An unlikely answer has been found for who should lead the process of running Gaza after Israel’s genocidal war: Tony Blair.  It was revealed last week that the former British prime minister – a controversial figure in the Middle East, to say the least – was being considered to lead a transitional authority in the enclave.  Haaretz has now published a leaked draft plan of what Gaza would look like under Blair’s initiative. The plan reveals a hierarchy in which an international board of billionaires and businesspeople sit at the top, while highly vetted “neutral” Palestinian administrators are at the bottom. …

This week is the Labour Party conference. I have sent my apologies. I’ll be in South Africa for a Palestine Solidarity Tour, alongside Mustafa Barghouti, the leader and founder of the Palestinian National Initiative. It was South Africa that launched a case against Israel at the International Court of Justrice (ICJ), accusing Israel of genocide.  I had the honour of attending that case. It was a momentous display of international solidarity from a people who know what it’s like to endure – and dismantle – apartheid. At the time of the speech of Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, I…

TORONTO (AP) — Canada’s foreign minister walked a fine line at the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, pushing back at President Donald Trump’s assertions of unfettered U.S. power while trying to avoid provoking her country’s biggest trade partner.Trump famously said at his inauguration that “during every single day of the Trump administration, I will, very simply, put America first.” His ensuing actions have followed suit, including calls to make Canada the 51st state and vows to put sweeping 25% tariffs on Canadian products.He has also derided the U.N., asking before the General Assembly on Sept. 23, “What is the…

Donna Adelson is facing a life sentence for her role in the 2014 murder-for-hire of Florida State University law professor Daniel Markel. Earlier this month, jurors returned guilty verdicts in Adelson’s weekslong trial on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy and solicitation. In a Sept. 25 order, Circuit Judge Stephen Everett rejected Adelson’s attorneys’ arguments that the verdicts weren’t legally justified and that prosecutors relied on speculation and inference to build…

Another defeat for Manchester United, more inevitable and raucous debate about whether Ruben Amorim is the right man for the job. The noise from outside the club is growing, but within the Old Trafford halls of power, the United bosses remain steadfastly patient with the Portuguese head coach.
