• All living zion¿st captives released as Red Cross takes in final 13 held by Hamas; Trump in occupied Palestine

    Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has released the remaining 13 z¿onist captives and handed them over to the International Red Cross in Gaza.

    Hamas on Monday began releasing living zion¿st captives as part of a deal to end the war in Gaza and facilitate a prisoner exchange.

    Earlier, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, handed over seven z¿onist captives to the International Red Cross.

    Iran formally rejects invitation to Trump & Sisi’s Sharm el-Sheikh Summit

    Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi briefed the cabinet on Sunday on Egypt’s official invitation for President Masoud Pezeshkian to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh summit and Iran’s subsequent decision to decline the invitation, after which Cairo extended it to the foreign minister instead. The summit, co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and US President Donald Trump, will bring together leaders from more than 20 countries to discuss ending Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and advancing regional ‘security.’

  • Armed zion¿st-backed gangs murder Gaza journalist as truce takes effect

    Armed zion¿st-backed gangs have killed a prominent Palestinian journalist and social media personality in southern Gaza City as a ceasefire between Hamas and zionist colony takes effect, aimed at ending the regime’s war of genocide on the Strip.

    Saleh al-Ja’frawi was killed alongside several others by outlaw gangs affiliated with the Daghmash family in the al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City on Sunday while reporting in the area.

    Ja’frawi was a supporter of the resistance and the steadfast voice of Gaza who covered the zionist colony’s genocidal war for 735 days.

    He survived occupation bombs and enemy propaganda only to be martyred by the bullets of criminal agents being recruited to serve the Israeli regime’s interests.

    The journalist was kidnapped and executed in cold blood by the Daghmash militia, gangs unleashed by the occupation to sow chaos, silence the truth, and intimidate those returning home following the implementation of the US-proposed ceasefire agreement.

    These collaborators attack the living and the dead, assault journalists, beat citizens, and steal equipment in broad daylight at a time when Gaza bleeds from two years of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    A political analyst from Gaza tweeted on Saturday that Israel was trying to provoke a civil war in Gaza through its proxy criminal gangs.

    Muhammad Shehada, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, wrote that Israel is encouraging these gangs, some of which are affiliated with Daesh (ISIL), to clash with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and stoke chaos.

    A militia commander told Israel’s Kan News on Sunday that most of these militia gangs have now moved about 400 meters beyond the so-called yellow line, preventing anyone from entering the area.

    However, Palestinian security forces continue to hunt down these gangs and restore order.

    Nearly 300 journalists and media workers have been killed since Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza began two years ago.

    According to the Shireen Abu Akleh observatory, the overwhelming majority were Palestinians.The International Federation of Journalists confirms at least 246 journalists have died across the region, 223 of them in Gaza alone.

    These are not accidental deaths or unfortunate coincidences. They are the result, many human rights observers say, of a deliberate campaign to silence witnesses.

    Since October 2023, zionist colony has shut down foreign media access, censored domestic coverage, and outlawed outlets deemed hostile to its war aims.

God is Great, what a people you are, and by God, we deserve life, by God. Praise be to God in any case.”

  • A Legacy in Motion: Al-Mahdi Scouts Association Pays Tribute to Sayyed Nasrallah

    Born of his vision and sustained by his will, Al-Mahdi Scouts Association continues to walk the path late Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah had illuminated for generations to come.

    Tens of thousands of scouts gathered on Sunday in one of the greatest scout event in Lebanon and the region, in tribute to late Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Nasrallah.

    Dubbed “Sayyed’s Generations,” the event is a scene of remarkable density and vitality, as more than 74,000 Scouts filled Beirut’s Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium.

    The stadium overflowed with waves of Scouts, their uniforms forming a sea of discipline and devotion. Beneath the open sky, chants and salutes merged in tribute of Sayyed Nasrallah, whose guidance had long nurtured their spirit, and the resistance martyrs.

    Banners fluttered, drums rolled, and the air trembled with emotion, a powerful symphony of remembrance echoing through the hearts of thousands who had come to honor the “Sayyed” enduring legacy.

    The ceremony included a series of parades and musical performances that added color and rhythm to the occasion.

    Al-Mahdi Scouts Association’s General Commissioner Nazih Fayyad addressed the ceremony, describing it as the largest scout gathering in the world.

    “The total number of scouts participating in the event reached 74,358. We have not come to challenge anyone but the Zionist enemy,” Fayyad stated.

    “We, Generations of Sayyed, have come to announce to the world that we shall keep the covenant, and that we are more determined, more faithful and more hopeful.”

    Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem then addressed the ceremony, delivering a heartfelt message to the scouters.

