Israel kills at least 58 people in Gaza, many at US-backed aid site: Medics
Medics at al-Awda and Al-Aqsa hospitals in central Gaza, where most of the casualties were moved to, said at least 15 people were killed on Saturday as they tried to approach the GHF aid distribution site near the so-called Netzarim Corridor. The rest were killed in separate attacks across the besieged and bombarded enclave, they added. Since the GHF started operations last month, at least 274 people have been killed and more than 2,000 wounded near aid distribution sites, according to a statement by the Gaza Ministry of Health.

Israel and US modified F-35s to enable Iran attack without refuelling, sources say
The modification is secret, but two US officials speaking to MEE on condition of anonymity confirmed that Israel did not use mid-air refuelling during its Friday attack on Iran or land their warplanes for refuelling at any nearby countries. Instead, the US officials told MEE that Israel and the US modified the F-35's system to carry additional fuel that did not impact the F-35’s stealth features. The Israeli designation for their version of the F-35s is called the F-35I Adir.

Last night, SOHR sources reported that Israeli forces infiltrate Barika Village in the central Al-Quneitra countryside, as the patrol comprises five 4×4 vehicles. A few hours earlier, Israeli forces set fire to lands in Kodna Town in Al-Quneitra countryside for the second time, near Al-Tel Al-Ahmar Al-Ashraqy, here residents of the town and the General Security managed to control the fire and limit its expansion. On the other hand, Israeli forces infiltrated the outskirts of the town and opened extensive fire in the area, causing fear and panic among the civilians.

'Baltagiya thugs' and police block Gaza aid convoy in Egypt as activists detained
Footage circulated online shows activists near the city of Ismailia being assaulted by men described by observers as "thugs", attempting to prevent them from advancing towards Rafah. The videos have been widely condemned by pro-Palestine groups and rights advocates. The "thugs" in question are believed to be baltagiya, gangs previously used by the Egyptian government to attack its political opponents, though this could not be verified.

Shopper put on facial ID watchlist after dispute over 39p of paracetamol​ at Home Bargains
The 62-year-old woman, who has lost the confidence to go shopping on her own since the incident, according to her family, has made a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office on the grounds that the Data Protection Act requires there to be a “substantial public interest” for the processing of biometric data to be lawful. “She’s really struggling because even to go into Tesco she gets really stressed thinking: ‘Or am I allowed? Would they kick me out?’” her daughter said.

Coordinated protests against tourism levels planned in Spain, Portugal and Italy
Protests are planned in Barcelona and seven other Spanish cities, including Granada, Palma and Ibiza; Portugal's capital Lisbon; and the Italian cities of Venice, Genova, Palermo, Milan and Naples, according to announcements issued by several of the organising groups. Organisers, some of whom dismiss the counterargument that tourism brings jobs and prosperity, told Reuters that they wanted to build on scattered protests across Spain last year with the coordinated day of action.

Nigerian leader’s pardon of executed Ogoni activists draws criticisms
The men were convicted of murdering four local chiefs and were hanged in 1995 by the then-military regime led by Gen. Sani Abacha. They were part of the Ogoni ethnic group in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, and had protested environmental pollution in the region by multinational oil companies, particularly Shell. Their trial and murder sparked international outrage at the time, with rights groups calling it unjust and lacking credible evidence.

Ecuador approves controversial surveillance law
For a moment, it seemed like the controversial law would fail to gain the necessary votes, but in an unexpected turn of events, one of the assembly members of the Correista party Citizen Revolution (RC), David Arias, supported the government’s bill. RC swiftly expelled him from the party for the move. However, National Democratic Action (ADN), the president’s party, was able to approve a law that guarantees and expands its control over information security functions, under the pretext of the security crisis the country is experiencing.

Colombia’s opposition disavows Petro as electoral guarantor, seeks meeting with military
According to Cepeda and his allies, the attempted assassination of far-right Senator Miguel Uribe over the weekend are the result of Petro’s “hate speech” towards the opposition and the business elite. According to Petro, “Colombia is under attack by one enemy, which is called the mafia.” The meeting was also rejected by moderate members of the liberal U Party who said that they were never consulted about any decision to disavow the president and seek ad hoc security guarantees.

Australia: Rich List highlights soaring wealth of billionaires
The 200 wealthiest Australians now control $667 billion, up $42 billion from last year, according to the 2025 edition of the annual Rich List published by the Australian Financial Review (AFR). This amounts to more than 36 percent of Australia’s annual gross domestic product. In 1983, when the first Rich List was published, the total wealth of those included was $4.6 billion, the equivalent of $18.5 billion in today’s money. During this time span, the fortunes of the top 200 increased 7.7 times faster than per capita wealth and 26 times faster than per capita income. “The rich not only get richer, they increase their wealth faster,” stated the AFR.

Winning narrative? How India, Pakistan’s leaders seek cover under their flags after ceasefire
The BJP has already started campaigning on the basis that its government – helmed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – dared to cross a red line, targeting what it says was “terrorist infrastructure” on Pakistani soil. But its strikes may have had the unintended consequence of shoring up support for Pakistan’s military establishment, experts say, months after protests erupted against the jailing of former prime minister Imran Khan.

Trump’s AUKUS review puts Australian nuclear submarine deal in doubt
The Trump administration has provoked consternation in the Australian political and military establishment after this week announcing a Pentagon review of plans under the AUKUS military pact to sell Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines to Australia. It puts the Australian Labor government under great pressure to make major concessions to the US as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese flies to Canada for the G-7 summit and a possible meeting with Trump.

ICE ordered to pause most raids on farms, hotels and restaurants
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has directed immigration officials to largely pause raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, according to an internal email reviewed by Reuters, a senior Trump official, and a person familiar with the matter. The order to scale back U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids came from Trump himself, the person familiar with the matter said, and appears to rein in a late-May demand by top White House aide Stephen Miller for more aggressive sweeps.

