‘Crush, not anaesthetise’: Ben Gvir denounces Lebanon deal, seeks cabinet vote

‘Crush, not anaesthetise’: Ben Gvir denounces Lebanon deal, seeks cabinet vote Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has denounced the newly signed agreement with Lebanon as a grave mistake and said he has asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the deal to a vote in the Security Cabinet. Acknowledging that Israeli forces remain in most areas for now, he argued that the Lebanese state will not disarm Hezbollah and said he would continue to demand a cabinet vote on the agreement. In a separate post calling to crush, not to anaesthetise, the far-right minister said that Israel should pursue total military victory rather than rely on what he described as empty international promises. Agreements are only signed with those you've completely defeated. Against murderous terrorist organizations, you don't sign worthless papers—you achieve clear victory against them, he said. On 19 June, Ben Gvir's post was flagged by the X social media platform in which he called for all of Lebanon to “burn”. He has repeatedly called for Palestinians in Gaza to be annihilated.

Khamenei recalls strike on Minab school, urges legal action

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei criticised American and Israeli leaders for boasting of crimes committed against Iran and urged for pursuing legal cases in international and domestic courts against the deaths in Iran due to the conflict, reported ANI. In a series of posts on X social media platform as Iran marked the National Week of the Judiciary, Khamenei stated, The confessions and even brazen boasting of some of the leaders of the US-Zionist enemy regarding these crimes, are indisputably an admission of crime, and these effectively pave the way for the vindication of the [Iranian] nation's rights that have been violated. Khamenei recalled the war crimes committed against Iran and the death of the Minab school girls in his message - urging legal action in both domestic and international courts. Physical psychological damages inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd 3rd Imposed Wars, from child killings war crimes in Minab Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic international courts... From murdering newborns to our dear elderly population - above all, the martyrdom of the peerless, unique gem of our era, our magnanimous, mujahid Leader - is each a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic international courts, he said on X.

U.K. Political Crisis: PM Keir Starmer Resigns & Palestine Action "Terrorism" Sentencing of "Elbit 4"

Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as the United Kingdom’s prime minister and leader of the Labour Party following growing pressure from within his own party to step down. During his time in office, Starmer faced mounting opposition over his embrace of austerity measures amid a cost-of-living crisis in Britain, as well as his brutal crackdown on Palestine solidarity protesters. Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is widely expected to become the next prime minister. Some leaders of the British left have warned Burnham may do little to shift from Starmer’s policies, including his position on Israel. Starmer “really lost support in the party because he was perceived as too right-wing for it and because he was too boring. He lacked charisma,” explains our guest, the Australian British human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson. Robertson also discusses Britain’s Court of Appeal’s ruling that the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization is lawful, making it a criminal offense to belong to or support the organization. Four Palestine Action activists were recently sentenced as terrorists over their involvement in a 2024 raid on a British factory operated by one of Israel’s largest arms manufacturers, Elbit Systems.

No lasting Middle East peace without justice and recognition of Palestinian State – Daniel Attard

Labour MEP Daniel Attard delivered a clear message that reconstruction is worthless if it is not built on justice, accountability and the recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people. Attard was speaking during a debate in the European Parliament on the reconstruction of Gaza.In his intervention, Attard opened with figures that show the scale of the tragedy in Gaza: 73,000 Palestinians killed, including 21,000 children; nearly 60,000 children who have lost one or both parents; 10,000 children with life changing injuries; almost two million people displaced; hundreds of thousands of homes destroyed; and hundreds of journalists killed. The Maltese MEP criticised what he described as hypocrisy in the international response, asking whether the same caution would be used if these were Ukrainian children, or if these actions were being carried out by the Iranian regime. He also condemned the continued violence by settlers in the West Bank, where land is being taken, families are being attacked, children are being terrorised, and impunity is being allowed to continue. Attard reiterated that Israel has a right to exist, but insisted that Palestine has the same right. He said that recognising Palestine is not a punishment against Israel, but the rightful recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people. He concluded by stating that without this foundation, there can be no lasting peace and reconstruction, but only managed destruction.
