Hamas has for years overseen a secret police force in Gaza that conducted surveillance on everyday Palestinians and built files on young people, journalists and those who questioned the government, according to intelligence officials and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The U.N. General Assembly adopts a resolution in support of Palestinian statehood. The vote comes after the United States vetoed a Security Council measure granting full U.N. membership last month to a Palestinian state.

A historic move towards the two state solution

It is incredibly ironic that the media & these universities try to discredit these legitimate demonstrations as collaborators of “professional outside agitators” same way dictators discredit their political opponents as “agents of foreign governments”

Biden's Yemen strike reignites Congress' battle over war powers “If there's time to build an international coalition, there should have been time to come to Congress," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).

President Biden’s decision to strike Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen is reigniting the long-simmering congressional battle over war powers — and it's become a rare point of consensus for progressives and hardline conservatives.

Defying U.S. Pressure, Israel Deepens Gaza Assault Under the withering attacks, 165 people were killed in the past 24 hours, Gazan officials said, while Israel said it had destroyed the apartment of a Hamas leader.

Defying U.S. pressure.

Israel's military campaign in Gaza seen as among the most destructive in history, experts say After 11 weeks of war in Gaza, the Israeli military campaign against Hamas now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history, experts say.

“In just over two months, the offensive has wreaked more destruction than the razing of Syria’s Aleppo between 2012 and 2016, Ukraine’s Mariupol or, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II.”

This is a classic case of war crimes

The West’s 3 Options to Combat the Houthi Attacks One of the global economy’s most important arteries is at stake.

-Reroute ships?

-Attack the Houthis?

-Attack Iran?

I don’t understand how creating more problems to solve a single one is a rational strategy.

If we call for a #ceasefire they will end their attacks. Period. Simple

I don’t understand why would people bring twitter’s toxicity to this platform. Particularly, those who would screenshot a tweet & post it here then comment.

The laws of armed conflict consider the intentional destruction of religious sites without military necessity a possible war crime.

How Houthi attacks affect both the Israel-Hamas conflict and Yemen's own civil war – and could put... Missiles from rebel Yemeni groups risk widening the Middle East conflict. But the motivation behind the attacks could be more about self-interest.

This is why the Houthis are getting involved into the #Israel-#Gaza war.

Turkish minister says Somalia president's son will return to face trial over fatal highway crash Turkey's justice minister says the son of the president of Somalia will return to Turkey in the coming days to face trial over a fatal highway crash in Istanbul.

Eager to see how this drama unfolds.

Turkey has felt sidelined by the new #Somali president. This incident came at a time when Turkey was looking for a much needed leverage.

It is interesting to see how Saudi Arabia who fought the Houthis for almost seven years now pleads the US for restrain against the group. It shows how the region has changed & the US still has no clue on the landscape
