A Washington Free Beacon report found that the Post's foreign desk employs at least six people who previously wrote for Al Jazeera, the Doha-based news outlet bankrolled in part by Qatar's government and described by an Israeli court as an "intelligence and propaganda arm" for Hamas.

European Parliament Member Criticizes EU Attendance at Inauguration Ceremony of Pezeshkian While officials of the Iranian regime attempted to present the inauguration ceremony of the 14th government’s president as a “symbol of power” in the world, the presence of some foreign guests, including Enrique Mora, has faced criticism. Adam Bielan MEP, foreign affairs coordinator for the ECR Group, was among those who protested against the attendance of the Deputy Foreign Policy Chief of the European Union at Pezeshkian’s inauguration.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has reacted to the Israeli regime's latest strike on Lebanese soil that led to the killing and injury of several people. Israel’s strikes on Lebanon constitute a flagrant violation of international law, the Russian foreign ministry told TASS. "This is a blatant violation of international law," the ministry said. Local sources in Lebanon reported that several people were killed and injured following an attack conducted by the regime of Tel Aviv on Beirut on Tuesday night.

The Washington Post is being mocked online for its perplexing Monday front page photo showing mourners at the funeral of an 11-year-old girl killed by a Hezbollah rocket strike, which the paper paired with a headline about Israeli airstrikes. “Israel hits its targets in Lebanon,” the large-type front-page headline announces, positioned directly under a photo of anguished family members mourning over the coffin of Alma Ayman Fakhr al-Din, 11, one of the 12 kids killed by a Hezbollah rocket strike on a soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights. Another 40 people were injured in the Saturday strike, making it...

Will Proxy Wars in Yemen and Lebanon Ignite a Full-Scale Regional Confrontation? On Saturday, a rocket struck a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams, about 12 kilometers south of Lebanon and near the Syrian border, where dozens of children and teens were playing. Twelve people were killed and 20 others were wounded, according to the Israeli military. Local residents informed Israeli media that an 11-year-old child was missing. The Israeli military spokesperson confirmed the attack, stating that a Falagh-1 missile, manufactured by Iran and equipped with a 53-kilogram explosive warhead, was fired at the location. While Hezbollah...

As bad as you think the media is, it always manages to be worse.. The media routinely plays up civilian casualties in any Israeli air strike. But as the headlines show the game is played very differently when Islamic terrorist attacks kill children. After the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah struck a soccer field in the Israeli Golan Heights killing a dozen Druze children (Druze are a non-Jewish minority group in Israel whose members often serve in the Israeli military), the media did its best to write the most ambiguous headlines possible. Rocket From Lebanon Kills at Least 12 in Israeli-Controlled...

ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza, started discussing that war during a speech praising his country's defence industry."We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party...

The UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, and UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lázaro, on Saturday night called for “maximum restraint” between Israel and Lebanon following the rocket attack on Majdal Shams which killed 12 people. “We deplore the death of civilians - young children and teenagers - in Majdal Shams. Civilians must be protected at all times,” the two said in a statement. “We urge the parties to exercise maximum restraint and to put a stop to the ongoing intensified exchanges of fire. It could ignite a wider conflagration that would engulf the...

The evidence doesn’t lie only in the events of the last few days. It’s clear from Kamala’s long history of actions and statements regarding Iran, Islam, and Israel. If you’re a pro-American conservative, there are dozens of reasons to find Kamala Harris concerning, from borders to defunding the police to climate change to her DEI obsessions and so much more. And if you’re also a pro-Israel conservative, you must be very wary of her stance toward Israel. Despite an apparently full-throated condemnation of the pro-Hamas protesters in D.C. the other day and her statement about supporting Israel after meeting with...

MAGDALA, Israel — Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, said Saturday that Israel faces “all-out war” after a rocket fired by Hezbollah at the Israeli Druze Arab village of Majdal Shams killed at least nine people, including children, on Saturday evening. Children from ages ten to twelve were playing a soccer game when the rocket hit the field. According to an eyewitness interviewed by Israel’s Channel 13, a warning siren only sounded as the impact happened.

The Israeli military said it shot down a surface-to-surface missile from Yemen on Sunday, shortly after Israeli warplanes hit various Houthi targets in western Yemen. Yemen’s missile did not cross into Israeli territory, though “warnings of rocket and missile fire” were issued in case of falling fragments, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on X. It came hours after the IDF’s Air Force planes attacked Houthi targets in the western Yemen port of Hodeida, which is used as a supply route for the transfer of Iranian weapons to Houthi rebels, the Israeli military said late Saturday.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office praised former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for his record of achievements in protecting Israel and promoting peace between Israel and neighboring Arab states. “Israelis and the prime minister remember very, very well the incredible support which President Trump, while he was in office, gave to this country,” said Israeli government spokesman David Mencer. Mencer was reacting to news that Trump had reposted Netanyahu’s message of support following the attempted assassination on the former U.S. president on Saturday. Netanyahu expressed his relief that Trump had survived, offered best wishes for his...

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) stated that the Biden administration has been “micromanaging at the political level” when it comes to combating the Houthis and this micromanaging, pinprick strategy is like the strategy that “cost us in Vietnam under the Johnson and Kennedy administration[s].” Host Tom Basile asked, “Whenever I hear [about] a strike from the Houthis, I keep on thinking of Gulliver being pestered by these Lilliputians. Why aren’t we taking these people out and why aren’t the Israelis doing it or why aren’t we doing it...

The Biden administration’s legal justification for its attacks on Houthi militants in Yemen is “laughable,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said at a Senate Foreign Relations committee hearing Tuesday on United States actions in the Red Sea. Speaking to defense officials, Kaine said though “Houthi behavior is abhorrent,” he has “grave skepticism” about the administration’s interpretation of presidential military powers under Article 2 of the Constitution. “A narrow mission to defend U.S. shipping, both military and commercial — that is Article 2 self-defense,” Kaine said. “Article 2 self-defense means you can defend U.S. personnel, you can defend U.S. military assets, you...

Closer cooperation between Russia and the Houthis in Yemen could exacerbate the strategic dilemma facing Western powers as they seek to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea and beyond. There are indications that Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering supplying the Iran-aligned Yemeni Houthi movement with anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, Middle East Eye (MEE)—citing an unnamed senior U.S. official—reported on Saturday.

Recent reports suggest that Russia is considering providing the Houthi rebels in Yemen with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially exacerbating the strategic dilemma facing Western powers as they seek to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea and beyond.