CIA Democrat wins New Jersey nomination for governor
Representative Mikie Sherrill won the Democratic nomination for New Jersey governor Tuesday, defeating five rivals thanks to heavy fundraising and political support from the bulk of the party establishment. She will face Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator who narrowly lost a previous gubernatorial race in 2021. Sherrill’s victory means that in the two main statewide elections of 2025, for the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia, the Democratic Party is nominating candidates drawn directly from the military-intelligence apparatus—what the WSWS has characterized as the “CIA Democrats.”

For Media, Unruly Protesters Are Bigger Problem Than Trump’s Police State
In the early morning of Friday, June 6, several federal agencies carried out militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles (Al Jazeera, 6/7/25). Armed and masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI and DEA, tore through these neighborhoods in unmarked vehicles, carrying out a new method of targeted raids in workplaces like Home Depot, Ambiance Apparel and car washes (Washington Post, 6/8/25, 6/12/25, LA Times, 6/10/25). Later that morning, demonstrations formed in front of the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and Metropolitan Detention Center, where detainees were believed to be held (Al Jazeera, 6/11/25). Protests grew exponentially over the weekend, spreading not only across California, but also to major cities around the country (Time, 6/9/25). In response, without state authorization, President Donald Trump federalized and deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to LA to “solve the problem” (CNN, 6/9/25). California Gov. Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass and other government officials have called this an unprecedented show of force and an abuse of executive power, intended to intimidate and terrorize local communities (Atlantic, 6/10/25; CNN, 6/9/25).

The City of Salem Told Them They Deserved a Roof Instead of a Tent. Some Ended Up With Neither.
Salem, MA — Two winters ago, Maria Nolasco moved into a sprawling homeless encampment in Salem, Massachusetts for seven months. Though there wasn’t much order or respect — and many didn’t like the small, 45-year-old Dominican woman — she liked her little tent. “We called it houses because that was home,” Maria said. When she first arrived, there had been just a couple houses. She had watched Tent City, as locals coined it, grow into a community. But it didn’t last long. On June 26, 2024, local police and public service workers removed Maria’s tent, along with over twenty other tents that at one point housed at least forty of Salem’s homeless. Following extensive police pressure, most residents had already left, some to the woods — where many still are to this day — or to other more discreet locations. But not Maria. She had stayed to the bitter end. From her still-standing tent’s couch, she took drags from a cigarette as she watched bulldozers tear up all those little houses, knowing hers was next. Losing her tent was a pain worse than losing her apartment, the sleep-deprived, reddish-grey haired woman with defined black bags under her eyes told me. “I was making sure that everybody was out,” she said, “Me? I was happy there.” Maria’s tent was filled with the belongings she had kept since she’d been evicted. She lost them when her tent was swept and hasn’t seen them since, but that outcome didn’t surprise her. Maria was one of over 29,000 homeless individuals in Massachusetts last year, which represents an over 50% increase from the year before and the fifth highest individual count in the country. “We’re nobody,” she said, “The homeless people are nobody. Worse than a trash barrel. That’s how they see us.” Like cities and towns across the nation, Salem had developed its very own homeless encampment problem. State and local officials have long held Massachusetts, just as much of the rest of the country, is in an affordable housing crisis (it is estimated about 440,000 units short). More than 30% of renter households in the state are estimated to be extremely low income, and Salem’s cost of living is estimated to be 1.5 times the national average “Some people might have mental health issues, they don’t want to be on the streets, people with addictions are also not wanting to be put on the streets,” said Robyn Frost, executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. “Having said that, there is no places for people to go. All the shelter spaces are full, and it does force people to make the most difficult choice of living on the streets.”

Peter Kropotkin.: War or Peace?
Next Sunday the workers of all nations are going to make an important peace demonstration, and they are sure to well represent in this case the opinions of the workers all over the world. But who are those who want war? Whose war-cries resound every day in our ears? Who will be conspicuous by their absence at the international peace gathering of the workers?—the ruling classes! Always they have been the instigators of wars in times past, and so they are up to the present time. In times past it was the kings who waged wars in order to re-fill their cash boxes, to distribute new provinces amongst their “war companions,” to give “occupation” to the gang of robbers, drunkards, and gamblers of whom their following was composed. It was the wizzards, the witches, and the high priests who, pretending to be in direct intercourse with supernatural forces, promised the support of the gods for war as soon as they saw that war would increase their powers upon men or accrue to their wealth: It was the noble lords of the land—smaller kings themselves—who made of war their profession, in order to always get new slaves or serfs, and to better enslave those whom they possessed of old. And so they went on–the Triple Alliance of those times—sacking and burning, killing and plundering the peasants and the artisans within and without the borders of their own countries. The peasants and the artisans, on the other hand, did always all in their powers to escape from the war obligations, and to stay at home while they were ordered to join the armed bands. They cursed war when it was successful for their rulers, and they cursed it when it was unsuccessful and brought the enemy upon their fields and in their houses. They started immense secret unions to resist war and to prevent it, and as soon as they felt in force the peasants besieged the nests of war–the castles—and destroyed them when they could; while the artisans erected walls around their towns and prohibited their access to any armed man—robber, lord, or king. They joined immense conjurations maintaining “God’s peace,” and later on, at the beginning of the Reform, they started widely spread religious movements to oppose war. And when those movements had been defeated and the peasants had been massacred, the survivors started in Moravia and elsewhere their communities, in which scores of thousands of peasants and artisans joined, taking the oath of never unsheathing the sword; and they prospered in those communities until these Communal houses were pillaged and destroyed by the triple alliance of King, Church, and Lord.
