Ex-US spy for Israel calls for Gaza ethnic cleansing as he seeks Knesset seat

Jonathan Pollard, a former US Navy intelligence analyst imprisoned for 30 years for espionage on behalf of Israel, announced his candidacy for the Knesset on a platform calling for "forcible removal of all current residents of Gaza" and Gaza's annexation and repopulation by Israelis, according to Channel 13 television. Pollard, who emigrated to Israel in 2020 after his parole ended, is forming a new political party with Nissim Louk, whose daughter was killed in the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack.

Israeli naval forces detained two humanitarian aid activists—Thiago Avila (Brazilian) and Saif Abu Keshek (Spanish-Swedish)—in international waters off Greece on Wednesday while intercepting a Gaza-bound flotilla; their lawyers at Adalah said they have been threatened with death or 100-year imprisonment, held in solitary confinement under sleep-deprivation conditions, and are now on hunger strike. An Ashkelon court extended their detention until Sunday, while Spain and Brazil condemned the seizure as illegal and Adalah argued Israeli law has no jurisdiction over foreign nationals detained outside Israeli territorial waters.

Google DeepMind workers in the United Kingdom voted to unionize on Tuesday, requesting joint recognition of the Communication Workers Union and Unite the Union, citing concerns about the company's newly announced contract with the US Department of Defense and its provision of AI tools to the Israeli military. The unionization effort, supported by at least 1,000 workers, follows Google's 2024 decision to drop its pledge against developing militarized AI and comes as over 600 Google employees signed an open letter opposing the Pentagon deal.

Galilee String Quartet review – Palestinian ensemble improvise their signature east-west blend

The Galilee String Quartet—Palestinian siblings Omar, Mostafa, Gandhi, and Tibah Saad, formed in 2011 and now based in Paris—performed a programme blending Western classical and Arabic musical traditions, including original compositions by Mostafa and arrangements of works by Fairouz and Asmahan. The ensemble, which was forced into hiatus in 2013 when Omar refused Israeli military conscription and was imprisoned as a conscientious objector, demonstrated their signature east-meets-west approach through improvisation and instrumental fusion, though critics noted the evening felt incomplete in execution.

Israel killing Palestinians ‘like we haven't since 1967’, top commander says

Avi Bluth, head of the Israeli army's Central Command in the occupied West Bank, stated in a closed forum that Israeli forces are killing Palestinians at levels "not seen since 1967," according to Haaretz, and defended looser rules of engagement permitting troops to fire at unarmed Palestinians. Bluth acknowledged a discriminatory approach in which Jewish Israeli stone-throwers are not targeted while Palestinians engaged in similar acts are fired upon, and cited 1,500 Palestinian deaths over three years while questioning why no uprising has occurred.
