This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

A performance that brought tears to everyone’s eyes. Thank you to the Sükösd SUGO Boys and their leader, Zsolt Nebl, for making the inaugural session of the National Assembly truly unforgettable. Long live a free, democratic and humane Hungary!

The depravity of settlers is now reflected in the depravity of the vast majority of Israelis. Their dehumanisation of Palestinians has in turn destroyed their own humanity, as happened to most white South Africans during apartheid

Israeli settlers blocked children in Masafer Yatta from playing football on their village field threatened with demolition. The settlers sat before them chanting in Hebrew to intimidate them, while the children watched helplessly. How much longer will this continue?

Israeli settlers stormed Um Al-Khair in Masafer Yatta and prevented Palestinian children from playing football on their village field — a field already under demolition threat by Israeli authorities. Settlers blocked the children from playing while chanting in Hebrew.

This is what a “ceasefire” looks like in Gaza: forced displacement at midnight, ongoing bombardment, endless screams and bloodshed, and a persistent sense of insecurity that the Israeli occupation is deliberately trying to instil

Yes, Putin 🇷🇺 had to rely on troops from 🇰🇵 to repel the 🇺🇦 incursion into the Kursk region last year. I have difficulty seeing this as anything but a sign of weakness. And now the 🇰🇵 troops are parading in the Red Square.

Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was recently released from Israeli prison, where he was held for a year without charge and without a trial. He lost around half his body weight behind bars. “It was a real hell,” he tells @JDiamond1, in this heart-wrenching report.

HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Makhrour area of the Christian town of Beit Jala in the West Bank, raided the land of the Kisiyah family — a Christian family from Beit Jala — and vandalized Christian symbols and crosses. savewestbankchristians.com

Trump is a desperate man. Having started this pointless war with no idea for how to end it, he shows his frustration by threatening Iran with a nuclear holocaust.

"We can fight to stop the ballroom. If this means leaving the area as a destruction site for the rest of Trump’s presidency, so be it. Let its ugliness exemplify the Trump era. Let its rubble symbolize what he's tried to do to the American republic." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

I exposed at length last week the deliberately unworkable & maximalist disarmament proposal Mladenov delivered to Hamas in Cairo with a clear threat of Israel resuming the war if they don't accept it unconditionally. The proposal is meant to solicit a rejection to give cover to Israel's continued genocide & absolve it of all its responsibilities under Trump's "Peace Plan". Britain, Ireland, Saudi Arabia & Egypt had all pushed for a more realistic decommissioning framework in November 2025 that Hamas remains willing to engage with. It's modelled after Northern Ireland where disarmament is the outcome of peace rather than a prerequisite. The Mladenov proposal, however, demands Hamas & all Palestinian factions hand over every single rifle, rocket, tunnel, RPG & piece equipment before any Israeli withdrawal at all. Reconstruction & Israel's withdrawal are deferred to after 250 days & Israel would still keep 20% of Gaza indefinitely. Read here: 972mag.com/gaza-disarmame…

⚡️NEW: A document obtained by The Times of Israel shows the US-led “Board of Peace” told Gaza technocratic committee officials that Israel would no longer be expected to uphold key ceasefire commitments if Hamas refuses the proposed disarmament framework. The letter, signed by former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov and senior US official Aryeh Lightstone, and sent during the week of April 5 to Ali Shaath, the commissioner of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), the technocratic body meant to replace Hamas in governing Gaza, states Israel’s obligations to halt attacks, allow large-scale aid entry, reopen Rafah Crossing, and withdraw forces to the agreed “Yellow Line” would become “null and void” if Hamas does not accept terms on handing over its weapons. “Failure by Hamas to accept the framework within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by the Board of Peace and after consultation with the parties, shall render such commitments null and void,” the letter says. The document also appears to acknowledge Israel had not fully implemented parts of the October 2025 ceasefire, going through eight key provisions in a humanitarian annex tied to the agreement, including: ➤ Suspending “all military operations,” including airstrikes and artillery attacks ➤ Allowing 4,200 humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza each week ➤ Fully reopening the Rafah Crossing ➤ Withdrawing Israeli forces back to the agreed “Yellow Line” ➤ Allowing shelter materials and medical supplies into Gaza ➤ Repairing critical infrastructure in the Strip Hamas has consistently held that discussions about weapons cannot proceed until Israel fulfills requirements of phase one of the agreement. Full report below.

Opinion: There are grounds to suspect that Donald Trump is thinking of something bigger than self-adulation. The best way to perpetuate your name is to arrange for a successor with the same name, writes Edward Luce. ft.trib.al/mlPGoTD
