Trump and his shambolic Board of Peace (BoP) has discarded its recovery plan for Gaza, opting instead for a “tiny pilot scheme” amid fears of a “new all-out offensive before Israeli elections,” the Guardian reported. The so-called ceasefire hasn’t stopped Israel’s daily bombardment of Gaza. As recently as 16 July, Israeli forces were again striking Palestinians huddled inside tents. Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since — including more than 200 children. pic.twitter.com/DWzA42MAyq —…

Trump’s “Board of Peace” and US administration: No place for UNRWA in the “New Gaza”

The so-called “Board of Peace” and the US administration have announced that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) “has no place in the new Gaza.” Liquidating the refugee issue They say they are “turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict.” But “Israel” is the reason why Palestinians in Gaza are reliant on aid in the first place. The occupation has enforced a blockade on the Strip for almost two decades. At the same time, it has inflicted repeated cycles of violence, and persistent destruction of the population. Even before the genocide, 80…

US officials: Israel planned to murder Iranian negotiators during peace talks

US officials have said that Israel was planning to murder key Iranian negotiators during US-initiated talks in an attempt to sabotage any peace. Israel attempted to murder Palestinian peace negotiators in Qatar in 2025 but missed. The occupation did murder senior negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in 2024 to end potential talks for an end to Israel’s Gaza genocide. Israel lobbied the US in May 2026 to murder one of its targets and the US and Israel have slaughtered senior officials and their families since the latest war began. So the US officials’ assessment is entirely credible. Israel plan thwarted Israel’s…

Israel’s petulant fascists are determined to wreck any chance of peace

Pariah state Israel appears determined to wreck any chance of peace between the US and Iran. The settler-colonial state has kept hitting Lebanon after failing to achieve its major aim — regime change — in the war it coaxed a rudderless Donald Trump into starting. Legacy outlet Newsweek reported on 19 June: Israel said it carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon overnight into Friday, after Israel’s military said four soldiers were killed in fighting with the Iran-backed group that threatens to derail a U.S.-Iran framework intended to halt hostilities across the region. UPDATE | Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health…

Iran and the US are set to sign a new peace deal this Friday. The US has been humiliated on multiple fronts, to say the least. The Oman-brokered deal, as we have often repeated, offered unprecedented concessions, but the US and Israel attacked Iran anyway. The full terms of the new deal are not yet clear. But we are being told the details are finalised, to be formally signed on 19 June. Here is what the news agency Reuters has reported: STRAIT OF HORMUZ: * Iran immediately reopens the ​Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels, while the U.S. ⁠lifts its naval…

Judge Jeremy Johnson has imposed draconian sentences on four ‘Filton 25’ anti-genocide activists. Johnson had earlier refused to recuse himself from the case over his connections to the security services, Johnson also announced that he would impose ‘terrorism connection’ sentences despite none of the four ever being charged with terror offences, let alone convicted. Palestine Action had not been proscribed as a terrorist group at the time when these activists were arrested. Johnson first protected himself against appeals and censure by claiming he was allowing mitigating factors. He then also claimed that “aggravating factors” included upsetting employees of the Elbit death…

Iran strikes Israel after Israel bomb’s Beirut’s Dahiyeh to kill peace talks

  • Post last modified:9 June 2026

Iran has launched at least two and as many as five (so far) waves of drones and at least ten ballistic missiles against Israel. The strikes, described by Tehran as a “warning shot”, came in retaliation for Israel attacking Dahiyeh in southern Beirut. Iran had warned Israel that it would strike its north if Netanyahu launched attacks on Dahiyeh. Israel claimed to have shot down all the incoming barrage, but even UK state-corporate media have reported numerous successful strikes. The attack was the first direct Iranian retaliation against Israel in two months. Local footage also appears to show missiles reaching targets:…

Israel shakes fragile Iran-US peace talks with Lebanon assault

Israel’s continuing attack on Lebanon has shaken the fragile peace talks between the US and Iran. The settler colonial state has also forced thousands to flee the southern suburbs of Beirut as it pushes into the capital. Drop Site News shared this week how: Hezbollah has framed its operations as retaliation for Israel’s own daily strikes on civilian areas across southern Lebanon, which have killed hundreds of civilians and demolished entire towns and neighborhoods since Israel escalated war on March 2. At the start of the latest Israeli invasion in March, the Canary reported: Israel violated the US-brokered Lebanon 2024 ‘ceasefire’ more…

Board of Peace is just the Trump administration — expert

The “Board of Peace” is a fiction, according to the Quincy Institute’s Khaled Elgindi. His comments come following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that Israel intends to control 70% of the Gaza Strip. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Elgindi said that the multilateral body of nations created to oversee Trump’s peace plan has no real authority. The Board of Peace is a fiction. It is a sort of multilateral; it has the appearance of multilateralism, but is really just the Trump administration that is running the show behind the scenes According to Elgindi, even the highly one-sided agreement that…

Israel lobbying US to murder chief Iranian peace negotiator

Founded as it is on a murderous, racist ideology — and run by a man using constant war to stay out of prison — Israel has no intention of allowing peace to break out between the US and Iran. Israel’s fascist security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir boasted that Israel would “not allow” a deal between Trump and Tehran to go through. The US promptly attacked Iran again in another appalling, but not shocking, display of bad faith. But the apartheid colony isn’t satisfied — and has been demanding that the US murder Iran’s chief negotiator, highly-educated parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Tehran…
