Israel has killed more than 1,300 Palestinians in daily strikes despite the ceasefire that was announced almost a year ago.

In the West Bank, Israel's annexation is unfolding unobstructed despite the clear ruling of the International Court of Justice.

What more will it take for states to take action to prevent the entrenchment of occupation across land earmarked for Palestinians under the two-state solution?

Words of condemnation ring hollow in the face of deliberate violations and suffering.

A consortium of Lower Saxony, investor Aurelius, and Israel's Rafael will convert the factory into a defense center making transport trucks, launchers, and generators for the Iron Dome system.

The deal was structured to bypass VW shareholder Qatar, which had blocked an earlier VW-Rafael joint venture.

The plant currently builds T-Roc Cabriolets with 2,300 workers; car production ends in 2027.

Still a letter of intent, not final.

Nicaragua accuses Germany of facilitating genocide through military and financial support for Israel.

Germany's lead objection: the Court would have to rule on Israel's conduct first, but Israel isn't a party and hasn't consented — making the case legally impossible to proceed.

Nicaragua responds tomorrow, arguing Germany's own obligations can be judged independently.

A ruling on these preliminary objections is expected in about six months.

Hearings run through Thursday.

UAE energy exports "will not be held hostage" to the Hormuz crisis, that no single state should control the strait, and called the UAE's response to Iranian missile attacks a "military success story."

Chinese HQ-17 SAMs, Turkish KORKUT guns (twin 35mm, 1,100 rounds per minute, 4km range with airburst ammo), and Turkish ŞAHİN 40mm counter-drone turrets.

The same video featured multiple Turkish drones including AKINCI and Bayraktar TB2.

The combination is designed as a gun-missile-point defense layer against drones, loitering munitions, and low-flying aircraft.

President Aliyev visited a production line run by Azerbaijan's MIRAS and Türkiye's Dearsan Shipyard, inspecting two platforms.

The SALVO armed USV (15m, missiles and guns, recoverable) and the KAYRA kamikaze drone boat (7.6m, 60+ knots, rams targets with a warhead).

Both platforms are designed for Caspian coastal defense and energy infrastructure protection.

Germany is de facto bankrupt. Germany is broke, and they are not telling you that.

At some point, you simply have to lay the cards on the table and put the numbers out there. The whole thing is no longer financially sustainable.

France is broke as well. Who is actually supposed to pay for this whole circus in the European Union?

Soon, we will no longer be able to do it, because interest costs alone are going through the roof.

And then we will have to freeze everything — and that is going to happen, because completely irresponsible and unserious policies are being pursued against our own country.

No chancellor before him has been as unpopular as Friedrich Merz, who has become a major burden on Germany’s positive development.

We will make policy for the Germans, for our own population, whose sense of security has been disturbed.

And quite apart from that, this whole spectacle of open borders that is being carried out here is simply no longer financially sustainable.

Just look at the labour and social affairs budget. Look at the entire spending policy.

Major Alex Klinner, 33, died in a KC-135 crash in Iraq in March supporting strikes on Iran.

The Air Force later admitted it gave inaccurate information and that his pay did include combat pay.

VP Vance said "we love you" but refused to call it a war.

Trump called it "small potatoes for us."

Since the conflict began, 18 US service members have been killed and 780 wounded.

Japan's PM Takaichi called it "completely unacceptable" and demanded its removal.

The unveiling was timed for Russia's renamed holiday — "The Day of Victory over Militarist Japan."

It follows Putin's first visit last month to Russian-held islands claimed by Japan off Hokkaido.

Relations have been deteriorating since Japan imposed sanctions over the Ukraine invasion.

We have a strong constitution, we have all the instruments needed to defend the constitution against a far-right state government, but we are experiencing a tectonic upheaval in our party system.

We cannot simply carry on as usual — neither can I, nor can the federal government.

We have failed to establish an emotional connection with the people.

A US appeals court ruled "there is no constitutional right to clean drinking water or honest information from officials about water safety."

The Fifth Circuit dismissed a lawsuit by Jackson, Mississippi residents over lead contamination, with the majority writing:

The Constitution does not provide redress for every governmental wrongdoing.

Biden refused to sell to the UAE high-value chips because of national security concerns.

Trump had no problem reversing that order and that ban and selling those Nvidia chips within hours after getting the check.

Trump has literally woken up our immune system in this country. All across this state, all across this country, people are showing up in record numbers.

We’re turning out record numbers. They’re voting in record numbers.

Democrats are back. We’re back!
