Israel’s “administrative” measures in Gaza and the West Bank are making life unlivable, as the U.S. stages regime change in Venezuela and ramps up domestic repression.

In New York, Zohran Mamdani breaks with the old pro-Israel playbook, Israel tightens the vise on Gaza, and Trump invades Venezuela.

Gaza dispatches from Tareq Hajjaj, Noor Alyacoubi, and Malak Hijazi document death under the rubble, mutual aid reconstruction, and destroyed agriculture—while U.S. stories track doxxing campaigns and new legislation targeting Palestine speech.

Israel continues assassinations in Gaza, renews a West Bank campaign to entrench a new “security reality.” In the U.S., Zohran Mamdani faces early tests as Palestine organizers push for accountability, activists notch divestment wins targeting Israel Bonds, and the New York Times’ Jeffrey Epstein exposé ignores Israel.

This week: Israel moves to lock Gaza’s devastation into a new border, West Bank land grabs near Beit Sahour, U.S. works to counter arms embargoes, the Israel lobby’s free-travel pipeline to Congress, YouTube censorship, Oakland’s people’s arms embargo, and a UK hunger strike.

This week, Israel is tightening the siege on Gaza under the guise of “stabilization,” the meltdown of the Israel lobby, and grassroots campaigns like the fight to free Mohammed Ibrahim.

As far-right billionaires consolidate media power and the UN backs Trump’s colonial plan for Gaza, Mondoweiss and our partners in the Movement Media Alliance are documenting genocide, exposing U.S. and Israeli policy, and amplifying movements for justice.

This week, we look at what the Gaza “ceasefire” really means on the ground, how Israel is turning Gaza into a militarized partition zone, the ethnic cleansing of Jenin, and why the Israel lobby is losing its shine in Washington as more candidates see Israel as a political risk, not an asset.

A new coalition rises as Mamdani wins without compromising on Palestine. Plus, UN resistance to Trump’s Gaza blueprint, Gaza’s Yellow Line, and a call to boycott the New York Times.

Resistance to Trump is growing as Mamdani rises in New York and solidarity with Palestine enters the mainstream, reshaping U.S. politics and public opinion.
