"It's Still a Genocide": Poet Mosab Abu Toha on Reality of "Ceasefire" in Gaza

We speak with Mosab Abu Toha, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet and author from Gaza, who responds to recent developments in the region, including the Trump administration’s policy on Palestine, a recent report finding that the genocide’s death toll is much higher than originally reported and more. Responding to Mike Huckabee’s recent comments suggesting Israel has the biblical right to expand throughout the Middle East, Abu Toha says, “As a Palestinian, I don’t belong to anywhere else than Palestine. My grandparents were living in Yaffa in 1948 before they were expelled. They didn’t know about the Bible.” He notes that the situation in Gaza remains dire despite the so-called ceasefire. “It’s still a genocide, ongoing.”

Trump Lashes Out & Attacks Justices After Supreme Court Limits His Power to Impose Tariffs

The justices ruled that the tariffs — which were imposed by a series of executive orders — exceeded presidential powers under a 1977 law that gives the president authority to regulate commerce only in the case of international emergencies. The ruling takes away a “leverage power tool by Trump,” says Lori Wallach, director of the Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project. “He’s furious about it, because a court that’s been otherwise willing to expand his authority endlessly drew a line.” Trump called the ruling a “disgrace” and responded Friday by announcing a new 10% global tariff — which he increased to 15% Saturday.
