On Palestinian Prisoners' Day, observed annually on April 17, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs released alarming figures on the escalating scale of "Israel's" mass detention of Palestinians as of early April 2025. The number of Palestinian political prisoners held by the Israeli occupation has exceeded 9,900, not including thousands abducted from Gaza and subjected to enforced disappearance.

Harley Schlanger on Trump vs. Biden policy, Europe's weakness
In an exclusive interview for Al Mayadeen, Harley Schlanger, a spokesperson for the Schiller Institute, dives deep into Trump’s firing purge and his growing divergence from Biden’s NATO policy. Schlanger reveals how Trump’s move to fire key military and intelligence officials, such as Shoshana Chatfield and Thomas Hoff, is reshaping US foreign policy. These firings are part of Trump’s broader strategy to distance himself from the neoconservative wing and shift US policy toward Russia. Schlanger also explains that European leaders are terrified of losing the US nuclear umbrella, and they know they can’t handle a military confrontation with Russia on their own.
