#Palestine / U.S. ambassador Huckabee interferes in Israeli politics
U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, reportedly pressured senior ultra-Orthodox politicians to maintain the current right-wing government.
Huckabee emphasized the importance of government stability for addressing the Iranian issue and stated that Washington would struggle to support #Israel (manifestly imppossoble to deny it is indeed a client state of the U.S.,) during an election period.
Huckabee also declared that establishing an independent Palestinian state is not part of U.S. policy in the Middle East.
Hebrew zoha.org.il/137926
Huckabee is a Christian Zionist. He advocates for full Israeli sovereignty over territories such as Gaza and the West Bank, reflecting his theological view that supports Israel’s biblical claims. He has led numerous tours to the Holy Land and developed close ties with Israeli political and religious leaders over decades.

One way or another, I think UK data protection inadequacy is coming.
The EU politicians have a track record of getting this wrong and I anticipate the CJEU will play a part.
Perhaps like this...
1. The Data Privacy Framework for adequacy between the EU and US falls.
2. The UK maintains its Data Bridge adequacy arrangement with the US.
3. The EU feels compelled to protect its citizens from the risks of onward transfers of their personal data from the UK to the US.
4. Bye bye to the EU's adequacy decision regarding the UK.

Police in UK can now take women's phones and check their period tracking app
Several women's health and safety organisations have spoken out against the 'shocking' new guidance, vowing to 'aggressively challenge' it
"New guidance in the UK has handed British police the power to trawl through women's phones if they suspect said individual has undergone an illegal abortion.
As per an announcement made by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) last month, officers investigating the causes of stillbirths, miscarriages and unexpected pregnancy losses will now be permitted access to check menstrual cycle tracking apps.
The alleged aim of the incoming procedure is to 'establish a woman’s knowledge and intention in relation to the pregnancy.'"

With the passing of the UK Data Bill, people are now in less control over how algorithms and AI make important decisions that affect their lives.
We called for additional safeguards around the use of automated decision making alongside trade unions, civil society groups and experts.
This was rejected, meaning it's harder to object when things go wrong.

Despite scandals such as officers accessing the files of Sarah Everard, the police no longer have to record why they're accessing someone’s data on a police database under the UK Data Bill.

The analysis makes it clear that restricting ethane exports is a desperate measure that "inflict more damage on U.S. companies than Chinese competitors" (unlike rare earths in China's case, that can bring complete chunks of the U.S. economy to a halt without hurting China much).

The Palestinian Authority said on Thursday that internet and fixed-line services are down throughout the entire Gaza Strip following an Israeli attack on the last fiber-optic line in the enclave, AFP reports. Communications had already been cut off from northern Gaza the previous day.“The southern and central Gaza Strip have now joined Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip in experiencing complete isolation for the second consecutive day,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that Israeli forces are preventing repair teams from reaching the site of the attack.
“Only people who have e-sims have access to the internet across Gaza,” Gaza journalist Hind Khoudary said on Twitter. “It takes you more than an hour to connect, and another hour to post. But why did Israel bomb the main internet fiber route? Why is Israel insisting on isolating Gaza from the world? So we are now deprived from food, water, electricity, and internet.”
“Think of all the horrific images you’ve seen from Gaza. Now think of what worse carnage and murderous depravity Israel must be inflicting now to cut off the internet,” tweeted journalist Sam Husseini of the news.
Indeed, this latest move comes amid a particularly egregious spike in mass atrocities from the Zionist entity. Israeli forces just killed 120 people in a single 24-hour period and injured hundreds more, with scores massacred while seeking food from Israel’s notorious “death trap” aid distribution sites. Israel has been massacring starving civilians desperately seeking aid on a near-daily basis in Gaza over the past two weeks.
Israel is continually seeking out new ways to obstruct the world’s visibility into what’s happening with Gaza. That’s why they’ve been assassinating journalists who live in Gaza at a historically unprecedented rate while banning journalists outside Gaza from entering. It’s a nonstop war against visibility and truth, because Israel thrives on lies and darkness.
It has driven the Israelis mad that their global support is being eroded by Palestinians recording their own genocide and broadcasting the footage to the world. If they think they can get away with keeping Gaza in the dark they absolutely will do so, while continuing to seek out further ways to hide the truth from the world.
