Thousands of #Israelis are protesting outside parliament ahead of a preliminary vote on a bill that would give politicians greater power over the appointment of judges.

#Israel's #President has appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu to delay a contentious plan to overhaul the country's judicial system, urging him instead to seek a compromise with his political opponents

According to Iranian media, #Germany has asked it's citizens to leave Iran and advises them to avoid traveling there.

Risk for harassments, interrogation and even imprisonment for German and dual national citizens of Germany was sent late last week.

I have to find non Farsi story covering it.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken kicked off a Middle East trip in Cairo on Monday focussed on urging calm amid an escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians.

The disgusting face of hypocrisy. Over 30 Palestinians have died since start of this year, nothing happened until a Palestinian went in and killed 7 Israeli civilians in a terrorist attack.

Suddenly, #Blinken is there to promote calm and to prevent the conflict to escalate.

I'm sure the main reason for his trip is to coordinate military action against Iran and to assure #Netanyahu that no matter what he does, he can always count on unconditional support of US government.

A huge scandal shaking Iranian football.

Stories of a long and horrifying sexual abuse of young children at a football school in city of Mashhad, east of Tehran has shkabe the country and the government authorities who did nothing to stop the abuse even after many people tried to alarm the authorities.

The details of the case is not clear and judging by the reaction of the regime, it seems like some government connected people were also involved in it.

This is a blow to the Islamic Republic's image that has been working hard to portray itself as a government with highemoral values unlike those "corrupt" western societies.

The report mentions that the abuse were on going for decades and were well known among the locals who tried hard to stop this.

It is an unbelievably tragic revelation on top of the horror of IRI treatment of protesters and political prisoners.

The US Navy said Saturday it had seized one million rounds of ammunition along with rocket fuses and propellant being smuggled on a fishing trawler from Iran to war-torn Yemen.

#Yemen doesn't have the right to defend itself. It is not like #Ukraine so weapons going into the country gets confiscated and sent to Ukraine instead.

Iran's women say they are prepared for the long fight to ensure their personal freedoms.

I just hope that the extremists don't hijack the movement and push for armed uprising.

Something that would make the mad hardliners very happy.

Women are driving the largest anti-government protest movement Iran has seen in decades. They are risking their lives to demand basic freedoms.
...
In Iran, Sharia-based laws regulate how women can dress and behave. Fathers and husbands make many of the important decisions in a woman's life. There is also widespread and systemic gender discrimination.

In the 2022 World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Gender Gap Report

,>" the country ranks 143 out of 146 in an international comparison of gender equality indicators.

More than anything, the lack of women's political participation plays an important role in Iran's poor ranking. Germany, for example, moved up one spot to 10 in the latest report because of the growing participation of women in politics.

Joint letter by 5 former European foreign ministers today in LeMonde_EN "We see no alternative but to acknowledge that #Israel’s policies & practices against the #Palestinians living in the #WestBank, East #Jerusalem & #Gaza amount to the crime of #apartheid"

As the world is watching in horror events unfolding in Ukraine, conversation around the urgency of protecting a rules-based global order is dominating political and public discourse. The international community has rallied behind multilateralism and the need to adhere to international law and protect human rights. Indeed, it is the only way forward in an increasingly polarized global landscape.

At the same time, we are reminded how the international community has too often remained silent and failed to act in the face of grave violations of international law and impunity for serious abuses in other contexts. Safeguarding the international legal order means applying principles uniformly and consistently.

The same standards and commitment to protecting Ukrainian civilian population and demanding accountability for Russia’s international law violations should be applied globally, including to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
