For the first time since the 1967 occupation, Israel is expelling an entire Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem.
The Silwan area, located near the "Holy Basin," the Temple Mount, and al-Aqsa Mosque, is home to many archaeological and historical sites of exceptional significance.
As of April 2026, approximately 1,800 residents in Silwan are under threat of expulsion, after hundreds have already been uprooted and left homeless in the past two years. In Baten al-Hawa alone, 33 families have already been expelled, and 53 additional families, including 130 children, face a similar fate. In al-Bustan, Israel has already demolished 48 homes and plans to demolish the homes of 123 more families, which will lead to the expulsion of approximately 1,450 people.
The expulsion in Silwan is part of a policy of ethnic cleansing throughout the entire West Bank.

Iran falsely claimed IRGC hit a US ship.

🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles. ✅ TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Every time Todd Blanche opens his mouth, a defendant somewhere gets a better shot at motions for selective & vindictive prosecution.
