Today, two different Arab artists announced that they were postponing their US tours due to difficulties in obtaining visas: Egyptian rapper and trap artist @Wegzkrofficial and Palestinian singer and rapper @saintlevant.

Both have done tours in the United States previously.

Extremist Israeli minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was filmed in front of a new hanging facility being built, where Israelis will be invited to watch executions of Palestinian prisoners from viewing booths.
Rights groups say the far-right minister is turning executions into public spectacles of political vengeance.

2/2 As Eldar Mamedov notes, this is an opportunistic move to target #Türkiye using the same playbook applied to #Iran for decades. The goal isn't historical truth; it's weakening Ankara to advance #Israeli hegemony in the Middle East.@EldarMamedov4

British foreign correspondents could be at risk of prosecution if they use sources within state-backed groups in countries such as Iran under national security legislation being rushed through parliament this week.

David Anderson, a former UK independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has warned that unless the bill is amended it could accidentally pull journalists working in danger-zone countries into prosecutions for terrorism.

Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike earlier this month, family and friends say.

For more than 20 years she was a dedicated & stubborn protector of Lebanon’s sea turtles.

She had stayed at her home on the beach in Mansouri, southern Lebanon, despite the war.

I had the privilege of interviewing her in 2017 when she was resisting the construction of a beach resort backed by powerful local players.
