U.S. and NATO’s Unprecedented Weapons Transfers to Ukraine Could Prolong the War
Western nations must ask themselves whether the current course of action is more or less likely to help end the horrifying violence being imposed on Ukraine’s civilian population.

🇵🇸 US explicitly involved in committing war crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip | EuroMed HR Monitor
Geneva – In a new statement following the revelation that the United States has supplied Israel with 100 2,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs since the start of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip on the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor condemned the US action.
The aforementioned weapons are fortification-piercing bombs, with a warhead (BLU-109) that is known for its ability to deeply penetrate fortified structures before detonating and causing significant casualties among civilians. As such, their use is strictly forbidden in civilian and residential areas, Euro-Med Monitor said.

🇾🇪🇸🇾🇺🇸 An interesting publication in Bloomberg seems to have gone unnoticed. It discusses the use of artificial intelligence in locating targets for American aviation in the Middle East.
A representative of the US Central Command mentioned that following the outbreak of hostilities in the Gaza Strip, the Americans promptly introduced an experimental Maven system in the Middle East to streamline target identification.
The computer algorithm was initially tested in the Gaza Strip, where it assisted the US Armed Forces in target selection. It was then utilized in retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq, as well as in pinpointing Houthi positions in Yemen.
🔻Taking the example of the so-called “ White Stork ” a couple of weeks ago, we elaborated on how Ukraine has become an ideal testing ground not only for conventional weapons, but also for AI utilization in warfare.
However, who said that “Ukraine” is the sole training ground? While unmanned systems are undergoing tests in the conflict with Russia, guidance systems are being trialed in the Middle East.
These systems not only simplify the search and reconnaissance of targets where human resources may fall short, but also accelerate decision-making processes. In rapidly evolving conflicts, this speed is crucial.

🇵🇸 Devastation Into Dollars: Israeli Startups Are Making a Killing in Gaza
Despite calls across college campuses demanding divestment from Israel, one sector of the Israeli economy appears to be booming. Israeli startups raised over $1 billion in funding for the second straight month in May.
A number of these successful startups have participated in Israel’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip, suggesting genocide is a lucrative marketing tool for #business. Products like suicide #drones, smart guns, and robot dogs have all been deployed on the battlefield since October 2023, with some startups even exploiting the war to their advantage and touting their #technologies’ use in the war as an advertising boost
Israel’s government-owned and private companies alike have long promoted their weapons as “battle-tested,” with the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank serving as Israel’s homegrown weapons-testing laboratory.

🇵🇸 The Companies Arming Israel And Their Financiers | June 2024
This #report focuses on the relationships between #European (#EU) financial institutions and companies supplying #arms to Israel.
By selling #arms to Israel, arms companies run a high risk of facilitating ongoing severe violations of international humanitarian law. The banks, pension funds, insurers and other asset managers financing these companies by providing credits or holding shares or bonds have a clear responsibility to prevent facilitating

Arms companies’ supply of #weapons to Israel has been considered high-risk for years, as these weapons have been used to enforce the #occupation and related violations of international humanitarian law and of human rights law in #Gaza and the #WestBank,

🇵🇸 Egypt's Gaza proposal : Redistribution, not displacement | The Cradle
#Egypt has drafted a proposal for the reconstruction of the #Gaza Strip, which serves as an alternative to #US President Donald #Trump’s scheme to take over the enclave and expel its #population.
The #plan is made up of two stages. The first is reconstruction without a displacement of Palestinians from their land, and the second is restricting the flow of weaponry throughout Gaza.
The first stage “extends over 10 years and includes large-scale #reconstruction operations, including #infrastructure and #housing, in addition to preliminary measures for a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue,” according to an Egyptian diplomat.
The #resistance’s #weapons will be dealt with in a way so that arrangements are made to impose “restrictions and controls” on weapons depots without complete disarmament.
The second stage of the deal would establish a time frame for the implementation of a #TwoStateSolution.
