Fueling Israel Gaza genocide

A new report by an international oil research organization says 25 countries have fueled Israel’s Gaza genocide through oil shipments. Oil Change International warned that those states risk becoming complicit in genocide under international law. The report was released at the UN climate summit in Brazil. It said the supplying countries were responsible for over 320 shipments of crude and refined products to Israel between November 2023 and October 2025. The report added that Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan were by far the largest suppliers of crude, accounting for 70 percent of shipments, while Russia, Greece, and the US led refined exports. The US was named as the sole provider of the JP‑8 jet, which is a jet fuel blend designed for military aircraft. The new findings came after a UN Commission concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. The International Court of Justice has also ruled that Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful.

Israel sham trials

A Palestinian prisoners’ rights group says Israeli authorities are trying to mislead global opinion with a show trial of five soldiers accused of raping and torturing Palestinian abductees. The Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies stressed that such abuses are not isolated incidents, but part of a systematic policy backed by Israel’s extremist ministers. It added that Israeli prison conditions are designed to humiliate Palestinians, crush their will, and degrade an entire people by attacking their social and moral fabric. It said the soldiers involved in these violations received direct approval from Israeli leaders, most notably the far-right minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The center said the so-called “trials” are merely cosmetic proceedings, dismissing them as “judicial theatrics” designed to defuse international outrage after the magnitude of the crimes was exposed. It called for urgent legal action against Israeli officials at the International Criminal Court, citing new reports of sexual violence and torture of Palestinians at Rakevet Prison.

Venezuela-US tensions

Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro says the US is orchestrating a campaign to tarnish his reputation and create a justification for a potential military attack on his country. Speaking in a public address, Maduro said Washington has invented an extravagant narrative against Caracas, but it is so false that it easily collapses. He said the US creates such a narrative because it cannot accuse Venezuela of having weapons of mass destruction, and cannot say that it is preparing a nuclear weapon. Maduro also accused US-aligned Venezuelan opposition leaders of openly advocating for the invasion and bombing of their own country. His warnings came amidst the United States’ provocative military presence in the Caribbean. Washington has already acknowledged carrying out lethal strikes on nearly a dozen ships, killing dozens of people, under the pretext that it is fighting drug trafficking in the region.
