Met Police re-opens war crimes case on Britons fighting for Israel

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into UK nationals who fought in Gaza.

It alleged that ten UK nationals – including dual citizens – had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF)…

Wes Streeting said Israel was committing war crimes. What now?

Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits “rogue state behaviour” Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight. “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp.“Their government talks the languages of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”In messages that Streeting released earlier…

Israeli arms firms threaten journalists at UK airshow

Amid the Gaza genocide, Farnborough airshow invited Israel’s three largest arms firms. None wanted media scrutiny Israel’s largest arms firms angrily refused to answer questions from independent media at an arms fair in England on Monday. They had been invited to the Farnborough International Airshow despite being required by French authorities to cover their stands in black drapes at the Paris airshow last year. One company at Farnborough, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), even threatened to report journalists to police for asking questions about its role in the Gaza genocide. IAI makes the Heron surveillance drone which its chief executive Boaz Levy…

Israel kill 17 year old Fadi Hamdallah Al-Nassan with expanding bullet

17 year old Fadi Hamdallah Al-Nassan has succumbed to his injuries, a week after being shot by the Israel occupation forces (IOF) with an expanding bullet to his thigh, in the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir. Israel martyr Fadi al-Nassan Al-Nassan was martyred as a result of a two day raid on al-Mughayyir, which took place on 10 and 11 July 2026. The occupation’s military stormed the village early on the Friday morning. They shot three Palestinians, and beat others. The army also raided the home of Mohammed Hamed Abu Alia and his family. That particular attack came north east of…

Israel restricting safe access to education for children in the occupied West Bank

Education is a fundamental human right for everyone, but in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, access to safe and quality education for almost 835,000 school aged children has been undermined, severely threatening their futures. West Bank education restricted Movement restrictions, forced displacement, school demolitions, violence. and harassment by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and Jewish colonial settlers are commonplace. So for many children, accessing education is a daily challenge. This story explores some of these difficulties.

US says it will “dismantle” ICC to prevent ‘threat’ to Israel

The US, through its ambassador to the UN, has said it will “dismantle” the International Criminal Court (ICC) to protect Israel. It didn’t name Israel, but Israel was clearly the point — and, of course, protecting the US’s own mountain of war criminals. The attack came a day after warmongering US secretary of state Marco Rubio also threatened the court. Orwellian claims And Jeff Bartos was in full Orwellian mood, claiming the ICC is engaged in some kind of international takeover. The US has enabled Israel’s Gaza genocide and murder of Lebanese civilians as well as knowingly slaughtering over 160 schoolgirls…

Craig Mokhiber declares Israel has no ‘right to exist’ in fierce op-ed

Former senior UN human rights chief, Craig Mokhiber, has written a fierce opinion piece in Mondoweiss denying Israel’s right to exist. In the essay, he calls for the dismantling of the Israeli regime, which is on trial for genocide at the ICJ, charges that the court has found plausible enough to issue a series of preliminary orders — all of which the regime has ignored. Mokhiber calls for Israel to be replaced by a free Palestine with equal rights for all, which is not only a legal requirement but an “existential imperative for all of humanity”. My latest: No, Israel does…

80 MPs and peers write to Cooper demanding sanctions on Israel

More than 80 MPs and peers have written publicly to foreign secretary Yvette Cooper, demanding immediate sanctions on Israel for its Gaza genocide. Indefensible Leeds East Labour MP published a copy of the letter. It reminds Cooper of her government’s “indefensible” failure to do anything meaningful to curb Israel’s arrogant impunity or fulfil the UK’s obligations under international law: BREAKING: With @Imran_HussainMP and 80 other MPs and Lords, I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel. The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal – and Governments must act now to end…

WATCH: Israel again mocks concept of ‘ceasefire’ with 4 strikes on Gaza

Israel has again shown its contempt for the very idea of a ceasefire, with at least four murderous airstrikes on Gaza City today. Last week, the occupation murdered the director of Egypt’s aid mission to Gaza, in evident retaliation for the Egyptian football team manager’s show of solidarity with Palestine. On Sunday 12 July 2026, Israel hit a home in a densely-populated civilian area of Gaza City with at least four missiles in quick succession: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hamdan Dahdouh (@hamdaneldahdouh) Israel — One street, three bombings And in a further horrifying display of the…

Israel lobby groups demand Burnham roll back even milksop Gaza comments

Israel lobby groups wasted no time in demanding Andy Burnham pull back from even his watery comments on Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Burnham refused last week to call the genocide a genocide. Instead, he said Labour “didn’t get right” its response. That would be Keir Starmer endorsing Israel’s crimes against humanity by cutting off fuel and water to the besieged open-air concentration camp. And ordering the RAF to provide active support for the slaughter of Palestinians — and almost certainly UK aid workers. And Burnham dared to suggest — after almost three years of slaughter, starvation, targeting of children, hospitals, schools,…

