[Definisci proPal e poi definisci fascista. L’incitamento di Francesca Albanese]. Rights Reporter. Define proPal and then define fascist. Francesca Albanese's incitement. Written by Franco Londei. November 30, 2025 Francesca Albanese comments on the ProPal attack in La Stampa. The proPal assault on the editorial office of La Stampa cannot and must not be underestimated, even less so if the phantom UN special envoy, Francesca Albanese, starts inciting and justifying the attack on journalists who are "not aligned" with Hamas's press releases. Which, put like that, is strange. The daily newspaper La Stampa , along with Repubblica and all the left-wing...

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot tells lawmaker the French government demands UN Rapporteur's resignation after her latest hateful rant against Israel. “France unreservedly condemns the outrageous and reprehensible remarks made by Ms. Francesca Albanese, which are directed not at the Israeli government, whose policies may be criticized, but at Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable," Barrot said. He stated that Albanese's remarks “target not the Israeli government, whose policies can be criticized, but Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable," and that they "add to a long list of...

France is calling for the resignation of U.N. “Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories” Francesca Albanese after she branded Israel as a “common enemy,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Wednesday.Albanese, a U.S.-sanctioned and notoriously anti-Israel United Nations official, delivered her latest remarks against Israel during her online participation at a forum hosted on Saturday by the Al Jazeera network in Doha, Qatar. The Times of Israel reports Albanese branded Israel as a “common enemy” that enabled the “genocide” in Gaza during her speech.“Instead of stopping Israel, most of the world has armed, given it political excuses, political...

A senior Hamas leader declared that surrendering weapons would “criminalize the resistance” and vowed Gaza would never accept “foreign rule,” openly defying President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace framework as Phase Two of the U.S.-brokered plan moves toward implementation. Speaking Sunday at the 17th Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Khaled Mashaal — the terror group’s former chief and current head of its diaspora office — flatly rejected the core requirement of Trump’s Gaza plan: disarmament tied to reconstruction and international oversight. Mashaal praised the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, arguing that the attack had thrust what he called...

On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order designating Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Three weeks later, Qatar—considered the world hub for the Muslim Brotherhood—hosted two major international conferences. The 23rd Doha Forum drew 6,000 participants, including Bill Gates, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Jr., Hillary Clinton, and Tom Barrack. One week later, the United Nations’ Eleventh Conference on Corruption (CoSP11) brought representatives worldwide to discuss transparency and ethical governance in Doha.[…]The paradox reveals the success of Doha’s da’wa—the Muslim Brotherhood’s nearly century-old methodology for power. Originally an Arabic term meaning “invitation” or “call,” referring...

U.S. podcaster Tucker Carlson announced that he plans to buy a home in the Qatari capital of Doha during an interview with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani yesterday (Sunday). Carlson stated that the purchase is being made in response to accusations that he has been paid off by the Qatari government for his recent praise of Qatar, defense of Sharia law and Islamist terrorist organizations, and hatred for the State of Israel. “I’ve never taken anything from your country and don’t plan to,” Carlson said. “I’m an American and a free man, and I’ll...

Hamas intends to maintain security control in Gaza during an interim period, a senior Hamas official told Reuters, adding he could not commit to the group disarming - positions that reflect the difficulties facing US plans to secure an end to the war. Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal also said the group was ready for a ceasefire of up to five years to rebuild devastated Gaza, with guarantees for what happens afterwards depending on Palestinians being given "horizons and hope" for statehood. Speaking to Reuters in an interview from Doha, where Hamas politicians have long resided, Nazzal defended the group's...

When Israeli jets struck Hamas targets in Doha on September 9, 2025, the explosions reverberated far beyond the Qatari capital. The attack, aimed at senior Hamas leaders residing in Qatar, marked the first known Israeli strike on Gulf soil. It also highlighted a deeper transformation in Middle Eastern politics: the emerging alignment between Israel and Gulf monarchies against the Muslim Brotherhood — and the controversies surrounding Qatar’s influence that some call “Qatargate.” On that September night, Israeli F-15s and F-35s launched missiles over the Red Sea, arching through Saudi skies before slamming into Doha’s upscale neighborhoods. The targets: Hamas leaders...

He tried to warn them. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump unveiled a new ceasefire proposal before sending a message to Hamas: "The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well," he said. "I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter." Hamas apparently didn't pay attention to the matter. One of its senior terrorists, Bassem Naim, released a statement on Monday calling Trump's proposal a "humiliating surrender document" and saying Hamas's "right" to...

The couple's once in a lifetime holiday was overshadowed when a woman died mid flight and was placed in the seat next to them. An emotional Australian couple have been left "traumatised" after they were forced to sit next to a dead woman for hours after she died suddenly mid-flight. Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin were on a Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha, en route to Venice in Italy, when a woman suddenly collapsed in the aisle after going to the toilet.

Former President Barack Obama didn’t listen to Pentagon officials when they told him Taliban mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Instead, he freed the group that came to be known as the ‘Gitmo five’ — Khairkhwa alongside four of his buddies — from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 in exchange for a U.S. soldier who deserted his post. Obama all but guaranteed that Khairkhwa and the four other men would be sent to Qatar, where their movements would be restricted and where they could do no harm. As it turns out, the Taliban isn’t as trustworthy as...

Hostage negotiations in Doha won’t end on Thursday and will likely continue into Friday, US National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby told reporters in a virtual meeting. “Given the complexity of the agreement, I do not anticipate coming out of these talks today with a deal,” Kirby said. “In fact, I'd expect the talks to continue into tomorrow. This is vital work. The remaining obstacles can be overcome, and we must bring this process to a close,” he said.

Hamas announced on Sunday that it refuses to send representatives to the next round of negotiations which are expected to begin on August 15th. The discussions were set to begin on Thursday seemingly in Doha, Qatar. According to Hamas, "We call on the mediators to present a plan to implement what we agreed to on July 2nd, instead of holding new negotiations." The organization further stated: "Additional rounds of talks or new offers will only provide cover for the occupation's aggression and will give it time to win the war of destruction." .....
