Palestine and Lebanon are burning

Édouard Soulier — 2026-07-02T14:55:21Z

Despite the ceasefires proclaimed, Israel continues its attacks in Gaza and Lebanon. Security Minister Ben Gvir's declarations calling for the “burning of Lebanon” openly express the logic of erasure at work, as part of a project of total regional domination.

Israel mistreats Flotilla activists and tortures Palestinian prisoners

An Gwesped — 2026-06-07T18:14:07Z

After the Israeli army's violent interception of the Gaza flotilla, activists have denounced humiliation and violence — a long-documented glimpse into the torture and sexual violence suffered by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. More than 430 activists from the 50 boats that set out to break the blockade of Gaza were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation army between Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 May, in international waters off the coast of Cyprus, up to 500 km from the coast of Gaza for the most distant boats and about 100 kilometres for the closest.

Towards a resumption of genocide in Gaza

Édouard Soulier — 2026-05-24T08:51:06Z

Behind the so-called ceasefire, the reconstruction of Gaza is blocked, and Israel is already preparing a new large-scale offensive. As always with Israel, agreements are not respected and ceasefires are mainly used to rearm and prepare for the next offensive. Nearly 800 people have been killed during this so-called ceasefire.

Justice for the Middle East Is Also About Climate

Adam Hanieh, Denys Gorbach, Simon Pirani — 2026-05-11T17:10:15Z

“The deepening climate emergency means that we need to put upfront the question of the climate and the urgent need to move away from fossil fuels. The Middle East is absolutely key to this because it sits at the centre of the world oil and gas industry, particularly in relation to global exports. The politics of the region – from Palestine to Iran – cannot be understood separate from this role of the Middle East in the global energy system.”

"It is essential to break the encirclement: let's not stop talking about Palestine, Gaza is not far from our home."

Macéo and Sama, Ramiro Giganti — 2026-05-01T09:05:51Z

In the night of 29-30 May, as was foreseen by Ramiro Giganti, Israeli forces illegally detained some twenty boats of the flotilla and arrested nearly 200 activists - trade-unionists, healthworkers, solidarity activists, electd representatives. They rendered the boats unusable.

Demonstrations in many countries of the evening of 30 April called for the liberation of all these activists and for the flotilla to continue its mission of bring even symbolic material aid to Gaza and breaking the blockade.
