    Trump launches ‘October 7 Joint Task Force’, as war on Palestine protesters widens – Mondoweiss

    Last week the Trump administration announced the formation of a joint task force that it said is meant to hold Hamas leaders accountable for the October 7 attack. But many fear it will be yet another weapon the administration will use to target activists within the United States.

    Trump downplays firestorm over leaked Yemen air strike chat

    US President Donald Trump downplayed a growing scandal Tuesday after a journalist was accidentally added to a group chat about air strikes on Yemen, denying any classified information was shared and defending a top aide over the breach.

    ‘On a journey’: Family mourns Hossam Shabat, journalist killed by Israel | Israel-Palestine conflict

    Amal Shabat is delirious with pain.

    Hossam Shabat, Al Jazeera Mubasher journalist, was killed by Israel in a targeted strike on his vehicle on Monday.
