The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen.

I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.

This is going to require some explaining.

Israeli forces on Sunday detained prominent Palestinian journalist Latifeh Abdellatif after raiding her home at the Damascus gate in occupied Jerusalem's Old City. 

According to the official Jerusalem governate's X account, Abdellatif's detention was further extended by an Israeli court on Monday, where she was accused of "incitement" online and "publishing inflammatory content".

Abdellatif is a freelance journalist who has contibuted to Middle East Eye and several other news platforms.

One America News Network would soon replace NBC News and Breitbart would swap with National Public Radio in coveted Pentagon press corps workspace under a plan shared with journalists Friday night.

In what the Pentagon is calling a new “annual media rotation program,” The New York Post will also be invited to move into The New York Times’ workspace. And a fourth outlet affected by the rotation program, Politico, would be replaced by HuffPost.

Several major media companies were told they would need to vacate their office spaces at the Pentagon, in favor of other outlets. Pentagon officials told the news agencies on Friday night. 

NBC News, The New York Times, National Public Radio and Politico must vacate their dedicated workspaces. The organizations learned about the new directive in a memo sent to the press corps without being individually notified, according to NBC News. The Pentagon released an email saying in part, “no additional information will be provided at this time.”

The Trump Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a massive overhaul of its practice allowing journalists to work from inside the building is beginning a program to remove four establishment media news outlets from their workspaces for one year to replace them with new media outlets, including Breitbart News.

Swiss authorities have arrested and deported prominent Palestinian American journalist Ali Abunimah, executive director of online publication The Electronic Intifada, ahead of a speech he was slated to give in Zurich over the weekend, the publication has reported.

U.N. human rights experts and activists condemned on Sunday the arrest of an American, pro-Palestinian journalist in the Swiss city of Zurich, saying it raised concerns about freedom of speech.

Ali Abunimah, the executive director of online publication Electronic Intifada - which calls itself "Palestine's weapon of mass instruction" - was arrested by Swiss police on Saturday ahead of a speech in Zurich, the organisation said in a statement.

Swiss authorities have arrested and deported Ali Abunimah, the executive director of the radical anti-Israel website Electronic Intifada, after he arrived in the country to speak at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Zurich.

Abunimah has a long history of radical activism. Most recently, he denied that Israeli women were raped during the Hamas terror attack of October 7, 2023, despite documentation of such assaults, in which most victims were killed.

The Left is freaking out over the shuddering of federal DEI programs and officers, per the latest executive order issued by President Donald J. Trump. A significant group that’s mum on the subject are congressional Democrats. All DEI staffers in the federal government were placed on paid leave this week. The media melted down. The activist wing of the liberal base is besides themselves, but Democrats on the Hill writ large aren’t flipping out.

CNN boss Mark Thompson told more than 100 journalists and top on-air talent including Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper that they ought to avoid “pre-judging” President-elect Donald Trump while cautioning them “against expressing any outrage of their own” during the inauguration, according to a report.
