As FIFA finalizes preparations for the expanded Club World Cup in the United States, football fans across the globe are demanding that Israel be shown the red card—just as Russia was barred following its invasion of Ukraine. From Glasgow to Cape Town, stadiums are echoing with calls to ban Israel over its war on Gaza—especially…

On this week’s edition of “MintCast,” host Mnar Adley speaks with Dr. Mohammed Tahir about his time working in hospitals in Gaza, Greta Thunberg’s “Freedom Flotilla,” Iraq’s unwavering support for Palestine, and the urgent need for unity in the Islamic world. Dr. Tahir is a British-Iraqi surgeon specializing in trauma, orthopedics, and peripheral nerve care.…

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius believe Russia could launch a full-scale attack on Europe by 2030, a fear that has prompted governments across the continent to prepare for war. As European citizens stockpile food and governments ramp up military readiness, one country sees opportunity in that…

The scenes Willy Massay witnessed in Gaza were harrowing: children shot multiple times in the head, chest and groin; hospitals reduced to rubble; the smell of burning flesh and gunpowder lingering in the air. For the American ICU nurse, recently returned from the besieged enclave, Israel’s assault on Gaza was not just war; it was…

Few Western voices have braved the gates of Gaza during Israel’s ongoing military assault. Fewer still have returned to tell the story. Susan Abulhawa, a Palestinian-American writer and humanitarian, is one of them. In this sobering episode of “The Watchdog,” Abulhawa sits down with host Lowkey to describe the irreversible psychological toll of witnessing Israel’s…

As threats of an Israeli strike on Iran grow louder, the United States is making quiet but unmistakable moves of its own. Over the past month, Washington has quietly repositioned strategic bombers and fighter squadrons to Diego Garcia, a remote U.S. military outpost in the Indian Ocean, squarely within striking distance of Tehran. The official…

Last week, headlines lit up with a staggering development: Microsoft locked the world’s top war crimes prosecutor out of his email. Karim Khan, chief of the International Criminal Court (ICC), had dared to go after Israeli officials for war crimes and was instantly digitally silenced. His accounts were frozen. His name smeared. His power stripped.…

With over half a million people in Gaza on the brink of starvation and aid groups warning of an “imminent famine,” Israel has agreed to allow a token number of relief trucks into the besieged enclave.
