UN rapporteur: Israel will not stop ‘this madness’ until we make it stop
Francesca #Albanese, the #UN’s special #rapporteur on #Palestine on Saturday urged member states to impose sanctions on #Israel along with an arms embargo until it stops “this madness,”
“Let’s be clear. As the #ICJ orders Israel to stop its offensive in #Rafah, #Israel instead intensifies its attacks on it,”
The International Court of Justice (#ICJ) in its latest ruling ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in #Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.
“The news I am receiving from the people trapped therein are terrifying,
Be sure: Israel will not stop this madness until WE make it stop,”
Albanese urged all UN member states to impose #sanctions, arms #embargo and suspend diplomatic and political relations with Israel until it ceases its #genocidal assault.
📰 Zelensky says U.S. is readying huge economic deals with Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims to have intelligence that the United States and Russia are preparing a slate of economic agreements worth around $12 trillion — some of which could affect Ukrainian territory, resources, and sovereignty.
Speaking in Kyiv, Zelensky said he had seen documents outlining a U.S.–Russian economic framework that he called the “Dmitriev package,” named after Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and a close ally of Vladimir Putin.
The $12 trillion shadow deal
Zelensky did not say he knew every detail of the talks, but he insisted that signals in the media and in intelligence point to one thing: Washington and Moscow are planning a massive economic reset that could reshape Ukraine from the outside.
America’s argument, he suggested, is simple: lift sanctions, unleash investment, and use the promise of a postwar economic boom as leverage to force Kyiv into a deal that might still leave Russia in control of large parts of eastern Ukraine.
“Peace by June,” with elections in the backseat
The Ukrainian president said Washington has proposed bringing the war in Ukraine to a close by June, and that U.S. officials are signaling heavy pressure on all sides to meet that timeline.
“The elections are, for them, definitely more important,”
Zelensky remarked.
“Let’s not be naïve. They say they want to achieve everything by June, and they will do everything possible to ensure the war ends that way.”
Reports suggest that U.S. and Ukrainian officials have privately discussed a goal of reaching a peace deal by March, with national elections and a referendum in May — a schedule that fits neatly with the American political calendar, not Kyiv’s security needs.
Zelensky’s red line: “Not over our heads”
Zelensky insisted that any such potential agreements involving “Ukraine’s sovereignty or security” must be made with Ukraine, not without it.
“We are not aware of all their bilateral economic or business agreements, but we are receiving some information on the matter,” he said. “Ukraine will not support any such potential agreements about us that are made without us.”
At the same time, Russia launched another massive attack on Ukraine’s power grid, plunging large parts of the country into darkness and leaving many without power and heat. The strike hit energy infrastructure that feeds into the nation’s nuclear power plants, sending a clear message: even as diplomats talk billions, bombs still speak louder.
The real deal on the table
The Dmitriev‑Witkoff‑Kushner peace plan, circulated in Abu Dhabi, calls for gradual sanctions relief, new economic corridors, and joint Russian–Ukrainian projects — but only after Russia gets what it wants on the ground.
To Zelensky, that looks less like a peace framework and more like a hostile takeover of Ukraine’s postwar economy.
So the question is not whether the U.S. can “end the war.”
It’s whether America would rather sell a truce to Moscow in exchange for a deal worth trillions — and leave Ukraine paying the security bill.

"What they're saying is we're going to set your house on fire and we're also going to close all the doors because you cannot leave this hell that we're going to create for you."
The US' perverse Venezuela policy is attempting to destroy the country's economy while also denying any opportunity for Venezuelan migrants to escape the very conditions sanctions have created.
