What the victims and hostages of Hamas had to endure
There was great relief at the release of 105 hostages held by the extremist Islamic movement Hamas in exchange for the release of convicted Palestinian criminals – in Israel and around the world. But the public only gradually learns what these people had to suffer under Hamas’ violence. Reports are incomplete. Not everything that free people say becomes known. People are shocked. There are still 138 hostages believed to be held by extremists, including 15 women and two children.

The images of the liberators that roamed the world on November 24, and then left them behind, had a disturbing effect: hostages being led through an angry Palestinian mob, victims waving goodbye to their captors. “It was an offer they had to endure,” says Asher Ben-Arieh, a professor at the Paul Berwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

It is now known that the released hostages were drugged, at least in those days. Hagar Mizrahi, head of the Health Ministry’s medical department, recently told members of the Israeli parliament that the hostages, women and children, were given the drug clonazepam before they were released.
The drug is known as Clonex in Israel and is sold under the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril elsewhere. It is used preventively and to treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar, agitation associated with psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The terrorists clearly wanted to make the hostages appear optimistic and content after 50 terrible days. Family members of the hostages first raised the drug issue.
Members of a medical team caring for a group of 19 children and seven women also reported that the hostages lost between 10 and 15 percent of their body weight. Deprived of food and water, some showed eating disorders upon their return.

According to his aunt Deborah Cohen, 12-year-old Etan was forced to „watch horror videos from October 7” while being held hostage and held alone in a room for some time. “When he arrived in Gaza, the people he passed beat him,” Cohen told French radio. “They threatened the children with a gun if they started crying.” Nine-year-old Emily didn’t whisper until after she returned from the Gaza Strip, her father says. „When she talked to me, I couldn’t understand anything.”
50 days in the dark
Thirteen-year-old Hela’s uncle reported that she spent about 50 days in the dark, and she is also a hostage who was released. Some people slept on chairs, others on mattresses on the floor. Yair Rotem told Israeli media that they were told to whisper during the day and be quiet at night.
Among the 138 hostages still held by Hamas are 15 women and two children. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller in Washington told reporters that the reason Hamas did not hand over these hostages, despite them fulfilling all the conditions for surrender, was clearly “because they did not want them to talk about what happened to them.” . These seem to be people who have suffered special cruelty.
But even what is already known exceeds all fears. In a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet on Tuesday, the recently released hostages confirmed that they had been subjected to sexual violence and assault by their captors.

Hamas denies reports of violations
Hamas „strongly rejected and condemned” reports of violations. A post on the messaging app Telegram said such claims are “lies” from Israel aimed at discrediting the “humane” way Hamas treats Israeli hostages.
But the terrorists themselves have provided the first evidence that the attack on October 7 led to systematic sexual violence of the worst levels, especially against visitors to the Supernova festival, in the form of streaming films. The young woman, whose photos went viral on October 7 wearing sweatpants stained with blood, is still in Hamas’s grip.
International law also applies to Israel
With the new phase of the war in the Gaza Strip, civilian suffering will increase again. Germany and the United States must remind Israel more clearly than before that international law applies to everyone, says Kan-Miri.
39-year-old Yoni Sadoun, a survivor of the Supernova Festival, in which hundreds of young people were killed, described in the British newspaper The Sunday Times what he was to notice hiding under the bodies: an eight-year-old woman. Or “she was beaten and raped by ten fighters” before being shot. „And when they finished, they laughed.”

“We saw broken legs, broken pelvises, and blood-stained underwear,” said a female soldier, who requested to remain anonymous and is responsible for forensic examinations of severely beaten or partially burned bodies at a military base.South German newspaper„.
Israeli police examine 60,000 video clips
Israeli police said investigators are reviewing about 60,000 videos from seized cameras of Hamas terrorists and surveillance cameras, as well as from social media. The Israeli army found Captagon pills in the bags of killed Hamas fighters. It is likely that many of them were under the influence of this stimulant, also known as the “jihadi drug,” which the terrorist “Islamic State” militia had previously given to its fighters.

Evidence of sexual violence ranged from suspected gang rape to post-mortem mutilation. But suspected rape victims are said to be difficult to find because many of them were killed by extremists. Or maybe they are still being held hostage.

“It has become increasingly clear that violence committed against women, men and children also includes widespread sexual and gender-based violence,” Physicians for Human Rights Israel wrote in a report. “We know for sure that there was more than one case and that the attacks were not limited to one place,” added Hadas Siu, an ethics expert working for the group. “What we don’t know and what the police are investigating is whether or not an order was issued and whether it was systematic.”
And this is exactly what no one in Israel doubts: “It seems that their mission was to rape as many people as possible,” said Haim Otzgen, a senior member of ZAKA, an Israeli volunteer rescue service that was responsible for the detailed search for the bodies. The clues since October 7 have been busy in The Sunday Times.

In light of these reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, accused the United Nations and human rights activists of turning a blind eye to the matter.
Netanyahu said in a press conference on Tuesday evening: “I say to women’s rights organizations, human rights organizations – you have heard about the rape of Israeli women, the terrible atrocities, sexual mutilation – where the hell are you?” He expects all governments and „civilized” countries to „say something against this cruelty.”
The United Nations ignored the women’s suffering for seven weeks
In fact, there is so much anger in Israel that the United Nations took more than seven weeks to address women’s plight in a statement for the first time: „There are numerous reports of sexual violence during Hamas’ heinous terrorist acts on October 7.” “We must vigorously investigate and prosecute those accused,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres wrote. We are disturbed by the numerous reports of gender-based atrocities and sexual violence during these attacks.

