The UN does not send peacekeeping forces into Israel to defend Gaza because UN peacekeeping mandates strictly require the consent of the host state and all conflicting parties, neither of which currently exists.

Lebanese graduate Leen Ezzeddine delivered a powerful speech at Harvard Medical School’s 2026 graduation ceremony, reflecting on war, displacement, and the unequal realities shaping access to education and medicine.
She recalled learning medicine in the US while a US missile destroyed her family home in southern Lebanon, contrasting her experience with that of Palestinian and Lebanese medical students forced to study under drones and amid bombed hospitals.
“We were told to stay silent as Gaza unfolded before us,” she said, accusing universities of promoting principles such as health equity and human rights only when they are “politically convenient.”

Ebrahim Azizi, Head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Parliament, wrote in a post on X that US President Donald Trump “should understand” that Iran, “as the victor on the ground,” sets the terms.
He listed the terms as: “cash for cash, credit for credit, and nothing for nothing,” adding that that applies only to issues “actually under negotiation, not to his fantasies.”

Although modern structures of extraction attempt to mask old systems of colonial plunder, the living legacy of anti-colonial resistance across Africa remains a decisive force in the struggle for sovereignty and genuine freedom.

The Western media continues to portray US-Iranian talks as a means for US President Donald Trump to end the war many portray as a “failure” even as the US continues striking Iran amid a “ceasefire.”
The worst part about Western reports regarding supposed US “diplomacy” is that the last 26 years alone of US aggression against Iran prove the US uses diplomacy only to further war on its own terms, not to avoid or end it.
The US is currently managing similar balancing acts of hostility just below the threshold of all out direct war with both Russia and China.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi affirmed that Iran will not allow the Strait of Hormuz to go back to normal until “Lebanon is quiet.”
Professor Marandi highlighted that Iran had to make sure there are no “loopholes” in the agreements and no elements that the US can use to “cheat Iran,” stressing that the agreement has been carefully constructed, “including the parts that deal with Lebanon.”
“When the text comes out, people will see that those have been carefully crafted so that there would be no excuse for the Zionist regime and for the United States to continue the slaughter of women and children,” he said.
