Demonstrators set to march in rally for Israel in Washington D.C

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

WASHINGTON (WSVN) –Demonstrators are preparing to hold a march for Israel in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. At the National Mall, a stage has been set up as final preparations are underway. The Jewish community, both in the U.S and in Israel, have different beliefs in regards to how the war should be conducted. The purpose of Tuesday’s rally is to bring those different communities together. “Absolutely, to Jews around the world,” said Robert Berrin, former board chair of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Berrin, however, is an optimist.After years in leadership with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, he said that the attacks of Oct. 7 have rocked every part, every faction of the Jewish community and has compelled a need to unite.“It was hard to believe, it was hard to fathom, and then, as you heard the details, it was horrendous,” he said.Berrin and tens of thousands of others are expected to gather at the National Mall in Washington on Tuesday at at...

Rishi Sunak’s biggest gamble

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

LONDON — With one shock hire and one brutal sacking, Rishi Sunak has re-established his Conservative credentials. Just not the type many in his party wanted to see. On one level, the British prime minister’s dramatic Cabinet reshuffle — executed Monday after a weekend of speculation — made a lot of sense. This was Sunak’s chance to stamp his authority on a ministerial team he partially inherited from his predecessors, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, and create a unit focused on delivering his own electoral message.The unexpected appointment of former prime minister David Cameron as foreign secretary was designed to transmit seriousness, with the added bonus of drawing headlines away from Sunak’s decision to sack his firebrand home secretary, Suella Braverman.In her stead Sunak appointed the calm and affable James Cleverly, who previously held the foreign affairs brief. A number of younger footsoldiers loyal to Sunak received promotions in the ensuing reshuffle. But with...

Leader of Israel’s Labor: Something is ‘very wrong’ on the global left

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

MÁLAGA, Spain — The leader of Israel’s center-left Labor Party says something has gone “very wrong” with the political left around the world, with supposed progressives now aligning themselves with Islamist militants who oppose the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people.Over a month after Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and captured some 240, Israeli officials revised their death toll downwards as Israel wages a retaliatory war against Hamas in Gaza, which has now killed more than 11,000 Palestinians — according to the Hamas-run health ministry.Mass protests have been held in cities across the EU and U.S. calling for an immediate cease-fire, with many using the slogan “from the river to the sea,” regarded by many Jews and Israelis as a call for the annihilation of the state of Israel but by Palestinians and their supporters as a non-violent rallying cry against the occupation. At the protests and on university campuses, some ...

Spanish turmoil hits EU stage as PM’s camp trades blows with conservatives

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

A political struggle over Spain’s future is spilling onto the EU stage as socialist allies of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez hit back at European conservatives, who accuse him of undermining the rule of law in the bloc via an amnesty offer for Catalan separatists.Following months of political stalemate since a July election, Sánchez announced last week he would seek to form a minority government backed by the Catalan separatist Junts party, whose leader Carles Puigdemont has been living in exile in Belgium since leading a failed independence bid in 2017.Sánchez’s willingness to amnesty Puigdemont and other convicted Catalans in exchange for Junts votes has caused an uproar in Spain, where thousands have joined protests called by the center-right Partido Popular. The head of Europe’s conservative parties, Manfred Weber, waded into the fray on Monday, accusing Sánchez of using the amnesty to weaken the independence of Spain’s judiciary. Weber’s center-right camp ...

David Cameron’s shock return divides UK Tories

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

LONDON — David Cameron’s astonishing, global-headline-grabbing comeback has already divided the Conservative Party.In a surprise appointment Monday, Cameron, who served as prime minister of the U.K. between 2010 and 2016, was made foreign secretary in Rishi Sunak’s Tory government.It was the biggest development in a major ministerial reshuffle that saw Sunak sack right-wing firebrand Suella Braverman as home secretary and appoint many of his closest allies to top jobs.Cameron, who resigned after losing the Brexit referendum in 2016, becomes the U.K.’s top diplomat. He has been handed a seat in the unelected House of Lords to allow him to take the job.From Cameron’s perspective, leading the foreign office has obvious appeal as an opportunity to rebuild his battered reputation after having triggered a Brexit referendum that he lost, and facing stinging criticism of his post-government lobbying work.But Sunak’s decision to bring him back in from the cold has provoked sharp disagreement...

Netanyahu: Will he stay or will he go?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:17 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. JERUSALEM — Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid of the centrist Yesh Atid party is doing something that doesn’t come easy to most politicians — he’s avoiding politics.Lapid has so far abstained from joining the handful of other party leaders demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quit. (Even the once loyal Yisrael Hayom newspaper published a column urging he step aside once military victory has been secured.) And the question for most Israelis now, it seems, isn’t whether Netanyahu should go, but whether he should go sooner rather than later.“I’m just running out of creative ways of not answering this question,” Lapid smiled.As a former journalist and amateur boxer, the opposition leader knows how to sidestep trouble. “Since you are here and this isn’t a telephone interview and we are sitting together, which means we have been under the same sirens, let me say: We have soldiers fighting and being killed in Gaza; we have ...
