A young man threw back a gas canister fired by the Israeli army during its assault on the Balata refugee camp in Nablus.
Israel has officially announced the expansion of its military operation, “Iron Wall,” in the West Bank to include Nablus and the Balata refugee camp. Several families were forced to flee by the Israeli army, who told them they would not be allowed to return. Snipers have been deployed on rooftops, camp entrances have been closed, and many individuals have been interrogated and arrested. The Israeli invasion of the camp was met with stone-throwing and chants in support of the resistance.
Israel’s military operation in the West Bank has now surpassed 75 days, resulting in the displacement of over 40,000 people—the largest displacement since 1967. In the occupied West Bank, at least 911 Palestinians have been killed by the army or by Israeli settlers since October 7, 2023.

Greeks have organized a 24-hour general strike today, halting flights, ferries, and public transport. Unions are demanding higher wages and the restoration of collective Labor rights that were removed during the EU-enforced austerity measures that followed the 2010 crisis.
Greece has some of the lowest wages anywhere in Europe, whilst also having a cost of living in line with wealthier EU nations. The strike also closely follows another round of strikes earlier this year, which took place around the anniversary of the Tempi train disaster. 57 were killed in that incident after austerity and privatization policies led to a decline in safety standards on public transport.

The far-right AfD continues to surge in Germany. According to the latest Ipsos poll, it is now the strongest party in the country for the first time in history.
This marks a new all-time high for the AfD. It also confirms a steady rise in support for the far right in Germany. The CDU/CSU, meanwhile, is back near the same level it had in 2021, when it lost power and moved into opposition.
To understand what this rise means in practice, read more about how over 100 known right-wing extremists are now working inside the German parliament—hired by the AfD and paid by the taxpayer.

At least 33 people have died in Kinshasa, the capital of the DR Congo, due to flooding caused by torrential rains. The Ndjili River overflowed, submerging homes and infrastructure, leaving numerous people trapped.
Criticism has been mounting against the government for its slow response and poor disaster management. Kinshasa’s inadequate infrastructure, including blocked drainage systems, has worsened the crisis.
In an unusual turn, photos emerged showing civilians helping military officials through floodwaters, reversing the usual roles.
President Félix Tshisekedi faced public criticism as recovery efforts continue. The government has set up emergency shelters for displaced families, but many people remain without access to clean water and basic services.

Trump wants Palestinians to be expelled and Gaza under US control.
Standing beside Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, the US president called Gaza “incredible real estate.” He said America should “own” and “control” it. Trump also reaffirmed his plan for the removal of Palestinians out of Gaza.
Netanyahu, under an active arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the use of starvation as a weapon, stood alongside Trump. This occurred during Netanyahu’s official visit to the United States, where he still remains today. While the US is not obliged to enforce the warrant, ICC members, including France, let Netanyahu use their airspace.
Since January, Trump has publicly pushed for the displacement of Gaza’s population, calling the territory a “demolition site” and urging Egypt and Jordan to take them in. This plan has been widely condemned as a form of ethnic cleansing by the UN, Human Rights Watch, and legal scholars.

🟡 BREAKING: Stock markets are set for another bad week as they react to Trump’s protectionist tariff policies. Futures tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down over the weekend and both are falling again today as markets open.
While many capitalists believed that tariffs would be a temporary measure to extract favorable trade deals with others, investors now realize that this will be a permanent policy under Trump, who is turning his back on the decades of free trade policy.
Instead of trying to compete with China in the open market, which the US has failed in thus far, US imperialism has resorted to leveraging the geopolitical power it still has to try and restore US manufacturing by force, despite production chains already being globalized.
Trump’s policy aims to “Make America Great Again” by cutting the trade deficit, but so far it has only resulted in: rising prices, retaliation, and accelerating the possibility of a recession.

Lebanon must dismantle not only Hezbollah but all militias in the country, according to Morgan Ortagus. The US Deputy Special Envoy to the Middle East visited Lebanon to stress the importance of dismantling Hezbollah to receive economic and military support from the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Lebanon has been struggling with an economic collapse since 2019. Beyond Hezbollah’s dismantling, US, IMF, and World Bank pressure ties funding to normalization with Israel. In February, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff suggested Lebanon and Syria could potentially join the Abraham Accords.
Israel's war on Lebanon killed over 4,060 and caused over $6 billion in damages. Despite obstacles, Hezbollah has been the primary source of funding for the reconstruction of southern Beirut and villages, committing an estimated $650 million.
Read here about Ortagus' role in the Arab-Israeli normalization deals and her unwavering support for Zionism.

Israel targeted a journalists' tent, burning some of them alive and severely injuring others.
Israel deliberately bombed a tent housing journalists near Nasser Hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip. At least two journalists, Helmi Al-Faqawi and Yousef Al-Khazindar, have been killed, and several others critically injured, including Ahmed Mansour, who was captured in the video.
Since October 2023, Israel has been deliberately targeting journalists, killing at least 210 in Gaza, making it the most dangerous region in the world for journalists in 2024. As testified by several journalists in the Gaza Strip, they have received death threats from Israeli intelligence agencies for their work.

The European Commission is proposing the creation of “return hubs,” centers for deporting migrants to third countries that are not necessarily their own. Migrant rights NGOs have condemned this and say that this is building extraterritorial jurisdiction, a concept that harks back to colonialism.

Thousands of Indigenous Brazilians marched in the country’s capital yesterday to demand the recognition of their ancestral lands. The march marked the end of the annual “Free Land Camp,” the country’s largest Indigenous summit.
In addition to land rights, they are also fighting for environmental justice and a fair energy transition. Another key demand that emerged from the summit was for COP30 organizers to give Indigenous leaders equal weight to heads of state.

