The world’s leading #football governing bodies, FIFA and UEFA, are facing several legal cases and increasing public pressure over their policies toward #Israel, including a case before the International Criminal Court accusing their presidents of aiding and abetting war crimes, complaints over violations of anti-discrimination rules, and outrage over their positions regarding #Palestine.

Last week, FIFA announced it would take no action against Israeli football clubs based in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank in response to a complaint filed by the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) in 2024.

#JusticeDemocrats (JD) is endorsing two new candidates on Monday, throwing its weight behind #SaikatChakrabarty in San Francisco and #AdamHamawy in New Jersey. Both candidates, for their own reasons, threaten to have outsized importance if they make it to #Congress, and both are running in open seats vacating by a retiring Democrat.

Chakrabarti was himself a co-founder of JD and went on to be the first chief of staff to [AOC]. Chakrabarti was driven out of Washington by Speaker #NancyPelosi, who objected to his hard-charging approach, which had included helping to organize an occupation of #Pelosi’s office during freshman orientation.

[...] Chakrabarti is also unusual among #Democrats in presenting a full-spectrum #populist economic agenda...

As Palestinians in al-Fandaqumiya, a village in the occupied West Bank, celebrated Eid on Saturday evening, dozens of Israeli settlers raided the area, physically assaulting residents and torching homes and cars. “They attacked at midnight" the head of the village council told #DropSiteNews. “It was Eid evening, so everyone was trying to feel any kind of joy under the overall difficult situation, but the attack destroyed that.”

The wave of settler raids spread into Sunday with at least 25 attacks reported across the #WestBank... Settlers burned cars and homes, attacked residents, stole herds of sheep, pepper-spraying Palestinians while sleeping, and attacked a secondary school.

Over the past week, both the U.S. and Iran delivered frameworks to mediators aimed at ending the ongoing war. The Trump administration is now insisting that its framework must be the basis for any negotiations, a high-level #Iranian official told #DropSiteNews, as President Donald Trump’s top envoy on Friday repeatedly asserted that direct talks are imminent and that the U.S. expects a response from Tehran in the coming days.

But #Iran, which continues to launch regular missile and drone attacks at #Israel and at #US military sites across the Persian Gulf, maintains that #Trump is sinking deeper into a quagmire and Tehran will decide when the #war ends.