According to opinion polls and forecasts, the Labour Party is the most likely candidate in the British elections in 2024.
LONDON – The Conservative Party has been in power in the United Kingdom for fourteen years. But that will soon come to an end. A Conservative victory in the 2024 British general election on July 4 is considered all but impossible. And recent opinion polls have been devastating for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party.
This time, there may be no way to avoid a Labour victory in the House of Commons. Basically, one question remains unanswered: how much can the Social Democrats win? Or, to put it another way: how bad are things for the Conservatives? In any case, the latest opinion polls before the election in Great Britain do not allow for any other conclusion: the Conservatives are in danger of falling into insignificance.

Seat distribution projections based on the latest opinion polls for the 2024 UK general election
We should also bear in mind that in Great Britain, MPs are elected using majority voting – unlike in Germany, where personal proportional representation is used. For the Conservative Party, the predictions for the distribution of seats in the House of Commons based on the latest opinion polls are much worse than pure percentage values.
Many forecasts suggest the Conservatives will win around 100 seats. Sunak could also make history: according to the latest polls, he could become the first sitting prime minister in history to be voted out of office in his own constituency. The UK’s Reform Party, which is expected to win only a handful of seats in the House of Commons, is struggling with voting rights.
Latest polls and forecasts point to a clear outcome in the 2024 UK election
The House of Commons in London has 650 seats. These are distributed among MPs from the four parts of the United Kingdom. Each MP represents one constituency: 543 in England, 57 in Scotland, 32 in Wales and 18 in Northern Ireland.
The last general election in Great Britain was held in December 2019. The Conservative Party, led by former party leader Boris Johnson, clearly exceeded the absolute majority of 326 seats in the election, winning 365 seats. The Labour Party won 202 seats at the time. The Scottish National Party won 48 seats, while the Liberal Democrats won eleven seats. (CS / AFP / AFP)

Ukraine is a victim? Donald Trump is said to be planning a deal with Putin’s Russia
He presses
According to an American report, Donald Trump wants to make an offer to Ukraine if Vladimir Putin wins the elections – without Kiev.
Washington – Explosive report on the war in Ukraine: Like the famous American news magazine Politico Donald Trump is said to be willing to cede occupied territories in Ukraine to Russia if he wins the election if Moscow agrees to peace.
Trump’s Offer to Putin? Controversial US Report on Ukraine War
In the 2024 US election, the new (or old) US president will be elected on November 5th of this year. Trump, 78, who was the 45th US president from 2017 to 2021, will run again as a Republican. Presumably against incumbent Joe Biden (Democrats).
He writes that Trump should think about it. Politicoto offer Putin that both Ukraine and Georgia abandon NATO membership for the sake of peace negotiations. This bypasses the decision-makers in Kiev and Tbilisi.
Ukraine and Georgia: Donald Trump reportedly planning to make a deal with Vladimir Putin
As two unnamed Republican national security experts told the news magazine, Donald Trump also reportedly wants to negotiate with Vladimir Putin over how much Ukrainian territory Moscow could keep if he wins the election.
With Washington, Kiev’s most important ally and arms supplier, tolerating Biden. So the alleged de-escalation of the war in Ukraine should play a major role in Trump’s plans for NATO if the controversial real estate mogul is again elected to the highest office in the United States by voters. According to the report, the United States will not abandon the defense alliance under his leadership, but NATO expansion to the east as a security guarantee for Ukraine and Georgia will be off the table (for now).
Zelensky sends a message from Ukraine to Donald Trump
Trump has repeatedly claimed in the past that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has now demanded clarity on how the Republican is supposed to achieve that. “If Trump knows how to end this war, he should tell us today,” Zelensky said in an interview with Russia Today. Bloomberg TV“If there are threats to Ukraine’s independence, then we must lose our statehood – we want to be prepared for that, and we want to know that.”

After contact with infected cow: US announces fourth case of bird flu in humans
After contact with an infected cow
US announces fourth case of bird flu in humans

Experts around the world are concerned: This is the fourth time a person in the United States has been infected with the bird flu virus. After Texas and Michigan, a dairy farm in Colorado is now the source of the infection. The health authority is assessing the risk.
For the fourth time in just a few months, a person in the United States has contracted bird flu after coming into contact with infected dairy cows — this time in Colorado. As in previous cases, the woman worked on a dairy farm and was exposed to cows that had been found to have the H5N1 virus, the CDC said. In April, the first case of bird flu was reported in a dairy farm worker in Texas, followed by two more cases in Michigan.
The Colorado patient had only mild symptoms of bird flu in her eyes and was given an antiviral medication. She has since recovered, they said. However, the CDC reiterated calls for precautions for farm workers who handle infected cows. In the Colorado case, “further genetic analysis” is underway to identify potential variants of the virus that “could change the agency’s risk assessment” for the population.
The H5N1 avian influenza virus has increasingly spread to mammals in recent months, including dairy cattle in the United States. Numerous cattle herds have been infected in several US states, and the outbreak was first detected in March.
Drosten: All experts are concerned
Several people have already been infected, raising fears of an impending pandemic. Given the spread of H5N1 in the United States, the chief virologist at Berlin’s Charité hospital, Christian Drosten, has described the bird flu virus as a potential cause of an upcoming pandemic. The pathogen has recently appeared in dairy herds in the United States and „has even appeared in dairy products on the market,” Drosten said at the weekend. „There has never been anything like this before, such a large spread in cows – all the experts are worried.”
However, the virologist explained that there is no better view of the data to make a more accurate assessment. “We don’t yet know how often people who interact with these infected cows are getting infected.” It is desirable that decisive action be taken now in the United States.
