"We have received a large amount of contact in relation to these events from people across the world and recognise the strength of public feeling," it added. "There is absolutely no place in society for hate."
Lmfao. What a fucking joke, a complete waste of everyone's time and resources.
I guess the complaints "from people across the world" = America/Trump Admin + Israel/IDF.

The latest speculations are that Iran unveiled new maneuverable missiles that can avoid being intercepted, 'dance' missiles. Hence Netanyahu begging the US to come in and help. Iran says it has ‘serious doubts’ over Israel’s commitment to ceasefire – as it happened; Iran’s armed forces chief of staff says it is ‘ready to respond with force’ if attacked again |
Nah, it's even before that. I'm 45. Netanyahu has been saying Iran is close to a bomb since I was 12. That's 1992 LOL
Israeli cabinet to meet again as Netanyahu predicts ‘dramatic’ week
The Israeli Security Cabinet couldn’t agree on what to do next in Gaza. The meeting on Sunday evening happened after Donald Trump called for Israel to adopt the ceasefire to get the Israeli captives out.
But he also, in the same post, lobbied for the corruption charges against the Israeli prime minister to be dropped. He called him a “war hero” and said these charges are political – that they shouldn’t continue.
That is seen by many observers as a way to reward Netanyahu for what comes next, a preemptive move, if you will, from the American president. There’s a lot of speculation about where that will take Israel and the judicial process against him.
But for now, Netanyahu gained one week of no hearings because he told the courts in a closed session that the coming week will be “dramatic” for Israel – politically and on the front of national security.
A follow-up meeting of the Security Cabinet is scheduled to convene on Monday, and no doubt the issue of ending the war on Gaza – at least reaching a temporary ceasefire – will top the agenda.
‘Unprecedented’: Trump intervention into Israel’s legal system
Gideon Levy, an Israeli author and Haaretz columnist, has expressed dismay at the “unbelievable” intervention of US President Trump in the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
“He really recruited himself, or Netanyahu recruited him, to help make the court cancel [the charges]. This is really unprecedented and there’s no other explanation other than to be astonished,” Levy told Al Jazeera.
“That the president of the United States dares to interfere in the legal procedure in another country – this we never saw before.”
At the weekend, Trump launched a scathing attack on Israeli prosecutors over Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial, calling it “insanity” and linking Washington’s financial support to the proceedings. “The United States of America spends billions of dollars a year… protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this,” he wrote on social media.

A Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman has addressed the media, detailing efforts to halt Israel’s war on Gaza and keep the ceasefire with Iran intact. Here are the main news lines:

