Abdullah Ibhais says he was jailed for 3 years in Qatar after refusing to help cover up the cruel treatment of migrant workers who built Qatar 2022. Now, ahead of the next World Cup, he says his passport was seized by Jordan, and he was warned to stay silent. Share his story.

“Gut wrenching” He smashed a policewoman’s spine with a sledgehammer. Zack Polanski is on the side of the Antizionist domestic terrorists.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Honoured to attend the State Lunch hosted by my friend President @Isaac_Herzog at the Presidential Residence in Jerusalem. From Davos to Israel, our conversations have reflected the growing ties between Somaliland and Israel. Today, those ties take another important step forward as we work together to build a future of partnership, cooperation, and shared opportunity for our peoples. I extend my sincere appreciation to President Herzog for his warm welcome and generous hospitality. #SomalilandIsrael

Abdullah Ibhais is a Jordanian citizen and former communications director for the committee that organized the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Ibhais told the @guardian how he was imprisoned for three years in Qatar after refusing to whitewash the harsh working conditions of foreign workers, who had not been paid for months and were forced to build the stadiums. And now, when he tried to testify about the affair ahead of the new World Cup, his passport was confiscated in Jordan and he was warned not to speak about Qatar, the workers, or his imprisonment again. So let's help him make his voice heard and expose the injustices of the Doha.

‼️ Notable: Sharaa acknowledged that the status of Shebaa Farms remains disputed btw Lebanon & Syria . The Assad regime never clearly said that, as Hezbollah used the Farms as a justification for retaining its weapons after Israel’s withdrawal in 2000.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim; I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel. To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic. Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect. #SomalilandIsrael

טור לא מוצלח שהייתי הופך לגמרי על ראשו: ימנים שימושיים הם אלה שמאותתים שהם קהל שבויי- מעניקים צ'ק פתוח למפלגות ללא תלות בהתנהלות, במדיניות ובהישגים הממשיים שלהן. קשיחות בהצבעה היא אסון. לאזרח יש רק שוט אחד מול השחקנים הפוליטיים השונים- האפשרות לשלול מהם את הקול שלו. חברה עסקית שתרצה את הכסף שלי תצטרך לעבוד בשבילי. אותו הדבר בנוגע למפלגות. אף אחד לא צריך להתנצל על זה. הקול שלי דורש מאמץ, הישגים ופירות עבורי ועבור ילדיי. מי שמסתכל על 4 השנים האחרונות ואומר לעצמו "אני רוצה עוד מזה!"- שיצביע למפלגות הקואליציה. מי שמסתכל על 4 השנים האחרונות ואומר לעצמו "מגיע לילדים שלי הרבה יותר טוב מהדבר הזה"- שלפחות יאותת שהוא מאוד מאוד פתוח לחלופות וצירופים שונים ויצירתיים.
ימנים שימושיים / אתם אנשי ימין שלא מתלהבים מהממשלה הנוכחית, ושוקלים להצביע לאיזנקוט או לבנט ולפיד? יש כמה שאלות שחשוב שתשאלו את עצמכם makorrishon.co.il/news/polit…

There’s a reason Europe considers Hezbollah only half a terrorist group. France has forced the European Union to distinguish between Hezbollah’s military and political “wings,” the one sanctioned and the other diplomatically respectable. One problem: It’s a fiction, as Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi laid bare on Wednesday.

“I left convinced of something long suspected: Hamas’s twenty‑year rule was sustained not only by its own brutality but by an ecosystem of NGOs, donor nations, Western European governments, journalists, academics, activists, lawyers, and even self‑styled human‑rights defenders who normalized Hamas, treated it as a legitimate authority, or tolerated its abuses because their hostility toward Israel outweighed their concern for Gazans.”
Will Europe Save Hamas in Gaza? I recently met with a high-ranking European official from a country deeply involved in the Israel and Palestine file to discuss Gaza’s future and immediate options for relieving civilians trapped under Hamas’s grip. I presented a simple proposal: create safe zones across the "Yellow Line" into the Israel‑controlled green zone and support new, organized, secure, Hamas‑free communities where Gazans could finally begin rebuilding their lives. Whether the issue is humane living conditions, deradicalization, education, healthcare, or shielding civilians from both Hamas or Israeli strikes, the green zone is the only place where meaningful action is possible. Instead of engaging, the official launched into a long monologue about their country’s contributions to the Palestinian Authority, UNRWA, and other institutions, all while insisting on their own “humility” as a faraway European nation. Then came the truly alarming part: a casual normalization of Hamas. The official proudly described how easy it had been to work with Hamas before October 7, praising the group for providing “excellent security” and being “easier to work with than others.” What they called pragmatism was, in reality, a twenty‑year pattern of enabling a violent terrorist organization responsible for immense civilian suffering. When I explained that any Hamas‑free zones would require vetting at the Yellow Line to prevent weapons or operatives from entering, the official reacted with shock. “This vetting would violate international law,” they repeated, insisting that their country could not fund projects with any checks on who enters. I noted the absurdity: I had undergone extensive vetting just to enter their country, and even this building, yet they believed Hamas fighters should be able to walk into new civilian safe zones unimpeded. Their only response was vague appeals to “international law,” which, in their interpretation, seems to require allowing terrorists to hide among civilians. The meeting ended on an even more surreal note. When the official asked what would happen to Hamas fighters left in the red zone, I said I didn’t care; they could fight the Israeli military on their own all they wanted once they no longer held two million civilians hostage. The official lamented that “this isn’t the old American West” and expressed concern for what would happen to Hamas without human shields. Disgust doesn’t begin to describe my feelings and reactions.

קידוש הגוש האמוני בכל מחיר הפך לעבודה זרה שמסכנת את עצם קיומה של מדינת ישראל. הצבא זקוק ללוחמים, אבל העסקנים החרדים דורשים למנוע גיוס דווקא בזמן מלחמת מצווה. כשמוסיפים לזה את המאמצים למנוע שילוב בכלכלה בזמן שהאוכלוסייה החרדית גדלה בקצב מהיר, מקבלים מתכון לקריסה, ומי שמשלם את המחיר הוא הציבור המשרת והעובד שקורס תחת הנטל. בליץ החקיקה שהם דוחפים עכשיו, תוך איום מתמיד על פירוק הגוש, מוכיח דבר אחד: כדי ליישם את דרך הימין, אנחנו אלה שצריכים לפרק את הברית הזו. האחריות הלאומית שלנו היא להפסיק לפחד משיקולים פוליטיים, ולעמוד מול הבוחר עם דרך לאומית וליברלית ברורה. רק ככה נבטיח ימין אמיתי, חזק ואחראי.

Forcefully opening the Strait of Hormuz would help restore U.S. credibility and re-establish deterrence against Iranian efforts to open and close the strait like a light switch. Tehran is counting on Trump’s reluctance to resume military activity. If Iran is left able to dominate the Strait, the Gulf Arabs’ economic future is endangered, along with regional peace and security. The decision lies with Trump.
