🇫🇷🇮🇱 France’s foreign disinformation watchdog says it suspects Israeli influence firm BlackCore of carrying out digital interference operations not only in France’s March local elections, but also in New York City’s 2025 mayoral race and elections in Scotland, as well as in Angola and Togo.

French authorities previously linked BlackCore to an online smear campaign targeting three pro-Palestine candidates from the France Unbowed (LFI) party. Officials now say their investigation indicates the group deployed similar online influence operations in multiple countries.

France has asked Israel for explanations and assistance in determining who may have been behind the alleged campaign. Reuters reports it remains unclear who directed the alleged interference.

⚡️ Drop Site News has published for the first time the full Cable I-0678 — the classified Pakistani diplomatic telegram dated March 7, 2022, that Imran Khan has cited as evidence of a U.S.-backed conspiracy to remove him from power.

The cable, sent from Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington to the Foreign Secretary in Islamabad, documents a luncheon meeting between Ambassador Asad Majeed Khan and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu.

According to the cable, Lu told the ambassador that Washington’s grievances with Khan’s government could be set aside if Khan were removed through a no-confidence vote. “I think if the no confidence vote against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington because the Russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the Prime Minister,” Lu said, per the cable.

“Otherwise, I think it will be tough going ahead.”

In his own assessment, the ambassador wrote that Lu “could not have conveyed such a strong demarche without the express approval of the White House” and had “spoken out of turn on Pakistan’s internal political process.”

The cable was marked Secret, No Circulation, and distributed to Pakistan’s Secretary to the Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Chief of Army Staff, Director General of the ISI, and the Director of the SSP Section.

Khan was removed via no-confidence vote on April 9, 2022, six weeks after the meeting. He has been imprisoned since 2023, and has been held in solitary confinement since last year.

Today marks 78 years since the Palestinian Nakba — the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in '48 by Zionist militias such as Haganah, Stern, and Irgun.

Over 70 massacres were carried out, 85% of Palestinian land was lost, and 800.000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes.

The U.S. military is only investigating a single civilian harm allegation in Iran despite hitting more than 13,000 targets, a top military official has said.

Airwars' Emily Tripp told The New York Times the military's response was "pretty ridiculous"

The Philippine Senate did not just protect Senator Bato Dela Rosa, who is wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. This is a deliberate effort to make accountability impossible. Shame on the senators for dragging PH democracy through the gutter.

A 12-hour running gunfight should leave plenty of evidence: spent casings, trampled paths, bloodstains, bullet holes in trees or structures. These should have been documented by now.

🚨Israeli Settlers Barricade Themselves In A Building In Syria, Demanding They Be Allowed To Create A Settlement There

This is how settlers begin to form outposts, that are later approved as settlements. The incident occurred in the outer skirts of the town of Hader.

A West Bank style occupation appears to be developing in Syria, as the regime refuses to resist & allows more of its territory to be seized.

Dozens of Palestinian children have been unable to go to school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this week because of a barbed-wire fence villagers say was put up by Jewish settlers across the path they normally use https://t.co/Jiz5eDlsDu

Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74%

Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8%

Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews

It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!

The Feb. 13 U.S. military boat strike killed 3 Lucian fisherman. SOUTHCOM bombed 3 more boats in the Caribbean and Pacific this week. Fisherfolk orgs say the strikes come as the Eastern Caribbean prepares for the peak of tuna season. It is their livelihood, now they fear death.
