🎥: “Justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered.”
from #MiddleEastEye on Telegram
#NewYorkCity Mayor #ZohranMamdani has compared #NelsonMandela’s struggle against apartheid in #SouthAfrica to the #Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination. #Mamdani made the remarks at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Global Leadership Forum in New York City.
Mandela was an anti-#apartheid activist who later became South Africa’s first democratically elected president and is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in the global fight against racial oppression and injustice.
Mamdani drew parallels between Mandela’s struggle and the situation facing Palestinians today, citing kidnapped Gaza doctor Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya, who is still detained by Israeli forces, as an example.

US strikes Iran for sixth consecutive night, Iran retaliates
from #MiddleEastEye on Telegram
The #US hit #Iran for the sixth consecutive night, as vital infrastructure in the country's southern provinces were targeted. Iran responded by launching missiles on US #military assets in the region, including in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrein, Oman, Jordan, and Syria.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated the US is “terrified” of Iran’s “sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz,” as it accused Washington of destabilising the security in the critical transit corridor.
Despite having struck Iran repeatedly, the White House stated that US President #Trump is still “open to diplomacy”.
Meanwhile, Iran has asked #Yemen's #Houthis to close the #BabAlMandab July 17, 2026 strait if the US continues to attack power infrastructure.

#JeremyCorbyn slams Starmer over false antisemitism allegations
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-condemns-starmer-once-again-falsely-claiming-labour-was-institutionally-antisemiticfrom #MiddleEastEye on Telegram
At his last prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, Starmer recalled his time in the House of Commons as opposition leader.
“We had just lost the 2019 general election, which nearly broke my party,” he said. “We were found to be institutionally #antisemitic. I picked up our party. I turned it round. I made a promise to rip #antisemitism out of my party and I did.”
Responding to the comments, Corbyn told Middle East Eye: “The prime minister today falsely claimed that Labour was found to be ‘institutionally antisemitic’ under my leadership.
There was no such finding, and #KeirStarmer should have the decency to correct the record.”#AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism

From #MiddleEastEye on #Telegram
In 1948, #Israel forcibly displaced 750,000 Palestinians and destroyed 531 villages during the #Nakba.Their names disappeared from maps and new towns were built over them.
The village of #EinHawd was of the few left standing.
Whilst #Palestinian residents were expelled, Ein Hawd’s homes, mosques and streets were preserved and repurposed as an Israeli artists’ colony.
Today, thousands of tourists visit its galleries and artists’ studios each year, while its original Palestinian residents are denied the right to return.

I am a doctor in the occupied West Bank. Our hospitals are dying | Middle East Eye
Cancer patients are being turned away and surgeries postponed as Israel's financial squeeze leaves #hospitals without supplies
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/i-am-doctor-occupied-west-bank-our-hospitals-are-dyingFrom #MiddleEastEye
June 20, 2026Day by day, medicine by #medicine, surgery by surgery, the system that thousands of patients depend upon is collapsing before our eyes.
This is not a natural crisis. It is the direct result of the economic collapse in #Palestine and the withholding of clearance revenues - Palestinian tax funds collected by #Israel. These funds, which constitute over 60 percent of the Palestinian Authority's revenues, have been frozen for months.

The #British elite turned the #authoritarian dial up a few notches lately, and to all of #GreatBritain: it's going to get worse.
Remember the "first they came for the #Jews" speech? This is that first step. First they come for the #Palestine protestors and you don't speak out. Then they come for the Muslim and you won't speak out.
Somewhere along the line you're up and then who will speak for you?

Exclusive: Coalition of Medical groups tells UK government not to enforce 'chilling' NHS censorship on Palestine
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-coalition-medical-groups-tells-uk-government-not-enforce-chilling-nhs-censorshipfrom #MiddleEastEye
12 June 2026A coalition of #medical associations representing over 13,000 #healthcare workers in the #UK is calling on the #British government to immediately pause the rollout of a series of measures that would censor pro-#Palestine advocacy within the #NationalHealthService (#NHS).
Last week the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) endorsed a review into anti- #Jewish hate and other forms of #racism in the NHS by the UK government advisor on #antisemitism, Lord John Mann.
The review recommends mandatory antisemitism training for 1.5 million NHS staff members, as well as banning them from displaying political symbols in the workplace and preventing them from attending #protests in their uniforms.

Italian activists escalate Mediterranean port protests over Gaza genocide
Campaigners launch protests by land and sea over transfer of equipment through Italian ports
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/italy-activists-escalate-port-protests-over-gaza-genocide-and-military-supply-chains-throughfrom #MiddleEastEye
2 June 2026Pro-Palestinian activists have launched a new campaign at the port of Gioia Tauro in southern #Italy aimed at disrupting military supplies involved in the #Gaza #genocide.
The new action dubbed “Global Intifada Disarm” was launched during a maritime and land demonstration at the port as five boats from the #ThousandMadleensToGaza initiative approached the Calabrian port in a symbolic protest against Italy’s war economy and supply chains.
The 29 May mobilisation, called by grassroots #TradeUnions and the #MovementOfYoungPalestinians in Italy, saw demonstrations across the country, from ports and logistics hubs to factories identified by campaigners as being linked to #military production and supply chains connected to #Israel.

Iran objects to revised terms in draft deal
May 24, 2026 ~22:00 ET
from #MiddleEastEye #MEELess than a day after #US President Donald #Trump said an agreement with Tehran was “largely negotiated”, signs of friction have emerged over key elements of the proposed deal.
According to #AlJazeera, a source familiar with the talks said #Iran believes Washington is backing away from earlier understandings on the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets and the scope of a ceasefire framework for #Lebanon.
The source said the draft agreement includes provisions related to a ceasefire in Lebanon, but #Israel is reportedly pressing the United States to include language allowing #Israeli forces to carry out military operations in response to what it considers threats.
According to the source, Tehran has informed mediators that it will not sign the agreement under those terms, raising new questions about whether a final deal can be reached.
