Israel says it has killed Hamas leader. Who is Mohammed Sinwar? - The Hill
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to confirm Wednesday that his military forces killed Mohammed Sinwar, the understood leader of Hamas’s armed wing. Speaking before Parliament, Netanyahu listed the names of top Hamas leaders that Israeli forces killed since the start of the war. “We have killed tens of thousands of terrorists. We killed [Mohammed] Deif, [Ismail] Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Sinwar,” he said.
Here’s what to know about Mohammed Sinwar and his apparent death: No confirmation from Hamas. There has been no confirmation from the U.S.-designated foreign terrorist group, which is the governing body in Gaza, in response to Israeli claims of Mohammed Sinwar’s death.
May 13 airstrike: Israeli news outlets reported that Mohammed Sinwar was targeted in a strike earlier this month that hit what Israeli officials said was Hamas’s command center, located beneath a hospital in Khan Younis.
At the time, the Israeli military declined to comment on whether Mohammed was targeted or killed. At a press conference last week, however, Netanyahu commented on the reports. “We have eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists. We eliminated the arch-murderers — Deif, Yahya Sinwar and apparently Muhammad Sinwar as well,” Netanyahu said May 21 in a translated statement provided by his office.
Brother of infamous former Hamas leader
Mohammed Sinwar is the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the infamous former Hamas leader who is often credited as the mastermind behind the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, which left nearly 1,200 Israelis dead and 251 people taken hostage in Gaza. The attack precipitated the broad retaliatory invasion of the Palestinian territory.
Israeli forces killed Yahya Sinwar in October 2024 and have killed much of Hamas’s leadership since the war started. Mohammed Sinwar is said the be among a small group of top Hamas commanders who knew in advance about the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, according to The Associated Press.
Long history with Hamas
Mohammed Sinwar joined Hamas with his older brother in the late 1980s when the group was initially founded as part of the Muslim Brotherhood. The younger Sinwar joined the military wing of the group, known as the Qassam Brigades. Mohammed Sinwar, born in 1975, was a teenager at the time. His family had been driven out of modern-day Israel during the 1948 war, and he was born in the Khan Younis refugee camp.
Mohammed Sinwar became a member of the so-called joint chiefs of staff, working closely with the longtime commander Deif, who was killed in a strike last year. And he participated in the First Intifada, as well as several other operations, including the 2006 attack that led to the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Yeah, thats a bit like Dominican Republic. All three main parties are social democrat, but the Modern Revolutionary Party is the Right-Wing SocDem party, the People's Force/Popular Force is the Left-Wing SocDem Party, and the Dominican Liberation Party is the old SocDem party with both Left and Right factions inside it.
In Suriname's case Progressive Reform Party is basically a right-wing liberal SocDem, Pro-USA party. And the National Democratic Party being the left-wing SocDem, more Pro-China/Anti-USA party.
Bolsonaro's son under ethical and legal fire in Brazil - La Prensa (Spanish)
Brasilia, May 28 (Prensa Latina) The Workers' Party (PT) filed before the Ethics Council of the Chamber of Deputies a request for impeachment against the licensed legislator Eduardo Bolsonaro for acting today from the United States against Brazilian democratic institutions.
Article
According to the text of the disqualification request, signed by the leader of the PT in the lower house, Lindbergh Farias, and the interim president of the political organization, Humberto Costa, the deputy acts systematically on U.S. territory with the objective of promoting institutional attacks against the Supreme Court.
He also pressures the jurisdiction of that superior court and manages international sanctions against national authorities.
The content highlights that Eduardo Bolsonaro, publicly and repeatedly, declared that “he will only return to Brazil when Minister Alexandre de Moraes (of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) is sanctioned by the United States”.
The statement was supported by meetings with U.S. legislators such as Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Cory Mills, seeking to apply the Magnitsky Act, a foreign policy rule used to sanction alleged human rights violators.
For the PT, these actions constitute a “serious breach of parliamentary decorum”, as they imply abuse of representative functions and conspiracy with foreign actors against the Brazilian State.
In addition, the party accuses the parliamentarian removed from his mandate of financing part of his actions through funds from an online donation campaign promoted by his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, whose stated objective was another.
The document stresses that the deputy's actions “directly affect the STF and national sovereignty”, which violates the ethical core of the legislative function.
Now, the Ethics Council must decide whether or not to accept the process.
If it admits it, it initiates another one that may culminate in a vote in the plenary of the lower house, in which a qualified majority (2/3 of the votes) is required for impeachment.
At the same time, the Supreme Court, at the request of the Attorney General's Office, opened an investigation into Eduardo Bolsonaro and also requested that the Federal Police take a statement from his father, on suspicion that he is financing his son's activities in the United States, where he has been living since he left office in March.
Farias also filed a criminal complaint with the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office against the congressman, accusing him of coercion in the course of proceedings and requested his imprisonment for “treason and obstruction of justice”.
To date, there has not been a previous case of cassation of a deputy for “international actions against national institutions”, which would be a new legal precedent.
What a fucking loser
A new coalition challenges Suriname's president after a close election - ABC News
Suriname could soon have its first female president after a party led by a medical doctor formed a coalition aimed at ousting the South American country’s current leader following a weekend election with no clear winner
Article
PARAMARIBO, Suriname -- PARAMARIBO, Suriname (AP) — Suriname could soon have its first female president after a party led by a medical doctor formed a coalition aimed at ousting the South American country's current leader following a weekend election with no clear winner.
