Israel Might Change After Its Election, but Not Much

Gilbert Achcar — 2026-11-08T11:58:04Z

After Israel's election, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot may have to lean on Arab parties to form a coalition. But even the opposition is unlikely to back away from Israel's war with Iran and efforts to annex Gaza.

Hundreds marched in three separate demonstrations to protest the mass murderers—President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian—speaking at the United Nations General Assembly held in New York last week. The event became a kind of macabre circus with these monsters in the big ring as some delegates walked out while others protested outside.

Israel continues ethnic cleansing

Édouard Soulier — 2026-09-22T07:16:57Z

While the Israeli elections have provoked a new racist and genocidal escalation, ethnic cleansing has continued in Gaza, Lebanon and especially in the West Bank. Evictions, settlements and the E1 project accelerated an annexation organized with the complicity of the Western powers.
As expected, the elections are being used as a pretext for a wave of racist and genocidal remarks. Almost the whole of Israeli society agrees on the essentials: acceptance of the genocide and rejection of any (…)

The framework agreement Lebanon-Israel, a capitulation to multiple threats

Joseph Daher — 2026-07-04T08:26:50Z

Following the fragile memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, on 26 June 2026 the Lebanese and Israeli governments signed, with the sponsorship of the United States, “a framework agreement”. In addition to representing a capitulation to US and Israeli political interests, this “agreement”, in its conclusion, threatens to transform the Lebanese state into a security subcontractor of Tel Aviv and thus deepen both political and sectarian tensions in the country.

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.

The Reasons for the US-Israeli Aggression against Iran

Sarah Selami — 2026-05-20T14:01:54Z

“It is important to remember that the Islamic Republic of Iran — and more broadly the Iranian capitalism it administers — is not a simple passive victim of this warlike configuration. It is a fully-fledged player, committed to its own logic of power, internal consolidation and regional influence.”
