🔴 BREAKING | U.K. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has released his private WhatsApp and text messages with Peter Mandelson, a close Keir Starmer confidante who recently resigned from the Labour Party amid fallout over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The messages reveal Streeting privately acknowledging that “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” describing Israel’s conduct as “rogue state behaviour,” and arguing it should “pay the price as pariahs with sanctions applied to the state, not just a few ministers”—positions the government has never adopted in practice. The correspondence was shared with Sky News to counter what Streeting described as “smear and innuendo” about his relationship with the disgraced former peer. The full exchange, dated July 24 and July 26, 2025, alongside Streeting’s public comments explaining why he shared the messages and how they relate to government policy on Palestine is below. 👇 STREETING/MANDELSON & PALESTINE: This exchange between Streeting and Mandelson is on the government's approach to the recognition of Palestine. Streeting tells me in the interview on ED: "The thing in there that is tricky for me, given government policy at the time, I was very clear privately with Peter Mandelson at a time when Keir Starmer was going to visit Washington that I felt we were in the wrong place on recognition of the state of Palestine, that we needed to support the recognition of the State of Palestine. And I was clear about where I stood in relation to the government of Israel and it's actions Streeting also told me in the interview he alerted the Foreign Sec that this was coming out: "I have made Yvette Cooper aware of what I've said about Palestine, Gaza, and the conduct of the Israeli government, and I hope that doesn't cause colleagues difficulty because I am and always have been a team player." Here is the exchange in full July 24 2025 Wes Streeting: Am sure this will come up in coming days, so wanted to check in with you on recognition of Palestine and the domestic politics of it. Keir’s statement today was excellent, but Macron’s statement tonight ups the ante. Morally and politically, I think we need to join France. Morally, because Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children. Politically, a Commons vote will be engineered in September on recognition and we will lose it if we’re not ahead of it. There are no circumstances in which people like me or Shabana could abstain or vote against, for example. Conference will be a sea of Palestinian flags and the moderates will be waving them. We need to be leading the charge on this. The alternative is being dragged there with enormous damage to Keir, the govt and the party. I’ve never been a shrinking violent on Israel. I’ve supported LFI for over 20 years. Our sister party, Haaretz, and progressives are clear about what’s being done in their name and they oppose it. I appreciate these things are always more complicated than they appear to those of us who aren’t up close as you are and I also appreciate how much Keir and David are giving to this personally. But it is what it is. We need to lead, not follow. Peter M: I can see all this but I am worried that such a gesture now could blow a 2SS out of the water if Israel decided that unilateral recognition justified further WB annexation which the US would be powerless to stop or reverse. That would be the end of it. So I think we need to employ practical means to get a 2SS, not quickly I grant but realistically. The PA with reform and new leadership can advance this with Arab/US/European support. The alternative is a further deadlocked death spiral on an even greater scale than now. Wes Streeting: Israel is doing it anyway Wes Streeting: This is rogue state behaviour. Let them pay the price as Peter M: I can see all this but I am worried that such a gesture now could blow a 2SS out of the water if Israel decided that unilateral recognition justified further WB annexation which the US would be powerless to stop or reverse. That would be the end of it. So I think we need to employ practical means to get a 2SS, not quickly I grant but realistically.

Wes Streeting: Absolutely. Not shooting the messenger. It’s v helpful in trying to understand what Keir is weighing up as he balances all the risks and considerations that aren’t necessarily obvious to the rest of us - so thank you!

Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A crisis is rapidly developing in Cuba, as the Trump administration’s efforts to block fuel from reaching the island have become increasingly effective since an executive order threatened tariffs on any country trading with Cuba. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has buckled under the pressure and halted oil deliveries to Cuba. Drop Site’s José Luis Granados Ceja reports on the catastrophic consequences of the energy starvation (see link in reply). Meanwhile, back in Washington, President Trump claims that negotiations are underway to resolve the standoff. That, it turns out, is simply false—a lie being told to him by Secretary of State Marco Rubio as part of his ambitious play to overthrow the Cuban government. The story below is by Noah Kulwin, who reported from Havana; Granados Ceja, who reported from Mexico City; and Ryan Grim in Washington DC.

According to the head of the Al-Minya village council, settlers burned copies of the Quran, stole carpets, and cut electrical wiring inside the mosque, then released sheep to graze on surrounding land and trees, causing further damage.

