Israeli American Holocaust scholar Omer Bartov says Israel’s assault on Gaza predicts “the future of genocide,” with the perpetrator not only enjoying impunity for crimes against humanity but also profiting from the death and destruction.

He says Israeli leaders will almost certainly escape accountability because international allies, including the United States and many European states, have failed to uphold international law.

💢 Palestinian mother Amani Abu Jazar was killed in Gaza today, leaving behind her children, including a seriously ill daughter approved by WHO but still waiting for medical evacuation out of the Strip.

Her daughter is now facing a life-threatening illness and the loss of her mother as Israel’s restrictions on medical aid and medical evacuations leave some tens of thousands trapped without the treatment they need.

🚨 Israel Pushes “Yellow Line” to Gaza’s Main North-South Artery

Israeli forces entered Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood under heavy gunfire, killing Abu Rami al-Khattab, wounding three others, destroying homes and shops, and forcing families to flee. By morning, they had pushed the “yellow line,” the boundary marking the edge of Israeli military control, to Salah al-Din Road, the 45-km artery connecting northern and southern Gaza and passing through every governorate.

“It was a bloody night,” Mohamed Tutah told Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed. “They pushed the yellow line up to here.”

Mohamed Al-Thalathini said quadcopters and shelling surrounded displaced families overnight, forcing women to sleep in the street. “We don’t know where to flee to,” he said.

“Imagine, Salah al-Din Road, which is supposed to be safe, has become completely dangerous,” Fares Tutah said.

Le secrétaire d'État 🇺🇸 Marco Rubio a annoncé vouloir démanteler la Cour Pénale Internationale, "brique par brique".

Pourquoi ? Parce que la CPI - et le droit international - sont les derniers remparts face aux auteurs des crimes. Y compris les plus puissants.

🇱🇧 Lebanon’s Health Ministry says at least 4,230 people have been killed and 12,179 wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2.

Despite last week’s ceasefire, Israeli forces continued operations across southern Lebanon:

➤ The Israeli military dropped leaflets over al-Mansouri ordering residents to “stay away,” the first displacement order issued since the ceasefire.

➤ Troops, backed by military vehicles and bulldozers, advanced from Hadatha toward the outskirts of Haris in Bint Jbeil district.

➤ Israeli forces continued bulldozing and burning homes in Markaba.

➤ Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon extended U.S.-mediated talks into a fourth day after failing to reach an agreement on a partial Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The proposed framework would see Israeli forces partially withdraw from parts of the occupied “buffer zone” and be replaced by the Lebanese army in designated pilot zones.

🇨🇩 How Jeffrey Epstein’s Israeli Network Shaped Congo’s Deadly Mineral Trade

🔸 A Drop Site investigation by Murtaza Hussain and Ryan Grim, drawing on U.S. Justice Department records and hacked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s account, reveals how Jeffrey Epstein and Barak built a business network that combined Israeli intelligence expertise, private military contracting, and access to Africa’s vast natural resources. The emails were obtained through the whistleblower group Distributed Denial of Secrets and independently verified by Drop Site.

🔸 After resigning as Israel’s defense minister in 2013, Barak worked with Epstein to market privatized Israeli intelligence, surveillance, and security services to governments confronting civil conflicts. Emails show Barak drew on his longtime intelligence contacts, including former Mossad chief Danny Yatom, to expand the venture across Africa.

🔸 One classified proposal from Yatom’s firm describes how Israeli intelligence veterans trained a 150-member elite Congolese special operations force during the 2012-2013 war against the Rwandan-backed M23 rebellion in eastern Congo. Yatom claimed the unit’s night raids and special operations helped turn the tide of the war.

🔸 As fighting subsided, the network’s focus shifted from military contracts to business opportunities. Emails show Epstein’s close associate Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of Dubai-based DP World, opening channels to Congolese President Joseph Kabila over investments in mining, oil, gas, ports, and transport infrastructure.

🔸 The investigation places those efforts within a much longer history of foreign governments, mining companies, intelligence agencies, and military contractors competing for influence over Congo’s enormous reserves of copper, cobalt, coltan, diamonds, and other strategic minerals. By 2018, Epstein was participating in discussions around U.S. Treasury sanctions targeting Congo’s mining economy, including the holdings of sanctioned Israeli mining magnate Dan Gertler.

🔸 Our report traces those same dynamics into the present. As Washington moves to challenge China’s dominance over Congo’s critical minerals, a U.S.- and UAE-backed consortium is seeking control of major copper and cobalt assets once tied to Gertler. At the same time, Blackwater founder Erik Prince, working alongside Israeli advisers, is helping retrain Congolese special forces to fight M23 around the same mineral-rich region.

🔸 The investigation highlights that while the geopolitical players and technologies have changed, the competition over Congo’s mineral wealth continues. Foreign governments, military contractors, and multinational investors remain deeply involved in the country’s resource sector, while little of the wealth generated by Congo’s vast natural resources reaches the Congolese people.
