@eytanhalon As you know, press cannot enter conflict areas without permission, coordination or invitation from the ones in control. Our job is to talk to all sides. At least we can go to Bekaa. International press is still denied entry to Gaza. Why? Isn’t the war over? @UriksFredrik

Shocking to see that Norwegian public broadcaster NRK's Middle East reporter @SidselWold proudly joined a Hezbollah press tour in Lebanon yesterday. Yes - arranged by the Iranian terror proxy currently firing rockets indiscriminately at Israeli cities and murdering civilians.

@UriksFredrik @eytanhalon Read the text, the men by my side is a cameraman and a driver, they have nothing to do with Hizbollah. We are press people at work. Sometimes I am in Hizbollah controlled areas. Sometimes in IDF controlled and sometimes in Hamas controlled areas. This is my job.

@eytanhalon @SidselWold So journalist should not cover all sides? I’ve been touring with IDF, Hizbollah, Hamas, US forces in Afghanistan, Taliban, etc. That’s journalism. Covering stories from as many perspectives as possible, even if it will include talking to people bombing civilians, like IDF & Hamas

🤯"Out of the blue, while Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg walked down an Oslo street last month, Donald Trump called," per Dagens Næringsliv. "He wanted the Nobel Prize- and to discuss tariffs." reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

Mandy Patinkin deler frustrasjon over Netanyahu og Israels krig i Gaza:

@PatinkinMandy fra #Homeland om #gaza

Yesterday I received a message from the head of Hamas’s negotiation team. The following two sentences are his most important message to the Israeli public: **"Israel has repeatedly rejected our proposal to release all Israeli hostages at once in exchange for ending the war. They preferred a partial solution – which clearly indicates their intention to continue the war, as well as the fact that the issue of the hostages is not considered a central concern by the Israeli public."** **"As for governance in Gaza after the war: from our perspective, this issue is completely settled, and we have made our position clear: we want an independent professional committee to govern Gaza with full authority – and Hamas will not be part of it."** (Gershon Baskin, July 13, 2025)

These settler attacks.. who will stop them? This is the village that produces the Taybeh beer. #IsraelPalestine

After watching Mamdani v Cuomo, any smart Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 should recognize that taking the Biden line on Israel is a political disaster.

Som ventet. Interessant å se om USA fikk et forvarsel som etter drapet på general Souleimani. #iran #usa

Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think 4. Wars are unpredictable 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop

We will not be silent in front of the man-made humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza. We call on Israel to immediately reverse policies, and ensure distribution of aid. All parties must engage for a ceasefire and release of hostages. Only peace can bring security for the region.

💥After endless embarrassment Netanyahu brought Israel by dissing the late Pope Fransisco, he decided he'd like to attend the coronation of Pope Leo XIV– only to pull back when the Vatican couldn't guarantee his immunity from arrest due to the @ICC warrants, scoops @itamareichner

@oysteinbogen Trump vil ha overskrifter igjen. Søker mer oppmerksomhet.

Noen som forstår noe av dette?

@FerdOwner «Vi bygger en fabrikk i byen Liten Stein, der borte. Jeg hadde jo ikke tenkt at jeg måtte veie mine ord på gullvekt for å kunne besøke den.» 😅 Godt skrevet. Gode tanker. Og gratulerer med tegneseriebok.

Og jeg lurer på hva vi ellers skal gjøre, vi som er i næringslivet, som har leverandører, kunder, samarbeidspartnere og relasjoner i et land som er i ferd med å miste seg selv. e24.no/internasjonal-…