“This is the body of a child. Is he a terrorist?” The US has targeted a residential area in Hodeyda, Yemen, killing at least six civilians, including three children.
The US-led attack on Yemen, ongoing since March 15, has killed at least 92 people. Despite US President Trump claiming “the Houthis have been decimated by relentless strikes,” Pentagon officials admit the impact has been limited. US officials say the bombings, heavier than those under Biden and larger than publicly acknowledged, have failed to weaken Yemen's capabilities or disrupt the Red Sea blockade.
The US has spent nearly $1 billion on its war in Yemen, according to the Pentagon. The high costs of deploying aircraft carriers, B-2 bombers, fighter jets, and air defense systems are raising concerns among military officials. US commanders are increasingly worried about the implications of these deployments on the country’s readiness for a potential conflict with China.

“They’re calling us up, kissing my ass” — Trump mocks world leaders as 104% tariffs on China take effect.
At a Republican fundraising dinner last night, Donald Trump ridiculed foreign leaders claiming they’re desperate and begging for trade deals. “They are dying to make a deal. Please, sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything, sir.”
The comments came at the same time the US imposed a historic 104% tariff rate on Chinese goods. While Trump bragged that countries are begging for relief, he admitted China had not reached out — calling them a “proud people.”
Beijing, for its part, says it will not cave to US pressure and is instead expanding trade partnerships elsewhere. Meanwhile, the European Union is walking a fine line, preparing retaliatory tariffs of its own in response to US measures. At the same time, it is also pursuing a 'zero-for-zero' tariffs deal with Washington.

Iran and the US to meet Saturday for nuclear talks.
US President Trump announced that a high-level meeting with Iran will take place in Oman. Trump emphasized that the US is holding direct talks with Iran—a claim repeatedly denied by Iranian officials, who have only accepted indirect talks.
Trump said that “doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,” hinting at a strike on Iran. Meanwhile, the US is reinforcing its military presence in the region—with warplanes and carriers—as part of its war on Yemen and pressure campaign against Iran.
Despite a US Intelligence Community report confirming that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon—and Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal—Israel and the US claim to want to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu suggested using Libya’s 2003 nuclear disarmament deal as a model. Despite promises from the US and UK of revitalization, cooperation, and sanctions relief, Libya ultimately faced a NATO invasion in 2011.

Indigenous leaders are demanding equal decision-making authority as heads of state at the upcoming COP30 summit. The UN Climate Change Conference is scheduled for November of this year in Belém, Brazil.
Gathering in Brasília for a conference, 8,000 Indigenous leaders from around the world issued the call for substantive inclusion in climate policy decisions. Delegations from Latin America and the Pacific joined under the slogan “We are the response.”
In Brazil, severe drought conditions in 2024 contributed to wildfires that burned around 18 million hectares of Amazon rainforest, an area larger than all of England. While Brazil’s COP30 team announced an Indigenous Leadership Circle, participants argue that symbolic gestures are not enough.
This call for equitable representation comes at a time when the US is experiencing a resurgence of climate change denialism. The Trump administration has initiated policies that roll back environmental protections and promote fossil fuel production by big corporations.

Palestinian journalist Ahmad Mansour has died from severe burns caused by an Israeli airstrike. Footage captured him engulfed in flames moments after the strike.
Mansour was in a tent housing journalists next to Nasser Hospital, which was deliberately targeted by the Israeli army. Mansour is the third journalist killed in this attack, alongside one journalist who was burned alive and others who remain critically injured.
A recently published report indicates that over 232 journalists have been killed by Israel since October 2023. On average, 13 reporters and media workers have been killed every week in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s war on Gaza is the deadliest assault on media workers ever recorded.

Huge anti-Trump-Musk protests swept the US over the weekend, with attendance in the millions at a national level. Even cities such as Boston saw over 100,000 participating.
The politics were diverse, with the rallies billed as anti-austerity protests to defend public services and social rights. Official organizers also listed NATO as one of the institutions that need to be defended against Musk’s spending cuts. Meanwhile, others present at the rallies carried Palestinan flags and anti-war placards.
The rallies brought together different groups, ranging from liberals to leftist and socialist movements, with many opposed to the inclusion of NATO in the list of priorities from organizers.

The US rushes for Congo’s minerals as the war continues to devastate the east.
As rebels close in on Goma, Washington moves fast. Lithium, cobalt, copper—vital for smartphones, electric cars, and the so-called green transition. In return, the US offers promises of security to a government losing control.
Western firms—some backed by billionaires like Bill Gates—are circling contested mines. The aim: push China out, lock the supply chain in.
Talks began in February, when Congolese officials approached Washington with a proposal: access to strategic minerals in exchange for increased security. Since then, the US has quietly expanded its presence, laying the groundwork for a deeper foothold in Congo’s mining sector.
KoBold Metals, backed by Gates, Bezos, and other Silicon Valley names, is already exploring a massive copper-cobalt site in the south. Meanwhile, more than 140 armed groups operate in the east, where villages are emptied, lives are lost, and displacement rises by the day.

“Peace isn’t the answer. Liberation is the answer.”—On the birthday of Black revolutionary Kwame Ture, watch this iconic clapback, schooling a white person that “peace” merely serves as a demand of the oppressor. In contrast, “liberation” is the actual solution.
The 1967 documentary “Tell Me Lies” captured this conversation, which explores the global response to the Vietnam War. At the time of its release, the documentary was heavily attacked by imperialist advocates.
Ture’s words continue to resonate, especially in light of the ongoing genocide in Palestine, the unwavering resistance, and the reigniting discussion of liberation.
