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…

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has claimed that between 4,000 and 5,000 US planes took off from European bases during Trump’s illegal war against Iran. Trying to ease Trump’s disappointment at Europe’s lack of enthusiasm for Trump’s deranged war, Rutte said: I would argue it would have been very difficult to do Iran without having Europe as a power projection platform for the United States. Sitting beside President Donald Trump on Wednesday at the White House, Rutte repeatedly praised the US leader as the “leader of the free world.” He described Trump as taking “responsibility beyond the shores of the United States.”…

Adding: Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved,…

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:…
