Netanyahu is apparently trying to turn Putin into his messenger, in an attempt to convince Iran that Israel doesn't want more war.

If Israel (and the U.S.) wanted peace, we would know it by their actions. The more they talk, the more we are reminded that they want the opposite.

"Israeli soldiers were actively engaged in the Hannibal Directive, and killed their citizens, because this could be used later in the atrocity propaganda... decapitated babies, people burned alive, women raped, etc."

Kevork Almassian, Host of Syriana Analysis, noted that 2 years on, we are reminded how Israel worked to create public opinion to accept the fact that they planned to kill and exterminate every Palestinian in the Gaza Strip.

Patrick Henningsen, Host of the 21st Century Wire, noted that all eyes should be on both what Israel is doing, and how the 44 governments representing the around 500 civilians on these boats respond to continued Israeli violations of international law...

Trump claims that if he can get oil prices to fall, then Putin will "drop out" of the war. As Former U.S. Diplomat Jim Jatras noted:

"The players are moving sideways to try to figure out their next move, and I think that’s particularly true in Trump’s case because he really has no path forward."

The White House confirmed that the Trump Admin was notified before Israel carried out strikes targeting Hamas negotiators in a residential area in Qatar, where they had been lured in by a US proposal for a ceasefire.

Ret. USAF Lt Col. Karen Kwiatkowski noted that this has become a pattern with the Trump Admin, where the US acts like it wants peace, and then supports an attack.

We saw it during Trump’s first term when the US assassinated Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, and then again recently when Israel launched a wave of attacks in Iran, while the US claimed to be preparing for talks.

Dr. Foad Izadi, an author and professor at the University of Tehran, noted that the US and Israel have shown they cannot be trusted, and Iran's response to their next attack must invoke a cost that discourages the attackers from continuing to wage war against Iran.

If the UN had the political will, it could take action to stop the genocide in Gaza right now. As former senior United Nations human rights official Craig Mokhiber noted, with Uniting for Peace:

"The General Assembly, within 24 hours, could adopt a resolution that calls for the stripping of Israel’s UN credentials, sanctions and a military embargo, the establishment of a criminal tribunal, reactivates the UN’s anti-apartheid mechanism, and establishes a multi-national UN protection force that could actually get into Gaza..."

"WE ARE NOT HERE TO PROMOTE ANYBODY'S AGENDA"

The Palestine Chronicle is being targeted in a lawsuit accusing the U.S. publication of “aiding” the kidnapping of three former Israeli hostages. The only problem? They never paid Palestinian Journalist Abdallah Aljamal for the articles he contributed from Gaza, and there’s no way to confirm that he was holding hostages in his home. Because not only was Aljamal killed by the IDF, but so were hundreds in his neighborhood, which was destroyed by Israel in the 2024 Nuseirat refugee camp massacre.

Ramzy Baroud, editor of the Palestine Chronicle, noted that the independent media outlet publishes articles from hundreds of contributors and their goal is to promote “the voice of ordinary Gazans.”

In the case of the Chronicle’s working relationship with Aljamal, Baroud said, “we never paid him a dime,” and noted that the articles published were on-the-ground coverage from Gaza.