Dr. Jennifer Geerlings-Simons, of the National Democratic Party, formed a coalition with five other parties late Tuesday as workers still tallied votes from Sunday’s National Assembly election. The chamber chooses the president by a two-thirds vote.
The coalition was formed as the troubled country prepares for an influx of wealth following the discovery of major offshore oil deposits, with the first production expected by 2028.
The National Democratic Party has so far secured 18 seats in the 51-member National Assembly, while the Progressive Reform Party of President Chandrikapersad Santokhi clinched 17, losing three seats in the election.
However, votes at some polling stations were still being counted, and recounts in some places were already underway in the Dutch-speaking country of more than 646,000 people.
Once preliminary results are confirmed, the National Assembly would then meet to choose a president. The coalition headed by Geerlings-Simons so far appears to hold 34 seats, which would be just enough to muster a two-thirds majority.
Geerlings-Simons took leadership of the National Democratic Party from Desi Bouterse, a former dictator convicted of murder who left the country in financial ruin. He died last year.
Joining her to form a coalition was the Alternative 2020 party; the Brotherhood and Unity in Politics party; the General Liberation and Development Party founded by vice president and former rebel leader Ronnie Brunswijk; the National Party of Suriname; and the Pertjajah Luhur Party.
The last three parties used to back Suriname’s president in a coalition but recently have dropped their support, accusing him of not involving them in policy creation.
Santokhi’s five-year presidency also was riddled with corruption scandals, and he was forced to call on the International Monetary Fund to get Suriname’s economy back on track.
As a result, the country’s nearly $4 million public debt was largely restructured and government subsidies reduced. Macroeconomically, Santokhi achieved success, but people groaned under the austerity measures, which sparked violent protests.
I guess the Left-Wing Pro-Military SocDems won against the Right-Wing SocDems.
Today is the 61st anniversary of the Creation of the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine/Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)
The 2025 Mexican judicial elections will be held on 1 June 2025, during which voters will elect nine Supreme Court justices, two magistrates of the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary, 15 magistrates of the Regional Chambers of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary, five members of the Judicial Disciplinary Tribunal, 464 circuit court magistrates, and 386 district court judges. It will be the first judicial election in Mexican history.
Following the 2024 Mexican general election, the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition—formed by the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the Labor Party (PT), and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM)—secured a supermajority in the Chamber of Deputies and came three seats short in the Senate. The alliance, along with its presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum, campaigned on enacting a package of constitutional reforms known as "Plan C."
One of its key proposals was the popular election of the federal judiciary, which outgoing president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) claimed would eliminate corruption. On 1 September 2024, the bill was introduced in the LXVI Legislature of the Mexican Congress, triggering nationwide protests and strikes over concerns that it would undermine judicial independence. Despite opposition, it passed the Senate on 11 September and was promulgated by AMLO on 15 September.
Following their selection, several candidates requested to appear on the ballot with nicknames such as "AMLO's Judge," "Judge of the Fourth Transformation," or "The People's Minister," proposals that were ultimately rejected. Twenty candidates have been identified as having criminal records, ties to defending drug traffickers, or allegations of corruption.
On 15 May 2025, billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego urged his followers on X to boycott the election, claiming that Morena's supermajority in the LXVI Legislature had been fraudulently obtained and that participating in the vote would only legitimize what he likened to a "coup d'état." The next day, former president Vicente Fox called for a boycott, describing the election as a "farce" and urging citizens to abstain from voting.
lol
A Pew Research Center survey published a week before the election found that 66% of Mexicans approved the judicial reform, while 29% disapproved.
Israel Bombs Gaza Refugee School, Killing Over 30 Palestinians - Telesur English
Article
Israeli forces bombed a refugee school in Gaza’s al-Daraj neighborhood, killing at least 32 people and wounding over 50 others, as the humanitarian crisis in the enclave deepens. The attack on the Fahmi al-Jarjawi school, where displaced families had sought shelter, is the latest in Israel’s relentless military campaign against Gaza’s civilian population.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, victims of the strike included children and entire families, many burned beyond recognition by bunker-busting missiles that tore through the upper floors and obliterated the refugee quarters below.
Rescuers recovered 20 children’s bodies, while survivors described the attack as an indiscriminate massacre.
Many displaced Palestinians at the school had fled Beit Lahia, seeking refuge only to be killed in what was supposed to be a safe shelter. Local reports confirm that, moments before the school was bombed, an Israeli airstrike leveled a residential building on Thawra Street, killing four civilians. Another attack on Jabalia killed 15 members of the Abd Rabbo family, including displaced victims trapped in their destroyed home.
Israeli media sources have stated the military campaign will continue for months, aiming to forcibly displace Gaza’s population southward while maintaining occupation of areas seized by Israeli forces.
Israel’s military justified the school bombing, claiming it was targeting “key terrorists”—a claim dismissed by Palestinian officials, who insist the true victims were civilians, mostly children.
The UN and international humanitarian organizations have condemned Israel’s repeated attacks on schools and hospitals, stressing that civilian facilities must be protected under international humanitarian law.
Since the start of Israel’s offensive on October 7, 2023, at least 53,939 Palestinians have been killed and 122,797 wounded, with hunger, displacement, and blocked humanitarian aid worsening conditions for millions.
