Israeli Forces Arrest 14 Palestinians in the West Bank - Jordan News
Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale arrest and raid campaign across various areas of the occupied West Bank on Monday, detaining 14 Palestinians, including former prisoners, amid a surge in settler violence as part of an escalating, systematic assault across the territory. اضافة اعلان According to a statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Club, the arrests were carried out in the cities of Hebron, Nablus, Qalqilya, Tubas, and Ramallah. In a related development, Israeli bulldozers demolished homes and agricultural structures in Khirbet al-Tawil, located on the lands of Aqraba, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank. Salah Jaber, the mayor of Aqraba, reported that Israeli forces stormed the area accompanied by two bulldozers and began demolition operations, causing significant damage to residents' property as part of the ongoing Israeli policy of displacement and harassment in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers uprooted approximately 150 olive saplings in the Gziwa area near the village of Susiya, located in the Masafer Yatta region south of Hebron, further intensifying settler-led aggression against Palestinian agricultural lands.

Dave Chappelle: For a Palestinian, DJ Khaled is awfully quiet right now
During a show in Abu Dhabi on Friday night, American comedian Dave Chappelle did not hold back in criticizing US President Donald Trump and his approach to the conflict between 'Israel' and Iran. 'Trump, I don't know about this guy. I can't tell if he's going to do good or not,' Chappelle quipped, referencing the chaotic week in the Middle East. 'What a week you guys must have had over here in the Middle East.' The 51-year-old comedian also ridiculed Trump's social media post from Saturday, in which the president claimed responsibility for targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. ''We did a meticulously perfect attack. We have disabled their nuclear facility,'' Chappelle said, quoting Trump's Truth Social post. 'And then at the end of the post he said, 'And now is the time for peace!' Word? I don't think that's how this works, champ.' The comic went further, poking fun at the recent controversy surrounding US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who came under fire in March for reportedly leaking military planning via Signal. 'Trump bombed Iran, in an attack that was carefully planned on WhatsApp,' Chappelle joked, drawing laughter from the crowd. Chappelle also touched on growing anxieties in the US over the region's instability, saying, 'Everybody in America is scared. It's not good when Bible places are in the news. That means it might be the end of times. And if it is, you know what? I had a good run.' When an audience member shouted the name of Palestinian-American DJ Khaled, Chappelle questioned the artist's silence on Gaza. 'DJ Khaled, let me tell you something. For a Palestinian, this man is awfully quiet right now. And as a Palestinian, how could you be that quiet right now? And why are you so fat? People are starving. He's the only fat Palestinian on Earth right now,' he said. Chappelle has been a vocal critic of 'Israel's' actions in Gaza. In his Abu Dhabi show last year, he labeled 'Israel's' bombardment of Gaza 'genocide,' receiving strong applause. While he refrained from naming Palestine directly during his latest set, he made his stance unmistakably clear in the final moments. 'Now that I'm a big powerful voice in America, I've learnt that I have to be careful,' he said. 'I can get in some kind of trouble and they'll try to extort me and put words in my mouth so that I come out here and lie to you.'

ICC targeted in "sophisticated" cyberattack
The International Criminal Court (ICC) announced on Monday that it had detected and contained a "sophisticated and targeted" cybersecurity breach, marking the second such incident to hit the court in just two years. The attack occurred 'late last week,' according to an ICC statement, which described it as both "new" and "targeted." A spokesperson told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the court could not provide a more specific timeline at this stage. The breach comes at a sensitive time for the Hague-based institution, which recently hosted world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, for a NATO summit involving all 32 member states. While the ICC has not publicly identified the source of the latest cyberattack, it remains under intense scrutiny due to its ongoing investigations and arrest warrants against several controversial global figures. The court currently has a warrant out for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of orchestrating the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. It is also detaining former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte over allegations of mass killings during his violent anti-drug campaign. In another high-profile case, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the ongoing war on Gaza, a move that drew fierce condemnation from Washington. In retaliation, Trump imposed sanctions on senior ICC officials, including Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and four judges.
