This week, Israel’s Defense Minister said Israel would occupy the area south of the Litani River in Lebanon, where hundreds of thousands of people live, and that Shia residents that were forced to leave under Israeli displacement orders will not be allowed to return “until security for Israel’s northern residents is ensured.”
That area is around 8% of Lebanon’s territory and is larger than Bahrain, New York City or Singapore. It is twice the size of Gaza.

US Senators are currently debating the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to advance President Trump’s agenda.
This bill is not a solution to economic inequality or for managing immigration procedures – it is a blueprint for cruelty.
