"Hegemony is not defined by rivers or conventional borders - it's dominance, it's influence. So we get to decide in our hearts, are we in Iraq to help restore something, or are we there to establish dominance? How can you torture people and say, well, that's just a few bad apples in our culture?"

News and Opinion

Israel’s annexation of the West Bank is almost complete

While the European states have announced they may recognise a Palestinian state in a cynical effort to placate mounting popular revulsion over the Gaza genocide, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fascist government has already ensured the impossibility of establishing such a state. After nearly two years of war, Gaza lies in ruins, its people are starving, and Israel is preparing for invasion and annexation. Less well reported is that annexation of the West Bank, illegally occupied along with East Jerusalem, Gaza and Syria’s Golan Heights since the 1967 Arab Israeli war, is almost complete.

Netanyahu and his Likud party, the political descendant of Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Party that had insisted on the Jewish right to sovereignty over the whole of the “Land of Israel”, including Mandatory Palestine and Transjordan (now Jordan), opposed the 1993 Oslo Accords that was supposed to usher in a bifurcated Palestinian state alongside Israel. Committed to a “Greater Israel” policy, he and his co-thinkers supported Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and the expansion of Zionist settlements. In October 1995, he addressed right-wing rallies baying for the blood of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, one of the signatories to the Accords. Weeks later, Rabin was assassinated. During his first premiership 1996-99, Netanyahu stymied negotiations begun by the previous government and delayed or refused to implement provisions of signed agreements.

Netanyahu, prime minister for almost all of the period since 2009, did everything he could to sabotage any possibility of a Palestinian statelet, including exacerbating tensions between President Mahmoud Abbas’s PA based in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. He told Israeli journalist Dan Margalit in 2012 that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as it served as a counterweight to the PA. ... The Jerusalem Post quoted Netanyahu as saying in 2019, “Whoever is against a Palestinian state should be for transferring the funds to Gaza, because maintaining a separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza helps prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.” ...

Since returning to power in December 2022 with the help of the ultra-nationalist Religious Zionist Party and theocratic Jewish Power, after an 18-month period in opposition, Netanyahu has all but completed the process of annexing the West Bank. ... The government seized the opportunity presented by the Palestinians’ October 7, 2023 attack, the result of multiple provocations by Israel, to wage all-out war on the Palestinians in the name of Israel’s “existential” crisis and “national security”. ... Ben-Gvir armed vigilante groups and the violent settler gangs became, de facto, another arm of the state, carrying out daily attacks on the Palestinians to drive them off their land, with the full protection if not active support of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). ...

Smotrich has initiated a raft of new regulations and submitted legislation for the Knesset to approve. These include: the reclassification of any unregistered land in the West Bank as belonging to the Israeli state, enabling Israel to claim vast tracts of Palestinian land while voiding Palestinian registration; the application of Israeli civil law to the West Bank, effectively dissolving Israel’s internationally recognised borders; direct purchase of land by settlers from Palestinians without military approval; expansion of the city of Jerusalem’s boundary to include the surrounding settlements within Israel; and the official designation of the West Bank as Judea and Samaria. In practice, the West Bank is under full Israeli control. It has been annexed in all but name.

Israeli cabinet meeting postponed as tensions rise over Netanyahu’s occupation plan

An Israeli security cabinet meeting, which had been expected to discuss Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for the “full occupation” of Gaza, has been postponed amid mounting tensions over whether the plan is feasible. Amid a stalling of ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, Israeli officials had briefed local and international media that the prime minister was considering an expansive offensive, aimed at taking full control of the Palestinian territory after 22 months of war against the militant group Hamas.

However, senior Israeli military officers and former senior commanders warned the plan would endanger the lives of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas, risk further international isolation of Israel and require Israeli soldiers to administer a population in which Hamas fighters were still present. Any move towards full occupation is likely to be strongly resisted by large parts of the international community, already horrified by the conduct of Israel’s military campaign.

On Tuesday, Trump declined to say whether he supported or opposed a potential military takeover of Gaza by Israel and said his administration’s focus was on increasing food access to the Palestinian territory. “I know that we are there now trying to get people fed,” Trump told reporters. “As far as the rest of it, I really can’t say. That’s going to be pretty much up to Israel.”

