Tohle jednoduše není legální. Nic z toho, co Izrael svým sousedům dělá není legální. V Palestině, v Sýrii, v Libanonu. Nic z toho není legální, legitimní, morální či obhajitelné. Izrael je zdivočelý stát.

Middle East crisis live: Red Cross ‘outraged’ as Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill at least 254; strait of Hormuz impasse continues

As Israel attacks on Lebanon continue, Abbas Araghchi points to announcement that says ceasefire includes Lebanon while JD Vance says US never promised that * Middle East ceasefire in serious doubt as Israel assaults Lebanon and Iran blocks oil tankers * Will shipping in the strait of Hormuz – and oil prices – return to normal? Welcome to the Guardian’s continuing coverage of the US-Israel war on Iran. The fragile two-week truce between the US and Iran was hanging in the balance on Thursday, with Tehran threatening to resume hostilities as Israel launched a major bombardment of Lebanon, killing at least 254 people, according to Lebanon’s Civil Defence. Iran announced alternative routes for ships travelling through the strait of Hormuz, citing the risk of sea mines in the main zone of the vital waterway. The statement shared instructions for an alternative entry and exit route through the strait. The Trump administration on Wednesday stated Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire deal, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming “that has been relayed to all parties”. The US vice-president, JD Vance, also told reporters in Budapest that the US never promised to include Lebanon in the ceasefire, and that Iran may have been under that impression due to a “misunderstanding”. Israel announced on Wednesday it did not consider Lebanon covered by the Iran-US truce. Karoline Leavitt also dismissed “misreporting” that Trump is working from the original 10-point plan put forward by Tehran. She said the 10-point plan presented in public by Iran was “literally thrown in the garbage” by Trump – despite the fact Trump said on Truth Social that the US received a 10-point proposal from Iran that is believed to be a “workable basis on which to negotiate”. Leavitt claimed Iran actually put forward a “more reasonable and entirely different and condensed plan to the president”. French president Emmanuel Macron said he has urged his US and Iranian counterparts, Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian, to include Lebanon in the ceasefire reached with Iran. Australia’s foreign minister has urged the same. Donald Trump vented his frustration with Nato during a private meeting with its secretary-general, Mark Rutte, as relations in the alliance reached a crisis point. “He is clearly disappointed with many Nato allies, and I can see his point,” Rutte said on CNN, after spending more than two hours at the White House. “This was a very frank, very open discussion, but also a discussion between two good friends.” Sir Keir Starmer will continue his tour of the Middle East on Thursday after he met with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, as part of ongoing talks with allies to give shipping the “confidence” to pass through the strait of Hormuz.

Iran is "now dead", declares Trump. Gone are the pretences about saving the Iranian people. My hypothesis? Trump thought, after assassinating the Supreme Leader, grateful Iranians waving US and Israeli flags would install a pliant leader. They didn't, so he's furious at them.

It's amazing to me that there are still people who think they can be pro-Ukraine and pro-Israel at the same time. This is from Netanyahu's 2019 campaign, 5 years after Russia annexed Crimea. Keep on deluding yourselves that you can be moral on one cause and immoral on another.

Danuše Nerudová šíří, že dívčí školu v íránském Minabu, vybombardovali Íránci. Chce se mi zvracet.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

That’s over a million people. Lebanon has 5-6 million people in total. We’re one of the smallest countries in the world, and Israel is rendering Lebanon’s agricultural areas uninhabitable by ethnically cleansing its people, spraying its land with herbicides and obliterating everything else.

"We call for full respect of international law," said EU spokesman for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in regard to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which were not approved by the United States Congress or United Nations Security Council.

The number is now 40. Imagine the response to a mass shooting that killed 40 kids at school. But this is an act of self-defence.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

On the "boots on the ground" question and Trump saying that it will mainly be about protecting oil operations. Given this framing, we should expect a massive payday for politically connected mercenary companies, who will use this to expand their private armies.

There's your Nobel Peace Prize winner, btw. Hats off to everyone involved. Great job.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Enter 2026; where a lawless international order is being determined by the United States. Looking forward to strong condemnations by our European leaders.

The reputation and prestige of the FIFA peace prize is now in shambles

She’s not wrong as Israel would exterminate them just as Israel exterminates everyone. It’s the same stupid argument for the past decade. These people think that Queer Palestinians don’t exist, that they’re not also being starved to death and bombed from the skies by that genocidal state.

Charley Kirk, who previously said gun deaths are "worth it" to protect the Second Amendment, was himself shot while answering a question about gun deaths during a tour called "Prove Me Wrong." This may be the most American thing to happen in years.

Keir Starmer will be remembered as a disastrous, despised prime minister who facilitated genocide. That is it. And one day he will be made to answer for his role in drowning Gaza in oceans of blood.
