Trump Hits Amazon with 50 Percent Tariffs

"Since we seem to again be in a tariff-crazy phase of Donald Trump’s presidency, it is worth explaining the meaning of a tariff so that even Treasury Secretary Bessent, Commerce Secretary Lutnick, and New York Times headline writers can understand what they are. The basic point — contrary to what you read in the paper More

Regional Resistance Factions Respond to the Zionist Aggression in Syria


Regional anti-colonial Resistance factions released statements denouncing the Zionist aggression against Syria.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemns the zionist strike on Damascus, claiming that “israel” is trying to fragment the region through violence. The movement reaffirms solidarity with Syria and supports its right to resist by all means, stressing the importance of Syrian unity.

The DFLP links the attacks to Netanyahu’s regional ambitions, criticizing “israel’s” daily violations of Arab sovereignty. It calls for Arab and international action and warns that the affected peoples will resist with dignity.

Ansarallah denounced the “israeli” strike on Syria as part of a larger imperialist scheme to dominate the Arab and Islamic world. They call for a unified Arab-Islamic response and an end to silence in the face of “israeli” aggression.

Hezbollah framed the attack on Syria as part of “israel’s” long-term plan to dominate and divide the region. It calls for Syrian unity with a unified Arab and Islamic resistance, emphasizing that “israel’s” real goal is total regional subjugation.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command condemned the “israeli” aggression on Syria, emphasizing that “israel” remains the central existential enemy of the Arab nation. The statement affirmed that resistance is the only natural response to the occupation’s crimes, and that national, Arab, and Islamic unity among resistance forces is the most effective defense against “israel’s” plans and normalization efforts. Supporting the resistance, especially in Palestine, is seen as essential to sustaining the struggle and achieving genuine liberation for the land and the broader Arab and Islamic nations.

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns the zionist aggression on Syria as part of a broader U.S.-“israeli” campaign to destabilize the region. It identifies “israel” as the main threat to regional unity and calls for resistance and Arab-Islamic unity to confront its aggression and expansionist plans.

Hamas issued a strong condemnation of the recent zionist aggression against Syria.
The movement stated that this fascist aggression, which led to the martyrdom of dozens of Syrian army, security forces, and civilians, is a blatant violation of international law. Hamas affirmed full solidarity with Syria and called on all Arab and Islamic nations, alongside the free people of the world, to unite and confront this continuous zionist aggression and the occupation’s plans targeting the region’s will and independence.

"In the next earthquake – in Turkey or any other country in the world – one should hope that the IDF rescue units that dare show their faces in a feigned effort to look good and save people will be expelled in disgrace.

This army has lost its right to be hypocritical. An army that shoots rescuers and the starving has lost its moral right to offer help.

No thanks, the world will say. We won't accept help from your hands drenched in the blood of the helpless."

Ansarallah’s Solidarity Blockade Shuts Eilat Port Down, Major Economic Blow to Occupiers


The Zionist economic media outlet The Marker reported that the port of Eilat will completely cease operations starting next Sunday after the city municipality froze its bank accounts due to millions of shekels in accumulated debts.

This development comes as the port has faced near-total paralysis since November 2023, when Yemen imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to the occupying entity, leading to a sharp decline in revenue and a collapse in commercial activity at the facility.

The Eilat Municipality announced that it had frozen the port’s bank accounts due to massive accumulated debts, and according to the Zionist economic outlet The Marker, all operations will come to a complete halt starting Sunday, signaling a total economic shutdown of the port.

The crisis at Eilat Port began when Yemeni forces imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to the occupation, prompting international shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea route, which brought the port’s operations to a near standstill and caused a collapse in its revenue.

The Eilat Municipality stated that the port’s debts had exceeded its repayment capacity, forcing the municipality to take legal action by freezing its accounts following months of declining commercial activity and the port’s failure to pay municipal fees, with Eilat Port being one of the occupation’s most important Red Sea harbors.

Earlier, The Marker revealed that Eilat Port’s revenues had plummeted by 80% in 2024 after ships stopped docking there due to Yemen’s maritime blockade in the Red Sea, which was imposed in support of the Gaza Strip.

Yemen remains adamant in its naval blockade


On Tuesday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed that their forces had successfully targeted a key Zionist military site in the occupied Naqab region using drone strikes.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree emphasized in a July 15 statement that these operations represent a continuation of Yemen’s support for Gaza amid the war, affirming that military actions will continue without interruption until the aggression ceases and the siege on Palestinians is completely lifted.

“The operations are continuing as part of our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed people of Gaza,” Saree stated.

Yemen’s armed forces have reaffirmed that their Red Sea operations exclusively target ships connected to the Zionist regime or participating in the aggression against Gaza, with recent strikes hitting the Eilat-bound vessel ETERNITY C and intercepting the Magic Seas in Red Sea waters.

The Yemeni Armed Forces released video footage on Wednesday confirming the successful targeting and sinking of the ETERNITY C, a commercial vessel headed toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), on July 9, 2025.

The video, shared by the official Yemeni military media outlet, documents multiple communications made by the Yemeni Naval Forces to the ETERNITY C’s crew.
