The Future of the Occupation of the Palestinian Territories after Gaza is an open-access collection that reads like a field guide for citizens, journalists, policy staffers, students and anyone who refuses to look away. It begins from an unflinching fact: that ceasefires and the summit statements did not end the occupation, they reshaped it. The opening chapter states this without rhetorical gymnastics and asks a harder question that too many conversations still dodge. What, exactly, will the occupation look like in five or 10 years if current forces keep pulling in the same direction, and what would it take to bend…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Social Security cost-of-living increase will go up by 2.8% in 2026, which translates to an average increase of more than $56 for retirees every month, agency officials said Friday. The benefits increase for nearly 71 million Social Security recipients will go into effect beginning in January. And increased payments to nearly 7.5 million people receiving Supplemental Security Income will begin on Dec. 31. Friday’s announcement was meant to be made last week but was delayed because of the federal government shutdown. The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for retirees and disabled beneficiaries is financed by payroll taxes…
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A court in Cyprus on Friday sentenced an Israeli businessman to five years for developing and selling luxury apartment complexes in the breakaway northern part of the divided island without permission of the Greek Cypriot owners of the land. The case is one of several where Cypriot authorities seek to bust developers and realtors who illegally make money off Greek Cypriot properties in the breakaway north — lands that their rightful owners cannot access because they are located in the Turkey-backed region. The criminal case also underscores the deeply contentious property rights in Cyprus, which was…
Mikel Arteta referenced “very unusual giveaways that caused transitions” in his assessment of Arsenal’s first-half difficulties in their 1-0 win against Fulham last weekend.The Arsenal manager did not give any names but there were a few he could have chosen from. Gabriel Magalhaes was uncharacteristically sloppy on a couple of occasions. As was Leandro Trossard. Eberechi Eze was another culprit.Eze’s £67m arrival from Saturday’s opponents Crystal Palace prompted an immediate clamour for Arteta to throw him into his team. Understandably so. He is of course a gem of a player. He has rightly earned praise for some of his early…
Upstairs in my father’s house in Gaza’s Tel al-Sultan neighbourhood, an Israeli-designated “safe zone” west of Rafah city, I remember seeing my son, Abdullah, just a few months before his 13th birthday. On that day in late 2023, not long after the war erupted, he was in the kitchen making a cup of tea. In his hand was a packet of salted biscuits he had just bought from a local shop. He said to me: “Dad, do you want to share it?” I replied: “Thanks, my love. I prefer sweet biscuits in the morning.” “But you’ll like these,” he said.…
In the summers, the sky is jet black when Raul Cruz arrives at this Imperial Valley sugarcane field to start his day. He chops, cleans and bundles the crop, taking heed as the sun rises. It’s hard work, but so is starting at 4 a.m., even though he knows it’s the safest thing when temperatures in this California desert frequently soar into the triple digits.“We just have to because we need to beat the heat,” said Cruz, who’s worked here for 15 years. They finish work by 9 or 10 a.m. to avoid the risk of heat stroke, he added,…