    The ceremony marks conclusion of events organized on the first martyrdom anniversary of Sayyed Nasrallah. It also comes on the 40th foundation anniversary of Al-Mahdi Scouts Association.

  • Secret zion¿st-Arab military cooperation during Gaza war revealed, leaked US documents show

    Despite harsh public criticism of zion¿st entity, at least six Arab states secretly took part in a US-led regional security network, sharing intelligence and training with zion¿st colony on tunnel warfare and countering Iran.

    The Washington Post revealed on Saturday that, despite fierce public condemnation of zion¿st colony by Arab governments during the Gaza war, several of those same countries secretly maintained close military and intelligence cooperation with Jerusalem.
    According to leaked U.S. documents obtained by the newspaper and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), at least six Arab states — Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar — took part in a classified regional defense framework known as the “Regional Security Construct.” Kuwait and Oman were listed as potential future partners.The mechanism, established under the coordination of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), functioned as a discreet network for information-sharing, joint exercises, and operational coordination aimed at countering Iran’s regional influence and strengthening military ties with Israel.
    All meetings were classified as “sponsored and confidential,” with strict orders banning photography or contact with the media. Internal memos even outlined kosher catering and religious dietary restrictions, prohibiting pork and shellfish at gatherings.

    Over the past three years, the network reportedly organized a series of regional security summits and training exercises — from Bahrain and Jordan to Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base and Fort Campbell in Kentucky — attended by senior officers from Israel, Arab states, and the U.S. military.
    One document detailed international exercises on identifying and destroying underground tunnels, the same technology used by Hamas in Gaza. Another described joint training held in Egypt in September, involving forces from the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Greece, India, Britain, and Qatar.
    The stated goal of the initiative was to establish real-time coordination on intelligence, radar connectivity, cyber communication, and missile defense systems. Since 2022, participating countries have integrated their radar and sensor data with the U.S. network to counter Iranian missiles and drones.
    The documents also indicate that two unnamed Arab countries shared intelligence directly with a U.S. Air Force squadron, and all participants now use an encrypted chat platform for direct communication with Washington and allied capitals.
    Iran at the center of the alliance
    CENTCOM briefings cited in the documents describe Iran and its regional proxies as the “axis of evil,” showing maps marking missile threats in Gaza and Yemen. Washington views the structure as a way to promote a narrative of “regional prosperity and cooperation” and counter Tehran’s claim of defending Palestinians.

    The information was also distributed to members of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance — the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand — underscoring the global dimension of the initiative. Future plans include a “Middle East Cyber Center” and a regional “Information Fusion Center” to facilitate real-time data-sharing and digital defense training for Israeli and Arab experts alike.
    Saudi Arabia reportedly played a particularly active role, providing intelligence to both Israel and its Arab neighbors on Syria, Yemen, and ISIS activity. A major meeting held in January at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, included drills on identifying and neutralizing offensive tunnels — a common tactic in Gaza warfare.
    Another briefing saw Saudi and U.S. officials present overviews of Russian, Turkish, and Kurdish activity in Syria, alongside updates on Houthi threats in Yemen and ISIS operations in Iraq and Syria.
    Tensions after Doha strike
    Relations within the group reportedly hit a crisis last month after an Israeli airstrike in Doha, which targeted senior Hamas officials. The attack caught Washington off guard and infuriated Qatar, a key mediator with Hamas and a central partner in the secret mechanism.
    According to the report, President Donald Trump pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to apologize in a phone call from the Oval Office and commit not to repeat such an action. U.S. radar systems did not detect the Israeli jets, American military sources said, because they were calibrated primarily for monitoring Iran.

    The leaked documents explicitly emphasize that the cooperation “does not constitute a new alliance” and that all meetings must remain discreet. Publicly, however, Arab leaders continued to denounce Israel at international forums: Qatar’s emir called the Gaza operation a “war of extermination,” while Saudi Arabia accused Israel of “starving Palestinians and ethnic cleansing.”
    Analysts cited in the Post said the documents show Arab states remain reliant on the U.S. for security guarantees while still wary of Israel’s power. “The Gulf states fear an unrestrained Israel but depend on the U.S. and worry about Iran’s growing strength,” said Prof. Thomas Juneau of the University of Ottawa.

    From Washington’s perspective, the cooperation reflects an effort to build on the Abraham Accords and gradually advance security normalization between zionist colony and the Arab world. The U.S. recently deployed 200 troops to oversee the cease-fire implementation, and President Trump said Arab nations in the network might eventually contribute forces to a future international mission in Gaza.
    Though these countries publicly endorsed Trump’s roadmap for ending the war — including establishing a multinational force in Gaza and training a new Palestinian police corps — none has yet formally committed to sending troops.

