Three Israeli lies. This is the legal truth: 1. Article 27(b) of Annex III to the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement of 1995 (known as 'Oslo II'), reads: "In Area C, powers and responsibilities related to the sphere of Planning and Zoning will be transferred gradually to Palestinian jurisdiction that will cover West Bank and Gaza Strip territory [except for settelemnts], during the further redeployment phases, to be completed within 18 months from the date of the inauguration of the Council." The responsibility and powers for spatial planning in Area C should have been vested in the Government of Palestine since April 1997. Israel violated the Agreement, in breach of the principle of pacta sunt servanda regulating interntional treaties.

The IDF Chief of Staff has warned that the IDF is on the verge of collapse after 900 straight days of war. This is what he told the government yesterday: 1) Reservists are being stretched to a breaking point across multiple active fronts simultaneously: Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, and the Iranian front 2) No ultra-Orthodox conscription law has been passed, leaving thousands exempt from service in practice 3) The cabinet approved the legalization of dozens more outposts and farms in the West Bank, requiring additional troops to protect them 4) Jewish nationalist terrorism is surging in the West Bank, requiring an additional battalion to be deployed there, with possibly another needed soon 5) Mandatory service is set to shorten to 30 months in January 2027, the opposite of the IDF's request to extend it to 36 months 6) The government is avoiding passing the necessary laws (conscription, reserves, extended service) largely due to political pressures related to the Haredi exemption controversy The expansionist policies of the government are straining the army to the point of no return. The IDF cannot carry this load and will "collapse into itself" according to the Chief of Staff soon if the wars of expansion do not stop. Israel is simply not big enough and not rich enough to dominate the Middle East in the long-term.

Trump is sending 12,000 American soldiers to face 2 million Iranian soldiers and drones aided by China and Russia.

🤔🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺 WSJ: Separately, the Pentagon notified Congress on Monday that it intended to divert about $750 million in funding provided by NATO countries through the PURL program to restock the U.S. military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine. The first official said it was unclear whether European countries providing their funds for the initiative to bolster Ukraine understood how the money was being spent.

I mean, how the hell is this even legal? Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?

Hegseth on Iran: For years, they told the world their missiles could only range two kilometers. Surprise—yet again, Iran lied.

Blinken’s own experts at the State Department repeatedly told him that Israel was violating US and international law, and he ignored those reports and lied to Congress about it. Blinken’s maneuvers to get weapons to Israel, in violation of US law, make him complicit in genocide.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: There’s no hierarchy of trauma — the trauma in Israel, the trauma among Palestinians, the same.

Just walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing.
