Quarter million join Nakba Day rally as far-right protest also takes place in central #London
Arrests made as police officers deployed in 'unprecedented' numbers to tackle multiple rallies, with extra powers to target activists
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/thousands-march-parallel-nakba-day-and-far-right-rallies-central-londonfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
16 May 2026The Metropolitan Police, which deployed over 4,000 officers to police the marches in what it described as an "unprecedented" public order operation, announced that it had made 31 arrests in relation to the protests by 4.30pm. It did not specify which protest those arrested had attended.
The #NakbaDay march is an annual demonstration organised by a coalition of groups, including the #PalestineSolidarityCampaign, commemorating the expulsion of more than 750,000 #Palestinians from their land and the killing of over 13,000 others by #Zionist militias to make way for the creation of #Israel in 1948.

12 May 2026"In January 2027, due to the reduction of mandatory service to 30 months, the #IDF [#Israel's army] will lose thousands more combat soldiers," Zamir told the committee.
"The reserve army will collapse into itself," he added, according to i24news.
Zamir warned MPs that after nearly three years of war on multiple fronts, the #military is facing a severe manpower shortage that could undermine future operations.

Filmmakers slam BBC after Gaza documentary wins award despite being dropped
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/filmmakers-slam-bbc-after-gaza-documentary-wins-award-despite-being-droppedfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
10 May 2026Filmmakers behind Gaza: #Doctors Under Attack used their BAFTA TV Award win on Sunday to publicly rebuke the #BBC, accusing it of silencing a #documentary that lays bare Israel’s assault on Gaza’s #medical sector throughout the #genocide.
The #film, originally commissioned by the BBC before being dropped last June, went on to win best current affairs programme after Channel 4 stepped in to broadcast it.
Accepting the award, presenter Ramita Navai said the public broadcaster had “paid for” the documentary but “refused to show it.”
The documentary’s content makes clear why it proved controversial. It opens with footage recovered from the phone of a #Palestinian medic killed under intense #Israeli gunfire, immediately placing #Israel’s targeting of #Gaza’s healthcare system at the centre of the narrative.

CIA says Iran has 70 percent of pre-war missiles, can ride out blockade for months: Report
CIA analysis directly contradicts public statements made by US President Donald Trump and his top officials on Iran's status
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/cia-says-iran-has-70-percent-pre-war-missile-stockpile-can-withstand-blockade-months-reportfrom #MiddleEastEye
May 7, 2026Iran can withstand the US naval blockade against it for three or four more months before facing severe economic hardship, the #CIA told the #Trump administration this week, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday.
The report also said the CIA has found that Tehran retains “significant ballistic missile capabilities” ...
The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration, which has claimed that the vast majority of #Iran’s drone and missile capabilities have been destroyed.
The #US has said that Iran is running out of storage space for its oil...
Analysts have told #MEE that Iran has “weeks” of storage space left.

How the smear campaign targeting the Green Party and Muslim voters failed
The Greens, which made enormous gains in the local elections, were repeatedly accused by their rivals and sections of the media of engaging in '#Muslim sectarianism'
https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/how-smear-campaign-targeting-green-party-and-muslim-voters-failedfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
10 May 2026or the last six weeks, the #UK's #GreenParty has been the victim of a sustained smear campaign.
Leader #ZackPolanski has been accused of being an #antisemite, a liar, a fabricator and a hypocrite.
His supporters have been painted as crazed Islamists obsessed by foreign policy at the expense of day-to-day issues.
4 national newspapers published cartoons of #Britain's only #Jewish leader, which have been widely criticised as #antisemitic.
...yesterday, it became obvious that the attempt to destroy #Polanski and the #Greens had failed.

Troops tell Haaretz the only task is the destruction of everything in predominantly #Shia villages

April 29, 2026According to the report on Wednesday, the #military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.
As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.
“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told #Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”

In #Gaza, life flickers as power cuts shatter livelihoods and healthcare
Businesses collapse, operations are delayed, and families struggle to survive as electricity shortages deepen under Israeli siege

April 29, 2026After hours spent carefully preparing her cakes, Abrar Abdu stood stunned in silence before her oven.
In her small, darkened workshop in #Gaza City, the only light came from her phone’s torch, illuminating more than 27 ruined cakes - the result of a sudden #power cut and a faulty oven.
Abdu, 34, who runs a small cake business in the #Palestinian enclave, was forced to apologise to customers after failing to deliver their orders, refund every payment and absorb the full cost of the wasted ingredients.

#Israel at 78 still believes it can live by the sword alone. A reckoning is due
On the country's Independence Day, the nostalgia of liberal Israelis for a better, earlier state is a comforting illusion. The Nakba and the occupation were there from the beginning
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-78-believes-it-can-live-by-sword-alone-reckoning-due[A very moving, powerful article]
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Gideon Levy
23 April 2026At the beginning of this state was the Nakba: our day of celebration was the day of another people's historic catastrophe, a people who were here before us. Everything since has been bound up with what came before. What began in 1948 has not ended, not even in 2026.
From the Nakba to today, the basic principles by which #Zionism operates have not changed, nor has the policy of successive governments of the #Jewish state. The #Nakba has never ended; it has merely altered in form.

Activists break into #Leicester factory owned by Israeli firm #ElbitSystems
'People Against Genocide' members abseil through roof of #UAVTacticalSystems, owned by the #UK subsidiary of Israel's largest defence company
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/activists-leicester-break-factory-owned-israeli-firm-elbit-systemsfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
April 24, 2026According to a media group, the #activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.
After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and then abseiled into the building.
The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli #drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.
One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this #genocide that #Israel is committing on the #Palestinian people."

Exclusive: Inside Hezbollah’s battle for Bint Jbeil and Khiam
The Lebanese towns hold both strategic and symbolic weight for Israel. Sources close to Hezbollah describe how the Israelis failed to hold them [😀]
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-inside-hezbollahs-battle-bint-jbeil-and-khiamfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
April 21, 2026For weeks, Israel bombarded Bint Jbeil and Khiam, repeatedly attempting to encircle the southern #Lebanese towns. Yet neither fully fell to #Israel’s invading military.
The survival of these #Hezbollah redoubts, which have long carried symbolic and strategic weight, exposed the limits of what #Israeli firepower is able to achieve in south #Lebanon, and the strategic power the terrain holds for its defenders.
Three sources close to Hezbollah, including one intimately familiar with the battles in the south, described to Middle East Eye how Israel was unable to dislodge the Lebanese armed movement.

Hamas rebuffs ‘trap’ disarmament plan as Israeli violations stall ceasefire process
Sources say Hamas rejects US-backed proposal, citing failure to implement first phase of ceasefire and concerns over Gaza security
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-rebuffs-trap-disarmament-plan-israeli-violations-stall-ceasefire-processfrom #MiddleEastEye
April 19, 2026Palestinian sources with direct knowledge of the talks told #MEE that #Hamas views the plan, presented earlier this month, as a “trap” designed to ignite civil war in the #Gaza Strip and destabilise #Palestinian society.
The group fears the proposal would leave Palestinians in Gaza defenceless while allowing Israeli-backed armed gangs to operate freely and spread disorder.
...opposition is even stronger within its military wing, which considers disarmament “collective suicide”.
They added...that the proposal targets Palestinian armed groups while failing to address armed gangs operating under Israeli direction inside Gaza.