  • ‘Not welcome’: Hamas rejects Tony Blair’s potential role in post-war Gaza governance

    Hamas has strongly rejected any role for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in governing Gaza following the recently declared ceasefire in the enclave.
    Speaking to Sky News, senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the movement welcomed efforts by US President Donald Trump to help end the two-year genocidal war but warned that Blair would not be welcome in any role governing Gaza after the ceasefire.
    “When it comes to Tony Blair, unfortunately, we Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims — and maybe others around the world — have bad memories of him,” Naim said. “We still remember his role in killing and causing the deaths of thousands or even millions of innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.”
    Blair previously served as the official envoy for the Middle East Quartet — comprising the US, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations — from 2007 to 2015, during which he failed to achieve a breakthrough in the Israel-Palestine negotiations. 
    Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan includes the creation of a new international body, dubbed the “Board of Peace,” which would be tasked with overseeing an interim authority of technocrats to govern Gaza.
    According to the scheme, Trump himself would chair the board, which would also include international figures, including Tony Blair.
    The plan would establish a transitional authority in Gaza for up to five years, excluding both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
    Under the reported proposal, the authority would hold “supreme political and legal authority” over Gaza during the interim period.

    In a joint statement on Friday, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) reiterated that any decision on the future governance of Gaza is “an internal Palestinian matter” as the ceasefire in the territory takes effect.
    “We renew our rejection to any foreign guardianship, and we stress that the nature of the administration of the Gaza Strip and its institutions are an internal Palestinian matter to be determined by the national component of our people directly,” the statement said.
    On Monday, another senior Hamas political bureau member, Husam Badran, wrote on the social media platform Telegram that including Blair in any ceasefire initiative “is an ominous sign for the Palestinian people.”
    Calling Blair “the devil’s brother,” he added that instead of being considered for interim governorship of Gaza, “[he] deserves to stand before international courts for his crimes, especially his role in the war on Iraq (2003–2011).”

  • Nobel ‘War’ Prize: Machado awarded for advocating zion¿st-american attack on Venezuela

    María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan politician notorious for advocating american and z¿onist military intervention in her country, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize – sparking global outrage.



    “She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” said the Norwegian Nobel Committee while announcing the much-anticipated award.

    The committee rebuffed US President Donald Trump despite his intense lobbying, but ended up giving it to someone who has aggressively supported and promoted the US “regime change” project in Caracas.

    For many around the world, the decision underscores how Western governments continue to manipulate moral symbols to advance their nefarious political agendas.

    Awarding a “Peace Prize” to a figure widely seen as a US-backed coup plotter and a supporter of zionist genocidal war on Gaza has once again exposed the Nobel Committee’s transformation into a geopolitical tool of the West — serving imperial interests rather than global peace, analysts warned.

    They recalled how Machado, long embraced by Washington’s “regime-change” lobby, had previously written directly to Netanyahu — who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocidal war crimes in Gaza — pleading for his support in overthrowing Venezuela’s democratically elected president, Nicolás Maduro.

    Her public dedication of the prize to Trump only reinforced the perception that the award was less a recognition of peace-building and more a celebration of subversion.From opposition leader to symbol of regime change

    Machado, a 58-year-old industrial engineer, is currently living in hiding in Venezuela after being disqualified from contesting the 2024 presidential election.

    The country’s Supreme Court upheld a 15-year ban against her, citing her direct support for US sanctions, involvement in large-scale corruption, and responsibility for massive financial losses suffered by Venezuela’s foreign assets — including the US-based oil refiner CITGO and the Colombia-based chemicals firm Monómeros.

    According to the court’s findings, Machado played a role in the “corruption plot orchestrated by the usurper Juan Guaidó,” the opposition leader who once declared himself “interim president” of Venezuela with Washington’s patronage.

    Guaidó’s rise was a textbook example of a foreign-orchestrated “regime change” project.

    A relatively lesser-known opposition lawmaker, Guaidó rose to sudden prominence in January 2019 when he declared himself “interim president” of Venezuela, claiming that Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate.

    Within hours, the US and its allies — including certain European nations — recognized him as the country’s leader, seized Venezuela’s overseas assets, and poured financial support into his faction.

    The goal was to topple Maduro’s legitimate government through a mix of economic strangulation, political isolation, and internal destabilization.

    Although dozens of Western governments initially backed Guaidó, he never gained control of the military or state institutions, and over time, his “interim government” lost both credibility and cohesion.

    By late 2022, even parts of the opposition abandoned the experiment and formally dissolved the interim presidency, marking Guaidó’s ouster from his self-proclaimed post — an end to a foreign-engineered bid for power that had brought turmoil but failed to dislodge Maduro.

