‘Openly announcing apartheid’: Israel advances East Jerusalem settlement plan

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says move aimed at ‘burying’ idea of Palestinian state

Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has advanced plans to build a settlement in the E1 area surrounding East Jerusalem and derail the creation of a Palestinian state.

The minister said on Thursday he would approve tenders for more than 3,000 housing units, effectively splitting the occupied West Bank in two.

Settlement expansion in occupied West Bank at highest since 2017, UN report says

The expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is at its highest level since at least 2017, when the UN began tracking the data.

In 2025, “plans for nearly 47,390 housing units were advanced, approved, or tendered, compared with some 26,170 in 2024″, said the report, according to a report by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, seen by AFP.

Israel’s security cabinet approves 19 more settlements in occupied West Bank

Israel’s security cabinet has approved 19 more settlements in the occupied West Bank, bringing the number granted permission the past three years to 69.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a settler himself, revealed the latest proposal had been passed after pushing it through the cabinet. Mr Smotrich openly says the new settlements will prevent a Palestinian state from establishing itself, something critics also decry. The 19 include two from which Israel withdrew in 2005.

The Great Betrayal: The Colonisation of Bharat by India

It is a long, tongue-twister of a name for a government scheme – ‘Viksit Bharat—Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)’. It is even more torturous to read if you are not a Hindi speaker.

This is the name of the new scheme, which will replace the two decade old Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or MNREGA. Claimed to be an improvement over its predecessor, it is in fact a calculated dilution of the most critical lifeline for India’s rural poor

Exclusive: Who is Mullah Shirin, the Taliban governor of Kandahar?

Mullah Shirin, the Taliban governor of Kandahar, has become one of the most powerful figures within the Taliban, wielding influence that in some cases surpasses the authority of their chief minister, multiple sources told Amu TV.

Six sources familiar with the matter said Shirin plays a central role in major decisions, often recommending ministerial appointments before they are formally considered by the Taliban chief minister Hassan Akhund’s office. They added that he manages much of the day-to-day affairs of Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada’s office, making him the closest aide to the reclusive supreme leader.

Haqqani met Akhundzada in Kandahar after criticism: Sources

Taliban Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani met Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada during a visit to the southern city of Kandahar, sources familiar with the matter told Amu TV.

Details of the meeting have not been made public, but the visit came days after Haqqani sharply criticised the Taliban’s style of governance in a speech in the eastern province of Khost on December 12.

La doctrine indo-européenne du combat et de la victoire

Introduction : histoire du texte et contexte

la-doctrine-aryenne-du-combat-et-de-la-victoire.pngLa réflexion qui suit résume l’essai de Julius Evola La doctrine indo-européenne de la lutte et de la victoire et harmonise le ton avec votre traduction. Le texte s’articule autour d’une distinction centrale entre une vision moderne et sécularisée de la guerre et une vision indo-européenne traditionnelle dans laquelle la lutte revêt une importance rituelle, initiatique et métaphysique. Historiquement, l’ouvrage a été publié en italien chez Edizioni del Ar (1970) ; une édition française a suivi chez Pardès (1996). Le matériel s’appuie sur des conférences et des notes développées par Evola dès les années 1940. Dans ce qui suit, l’accent est mis sur le fondement symbolique, religieux et métaphysique de l’action, avec quatre sous-titres thématiques.