‘Healthocide’: experts warn of rise in targeting of health services in conflict

Targeting medics and hospitals in acts of war should be called “healthocide”, academics have urged, amid an increase in such attacks in recent years. ... In a commentary published in the British Medical Journal, Dr Joelle Abi-Rached and colleagues of the American University of Beirut, Lebanon wrote: “Both in Gaza and Lebanon, healthcare facilities have not only been directly targeted, but access to care has also been obstructed, including incidents where ambulances have been prevented from reaching the injured, or deliberately attacked.

“What is becoming clear is that healthcare workers and facilities are no longer afforded the protection guaranteed by international humanitarian law.” The authors cite data from Israel’s full-scale invasion of Gaza, which has resulted in at least 986 medical workers’ deaths. Recent figures from the Healthcare Workers Watch show that 28 doctors from Gaza are being held inside Israeli prisons without any charge, eight them senior consultants in surgery, orthopaedics, intensive care, cardiology and paediatrics.

The World Health Organization’s representative for the West Bank and Gaza stated at the UN security council in January that hospitals in Gaza had “turned into battlegrounds”, while the healthcare system was being “systematically dismantled and driven to the brink of collapse”.

Healthcare workers in Gaza who were among the hundreds detained by the Israeli military who spoke to the Guardian for the Doctors in Detention project in early 2025 believed they were targeted because they were doctors. They shared harrowing testimonies of torture, beatings, starvation and humiliation, including being constantly beaten and kept in stress positions for hours at a time, and having loud music played nonstop to prevent them from sleeping. They were also denied food, water, showers and changes of clothes.

Lebanon’s ministry of public health has found that between 8 October 2023 and 27 January 2025, 217 healthcare workers were killed by the Israel Defense Forces, 177 ambulances were damaged, and 68 attacks on hospitals were recorded.

Norway Orders $2 Trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund to Review Investments in Israeli Firms

The Norwegian government may seek to divest its state investment fund from Israeli companies participating in the illegal occupation of the West Bank or the genocide in Gaza.

Norway's Government Pension Fund Global is worth $2 trillion and is considered the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world.

On Tuesday, following the latest reports on the "worsened situation" in Gaza—which includes mass starvation as a result of Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid—Norway's finance minister, Jens Stoltenberg, ordered the fund's ethics council to review the fund's investments in Israeli companies.

The fund came under renewed scrutiny from activists and trade unions this week after the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reported on the fund's investments in the Israeli company Bet Shemesh Engines Holdings, which maintains the engines of fighter jets and attack helicopters that have been used to carry out devastating attacks on Gaza.

Although Norway's center-left government had determined in November 2023 that Israel's warfare in the Gaza Strip was violating international law, it only continued to increase its shares in Bet Shemesh throughout 2024, resulting in more than $15 million invested—a 2.1% stake—in the company.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said he was "very concerned" by the report and ordered Stoltenberg to contact the country's central bank to investigate.

"The war in Gaza is contrary to international law and is causing terrible suffering, so it is understandable that questions are being raised about the fund's investments in Bet Shemesh Engines," Stoltenberg said.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund has been described by Amnesty International as "an international leader in the environmental, social, and governance investment field."

Its ethics policy has strict guidelines against investing in companies that cause "serious violations of fundamental ethical norms," including "systematic human rights violations" and "violations of the rights of individuals in situations of war or conflict."

Following these guidelines, it has divested from some companies involved in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine.

In 2009, it dropped Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, due to its supplying of surveillance technology used to patrol the separation wall—commonly called the "apartheid wall"—fencing off the West Bank from Israel-proper.

And in 2024, following the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion that Israel was committing the crime of apartheid, it also cut off Bezeq, Israel's largest telecommunications company, which supplies telecommunications equipment to illegal West Bank settlements. It later did the same for the Israeli energy company Paz Retail and Energy Ltd.

However, as Amnesty described in May, the fund remains "invested in several companies listed in the U.N. database of businesses involved in the unlawful occupation of Palestine."

Last month, a report by Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, revealed that Norway's sovereign wealth fund had increased its investments in Israeli companies by 32% since October 2023.

Albanese found that 6.9% of its pension fund's total value was directed towards companies "involved in supporting or enabling egregious violations of international law in the occupied Palestinian territory."

In a letter to the Norwegian government sent in April, she listed dozens of investments: including Caterpillar, whose bulldozers have been used to destroy houses in the West Bank and attack Palestinians in Gaza; several Israeli banks that fund illegal settlements; and other military and technology firms like Hewlett-Packard and Motorola, whose technologies have been used for the purposes of surveillance and torture.

