Some of the most senior U.S. diplomats focused on Syria have been abruptly let go from their posts in recent days, sources have said, as Washington seeks to integrate Syrian Kurdish allies with Damascus. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/politics/us-diplomats-syria-damascus-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #syria #middleeast #us
The Israeli military said it was opening another route for 48 hours that Palestinians could use to leave Gaza City as the Palestinian death toll from the nearly two-year war between Israel and Hamas went past 65,000. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/israel-gaza-city-over-65000-dead/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu
Pressured by the U.S., Syria is accelerating talks with Israel regarding a security pact that Damascus hopes will reverse Israel's recent seizures of its land but that would fall far short of a full peace treaty. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/17/world/politics/us-pressure-syria-israel-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #benjaminnetanyahu #syria #us #ahmadalsharaa

After destroying 1,600 buildings & 13,000 tents, #Israel launches ground invasion of #GazaCity
Their other attempts at ground invasions in #Gaza have failed so far. This one probably will, too.
#Palestine Will Be Free is a great blog for news of #resistance.

We're aware we've been asking a lot recently, but we continue to have desperate needs, in Iraq especially.
We are, sadly, largely operating alone there. And right now we are effectively broke, with desperate people begging to be saved.

Israeli strikes in Qatar and Russian drone incursions into Poland have challenged Trump’s claims of global respect and exposed growing doubts among allies about U.S. policy and his approach to international crises. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/14/world/politics/qatar-poland-us-friend-foe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #qatar #poland #middleeast #israel #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #us #donaldtrump

Aside from the individual victims of the attack on Hamas negotiators in Qatar, the main casualty of Israel’s escalation is U.S. credibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/12/world/us-credibility-and-israels-doha-strike/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #qatar #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #us #palestinians
