TikTok “Ban” Is Reignited After Getting Wedged Into Ukraine and Israel Funding Bill
The House's TikTok ban, embedded in a broader foreign aid package, forces the Senate to reconsider its stance.
A bill targeting popular Chinese social media app TikTok has once again been approved by the US House of Representatives, this time shoe-horned into a comprehensive package addressing international affairs and foreign adversaries, including Russia.
These broader repercussions make it difficult for the Senate to delay its assessment of the proposal. The bill, which came with an overwhelming support of 360-58 votes, along with other foreign aid propositions aims to address various international flashpoints, such as providing military assistance to Ukraine and Israel and sending relief aid to Gaza.
Previously, a standalone version of the TikTok bill that won the House’s approval 352-65 last month had been languishing in the limbo of the Senate without a clear path forward. Its future appeared uncertain amid undecided sentiments from many senators. However, the shift in attitudes became palpable once the bill was strategically wedged into the foreign aid bundle.

US and UK Governments Step Up Stablecoin Regulation Efforts
The US and the UK are rushing to get stablecoins and cryptocurrency activities regulated as quickly as possible as elections for both countries creep closer.
Senator Sherrod Brown, chair of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, plans to advance stablecoin legislation by combining it with legislation related to marijuana businesses and clawing back compensation from bankers. Any attempts to regulate stablecoins in the U.S. have been very slow, especially with the upcoming 2024 elections.
Very similarly, the UK is also moving to regulate stablecoins and other cryptocurrency activities, and plans to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework by mid-2024. Despite the regulatory uncertainty, stablecoins are increasingly being adopted for payments and cross-border transactions.
...This legislative push comes at a time when Senator Brown, known for his cautious stance on digital assets, prepares for a reelection battle in Ohio against Republican nominee Bernie Moreno. Meanwhile, Representative Patrick McHenry, the current chair of the House Financial Services Committee, announced that he will not seek reelection, adding to the shifts in leadership that could influence the future of crypto regulation.
UK Also Prepares Crypto Regulation Legislation
Senator Brown is not alone in his mission to get stablecoins regulated. The UK government is preparing to introduce comprehensive legislation for the regulation of stablecoins and other crypto activities like staking by mid-2024, according to Economic Secretary Bim Afolami. Speaking at the Innovate Finance Global Summit, Afolami reiterated that the government is very committed when it comes to establishing a regulatory framework that will, for the first time, bring crypto asset activities like exchanges and custodial services, under regulatory oversight.

Australia Demands X Delete Content Surrounding Sydney Attack
Elon Musk's X battles Australia's online safety watchdog, highlighting the censorship concerns after a church stabbing incident in Sydney.
Elon Musk’s social media platform X is clashing with Australia’s online safety watchdog over a directive to remove content connected to an alleged church stabbing in Sydney. The incident, where a bishop was attacked during a live-streamed service, has raised concerns about censorship and freedom of speech.
The pro-censorship eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, issued notices to both X and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, requesting the removal of some posts about the violent attack. In response, Musk’s platform has indicated its intent to resist these orders, citing a commitment to free speech.
Musk posted on Friday, highlighting his disapproval of what he termed “global content bans” enforced by Australia’s censorship authorities. Despite the threat of fines for non-compliance, X’s legal team maintains that the flagged posts do not violate the platform’s policies on violent content.
X released a statement, shared by Musk, criticizing the order and describing the attack as a “horrific assault on free society.” The platform stated that it complied with the directive while challenging it legally, emphasizing that the eSafety Commission’s scope should be limited to Australian jurisdiction. According to X, demands for global take-downs represent an overreach of authority that undermines the principles of a free and open internet.

Chilling Evidence of Israeli War Crimes Unearthed in Gaza’s Mass Graves
Gaza's Government Media Office said that some of the bodies found in Khan Yunis' Nasser Medical Complex had their organs stolen
Over 200 bodies were discovered in mass graves in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Yunis, authorities in the strip announced on 21 April.
Two mass graves were discovered at Khan Yunis’ Nasser Medical Complex, Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Sunday. “About 700 bodies are expected to be found,” it added.
"We found in the Nasser Complex corpses without heads and bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen,” the media office went on to say. "The occupation executed dozens of displaced, wounded, sick, and medical staff" during its operations in Khan Yunis and Nasser Medical Complex.
Among the bodies found were those of children and elderly. Rescue teams reported seeing bodies wrapped in plastic bags with Hebrew writing on them. Many of the bodies had shown that their hands were tied behind their backs, indicating that they were executed, according to the media office.

UN Report Demolishes Israeli Propaganda Campaign Against UNRWA
Israel has waged a multi-year campaign against the UN aid group for Palestinian refugees in hopes of eradicating the right of return
Israel has failed to provide any evidence of its claims that employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) are members of “terrorist organizations,” according to an independent review led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna.
In January, Israel claimed without evidence that some UNRWA staff – until then the primary conduit of humanitarian aid into the besieged and bombed Gaza Strip – were members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and had participated in the Hamas-led attack on Israeli military bases and settlements on 7 October, known as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
The Israeli allegations promptly caused the US and other western nations to cut funding to UNRWA. This came amid reports from rights groups that Israel was using starvation as a weapon against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
The Guardian reported on 22 April that the “Colonna report,” which was commissioned by the UN in the wake of Israeli allegations, found that UNRWA had regularly supplied Israel with lists of its employees for vetting, and that “the Israeli government has not informed UNRWA of any concerns relating to any UNRWA staff based on these staff lists since 2011.”
The Guardian added that most donor nations have resumed their funding in recent weeks. However, UK ministers had said they would wait for the Colonna report to decide whether to resume funding. The US Congress has since banned any future financial support of UNRWA.
The Colonna review was drafted with the help of three Nordic research institutes and will be published later on Monday.
It confirms that Israel has yet to provide any evidence of its claims.
It notes that in March, “Israel made public claims that a significant number of Unrwa employees are members of terrorist organizations.”
“However, Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of this,” the report says.
The Colonna review makes clear that UNRWA is “indispensable” to Palestinians across the region.