"I found Norwegian politicians, trade unions, media, and civil society to be generally more educated, aware, and principled about Palestine-Israel than many of their peers in Europe," Albanese wrote on X earlier this year. "That is why I can't believe the Norwegian Oil Fund and Pension Fund is still so involved in Israel's unlawful occupation. This must end, totally and unconditionally, like Israel's occupation itself—no more excuses."

Israeli Forces Kill 79 Palestinians in Gaza Over 24 Hours

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday that Israeli forces killed at least 79 Palestinians and wounded 644 over the previous 24-hour period as relentless US-backed Israeli attacks continue amid reports that Israel is planning a major escalation of the genocidal war.

The Health Ministry said another eight bodies of Palestinians killed in previous Israeli attacks were recovered. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, where ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them at this time,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.

The majority of the dead, 52, were killed by the IDF while attempting to reach food aid, and another 352 aid seekers were injured. The Health Ministry said that since the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began operating, at least 1,568 aid seekers have been killed and 11,230 have been wounded.

US steps up efforts to help Bolsonaro avoid jail over alleged coup plot

The US has intensified its campaign to help Jair Bolsonaro avoid punishment for allegedly masterminding a failed coup, with the state department denouncing the decision to place Brazil’s former president under house arrest. ...

The Trump administration has thrown its weight behind efforts to help Bolsonaro avoid a lengthy jail sentence for allegedly plotting to seize power after he lost the 2022 election to his leftwing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Federal police claim the conspiracy included plans to assassinate Lula, his vice-president, Geraldo Alckmin, and Moraes. The plot allegedly culminated on 8 January 2023, a week after Lula took power, when thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace in what police claim was an unsuccessful attempt to start a military intervention.

But Trump has claimed his ally – who is currently being tried by the supreme court – is the victim of a politically motivated “witch-hunt” and last week slapped Magnitsky sanctions on Moraes. The US president has also announced 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports from Wednesday. “This trial should not be taking place!” Trump wrote in a letter to Lula earlier this month calling Bolsonaro’s treatment “an international disgrace”.

After Bolsonaro’s house arrest on Monday, the state department hinted that other members of Brazil’s 11-seat supreme court could soon face Magnitsky sanctions, which are normally used to punish the perpetrators of major human rights violations. “The United States condemns Moraes’ order imposing house arrest on Bolsonaro and will hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct,” it said.

Trump’s attempt to interfere in Brazil’s justice system has outraged progressive Brazilians, who decry what they see as a flagrant violation of their country’s sovereignty. But the US president’s actions have exhilarated Bolsonaro’s sizeable support base, with Bolsonaristas hoping Trump’s intervention will help put pressure on congress to approve an amnesty that will ensure their leader avoids prosecution. Bolsonaro, 70, is widely expected to be found guilty when the coup trial concludes in the coming weeks and faces spending the rest of his life in jail. He has repeatedly denied the charges but has admitted seeking “alternative” forms of remaining in power after losing the election.

Trump administration to reinstall Confederate statue toppled in Black Lives Matter protests

A statue of a general in the Confederate army that was toppled and set on fire during social justice protests in 2020 in Washington DC will be reinstated, the National Park Service (NPS) has announced.

The bronze statue depicting Albert Pike is being restored, the Park Service said in a statement on Monday, sharing a photo of the statue undergoing cleaning to remove corrosion and paint prior to repairs, with a view to reinstalling it by October.

“The restoration aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation’s capital and re-instate pre-existing statues,” a statement from the agency said, including an executive order issued by Donald Trump in March calling for “restoring truth and sanity to American history”.

The restoration is just the latest action undertaken by the NPS, faced with unprecedented staff cuts and threats to some $1bn of its federal funding under the Trump administration, that falls in line with the president’s agenda to sanitize and rewrite the country’s history.

The one thing Donald Trump isn’t saying about tariffs

The president has an awful lot to say about tariffs. They will, he argues, raise “trillions” of dollars for the US federal government; eliminate trade deficits with other countries; and even punish Brazil for putting his ally the former president Jair Bolsonaro on trial for allegedly seeking to seize power after losing the 2022 presidential election. The list goes on.

But what about what the president doesn’t say?