Golan to ‘remain part of’ Israel in any Syria peace deal
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says the occupied Golan Heights “will remain part of” Israel under any potential peace deal with Syria.
The territory was seized by Israel from Syria in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the UN.
“In any peace agreement, the Golan will remain part of the State of Israel,” Saar told a news conference in West Jerusalem.
Israel is interested in establishing official diplomatic ties with Syria and Lebanon, he added.
Norway’s largest pension fund divests from companies selling arms to Israel
Norway’s largest pension fund, KLP, says it will no longer do business with two companies – Oshkosh Corporation and ThyssenKrupp – that sell equipment to the Israeli military because the hardware is possibly being used in the war on Gaza.
Oshkosh, a US-based company, is focused on trucks and military vehicles, and German industrial firm ThyssenKrupp makes a broad range of products – from lifts and industrial machinery to warships.
“In June 2024, KLP learned of reports from the UN that several named companies were supplying weapons or equipment to the [Israeli army] and that these weapons are being used in Gaza,” Kiran Aziz, the head of responsible investments at KLP Kapitalforvaltning, told Al Jazeera.
Australian injured at pro-Palestine protest could lose sight in one eye
A former political candidate from the Australian Greens says she may permanently lose vision in her right eye after her “interactions with police” at a peaceful pro-Palestine protest in Sydney last week.
Hannah Thomas, who ran against Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in his electorate at the recent federal election, recorded a video from hospital before undergoing surgery, saying that the “draconian anti-protest laws” in Australia “demonise protesters, especially protesters for Palestine”.
“They’ve emboldened the police to crack down with extreme violence and brutality,” Thomas said.
Thomas added that what she experienced “is obviously nothing compared to what people in Gaza are going through because of Israel”, including children “going through amputations without anaesthetic”.
In a separate statement, Greens state representative Sue Higginson called for an independent investigation into the incident.
Protesters have accused the Labor government of allowing weapons parts for Israel to be made in Australia.
Thomas was protesting outside SEC Plating, which protesters claim is making components for F-35 fighter jets and other weapons. SEC Plating has denied the allegation, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
UK court rejects bid to halt transfer of F-35 parts to Israel
A London court has ruled the UK government’s decision to allow the export of F-35 fighter jet components to Israel during its war on Gaza is lawful.
The human rights group Al-Haq argued at a hearing last month that the decision was unlawful because it was in breach of Britain’s obligations under international law, including the Geneva Conventions.
Israel has used the jets to devastating effect in its bombardment of Gaza with tens of thousands of mostly Palestinian civilians killed.
In its claim to the High Court, rights group Al-Haq – supported by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam and other groups in its case – is seeking a court order to stop the supply of UK-made parts for the US warplanes.
Lawyers for Al-Haq said the government had known there was a “clear risk” Israel would use the jet parts to commit violations of international law in its war on Gaza.
But the High Court dismissed the group’s challenge in a written ruling.
The United Kingdom contributes components to an international defence programme that produces and maintains the F-35s. Defence Secretary John Healey said a suspension would impact the “whole F-35 programme” and have a “profound impact on international peace and security”.
UK justice system can go to the ICC as well. Defending war crimes, aiding genocide.
Judges rule that decision for UK to provide Israel fighter jet parts ‘not for the courts’
In a 72-page ruling, judges said the case was about a “much more focused issue” than supplying Israel military hardware in its deadly 20-month attack.
“That issue is whether it is open to the court to rule that the UK must withdraw from a specific multilateral defence collaboration, which is reasonably regarded by the responsible ministers as vital to the defence of the UK and to international peace and security, because of the prospect that some UK manufactured components will or may ultimately be supplied to Israel, and may be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law in the conflict in Gaza,” the ruling said.
“Under our constitution that acutely sensitive and political issue is a matter for the executive, which is democratically accountable to Parliament and ultimately to the electorate, not for the courts.”
UK court’s verdict on F-35 parts: ‘Today is not the end’
Speaking outside the Royal Courts of Justice, Yasmine Ahmed, UK director of Human Rights Watch, said the judgement stood “behind the justification of national security”.
“The court today has invited parliament to now hold the executive to account, to ask questions and to ensure that the government is complying with their international obligations,” Ahmed said.
“Today is not the end. Today is the beginning of the fight we will all continue for the rights of the Palestinian people.”
UK moves to ban Palestine Action under ‘antiterrorism’ laws
The UK government is moving to ban the protest group Palestine Action by branding it a “terrorist” organisation.
The ban still needs parliamentary approval, but if the bid moves forward, it would be the first time in Britain a direct-action protest group has been proscribed under “antiterrorism” laws.
The new definition of terrorism is: Making the establishment feel uncomfortable for being called out in aiding genocide.
Hearing granted for Palestine Action’s UK ‘terrorism’ legal battle
The UK’s High Court has scheduled an urgent hearing for the pro-Palestine group’s legal challenge against a decision by the British government to put it on a “terrorist” organisation list.
According to a news release from the group, Justice Martin Chamberlain granted the application and set the hearing for Friday morning.
“The court’s decision to grant an urgent hearing this week is indicative of the vital importance of what is at stake in this case, including the far-reaching implications any proscription of Palestine Action would have on fundamental freedoms of speech, expression and assembly in Britain,” co-founder Huda Ammori said.
The move by the Labour-led government came after activists from the group broke into an air force base in central England this month and claimed to have damaged two aircraft to protest against the government’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
“This is the first attempt in British history to criminalise direct action, political protest, as terrorism. … This would set an extremely dangerous precedent with repressive impacts right across the Palestine movement,” Ammori added.
High-profile UK figures denounce attempt to ban Palestine Action
The Labour-led UK government’s proposed ban on solidarity group Palestine Action has been condemned by critics who have called the move an “attack on democracy”.
An open letter was signed by 37 well-known figures, including actors Tilda Swinton and Steve Coogan, writers Pankaj Mishra and Kamila Shamsie, as well as poet Alice Oswald.
“Palestine Action is intervening to stop a genocide. It is acting to save life. We deplore the government’s decision to proscribe it,” it said. “We call on the government to withdraw its proscription of Palestine Action and to stop arming Israel.”
BBC says it should have shut down Bob Vylan’s ‘death’ to Israeli army chants
The BBC has expressed regret for failing to pull a livestream of rap duo Bob Vylan’s performance at the Glastonbury Festival as the group led crowds of music fans in chants calling for “death” to Israel’s military.
The British broadcaster called the chants “anti-Semitic” and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said there was no excuse for such “appalling hate speech”.
The Israeli embassy in the UK said over the weekend that it’s “deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival”.
In a statement posted on social media, singer Bobby Vylan said he’s been inundated with messages of both support and hatred. “Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place,” he wrote.
The IDF is comitting genocide and does not represent Judaism. Anti-semitism = hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people. To condemn people comitting genocide is not anti-semitic. The IDF does not represent Jewish people.

