Yemen’s Prisoner Swap and the UAE–Israel Project Saudi Arabia Couldn’t Bury | 21st Century Wire
After January 2026, we were told that this decade-long tripartite between the UAE, Israel, and the Yemeni separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) had been dismantled. But how much of that machinery still stands, under new flags and quieter names, waiting for the next round? Since January 2026, the noise has been about “dissolving” the #STC and managing Saudi–#UAE friction, but what almost no one has asked is whether the UAE–Israel island pact, its radars, runways and black‑site prisons strung along Yemen’s southern waters, ever stopped operating, or just slipped under friendlier flags.

Germany’s Military Patronage of Ukraine is a Crucial Part of Its Grand Strategy
Germany’s military patronage of Ukraine is a crucial part of its grand strategy and has been in the making since summer 2023. In brief, former Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s hegemonic manifesto from December 2022 made clear his country’s ambitions to recreate what’s been described elsewhere as “Fortress Europe” in current geopolitical conditions.

🇵🇸 How Israel is using militias and concrete blocks to seize what remains of Gaza
Israeli forces have pushed past the “Yellow Line” that divides the Gaza Strip in half and now control 65% of the territory. Residents call the new border Gaza’s “apartheid wall.”

A German man jokingly called former Chancellor Olaf Scholz a bastard on Twitter because his Fortnite download was crawling at 173KB/s. The tweet had 503 views.
Authorities investigated him for committing a criminal offense (insulting a politician) and he was forced to delete it.
Imagine what would happen if they get their way, ban end-to-end encryption, and monitor all of your private messages.

🇱🇧 Meet the Lebanese rescue workers being targeted by Israel
In a report from Southern #Lebanon, The Grayzone’s Wyatt Reed met with members of Nabatiyeh Rescue, who were repeatedly targeted by Israeli drone strikes as they attempted to rescue the victims of Israel’s ongoing military assault.
Wyatt spoke to crew’s chief, Captain Muhammad Sulaiman, who watched as his 16-year-old son, Joud, was killed by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver food to civilians in the war zone just two months prior.

🐓 France is adding €36 billion to its defense budget through 2030, bringing the total to €449 billion
Key focus: munitions stockpiles (drone inventory up 400%, Scalp cruise missiles up 85%), air defense, and a nuclear warhead expansion.
Annual spending hits €76.3 billion by 2030 nearly double 2017 levels.
@ukraine_watch
footnote : This resurgence of tension over energy prices is hitting a french society already at its breaking point:
according to a study by INSEE, published on Wednesday, April 15, 13.5% of the population (or about 9 million people) now live in a situation of material and social deprivation. A record level in twelve years that paints a picture of France where work is no longer enough to protect against social exclusion and where social inequality is becoming a systemic risk for consumption."

Russian Firm Introduces New Anti-Drone Laser System (Photos)
Russian company Inferit, part of the Softline investment and technology holding, on May 19 unveiled an anti-drone laser system on the sideline of the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia, CIPR, in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
The company told TASS that the system, developed by its security division, can detect drones at a distance of up to three kilometers and measures the speed, coordinates, and range of the target. The laser then either blinds or thermally destroys the drone, with stated ranges of up to one kilometer.
The system has a basic configuration: a 3 kW laser module with a planned output of 12 kW, a thermal imager.

"Copter-type UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are hit with over 90% precision," the developers noted, adding that the system operates continuously for up to 100 seconds, of which approximately 5-6 seconds are devoted to the actual attack.

The Economist doesn't usually use the word "apocalypse" lightly. The fact that they put it on the cover with that illustration means that the topic has moved from academic debate to the mainstream financial world in the Anglo-Saxon sphere.
This is no longer alarmism from popularizers: it's the magazine that the #ECB, the #IMF, and the boards of directors of the world's major companies read.

🇵🇸 Israeli forces opened fire on activists aboard the #Girolama vessel, one of the ships in the #Gaza-bound Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla, during a live broadcast by Turkish activist Omer Aslan. The incident took place in international waters in the Mediterranean before communication with those on board was lost.
Organisers later said all vessels in the aid convoy had been illegally seized by Israel.