Trump was re-elected last November after repeatedly pledging to rapidly bring down prices for Americans. This assurance formed a central pillar of his election campaign – a regular refrain in rallies, interviews and debates – as millions found it harder to make ends meet after years of inflation. Every policy comes at a cost. Every tax must be paid by someone, somewhere. For consumers, the Budget Lab at Yale estimates the short-term price impact of Trump’s tariff changes is equivalent to an average per household income loss of $2,400.

What Trump doesn’t really talk about the impact of his aggressive tariff agenda on US is prices. One of the few times he has acknowledged it might actually exacerbate inflation led to a bizarre tangent about dolls back in May. ...

The biggest indication yet that the US economy is creaking on Trump’s watch came on Friday, when official data revealed that the labor market had stalled this summer. He unceremoniously fired the veteran official in charge of the statistics – and alleged, without evidence, that the numbers had been rigged.

US Colleges Could Lose Up to 150K International Students This Year Amid Trump Crackdown

The number of international students enrolling at U.S. colleges looks set to plummet this fall, according scenario modeling by an organization that advocates on behalf of academic exchange worldwide.

Insider Higher Ed reported on Tuesday that new data from the group, NAFSA: Association of International Educators, has found that American colleges could lose up to 150,000 international students in the coming academic year, which would represent a decline of up to 40% in foreign enrollment. In fact, the projected drop in international students is so large that it could lead to a drop in overall enrollment of 15%.

NAFSA cited multiple factors leading to the projected decline in international students: a three-week period between late May and the middle of June where student visa interviews were suspended all together; limited appointments available for students in countries such as India, China, Nigeria, and Japan; and new visa restrictions on 19 different countries stemming from an executive order U.S. President Donald Trump signed in early June.

NAFSA projected that the consequences of losing 150,000 international students this fall would be grim not just for universities but also the American economy as a whole. In all, the association found that a drop in students of that magnitude "would deprive local economies of $7 billion in spending and more than 60,000 jobs."

Fanta Aw, the executive director of NAFSA, emphasized that the United States would suffer even greater long-term damage from its policies discouraging the enrollment of international students.

"The immediate economic losses projected here are just the tip of the iceberg," Aw explained. "International students drive innovation, advance America's global competitiveness, and create research and academic opportunities in our local colleges that will benefit our country for generations. For the United States to succeed in the global economy, we must keep our doors open to students from around the world."

Trump and his administration have been going to war with the American higher education system by withholding federal research funding from universities unless they agree to a list of demands such as eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and reviewing their policies for accepting international students.

The administration has also cracked down on international students who are already in the U.S. and has detained them and threatened them with deportation for a wide range of purported offenses such as writing student newspaper editorials critical of the Israeli government, entering the country with undeclared frog embryos, and having a single decade-old marijuana possession charge.

US House panel subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton for Epstein testimony

The House oversight committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as several former attorneys general and directors of the FBI, demanding “testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein”. The investigative committee’s Republican chair, James Comer, sent the subpoenas in response to two motions lawmakers approved on a bipartisan basis last month, as Congress navigated outrage among Donald Trump’s supporters over the justice department’s announcement that it would not release further details about Epstein, a disgraced financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.. ...

Shortly before House lawmakers left Washington DC for Congress’s August recess, the Republican congressman Scott Perry won an oversight subcommittee’s approval to compel depositions from the Clintons and the former top federal law enforcement officials in a bid to reveal more about Epstein’s activities. Democratic congresswoman Summer Lee also successfully pushed a motion to subpoena justice department files related to the case.

In addition to the Clintons, the committee sent subpoenas to former attorneys general Jeff Sessions, Alberto Gonzales and William Barr, who served in George W Bush and Trump’s presidencies, and Merrick Garland, Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder, who served under Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller also received subpoenas.

In the letter to Bill Clinton, Comer noted that the former president had flown four times on Epstein’s private jet, and repeated an allegation that he had “pressured” Vanity Fair not to publish sex trafficking claims regarding Epstein. The chair further says that Clinton was “allegedly close” with Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted on sex trafficking charges related to Epstein. “Given your past relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, the Committee believes that you have information regarding their activities that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation,” Comer wrote. ...

Comer set Bill Clinton’s deposition date as 14 October and Hillary’s as 9 October. Others who received subpoenas were given dates ranging from mid-August through early October, while US attorney general Pam Bondi has until 19 August to release documents related to the case.

