The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”. What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure. In what world is that left wing?

These four Ukrainian Warriors from the 65th Mechanized Brigade spent 320 days defending a frontline position in the Orikhiv sector of Zaporizhzhia region. Now, they've finally made it back from the front line. To reach the evacuation point, the Defenders covered about 18 km on foot over three days, through rain and fog, under the constant threat of Russian drones. They were then transported by armored vehicle to a location where their brothers-in-arms and medics were waiting. The group was led by Ukrainian Defender Vitalii, call sign "Cheburashka." All four made it out alive. Previous rotation attempts had been thwarted by Russian drones and artillery. According to the brigade, one replacement group was killed before reaching the position, while others were wounded and had to turn back. 📹: 65th Mechanized Brigade

The only redeeming feature here is that we have this on video so everyone can see this for what it is.
Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin, the man who unleashed the biggest war in Europe since 1945: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being the humanitarian. You are, you are humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you”.

A man who kills civilians, every day, is a "humanitarian" ? Who kidnaps children? Who authorizes soldiers to use torture and rape?
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff just told Putin he is a humanitarian. This is completely fucking insane.

What. The. Actual. Fuck… Praising Vladimir Putin as a humanitarian? What world are you living in? It’s obscene
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Renewed fighting in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region has raised fears of a wider regional conflict. In Adigrat, a city close to the Eritrean border, residents recall recent drone strikes by Ethiopian forces against Eritrean troops.
