Green Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have backed urgent demands for the British government to track and monitor UK citizens who took part in the genocide in Gaza. An open letter spearheaded by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians urges London to place returning dual nationals under strict secondary screening at ports of entry to ensure robust war crimes investigations.

Around 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals have actively participated in the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.

Signatories of the letter, including prominent lawmakers Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, warned that potential war criminals are reintegrating into British public institutions, including schools and hospitals, posing a direct threat to the public and the local Palestinian diaspora.

The grassroots push comes amid a total refusal by London’s Metropolitan Police to investigate a detailed 240-page dossier exposing 10 British nationals implicated in the targeted killings of civilians and aid workers. Activists maintain that tracking is a necessary measure given the UN and international human rights bodies’ findings that Israel is perpetrating a live genocide.

Predictably, Zionist lobbying groups and Conservative Party officials have slammed the initiative, accusing its organizers of stoking division and anti-Semitism. Polanski’s office forcefully hit back at the criticism, reiterating that the British government has a legal obligation to act against any citizen complicit in the well-documented atrocities.

A Lebanese military tribunal has sentenced two expatriates to 15 years in prison in absentia after convicting them of collaborating with Israel and inciting military aggression against Lebanon, according to sources speaking with L’Orient-Le Jour.

A judicial official confirmed on Friday that the trial, which began in November 2024, concluded with the harshest sentences handed down to date against collaborators with Israel. In Lebanon, any form of contact or collaboration with the Israeli state carries severe criminal penalties under Lebanese national security laws.

The state prosecution targeted Paris-based university professor Ahmed Yassine, who commands a YouTube audience of over 140,000 subscribers, alongside ‘activist’ Joumana Gebara. Yassine was convicted of feeding intelligence to the Israeli military by falsely claiming that Hezbollah stored weapons depots beneath the UNESCO-listed historic Baalbek Citadel, deliberately inviting Israeli airstrikes on the cultural heritage site.

Meanwhile, Gebara was convicted of publicly praising Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee, celebrating the destructive bombing campaigns across Lebanon, and actively lobbying for normalization with Israel during the height of the 2024 war on Lebanon.

The unprecedented sentences come as Lebanese authorities aggressively crack down on espionage networks and domestic informants amidst an ongoing Israeli attacks that have killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon since early March.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, declared on Thursday, that his forces are fully prepared for any round of military escalation or sudden developments within the current regional war.

Speaking in a televised address on the group’s Al-Masirah TV channel, Abdul Malik al-Houthi emphasized that the region is passing through a critical stage requiring a high level of strategic awareness and responsibility. He also stressed that Ansarallah remains in full coordination with its allies across the Axis of Resistance regarding ongoing developments in both Palestine and Lebanon.

He noted that this joint coordination is actively pushing back against an unjust and aggressive US measures designed to secure Israeli hegemony in the region. The Yemeni leader concluded his speech by issuing a sharp warning to regional Arab states, cautioning them against allowing the US to drag them into proxy fighting that solely serves Israeli interests.

The warning comes alongside official statements from Sanaa reaffirming its total support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah and asserting that armed resistance remains the only effective path to roll back Israeli expansionism.

The UN said on Friday that it is significantly increasing the amount of funding it is seeking to address rapidly growing humanitarian needs in Lebanon.

“In the past three months, communities across Lebanon have faced an appalling situation due to the escalation of hostilities,” UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Imran Riza said.

“The toll on civilians is alarming and worsening by the day.”

The UN said it will issue a new joint appeal with the Lebanese government for an additional $331.5 million to assist 1.4 million people, raising the overall funding requirement to $639.9 million. As of 31 May, the appeal had secured $185.9 million in contributions.

According to an exclusive report by the Hebrew section of Tasnim News Agency⁠, citing a senior Resistance-axis security source, UAE adviser Anwar Gargash allegedly cooperated with Mossad through a “renewable energy” company established by Mossad as a front and later opened in Abu Dhabi.

The source said senior Emirati officials, especially Abu Dhabi’s leadership, knew the company’s true role, though it was concealed from the public and some political figures.

Gargash reportedly used the company’s offices to meet Mossad officials and coordinate political agendas. Through this cover, a network of 17 influential Emirati sheikhs and businessmen was reportedly formed and later expanded.

The source also said Gargash helped Israelis identify Iranian commercial activities in the UAE for Mossad in exchange for intelligence on Yemen, with the information later passed to the US Treasury Department.