There is mounting evidence of organ theft from Palestinian bodies returned by Israel, according to Gaza health officials and forensic observations. In an interview with Al Araby Television Network, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, said two days ago that Gaza has received bodies and boxes of human remains showing signs of deliberate tampering, including amputated limbs, surgically stitched incisions, and isolated skulls and bones delivered without identification or medical documentation. Abu Salmiya said some bodies bore medical sutures inconsistent with battlefield injuries, raising serious suspicions that organs were removed while victims were in Israeli custody. Gaza has no DNA testing equipment due to Israel’s blockade, forcing medical teams to rely on visual markers, clothing, and photographs—methods largely useless given the severe mutilation and decomposition of remains, the doctor said. Israel continues to withhold information on the identities and circumstances of death, while international mechanisms have failed to compel transparency. Palestinian rights groups warn this pattern, combined with Israel’s long-documented retention of Palestinian bodies constitute systematic violations of international humanitarian law, demanding an independent international investigation.

🚨 Trump Set Nuclear-Only Iran Demand. Netanyahu Flying In to Change His Mind. President Trump said yesterday the U.S. wants one thing from Iran: “no nuclear weapons.” He called recent Oman talks “very good” and said Tehran is “willing to do much more than they would have a year ago.” That breaks with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists any Iran deal must also restrict Iran’s ballistic missiles, end support for regional allies, and fully dismantle Iran’s nuclear program. Iranian officials have already said these demands are non-starters, rejecting curbs on missile production and opposing the total dismantlement of their nuclear program, a matter of great pride for the Iranian government. Now, Netanyahu has abruptly moved up his Washington trip to Wednesday for “urgent” talks, his seventh Trump meeting since January 2025. The Israeli PM is arriving to press Trump to reverse a position the U.S. president has already stated publicly. Any shift now would be a clear retreat under Israeli pressure, making this visit a direct test of who holds power in the relationship.

🇲🇽 Mexican cartels are acquiring .50-caliber ammunition manufactured at a U.S. Army–owned plant in Missouri and using it to outgun Mexican police and attack civilians, according to a joint investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and The New York Times. Since 2012, U.S. agents have seized more than 40,000 rounds of .50-caliber ammunition in border states, about a third stamped with markings from the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. Designed for military use against vehicles and aircraft, the rounds have been linked to cartel attacks that downed helicopters, pierced armored vehicles, and killed Mexican police officers. Lake City began selling .50-caliber ammunition into the U.S. civilian market in 2008, creating a retail stream that traffickers can exploit. When questioned about cartel use of Lake City ammunition, the Army praised the policy for its saving, saying “allowing commercial sales from the plant has saved taxpayers around $50 million annually,” by lowering government ammunition costs. The Trump administration has designated six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations and continues to demand tougher action from Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has described the southward flow of U.S.-made guns as a central driver of cartel activity, noting that roughly 70–90% of weapons seized from organized crime in Mexico originate in the United States. She has argued that security enforcement must run both ways: stopping drugs moving north and weapons moving south. Some steps have been taken to this end. In September 2025, Mexico and the U.S. announced “Operation Firewall,” a joint initiative following a visit by Marco Rubio that expanded firearm tracing nationwide in Mexico and committed Washington to increase southbound inspections to curb U.S.-purchased weapons flowing into the country.

