized the map, arguing that the biblical version of Israel’s history is allegedly not thoroughly supported by archaeological evidence or other historical sources. Some netizens took issue with Israel’s claim of being the “sole democracy in the Middle East”. Some characterized the post as a provocation, accusing Israel of being what they call an "occupying power" and of having "stolen" the land from Arabs.  Arab Officials Blast Biblical Map as Deliberate Provocation: The PA: The Palestinian Authority condemned the map as a violation of international resolutions and laws. Jordanian Foreign Ministry: Amman denounced the map as "baseless" and "false," urging Tel Aviv to halt "provocative actions and reckless statements." Qatari Foreign Ministry: Doha warned that the publication of the map could undermine any peace prospects in the region, especially amid the ongoing Gaza war.  What is "Greater Israel"? Arab News associated the map with the concept of "Greater Israel," which envisions the expansion of Israel to the territorial boundaries outlined in the Tanakh. The Movement for Greater Israel was established after the Six-Day War of 1967, during which Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The idea is popular with Israeli officials and the nation’s media. In 2024, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that "the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus." In September, The Jerusalem Post published an article suggesting Lebanon could be part of Israel’s "promised land," though the piece was later removed. Following the downfall of now ex-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Israel fully occupied the Golan Heights. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that this territory will remain an integral part of Israel "for eternity."

  Video Surfaces of Syria’s New Justice Minister Overseeing Executions of Women in 2015

At the time, Shadi al-Waisi was enforcing Sharia law in areas controlled by al-Nusra Front, the al-Qaeda affiliate that was a predecessor to HTS | Videos have surfaced online of Syria’s new justice minister, Shadi al-Waisi, overseeing the execution of two women in 2015 over charges of adultery and prostitution.  Al-Waisi is part of the new Syrian government led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which took power after ousting former President Bashar al-Assad on December 8.  Verify-Sy, a fact-checking organization, confirmed that it was al-Waisi in the two videos that emerged online. In one video, al-Waisi is seen reading a ruling that the woman was found guilty of “corruption and prostitution” and sentencing her to death.  In the other video, al-Waisi appears to be carrying a gun and tells a woman to sit down as she’s pleading for her life. Once she moves down, another armed man shoots her in the head.  At the time, al-Waisi was working as a “judge” enforcing Sharia law in areas of Syria’s northwest Idlib province that were under the control of the al-Nusra Front, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria that merged with other Islamist groups in 2017 to form HTS.

 At least 22 Palestinians, including children, are killed throughout Gaza on New Year’s Day in Israeli attacks in northern Jabalia, the central Bureij refugee camp, and southern Khan Younis.
 Days of heavy rain have flooded hundreds of makeshift shelters across the Strip, piling more misery on displaced Palestinians as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid.
 The United Nations says Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s hospitals have pushed its healthcare system to “the brink of total collapse”, and Israeli justifications that Palestinian armed groups use the facilities are “vague, broad” and “contradicted by publicly available information”.
 Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,553 Palestinians and wounded 108,379 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 taken captive.

  Yemen downs F-18, target USS Truman thwarting attack on Sanaa

The Yemeni Armed Forces successfully thwarted an American-British attack on the country, shooting down an F-18, forcing the USS Harry Truman to withdraw, and warning of further action to defend Yemen and support Palestine. | The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a significant victory in repelling an American-British attack against the country, which was reportedly orchestrated to support the oppression of the Palestinian people and in retaliation for the ongoing support front that the Yemeni people have launched after October 7.  According to a statement from the Yemeni military, an operation was carried out with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones. The operation led to several key outcomes:

First, the Yemeni forces successfully shot down an F-18 aircraft, while enemy destroyers attempted to confront the Yemeni drones and missiles launched against the aircraft carrier simultaneous to the US-UK aggression against the country. Second, the statement noted, most of the hostile aircraft retreated from Yemeni airspace to international waters in the Red Sea in an effort to defend the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, which was being targeted. Third, the attack launched by the coalition on Yemeni territory failed, and the Yemeni Armed Forces marked a crucial defeat for the aggressors. Fourth, the USS Harry S. Truman, after being subjected to multiple attacks from the missile force, naval forces, and air force, withdrew from its previous location in the Red Sea towards the northern waters.

