    The Hind Rajab Foundation on Wednesday filed a complaint in the US seeking a criminal investigation into war crimes and genocidal acts by Adi Karni, a former Israeli army sergeant, during Israel’s war on Gaza, Anadolu reports.

    “This U.S. filing follows earlier complaints filed by HRF in multiple jurisdictions, including Peru, where a formal criminal investigation is already open against Karni for genocide,” the foundation said in a statement.

    It added that the HRF has also submitted filings concerning Karni in several other countries, “as part of its strategy to ensure that jurisdiction is activated wherever he travels.”

    HRF said Karni is currently present in the US and is scheduled to speak publicly at Boston University this evening, “a fact that directly engages U.S. jurisdiction and heightens the urgency of the filing.”

    It noted that the complaint is based on an HRF investigative report reporting that Karni took part in demolishing civilian infrastructure and religious sites in Gaza, was involved in systematic destruction by his unit, and later publicly denied the existence of civilians while justifying attacks on civilian objects.

    “The report concludes that this conduct may constitute war crimes, and, when assessed in its broader context, contribute to the legal elements of crimes against humanity and genocide,” it added.

    HRF added that the filing against Adi Karni forms part of HRF’s broader mandate to “ensure that international crimes are investigated wherever jurisdiction exists, and that no country—whether in Europe, the Americas, or elsewhere—becomes a safe haven for impunity.”

     Green Party leader Zack Polanski announcing Hannah Spencer (left) as the party’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, at Pakistani Community Centre in Manchester, January 30, 2026

    THE GREENS have named a plumber and former Manchester mayoral candidate to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, as Labour trails in what’s being dubbed a “Green v Reform” race.

    Green leader Zack Polanski warned there are “just days to stop Reform” as the hard-right party’s leader Nigel Farage hit the campaign trail in Gorton alongside his own candidate, GB News presenter Matt Goodwin.

    Mr Polanski announced today that 34-year-old Hannah Spencer “will be a brilliant MP” for the Greater Manchester constituency.

    Labour’s national executive committee blocked current Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham last Sunday from running in the by-election, which was called after Andrew Gwynne stood down as an MP, officially for health reasons, after messages came to light in which he insulted elderly constituents.

    The Greens leader described Ms Spencer as someone who “genuinely wants to roll up their sleeves and work for the community,” adding they have “just days to stop Reform and make hope normal again.”

    “This is a crucial by-election,” Ms Spencer agreed. “The choice is clear – Green v Reform. Hope v hate.”

  • Thousands march in Caracas demanding return of Maduro

    THOUSANDS marched in Caracas on Thursday demanding the return of the country’s kidnapped president and his wife.

    President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores were abducted by US forces on January 3 in an overnight raid that saw 83 people, 32 of them Cuban soldiers, killed.

    The demonstration, called by the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), called for “respect for our sovereignty and the immediate release of the presidential couple.”

    It followed a briefing to the US Senate by Washington’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday, in which he threatened Venezuela with further attacks should it defy US instructions.

    PSUV mobilisation secretary Nahum Fernandez declared: “We denounce their vile kidnapping and tell the world: we want them back! Maduro, hold on! The people support you!”

    Mr Fernandez said the PSUV was consulting “social movements, political organisations, grassroots leaders and the people” with an aim toward “permanent mobilisation” against external threats.

  • Israeli, Saudi officials visit US for Iran talks amid military buildup: Report

    Flags of Israel and Saudi Arabia

    Defense and intelligence officials from Israel and Saudi Arabia are visiting the US this week to discuss Iran amid a US military buildup in the region, Axios reported Thursday, citing sources.

    Gen. Shlomi Binder, the head of Israel’s military intelligence, conducted a series of high-level consultations on Tuesday and Wednesday with top leadership at the Pentagon, the CIA, and the White House, according to two American officials.

    The general’s visit was said to be centered on delivering specific intelligence requested by the Trump administration, including data on potential strike targets within Iran.

    In contrast, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman is expected to emphasize diplomatic avenues during his Thursday and Friday meetings with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Department officials.

    Saudi Arabia, who have been passing messages between Washington and Tehran, said earlier it would not allow the US to use its airspace in any attack.

    The diplomatic friction occurs as the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group arrives to finalize a naval “armada” that President Donald Trump recently claimed is “bigger than” the force previously deployed toward Venezuela.

    “The directive at the moment is to prepare,” a US official noted, suggesting that the president is rapidly approaching a final decision regarding military action.

    Neither sides has provided a public information regarding the ongoing meetings reported by the news outlet.

    Trump has called on Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program before it is too late, warning that this time the attack would be “far worse.” The US had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025 during Tehran’s 12-day war with Israel.

    Iran says its civil nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but the West argues it is developing a nuclear weapon. The US has also expressed concerns over Iran’s ballistic missile program.

    The developments come amid recent unrest and protests in Iran over worsening economic conditions due to a sharp depreciation in the local currency.