🇨🇺 CUBA | Cuba is bracing for a deepening fuel and electricity crisis as the United States enforces an energy blockade aimed at cutting off oil supplies to the island, President Miguel Díaz-Canel said in nationally televised remarks on February 5. Díaz-Canel said the government will roll out a contingency and defense plan in the coming days to manage fuel shortages affecting food distribution, transportation, hospitals, schools, and industrial production. “It is reprehensible that a power such as the U.S. would adopt such a criminal policy against a country,” he said, describing the measures as deliberate economic suffocation. Díaz-Canel confirmed that Venezuelan oil shipments have not arrived since December, following the U.S. kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and said Washington’s threat to impose tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba has effectively closed alternative routes. The result has been daily, multi-hour blackouts, including recent widespread outages in eastern provinces, further destabilizing the national electricity grid, NBC News reported. Rejecting claims that Cuba is a “failed state,” Díaz-Canel said collapse narratives are being used to justify pressure. “There is no failed state here,” he said. “What exists is a country subjected to maximum pressure for economic suffocation by the world’s leading power.” He stressed Cuba is not at war, but “we are preparing ourselves in case we have to move to a state of war.” He said Havana has received expressions of solidarity from Russia and China, including direct communications between their top leaders. Díaz-Canel reiterated Cuba remains open to dialogue with Washington without pressure or preconditions, and with full respect for sovereignty.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning is invoking Jeffrey Epstein to smear a political rival, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak from Israel’s security establishment who sits to Netanyahu’s left. But Drop Site’s reporting shows Epstein wasn’t just tied to Barak. He helped open doors for Netanyahu too. An investigation by Murtaza Hussain and Ryan Grim documents how Epstein facilitated a 2011 meeting between Netanyahu and senior JPMorgan executives at a decisive moment in Israel’s offshore gas fight, the same day the Knesset was voting on tax rules that would determine the future of the Leviathan gas field. Emails show JPMorgan thanking Epstein directly for securing the meeting. At the time, Netanyahu was using state power to override antitrust law and lock in a gas framework that protected monopoly control and foreign financing. Meanwhile, Barak worked the private side, seeking foreign partners to keep Leviathan afloat, with Epstein acting as an adviser and connector. Netanyahu ultimately forced the framework through by invoking “national security” powers. Netanyahu’s attempt to use Epstein to discredit a rival obscures the record. Epstein moved in the same elite financial and political circles that advanced Netanyahu’s own energy agenda. See new posts Conversation Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu Jeffrey Epstein's unusual close relationship with Ehud Barak doesn't suggest Epstein worked for Israel. It proves the opposite. Stuck on his election loss from over two decades ago, Barak has for years obsessively attempted to undermine Israeli democracy by working with the anti-Zionist radical left in failed attempts to overthrow the elected Israeli government. Barak's personal fixation led him to engage in activities publicly and behind the scenes to undermine the government of Israel, including fueling mass protest movements, fomenting unrest and feeding false media narratives.

🔴 Gaza | Latest updates (Feb. 6) Israeli forces killed at least 3 Palestinians across Gaza on Friday as widespread bombardment, live fire, and demolition operations continued despite the ceasefire entering its second phase, Al Jazeera reported. The Phase Two death toll has risen to 125. Two Palestinians were killed in northern Gaza, one in Jabalia al-Balad and another near the “yellow line” in Beit Lahia, according to medical sources. A third was shot near Israeli-occupied areas in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis. Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex confirmed the killing, the Israeli army offered its familiar pretext of shooting an “armed individual” near the yellow line, without providing evidence. In southern Gaza, Israeli airstrikes destroyed a four-story home belonging to the Abu Hattab family in Khan Younis refugee camp, damaging dozens of nearby houses and displacement tents and injuring at least one person, according to Al Jazeera and Filastin Online. Widespread demolition operations targeted buildings east of the city, as Israeli helicopters opened machine-gun fire toward northern and eastern Gaza. Israeli vehicles also fired heavily in Rafah, and strikes hit Israeli-occupied areas east of Deir al-Balah.

Newly released February 2026 DOJ files show years of direct contact between billionaire Marc Rowan, CEO and co-founder of Apollo Global Management and a Trump appointee to the Gaza “Board of Peace,” and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, undercutting Apollo’s long-standing claims it never did business with him. Emails and call records show Rowan consulting Epstein on Apollo’s internal tax and accounting matters, sharing firm documents, meeting him at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse as late as 2016, and discussing a potential $19m sale of Rowan’s private jet. Rowan took over Apollo after co-founder Leon Black resigned amid revelations he paid Epstein more than $150m. Beyond Wall Street, Rowan is shaping Trump-era higher education policy, backing a donor-driven “compact” critics say coerces universities into adopting pro-Israel political conditions. 📸 Photo/email: Epstein actively pitching himself as a paid deal adviser on Apollo-related transactions. In a January 2016 email, Epstein proposed a 25 percent “success fee” tied to the value generated by a deal, spelling out that he could earn as much as $75 million, and wrote that any arrangement would require sign-off from “Marc and Josh,” referring to Apollo leaders Marc Rowan and Josh Harris.

The attack follows the seizure of four Save the Children vehicles last week. The incident comes amid a rapid deterioration for aid groups in Jonglei. On Feb. 3, a government airstrike hit a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Lankien, destroying its main warehouse, while another MSF facility in Pieri was looted the same day. Escalating violence has displaced some 280,000 across Jonglei, with civilians and aid agencies ordered to evacuate ahead of planned military operations. No Save the Children staff were injured, but vital health care has been cut off in one of South Sudan’s most food-insecure regions.
