טייקון רוסי לשעבר ואסיר פוליטי ארמני שובת רעב באזרבייג’ן
In a striking act of protest, a former Russian tycoon and Armenian political figure, Ruben Vardanyan, has initiated a hunger strike from his cell in Azerbaijan. Vardanyan, who is also known for his philanthropic efforts, has been detained under charges related to his leadership role in the separatist administration of Nagorno-Karabakh, a region long disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan. His hunger strike, as announced by his family and legal representatives, is a demand for the immediate and unconditional release of himself and other Armenian prisoners held in Baku, Azerbaijan's capit… קרא עוד

ארה"ב והאיחוד האירופי מטילות סנקציות על מתנחלים קיצוניים ישראלים ועל גופים תומכים
In a coordinated effort, the United States and the European Union have taken a significant step against violence in the West Bank by imposing sanctions on individuals and entities associated with extremist Israeli settlers. The sanctions target those who have been involved in violent acts against Palestinian and Bedouin civilians, including assaults, property destruction, and fundraising activities for such actions. Among those sanctioned are entities that have raised substantial funds for already sanctioned violent extremists, highlighting the international community's resolve to curb… קרא עוד

ניווט בין המורכבות של קלפי בדואר ובחירות מקומיות
As local elections approach, the spotlight intensifies on the critical yet often overlooked aspects of the electoral process, particularly mail-in voting and the challenges it faces. Across various regions, the importance of ensuring that every vote counts has never been more emphasized, especially in the wake of recent controversies and allegations of fraud. With the deadline for mailing in ballots now passed, voters are urged to find alternative ways to ensure their ballots are submitted on time, highlighting the need for clear and accessible information on voting procedures.

נשיא סין מהדק את האחיזה בצבא עם יחידת לוחמת מידע חדשה
China has established a new information warfare department under the direct command of its top military body as it begins its largest restructuring of the armed forces in more than eight years.
The shift of information warfare to the direct command of the Central Military Commission — the top Communist party and state organ that controls the People’s Liberation Army — would hand Chinese leader Xi Jinping even more direct control over the military, analysts said.
The Information Support Force will aim to “speed up military modernisation and effectively implement the missi… קרא עוד

איסור על TikTok הוא תפיסת כוח ל-Deep State
If the bill's supporters get what they want, millions of Americans would find their ability to access TikTok terminated by the government, just in time for the November 2024 election. This radical state intervention was endorsed last week by the House Energy and Commerce Committee in a unanimous 50-0 vote, establishing a coveted bipartisan consensus in favor of expelling American users from their preferred social media platform. This extreme action is to be carried out, as usual, in the alleged name of "national security," and to more aggressively combat perceived "foreign… קרא עוד

בואו נודה בזה: ארה"ב לא תומכת במדינה פלסטינית.
The US regime supports a Palestinian state. Just not now. And not until it allows the US - the primary sponsor of the Israeli occupation - to midwife a “state” with no military, in which Israel controls its borders, airspace, maritime territory, and political leadership. In other words, not until Palestine signs away its sovereignty and national struggle in the name of achieving statehood.

מנהל ה-CIA נשמע אזעק: אוקראינה עומדת בפני תבוסה פוטנציאלית ללא הגברת הסיוע האמריקאי
In a series of stark warnings that have reverberated through the corridors of power in Washington, CIA Director William Burns has highlighted a grim forecast for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. Burns has unequivocally stated that without a significant ramp-up in military support from the United States, Ukraine stands on the precipice of defeat by the end of 2024. This dire prediction underscores the critical role of US aid in the balance of power in Eastern Europe and the broader implications for international security and democratic sovereignty.
The urgency of Burns' mes… קרא עוד

הפנטזיה להחיות אנרגיה גרעינית
Representatives from more than 30 countries gathered in Brussels in March at a nuclear summit hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Belgian government. Thirty-four nations, including the United States and China, agreed “to work to fully unlock the potential of nuclear energy,” including extending the lifetime of existing reactors, building new nuclear power plants and deploying advanced reactors.
“Nuclear technology can play an important role in the clean energy transition,” Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, told summit… קרא עוד

דמויות פוליטיות בבדיקה: האשמות על התנהגות בלתי הולמת משני צדי האוקיינוס האטלנטי
In a world where political integrity is under constant examination, recent allegations have emerged that put the spotlight on political figures in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In the US, Representative Matt Gaetz is facing an investigation by the House Ethics Committee over claims that he attended a party in 2017 where a minor and drugs were present. This inquiry is part of a broader investigation into whether Gaetz used illicit drugs while serving as a member of Congress, with particular interest in his behavior at parties in Florida following his election in 2017.

מלחמת עזה היא אלבטרוס סביב צווארו של ביידן
Gaza has become the albatross around Biden’s neck. It is his war, not just Benjamin Netanyahu’s. It will be part of his legacy, an element of his obituary, a blot on his campaign — and it could get worse if Gaza cascades into a full-blown famine or violent anarchy, or if a wider war breaks out involving Iran or Lebanon. An apparent Israeli strike on a military base in central Iran early Friday underscored the danger of a bigger and more damaging conflict that could draw in the United States.
Consider just one example of America’s fingerprints on this war under Biden&rsq… קרא עוד

מדוע "מומחים" ממשלתיים תמיד טועים לגבי אינפלציה?
Jerome Powell owes us an explanation. The Federal Reserve chairman this week confirmed what investors already had guessed: Surprisingly persistent inflation is dissuading the Fed from cutting its short-term policy rate as soon and perhaps as quickly as Wall Street had hoped.
It’s the right call. The Fed committed its worst error in 40 years when it acted far too slowly to tame inflation following the pandemic. Its institutional credibility—on which hangs a lot in a fiat-money system—now depends on Mr. Powell’s success in suppressing that inflation.
As recently as Decembe… קרא עוד

China ordered Apple to remove some of the world’s most popular chat messaging apps from its app store in the country, the latest example of censorship demands on the iPhone seller in the company’s second-biggest market.
WhatsApp and Threads as well as messaging platforms Signal and Telegram were taken off the Chinese App Store Friday. Apple said it was told to remove certain apps because of national security concerns, without specifying which.

הודו יוצאת לבחירות מונומנטליות: מודי עיניים היסטוריות קדנציה שלישית
India has commenced its colossal general election, a six-week democratic exercise that stands as the largest in the world. With nearly 970 million eligible voters, the nation is at a pivotal moment in its political history. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the face of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a figure synonymous with Hindu nationalism, is vying for an unprecedented third term in office. The election is not just a test of Modi's enduring appeal but also a referendum on the BJP's governance, particularly its handling of economic growth, job creation, and the promotion of Hind… קרא עוד

Israeli missiles have hit a site in Iran, according to the US broadcaster ABC News, which cited an unnamed senior US official.
The Iranian state television reported explosions in Isfahan, as air defences were activated and flights across several areas including Tehran and Isfahan were suspended.
There were no reports of casualties. Nor was there an official response from Iran.
Israel promised to respond after Iran last Saturday launched a barrage of drones and missiles on the country, after a suspected Israeli strike on Iran’s consulate compound in Damascus killed a high-ranking commander.… קרא עוד
