>> Organizers of a land convoy seeking to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip have reportedly announced their decision to cancel the convoy’s journey after authorities in eastern Libya refused to allow them to cross into Egypt.

>> In a statement on its Facebook page, the group said: “We have been informed by the Libyan authorities that the Egyptian authorities have rejected the licenses requests that we sent to the Egyptian Embassy in Tunisia through all possible legal and diplomatic channels.”

>> “We decided to return to Tunisia and look for other ways to lift the siege” in Gaza, the statement added.

>> ... the convoy “is peaceful and will remain peaceful and we will remain on the spot peacefully waiting” for the release of the detained participants.

>> The last three detained #FreedomFlotilla volunteers, Marco van Rennes, Pascal Maurieras, and Yanis Mhamdi, were released from Israeli detention this morning and have begun their return to their home countries via the Jordanian border…

>> The valedictorian at a west #Ottawa high school says she's been told not to come to school Monday after she made pro-Palestinian remarks during a speech at her commencement ceremony.

>> Her comments on the war in Gaza came at the end...

>> "As a commitment to truth and reconciliation, I must acknowledge colonial and genocidal atrocities today, including the massacre of more than 17,000 Palestinian children in Gaza," ... the crowd cheered.

>> The next day, ... a call from her principal, who said her statements had "caused harm" and told her she shouldn't come to school on Monday.

>> That decision is being criticized by some as going against Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (#OCDSB) policy, and Yao said she stands by her speech.

>> When Gaza's internet flickered back to life after a three-day telecommunications blackout, the first images people saw … of missiles lighting up the sky over Israel…

>> On top of all the contradicting emotions came a sobering realization: This war was not Gaza's. While missiles crossed multiple regional borders, Gaza remained trapped. Aid was still blocked and Israeli airstrikes continued to rain down.

>> As global attention pivoted toward Tehran, Gaza continued to pay a heavy price. In the 48 hours following Israel's initial strike on Iran, the number of Palestinians killed in the Strip exceeded the combined death toll in both #Iran and Israel.

>> The initiative was unveiled during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur by Azmi Abdul Hamid, head of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations (#MAPIM).

Civilian convoy in overland bid to break past Israel blockade (The Continent, 2025-06-15)

https://continent.substack.com/p/civilian-convoy-in-overland-bid-to
———

>> A self-funded convoy of lawyers, doctors, farmers, students and families is winding its way overland across North Africa, heading east from Tunis to Egypt’s Rafah border crossing. Their goal is to break Israel’s siege of Gaza. In the Caravan of Steadfastness are over 1,000 Tunisians and nearly 200 Algerians.

>> … authorities across the region have cracked down on people who have rallied in solidarity with Gaza, or criticised Israel’s war.

>> On Thursday, the convoy was blocked by authorities in eastern Libya, forcing them to camp overnight in the desert ... Egypt’s foreign ministry put out a statement saying that any delegation seeking to approach Rafah needs visas, and to co-ordinate with authorities. Israel’s defence minister also said that if Egypt doesn’t block the convoy, the Israeli army will.

Israel's Own Actions Invalidate All Pro-Israel Arguments (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2025-06-14)

https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israels-own-actions-invalidate-all
------

>> All arguments made in defense of Israel ultimately rest on the unquestioned assumption that the Jewish people must definitely have a homeland where Jewish people are in control, and that this homeland must definitely be in the location that Israel is in right now...

>> But we’ve seen the results of what that premise entails. It necessarily means nonstop violence, tyranny, war and abuse. It necessarily means genocide. It necessarily means ethnic cleansing. How do we know it necessarily means that? Because here we are.

>> So the premise upon which all pro-Israel arguments rest is invalid.

>> Which means all the arguments are baseless.

>> Which means there’s really no good reason to keep maintaining the status quo of modern Israel.
