After 49 years as a political prisoner, Leonard Peltier is out, but not free. The Native American activist, persecuted by the US state, has been moved to house arrest following a last-minute commutation by former President Biden before leaving office.
In 1977, Peltier was wrongfully convicted of aiding and abetting the killing of two FBI agents in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. The evidence used to convict Peltier was very controversial, and his trial was ripe with irregularities. Many believe his imprisonment is retribution for his leadership in the Native American liberation movement.

UN’s Francesca Albanese says she is “shocked” about the German police interventions at a Palestinian event she is attending.
Albanese called the situation in Germany “pretty awful” after police were checking if they could arrest the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Territories.
Albanese is speaking today at the event hosted in Berlin. Keynote speeches and panel discussions on Palestine are on the agenda. German officials are already responsible for canceling two previous events just last week.
Riot police are on standby, ready to shut it down any moment—mirroring the crackdown against the Palestine Congress 2024.
The police imposed censorship restrictions and even told the organizers they would place undercover agents in the crowd for surveillance.

Is this the beginning of the end for the Ukraine war? US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held direct talks—the first high-level negotiations between the two nations since the onset of the war.
Both countries agreed to reestablish their respective diplomatic missions, a massive step in normalizing relations. The two countries will also appoint teams dedicated to the negotiations. Rubio emphasized that sanctions relief could even be considered as part of the negotiations.
Notably, the meeting did not include representatives from Ukraine or the EU, suggesting that the two will be marginal in shaping the outcome of the war.

🟡 NOW: German police stormed a Palestine-solidarity event in Berlin before it even began. The organizers, including DiEM25, have condemned the crackdown as “mafia-like tactics” from politicians trying to shut it down.
DiEM25 reported that police informed them undercover agents would be planted in the crowd. They also revealed that police are pressuring venue owners to cancel the event entirely. The hosts of the venue, the marxist newspaper Junge Welt, said they “never experienced such difficulties organizing an event in 17 years of work.”
The event’s featured speaker, UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, has already faced intense censorship in Germany.
Around 200 attendees were expected, but organizers believe the authorities will ultimately shut it down. “We expect unlawful police interference against those who speak out against the genocide in Gaza and challenge German complicity.”
🟡 NEW: German pro-Israel supporters vandalized the venue where UN’s Francesca Albanese was supposed to speak in Berlin today about the situation in Palestine. Albanese's appearances in Germany have faced multiple censorship attacks from institutions and the police.

🟡 HAPPENING NOW: Israel continues to violate the ceasefire in Lebanon by demolishing and destroying properties and land in Kfar Chouba in the south.
This morning, two Israeli trucks loaded with explosives were seen moving through the town, despite today’s deadline for the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon.
Israel plans to continue occupying five Lebanese locations “indefinitely,” violating the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah signed in November 2024.
Tomorrow marks the deadline for Israel’s full withdrawal from the occupied territories in southern Lebanon—a date the US already postponed from the original January 26 deadline at Israel’s request.
Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, killing, kidnapping and arresting civilians, blowing up houses, devastating roads, and bombing multiple areas across Lebanon. Now, Israel has announced it will maintain its presence in the country.
Israeli media also reported that Israel plans to triple the number of its troops stationed along the Lebanese border compared to the start of the war.

Syrian dock workers are protesting against mass redundancies at Latakia port, a result of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led government’s efforts to privatize state companies and persecute those who worked in the public sector under former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The port, which has long been a target of Israeli bombings, has seen almost all its workers fired under the new government.
Many public sector workers from the Assad period have been let go as the new administration has promised to introduce neoliberal reforms. The new Economy Minister has described their vision as “a competitive free market economy.”

Israel and the US claim they “will finish the job” regarding Iran, referring to a potential joint military strike in the coming months. In their joint press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly attacked Iran.
Rubio reaffirmed Washington’s unwavering support for Israel, stressing that the US will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power in the region.
According to a US intelligence report released last week, Israel is expected to launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities within the first six months of 2025. A US-Israeli attack on Iran could significantly heighten the risk of a broader regional conflict.