Israel lobby smears Mamdani’s wife Rama for celebrating Mary as Palestinian

The Israel lobby has gone into yet another Mamdani-related meltdown. This time, though, the emphasis is on ‘related’. Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji dared to co-host a retreat in Corsica that honoured the Virgin Mary as “a Palestinian woman who gave birth under occupation”. The event also included prayers for Palestinian mothers giving birth and trying to protect their children during Israel’s genocide. Israel meltdown The Murdoch-owned New York Post claimed Duwaji dodged US Independence Day celebrations, liked posts praising resistance to occupation and created artwork that criticised Israel. It also attacked attendees for wearing keffiyeh scarves and raising funds for Palestinian…

How Israeli atrocities fueled Palestine Action

Two women have told a court how they felt compelled to join the Palestine Action protest group after watching “a live-streamed genocide” of Israeli attacks in Gaza. “I would see mothers scrape up tiny pieces of their children,” 53-year-old Hannah Davidson told jurors at the Old Bailey this week. “I saw a stray dog with a toddler’s arm.” Co-defendant Teuta Hoxha, a 30-year-old care worker, said she watched a video of a Palestinian father carrying two bags. “He was wailing. It was the type of wail that comes from the soul. “What he was saying was, ‘I have my son in…

Burnham plans to take Starmer’s ‘censor for Israel’ plan even further

Presumptive new PM Andy Burnham has indicated that he will not undo any of his defunct predecessor’s war on UK rights and freedoms in support of Israel. In fact, he has made clear that he doesn’t think it’s tough enough and intends to take it further. Burnham picks up where Starmer left off For example, Burnham has said that he wants the under-16s ban to be delivered with urgency and reinforced the lies about doing it to ‘protect children’. But he thinks it is only a starting point: a “critical first step”. Burnham made a milksop apology yesterday for Labour’s ‘stance’…

Netanyahu says Israel will occupy Lebanon for as long as they ‘need’

Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu has said Israel will occupy Lebanon for as long as required. The settler colonial state pushed deep into the country’s south during the most recent invasion and is still holding swathes of Lebanese territory. Netanyahu said on 9 July: We will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary to guarantee the security of our communities in the north. The war criminal PM was addressing a group of Israeli pilots. The Times of Israel reported that he told them: The war is not over. Alongside old challenges, new ones continue to emerge.…

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has taken a fresh step towards historic ignominy by pushing through a vote to fulfil its Nations League fixtures against the genocidal apartheid entity of ‘Israel’. In a statement, the FAI explained: At an Extraordinary General Meeting on Wednesday, July 8th, members were asked to vote on the following ordinary motion: “While acknowledging the strength of feeling regarding support for Palestine and the upcoming UEFA Men’s Nations League fixtures, that the members recognise the profound impact that any non-fulfilment of UEFA fixtures would have on Irish football as a whole and on its future development,…

Israel targeted two Canary journalists with stun grenades in south Lebanon

Zahra — a Lebanese citizen from the south of Lebanon — was on her balcony, pouring coffee, telling two journalists — one British, one Lebanese — what it is like to live in a town which has now become inside Israel’s yellow line of occupation, and why she can’t leave. Then BANG!! An Israeli drone had dropped a stun grenade — a flash-bang, the kind police lob to scatter riot crowds — around 30 metres from where they sat. On the recording, you can hear it detonate. You can hear her voice change: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Guy-and-Mohamad-—-stun-grenade.wav The translation of the Arabic from the…

A new B’Tselem report examines the Israeli occupation’s killing of Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, with special emphasis on 2025. The report provides a stark overview of the brute force Israel uses to maim and kill Palestine’s youth. Titled — Unshielded Childhood: Palestinian children and teenagers killed by Israel in the West Bank — reveals the scale of the killings, and the circumstances in which children have been shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces (IOF). It also discusses the policies and practices enabling these violations to continue with total impunity. “Israel” attacks all aspects of Palestinian life Since the…

Israel has responded to the Egyptian football team manager’s comments of support for Gaza by murdering Palestinian Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi — Egypt’s organiser of World Cup match screenings in Gaza. The 7 July 2026 murder came just before Egypt’s match against Argentina, where many believe the Egyptians were cheated out of a historic win. Israel kills Palestinian aid worker Al-Wahidi was the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza’s public relations director. He had organised screenings of World Cup matches for Palestinians as a small glimmer of relief from their suffering under Israeli genocide, starvation and oppression.

SNP ‘breaching Israel boycott vote’ over bank bond plans

The SNP is breaching a historic Holyrood vote for an Israel boycott, amid preparations to issue new government bonds. The government is also accused of allowing “secrecy” around a government agency, Scottish Enterprise, which “refused to publish key information” on preventing genocide in Gaza. The Zionist occupation entity continues murdering Lebanese, Iranian and especially Palestinian civilians en-masse, largely unchecked by Western governments. Scotland’s government was among few to have taken meaningful steps in line with the global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement’s urgent call. The SNP-run Scottish government confirmed nine banks chosen to support a £1.5 billion issuance of bonds. Expected…
