NATO’s leaders left the Ankara summit with guns and live ammunition gifted to them by Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
But not everybody could take their present home.
Rutte's silence is deafening.
Donald Trump says Spain are “bad people” and no-one should visit them or trade with them.

Ok get this, the pilots who drop two ton bombs on residential buildings killing scores of children, women and men in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran earned tens of thousands of dollars from betting on the war. How sick can these pilots get?

The Baltic states say Russia is testing NATO by flying jets and drones into their airspace. But how should NATO respond? Shooting down rogue aircraft is one answer - but that could have dire consequences.

Look what's in close proximity to Israel's illegal attack on Doha, at least 2 nurseries, 3 schools, 6 embassies, a petrol station, a public park. This all happened in the middle of the afternoon, when schools are ending and children engaging in extra curricular activities

Did anyone tell you sir that “ targeted strikes against nuclear facilities” are prohibited under article 56 of the additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions to which Germany is a party, and that the use of force in international relations is generally prohibited in article 2(4) of the @UN Charter with the exception of the right of self defense in the case of armed attack or upon authorization by the Security Council in the case of collective security action.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the basic tenets of international law…

#Iran
The situation in the Middle East has escalated dramatically overnight. Israel has carried out targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran is responding with hundreds of drone attacks on Israel. This development is more than alarming. @AussenMinDE 1/3

Every week, the number of protesters in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa carrying pictures of Gaza children murdered by Israel grows.
They congregated in their hundreds. Now they congregate in their thousands.

My interview with Muhammad Yunus on Al Jazeera
Following mass protests and the toppling of a Bangladeshi leader, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus steps in to guide the nation in crisis.
Can he deliver real reform or is it just a reshuffling of elites?

🚨 BREAKING
Police have raided a Quaker meeting house and arrested six young people meeting to discuss concerns about the climate crisis and the Gaza genocide.
On 27 March, more than 20 officers - some carrying tasers - reportedly forced their way into Westminster Meeting House in central London.
According to Quakers in Britain, the officers “broke open the front door without warning or ringing the bell first, searching the whole building and arresting six women attending the meeting in a hired room”.
Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.”
“This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when society criminalises protest.”

Last night, settlers, backed, escorted, and with full cooperation with the Israeli army, attacked Palestinian communities in the West Bank.
In Sabastiya, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by soldiers. In Sinjil, six Palestinians were injured by Molotov cocktails, and in numerous intersections, settlers rioted and threw stones at Palestinian vehicles.
While the deal progresses, the settlers' rioters are clear: to impose a "price tag" for the release of Palestinians from Israeli prisons