    In 2023, Venezuelan judicial officials issued an arrest warrant against Guaido, charging the politician with multiple illegal activities, including treason, money laundering, impersonating public officials, and, above all, misappropriation of $19 billion of the resources of the PDVSA oil company and using money from the country’s state-owned oil company for his own financial benefit.

    Following the collapse of Guaidó’s US-backed so-called “interim government,” Washington and the Venezuelan opposition quickly shifted their hopes to Machado, long known for aligning herself with foreign interests against the elected government in Caracas.Like Guaidó, who later fled to Miami, Machado built her profile through Western media promotion and US political endorsement, portraying herself as the new face of “democratic change.”

    After Guaidó’s failure exposed the opposition’s dependence on foreign backing and internal corruption, Machado sought to rebrand that same movement — calling for more sanctions and international pressure on the Maduro government rather than reconciliation.

    Her disqualification from the 2024 presidential race became a rallying cry abroad, yet inside Venezuela, many viewed her as the continuation of the same externally driven strategy that had deepened the Latin American country’s crisis.

    In essence, Machado inherited Guaidó’s role as the latest figurehead of a Washington-orchestrated opposition, one that repeatedly undermined dialogue, invited economic punishment on its own people, and failed to win the trust of the Venezuelan majority that continued to back Maduro’s government.

    After the 2024 presidential election, which Maduro won amid high turnout and strong support from working-class communities against Edmundo González Urrutia, the candidate Machado backed, she and her foreign-backed allies refused to accept the results, claiming fraud without credible proof.

    She incited protests across the country that quickly turned violent, with opposition groups blocking roads, attacking public buildings, and clashing with security forces.

    The government described these disturbances as part of a destabilization campaign orchestrated from abroad to delegitimize Venezuela’s democratic process and provoke chaos.

    While authorities restored order, Maduro called for unity and peace, lashing out at Machado for trying to reignite the same failed regime-change strategy once led by Guaidó — this time through street violence rather than ballots.

    More recently, Machado publicly supported the deployment of US warships to the southern Caribbean under the pretext of combating drug cartels — a move Caracas denounced as yet another act of aggression aimed at surrounding and intimidating Venezuela.After the Nobel Committee announced her as the 2025 Peace Prize laureate, Machado took to social media to dedicate her win to Trump, praising him for his “decisive support of our cause.”

    Her statement drew sharp criticism, with many viewing her gesture as proof that the award was a reward for loyalty to Washington, not for service to global or regional peace.

    Machado’s win crushed Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize dream, despite his lobbying efforts, and his administration denounced the decision to award it to her.

    However, in his remarks on Friday evening, Trump said he spoke with Machado, adding that she was “very nice” in their call.

    “The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me and said, ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it,’” the president said.

    “I’ve been helping her along the way,” Trump added. “They need a lot of help in Venezuela, it’s a basic disaster.”

    Trump’s comments laid bare what was known: that Machado’s Nobel is not a recognition of peace, but a symbolic victory in Washington’s long-running campaign to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty.Machado’s Peace Prize: A gift to Washington

    Global backlash

    The Nobel Committee’s decision to award Machado sparked an immediate global backlash.

    Activists, political commentators, politicians, and journalists flooded social media with posts denouncing the blatant politicization of the world’s once most prestigious award.

    Many noted that the decision undermined the Nobel Committee’s credibility and exposed its deep entanglement with Western power structures.

    Across digital platforms, users circulated evidence of Machado’s longstanding pro-Western agenda and her repeated calls for foreign intervention and war against Venezuela.

    Tim Anderson, scholar-activist and Director of the Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies, condemned the award in a post on X, calling it a reward for a “CIA-backed coup plotter.”

    “Reward for coup plotter. CIA-backed Venezuelan traitor Maria Corina Machado BEATS warmonger Trump got the tainted Norwegian #Nobel prize, amid fake rumors of her arrest,” he wrote.

    Anderson also shared a photo of Machado shaking hands with former US President George W. Bush at the White House in May 2005, calling out her “tireless struggle” as a career built on enriching herself and selling her country’s assets to the US oligarchy.

    Users also replugged a 2018 letter written by Machado to Netanyahu, in which she explicitly requested Israel’s assistance in toppling Venezuela’s elected government.

    “In truth, her ‘peaceful transition’ meant foreign interference and regime change — the classic Western recipe for destroying sovereign nations under the banner of democracy,” independent outlet DD Geopolitics wrote on X, referencing the Nobel Committee’s statement justifying its decision.

    Muhammad Shehada, a Gaza-based political analyst and writer, called Machado a “genocide supporter” for her alliance with Israel’s far-right Likud Party.