Truman aircraft carrier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed early Sunday morning. The two Navy pilots were able to eject from the fighter jet and were recovered safely, although one sustained minor injuries.  The incident occurred just as American and British aircraft conducted new bombing raids targeting alleged missile storage sites and command facilities in Sanaa to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, according to a CENTCOM press release issued earlier on Saturday night.

  Turkish president calls on West to stop Israel in Syria before it’s too late

"All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said

💬 "Israel has made a point of violating international law. The world was silent when it trampled on international law in Gaza. It also occupied territories in Lebanon, where blood was shed, and the world was silent once again. Today, Syria is the target of Israel’s recklessness," Erdogan pointed out, mentioning the 1967 United Nations Security Council Resolution 242. "The resolution condemns Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights and demands its withdrawal from the area. It’s important for the international community to take measures to implement the resolution," the Turkish president stated. "All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Erdogan added.

  The Armed Syrian Kurds Will Be Destroyed If The US Doesn’t Step In To Save Them

Andrew Korybko | It remains to be seen whether America will once again come to their rescue or finally abandon them. | The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed senior US officials to report earlier this week that Turkiye is preparing for another conventional military intervention in Syria against the armed Kurds there. This was followed by the State Department revealing that the ceasefire between Turkiye and the US-backed but Kurdish-led “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) had been extended till the end of the week.  For background, the US has bases in SDF-held northeastern Syria, which is agriculturally and energy-rich.On that same day, the SDF’s Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi proposed a US-supervised demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Ayn al-Arab/Kobani, which coincided with the terrorist-designated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) military chief proclaiming that they reject federalism and won’t grant such to the Kurds. The first statement is meant to have the US once again save the Syrian Kurds’ autonomous project while the second clearly signals that it won’t be tolerated in the so-called “New Syria”.

  US Launches More Airstrikes in Syria, Claims 12 ISIS Fighters Killed

The US, Israel, and Turkey have all been bombing Syria in the wake of the regime change that ousted Assad | US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Monday that its forces launched airstrikes in Syria, claiming the attacks targeted ISIS camps and killed 12 ISIS fighters.  CENTCOM said in a press release that the strikes “were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, preventing the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria.”  It said the airstrikes were launched against targets in areas previously controlled by Russia and the previous government of Bashar al-Assad, who fled the country following the takeover of Damascus by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an offshoot of al-Qaeda.  Since Assad’s downfall, the US, Turkey, and Israel have all been bombing Syria. On December 8, the day Assad fled, the US launched heavy airstrikes in Syria, saying it hit 75 ISIS-related targets.

  'Stepping down was not an option, departure unplanned': Al-Assad

Ousted Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, releases a statement clarifying the events leading up to his departure from Syria to Moscow as the regime collapsed. | Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad broke his silence following the collapse of his regime on December 8, releasing a statement detailing his account of the events that unfolded in Syria earlier in December.  Al-Assad's statement sought to clarify the events leading up to his departure from Syria as armed groups swept the nation amid the collapse of all army positions, leading up to Damascus, and the irrevocable fall of state institutions and their effectiveness.  Based on the ousted president's statement, which saw a delay in release in light of a communications blackout for security reasons, addressed the circumstances of his departure for Moscow, asserting that it was not previously planned nor was it - alongside seeking refuge abroad - an option presented by him or his entourage.  It was not until Sunday, December 8, that he left Damascus for Lattakia, to visit a Russian military base to "oversee combat operations." However, the president recalls that it soon became clear that all forces had withdrawn, leaving the final defense line unprotected, while armed groups were simultaneously drone-striking the Hmeimim airbase, prompting Moscow to order an immediate evacuation the same day.