First-of-a-kind US class-action lawsuit would force EPA to reinstate $3bn climate program

The Trump administration’s decision to abruptly terminate a $3bn program helping hundreds of communities prepare for climate disasters and environmental hazards is unconstitutional and should be overturned, a court will hear on Tuesday. A coalition of non-profits, tribes and local governments is suing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the agency’s administrator, Lee Zeldin, for terminating the entire Environmental and Climate Justice (ECJ) block grant program – despite a legally binding mandate from Congress to fund the Biden-era initiative.

It’s a first-of-a-kind proposed class-action lawsuit that would force the EPA and Zeldin to reinstate the program and each individual grant, rather than forcing the recipients to sue individually.

The $3bn ECJ program was created by Congress through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – a longstanding source for ire for Trump and his polluting industry allies – to help historically disadvantaged communities come up with local solutions to improve resilience in the face of worsening climate shocks and environmental degradation.

It was intended by Congress to fund community-based projects across the country to tackle longstanding and pressing environmental harms that cause death and ill health from hazards including industrial pollution, lead pipes, flooding and urban heat islands. Almost 350 rural and urban groups, towns and tribes were selected by the EPA from 2,700 applicants, through a rigorous process that included long-term accountability and oversight over the funds.

In February, Zeldin’s EPA, under the direction of the Trump administration, began terminating the entire ECJ program, as part of a broader assault on climate science, climate action and environmental justice measures.

California wildfire scorches 83,000 acres and threatens hundreds of structures

A huge wildfire tearing through California’s Los Padres national forest is threatening hundreds of homes and structures, after injuring at least three people in the days before.

The Gifford fire has already scorched nearly 84,000 acres (34,000 hectares) in coastal Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, north of Los Angeles, and was still burning out of control on Tuesday evening, according to fire officials. It is 9% contained.

It is now the largest fire in California this year so far, overtaking the Madre fire, which burned 80,779 acres last month, also in San Luis Obispo county.

Canada wildfires: 81 million Americans under air quality alerts as blazes rage

Hundreds of wildfires continued to burn across Canada and parts of the US on Tuesday sending smoke from the blazes across the region and reducing air quality in both countries.

US air quality tanked from the Great Lakes region to the north-east, making skies hazy from Minneapolis to New York City and even prompting a ground stop at Boston’s Logan international airport due to “low visibility” on Monday. Detroit, New York City and Chicago continued to record some of the worst air quality in the world on Tuesday, according to IQAir, ranking fourth, 10th and 11th respectively.

In Canada, Montreal and Toronto had seen significant improvements by Tuesday and no longer ranked in the top 20 for unhealthy air.

About 81 million Americans remain under air quality alerts in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Delaware and Maine, according to the National Weather Service. It is expected to improve for most areas by Wednesday. A high-pressure system parked over the midwest is trapping the smoke in place, causing air quality issues to linger for several days, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

There are 747 active wildfires currently burning across Canada, with 507 – over two-thirds – of them out-of-control, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC), a non-profit organization that is owned by government agencies, including 165 in Manitoba, 134 in British Columbia, and 111 in Northwest Territories.

Judge Rules Rocky Mountain Wolves Wrongly Denied Endangered Species Protections

Conservationists cautiously celebrated a U.S. judge's Tuesday ruling that the federal government must reconsider its refusal to grant protections for gray wolves in the Rocky Mountains, as killing regimes in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming put the species at risk.

Former President Joe Biden's administration determined last year that Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for the region's wolves were "not warranted," sparking multiple lawsuits from coalitions of conservation groups. The cases were consolidated and considered by Montana-based District Judge Donald Molloy, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton.

As the judge detailed in his 105-page decision, the advocacy groups argued that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) failed to consider a "significant portion" of the gray wolf's range, the "best available science" on their populations and the impact of humans killing them, and the true threat to the species. He also wrote that "for the most part, the plaintiffs are correct."

Matthew Bishop, senior attorney at the Western Environmental Law Center (WELC), which represented one of the coalitions, said in a statement that "the Endangered Species Act requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to consider the best available science, and that requirement is what won the day for wolves in this case."

"Wolves have yet to recover across the West, and allowing a few states to undertake aggressive wolf-killing regimes is inconsistent with the law," Bishop continued. "We hope this decision will encourage the service to undertake a holistic approach to wolf recovery in the West."
