Israel is reportedly setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of "military age" from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel's military plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during the assault.The previously unreported disclosure of Israel's construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps.The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel's practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images "deeply disturbing."

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel.“Not only did the ‘Foreign Aid’ package do nothing to secure our own border, it included $3.5 Billion to supercharge mass migration from the Middle East,” said a tweet from Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO).“The Biden-Harris administration set the refugee admissions ceiling for fiscal year 2024 at 125,000 refugees."The package does not include any funds to help rebuild Americans’ border defenses against migration. but it does include $481 million to settle migrants in U.S. cities and $3.5 billion to expand migration programs worldwide.

Europe is planning to forge a bubble of nuclear protection from Russia made up of 300 French ballistic missiles.French president Macron has suggested the submarine-launched warheads are fanned across the continent to shore up collective defense.His offer followed a German minister urging the UK and France to forge a "nuclear shield" to deter Russia.Leaders in Europe are worried about the ramifications of a possible Donald Trump win in the November presidential election.And nuclear threats are coming out of Russia thick and fast as Putin's illegal war in Ukraine drags on.Macron said he wanted to open up conversations about "missile defence, long-range weapons and nuclear weapons" across Europe.The French premier, who has been incredibly vocal about stepping up defence in the face of Putin, said we need a "credible European defence".The current US-led Nato alliance, he believes, does not offer enough protection.France, he says, "is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil," independently from America, offering up the 300-ballistic and cruise missile store.
