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.
The fragile Gaza ceasefire is mostly holding even as Israeli violations kill more than a dozen people and Israel returns 195 Palestinian bodies, many showing signs of torture. The exchange of captives remains slow amid massive destruction; new reporting details Hamas confronting Israeli-backed gangs that have looted aid, and questions what statistics can’t capture about the dead. In the U.S., more Democrats are rejecting AIPAC money, and Portland officials are moving to investigate city ties to Israeli weapons.
Gaza ceasefire claims collide with fresh airstrikes, armed gang crackdowns, and a media establishment doubling down on Zionist narratives.
Gaza’s ceasefire offers real relief, but not necessarily peace. With a rumored “secret clause” and a bait-and-escalate pattern, the truce is fragile; only binding terms can stop a return to mass killing.
Israel detained more than 40 boats in international waters; protests and government denunciations followed.