The BBC is however a racist institution defending genocide and deliberate starvation of 2 million people.
US revokes visas for Bob Vylan over Glastonbury chants
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau says the US is revoking visas for the British punk-rap group Bob Vylan, which led a chant at the Glastonbury Festival calling for death to the Israeli army.
“[Washington] has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants,” Landau said on X.
“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”
The Trump administration has aggressively revoked visas, mostly of students, over anti-Israel activism.
Bob Vylan, a London-based duo who combines punk riffs with a hip-hop delivery and whose lyrics often tackle racism, had dates to perform later this year in the US.
Nah only white people that glorify violence and hatred are welcome in the US.

Iran: Trump playing ‘psychological and media games’
Iran has criticised Trump’s shifting stance on whether to lift economic sanctions against Tehran as “games”.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said at a news conference that the US president’s comments are not aimed at solving the problems between the two countries.
“These [statements by Trump] should be viewed more in the context of psychological and media games than as a serious expression in favour of dialogue or problem-solving,” Baghaei said.
On Friday, Trump sharply criticised Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, dropped plans to lift sanctions on Iran and said he would consider bombing Iran again if Tehran enriches uranium to worrisome levels.
Usual cooperation with IAEA not possible due to lack of safety guarantees: Iran
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says Iran cannot be expected to maintain cooperation with the IAEA when nuclear sites are being attacked by the US and Israel. He said the “security of agency inspectors cannot be guaranteed” just days after nuclear facilities were hit.
On Friday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said on X that IAEA chief Rafael Grossi’s insistence on visiting the bombed sites is “meaningless and possibly even malign in intent”.
Iran decries ‘destructive’ conduct by IAEA chief
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has told his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, that Tehran halted cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog because of what he called its Director General Rafael Grossi’s “destructive” behaviour towards Iran.
Iran’s Guardian Council has ratified a parliament-approved legislation to suspend Tehran’s cooperation with the IAEA after the war with Israel.
“The action taken by parliament members … is a natural response to the unjustified, unconstructive, and destructive conduct of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency,” Pezeshkian told Macron in a phone call, according to a presidency statement.
Former prisoner detained as Israeli soldiers storm homes in occupied West Bank
Israeli forces have arrested a former detainee at the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, Wafa news agency reports. According to local sources, the soldiers raided several homes of Palestinians who were recently released as part of a prisoner exchange deal between Hamas and Israel.
The person arrested, Fahed Sawalhi, was freed a few months earlier after serving 23 years in Israeli prisons, Wafa said.
Israeli military says settlers torched West Bank ‘security site’
Israel’s army says “several Israeli citizens set fire to and vandalised” an Israeli “security site” used for surveillance in the Ramallah area of the occupied West Bank. Photographs shared by the military in a post on X appear to show burned computer servers and other equipment as well as graffiti in Hebrew.
“Damage to the site poses a danger to the safety of residents,” the Israeli army said. “The [Israeli military] condemns any act of violence against security forces and expects the security forces to bring to justice those Israelis who harm the security forces fulfilling their role in protecting the safety of Israeli civilians.”
According to The Times of Israel, the incident occurred after settlers earlier rioted outside a nearby army base.

One more Palestinian detainee dies in Israeli custody
A Palestinian administrative detainee has died at Israel’s Soroka Hospital, according to the Palestinian authorities.
Lo’ay Faisal Nasr-Allah, 22, died at the hospital to which he was transferred from Negev prison, Wafa news agency said in a report, quoting the Civil Affairs Commission in the occupied territory.
It added that the detainee was from the occupied West Bank governorate of Jenin, adding that he was held under administrative detention since March 26 last year.
Israeli army shoots at journalists in Jenin
The Israeli army shot at a group of journalists and photographers near Jenin Government Hospital, according to eyewitnesses and local sources cited by the Wafa news agency. The journalists were documenting large-scale demolitions being carried out by Israeli forces when they were targeted.
Meanwhile, bulldozers continued tearing down shops, residential buildings and roads in the area, as part of what local officials say is a plan to demolish 95 homes in the camp.
