📰 The Israeli military has begun preparing to install polling stations in occupied areas of the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria ahead of the general election on 27 October, Army Radio reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir has instructed military officials to facilitate voting for soldiers deployed beyond Israel's internationally recognised borders.

The military will "deploy polling stations deep in enemy territory - within Lebanon, Syria and Gaza - to enable the right to vote for combat troops stationed beyond the borders", Army Radio said.

The broadcaster described the move as "something that hasn't happened in decades", overlooking the fact that Israeli soldiers have long voted at military bases in the occupied West Bank.

📰 “The issue of what role Damascus could play regarding Hezbollah has returned to the forefront, amid a flurry of recent high-level statements.

On Tuesday, the Lebanese movement has - for the first time - publicly expressed its willingness to hold talks with Damascus.

'There is no impediment to a public meeting between Hezbollah and the Syrian leadership at a time considered appropriate by both sides,' said Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem in a televised speech."

Trump says Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a man of hate’ who ‘doesn’t love Israel’

US President Donald Trump said Abdul El-Sayed, the winner of Michigan’s Democratic primary for the US Senate race, is “a man of hate” who “doesn’t love Israel” and is “full of shit” during an event in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

El-Sayed, who is seeking to become the first Muslim US Senator, won the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, overcoming the impact of millions in campaign spending from pro-Israel lobbying groups.

Van Jones says Abdul El-Sayed has ‘opportunity’ to moderate ‘too far’ stance on Israel

US political analyst and media personality Van Jones said Abdul El-Sayed, the winner of Michigan’s Democratic primary for the US Senate race, has “an opportunity” to “reassure” Jewish voters and “back off some of the extreme policies” regarding blocking aid to Israel during a discussion with US Representative Ro Khanna on CNN on Tuesday.

In recent years Jones has sparked controversy with some of his pro-Israel comments. In October last year the commentator apologised after he said on Real Time with Bill Maher that Iran and Qatar are manipulating social media algorithms to change the perspective of young Americans on Israel, joking that most of what they get to see is “dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, Diddy, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby”.

American Muslim scholar, Yasir Qadhi, said Gaza’s largest mass funeral since the war began and Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan are “not unrelated”.

In a post on X, he argued that El-Sayed’s win despite tens of millions of dollars in outside spending signals a growing political backlash against US support for Israel’s war on Gaza and the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups in American politics.

“These two news items are not unrelated. AIPAC and its allies spent a staggering $65 million on Abdul’s opponent, precisely because they wanted to continue using our taxes, our weapons, and our veto power to finance their genocide against Palestinian families.”

📰"Over the past decade, Israel has significantly increased its illegal confiscation of Palestinian land and settlement expansion. Around 750,000 Israeli settlers currently live in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. This expansion is achieved not only through individual acts of violence and terrorism, but more notably with the state’s full financial and military support.

Since 7 October 2023, the West Bank has experienced an extraordinary escalation of settler terrorism, with the full support of the Israeli army. Organised campaigns of settler terrorism, accompanied by substantial state changes to the territory’s colonial administrative and legal structure, have led to the displacement of Bedouins, the spread of pastoral outposts, and the increasing fragmentation of Palestinian communities"

Abdul El-Sayed defends stance against sending US tax dollars to Israel and other governments

During an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, US Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed defended his opposition to sending military aid to Israel.

"I am against it, in large part because I just don't understand why anybody thinks it's the right thing to do to send our tax dollars abroad to fund foreign militaries when our own kids barely get to go to schools that are functional," he said.

El-Sayed added that he opposes sending military aid to any foreign government, arguing that people in Michigan "have a right to their tax dollars".

Has the Ceuta crisis revealed an emerging US-Israel-Morocco alliance?

Speaking to MEE Live's Mathilda Mallinson, Professor Stephen Zunes argues that the political fallout from the Ceuta migrant crisis reflects an emerging nexus between the United States, Israel and Morocco.

Zunes says Spain's outspoken criticism of Israel's war in Gaza and opposition to the US war on Iran left Madrid increasingly isolated as the Ceuta crisis began. He argues that, regardless of whether this was coordinated before the mass crossing, their interests converged in the response that followed.

He traces Morocco's role to the Abraham Accords, under which the Trump administration recognised Morocco's claim over Western Sahara in return for them normalising relations with Israel. This broke with the Arab League position that normalisation should come only after the end of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.

Rats spread among the rubble of destroyed homes and accumulated waste in Gaza

A video posted by videographer Momen al-Moghanni shows rats and other rodents infesting the rubble of destroyed homes and piles of accumulated waste in Gaza.

 
Humanitarian organisations, including the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Save the Children, have warned that severe rodent and pest infestations are affecting more than 80% of displacement sites in Gaza.

They say uncollected rubbish, damaged sewage systems and rising temperatures are driving the crisis, placing thousands of children at risk of bites and disease.
