❗️Palestinian women in Gaza recount sexual exploitation linked to aid sites and organizations
As Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens, women report being exploited by local men tied to aid organizations, who offered food, money, water, supplies, or jobs in exchange for sexual favors.
Six women shared their experiences with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Some men’s demands were explicit, “Let me touch you,” one woman recalled, while others were framed in 'terms' such as “I want to marry you” or “Let’s go together somewhere.”
Five of the women said they refused such advances, though psychologists told AP that others have at times agreed.
One widow described how, after giving her phone number to a man wearing a UNRWA uniform at a designated humanitarian zone in Mawasi, she began receiving late-night sexual calls. She reported the incident to UNRWA in Gaza but said she was told she needed recordings as proof, something her old phone could not provide.

❗️ US judge blocks Trump bid to deport pro-Palestine students
A US federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration acted unlawfully by attempting to deport pro-Palestine student activists in order to silence criticism of Israel, violating their First Amendment rights.
Judge William Young, appointed under Ronald Reagan, condemned Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for abusing their powers, writing that Trump’s conduct broke his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” and amounted to a “full-throated assault on the First Amendment.”

❗️Yemen's Ansarallah declares war on US oil giants
Yemen's Ansarallah announced on Tuesday they would impose sanctions on US oil giants including ExxonMobil and Chevron.
The Sanaa-based Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC), created last year to coordinate between the Yemeni Armed Forces and commercial shipping operators, said it sanctioned 13 US companies, nine executives, and two vessels.
The sanctions are a response to US measures taken against Ansarallah earlier this year, despite a truce agreement with the Trump administration under which the group pledged to halt attacks on US-connected vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, HOCC added.
"The Republic of Yemen will never tolerate any action that affects its sovereignty, security and stability, and will exercise its legitimate right to apply the principle of reciprocity."

🇨🇴❌ 🇮🇱 BREAKING | Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered the Israeli diplomatic delegation to leave the country.
The move marks a major rupture in Bogotá–Tel Aviv relations and comes amid intensifying fallout across Latin America over Israel’s Gaza war and Trump’s new regional plan.
Petro, one of the most outspoken critics of Israeli policy in the region, has repeatedly accused Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza and aligning with U.S. imperial strategies. Expelling the delegation signals Colombia is prepared to escalate from rhetoric to direct diplomatic action.

Pfizer’s deadly legacy:
"And you know there's some people who are trying to put them in animals too...and I think many of us wouldn't want to eat that food."
The new deal is yet another reminder that the game’s rigged, and Big Pharma always wins.
Pfizer shares were up 6.8%, and the stock was headed for its largest percent increase since May of 2024.
