Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon Accuses His Govt of Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza
Earlier this month, former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said that he will not apologize for his comments accusing Israel of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the northern Gaza Strip. When pressed, he denied that ethnic cleansing in Gaza was mass murder, but instead defined it as “evacuating a population from its homes, destroying their homes.” But he also said that government ministers speak about how “the Strip will be cleansed of Arabs.” And he recommended prison for far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich who he said “has no moral qualms about starving two million Gazans to death.”
Ya’alon, who served as a lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party and as defense minister under him, resigned in 2016, citing deep distrust in Netanyahu’s leadership, and has since become a staunch critic of the premier.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Heckled As Government Implodes over Proposed US Tariffs
Last month, Donald Trump posted that he plans to sign an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States from Canada and Mexico. Last week, Trump suggested that, in order to avoid tariffs, Canada could be annexed by the US and become our 51st state; Trump called Justin Trudeau ‘Governor’. About 77% of Canada’s exports go to the US; approximately 60% of US crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of US electricity imports as well. Tariffs could destroy Canada’s economy.
Prime Minister Trudeau is in a precarious position and was made even more vulnerable when his trusted deputy, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, went scorched earth in a Monday resignation letter. She warned against using tax breaks as a short-term gimmick to please voters and instead recommended maintaining reserves that may be needed for a coming tariff war.
