بلاتکلیفی هفت‌ماهه و محرومیت درمانی عبدالرضا امانی‌فر، معلم و فعال صنفی زندانی عبدالرضا (رضا) امانی‌فر، بازرس این شورا و عضو هیات مدیره کانون صنفی معلمان بوشهر، پس از گذشت نزدیک به هفت ماه از زمان بازداشت، همچنان در وضعیت بلاتکلیفی و بدون صدور حکم قضایی در زندان نگهداری می‌شود. به گزارش شورای هماهنگی تشکل‌های صنفی فرهنگیان ایران، این فعال صنفی فرهنگیان از فروردین‌ماه ۱۴۰۵ در بازداشت به سر می‌برد. شورای هماهنگی تشکل‌های صنفی فرهنگیان ایران تداوم بازداشت موقت این معلم را تعارض صریح با نص قانون آیین دادرسی کیفری دانسته و تأکید کرده است که نگه داشتن او در بلاتکلیفی طولانی‌مدت، مصداق عینی «مجازات پیش از محاکمه» است. این بلاتکلیفی در حالی ادامه دارد که آقای امانی‌فر به بیماری کلیوی پیشرونده «پلی‌کیستیک» مبتلاست؛ عارضه‌ای که نیازمند پیگیری منظم پزشک متخصص، آزمایش‌های دوره‌ای و مراقبت‌های مستمر درمانی است. با این حال، گزارش‌ها حاکی است که وی در تمام مدت بازداشت تنها یک‌بار و آن هم با دست‌بند و پابند به مراکز درمانی منتقل شده است. شورای هماهنگی تشکل‌های صنفی فرهنگیان ایران با محکوم کردن ادامه‌ی این بازداشت ناعادلانه، اعلام کرد مسئولیت مستقیم هرگونه آسیب به سلامت و جان این معلم بیمار بر عهده مقام‌های قضایی و امنیتی است. این شورا خواستار تبدیل فوری قرار بازداشت او به وثیقه جهت اعزام به مرخصی درمانی، دسترسی کامل به خدمات پزشکی متخصص و در نهایت آزادی بی‌قیدوشرط عبدالرضا امانی‌فر و تمامی فعالان صنفی زندانی شد. #جای_معلم_زندان_نیست #عبدالرضا_امانی‌فر #سرکوب_معلمان #حقوق_بشر Seven Months of Legal Limbo and Denial of Medical Care for Imprisoned Teacher and Labor Activist Abdolreza Amanifar Abdolreza (Reza) Amanifar—an inspector for the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations and a board member of the Bushehr Teachers' Trade Association—remains in detention nearly seven months after his arrest, still awaiting a judicial verdict. According to the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations, this activist has been in custody since April 2026. The Council describes the continued pre-trial detention of this teacher as a clear violation of the Code of Criminal Procedure, asserting that keeping him in such prolonged uncertainty constitutes a concrete instance of "punishment before trial."

November 3, 2026 8:45 AM EDT President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to end approximately $4 billion in annual US aid to Israel, arguing that Israel has become a successful country that no longer needs the financial support.

Candidates calling for restrictions or an outright end to US military assistance to Israel are competing in several significant races, while some of Israel’s most outspoken supporters in Congress are fighting for their political survival. By Jordan Levy, World Israel News Americans head to the polls Tuesday for midterm elections that could dramatically reshape Washington for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s term, with Republican control of both chambers of Congress at risk and several races carrying major implications for the US-Israel relationship. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are on the ballot, along with 36 governorships. The House appears increasingly likely to change hands. The Senate is far less certain, with a small collection of races stretching from Maine to Alaska potentially determining whether Republicans retain control or Democrats capture both chambers. For supporters of Israel, the election also offers another test of a political shift that has accelerated within the Democratic Party. Candidates calling for restrictions or an outright end to US military assistance to Israel are competing in several significant races, while some of Israel’s most outspoken supporters in Congress are fighting for their political survival. Here are the races and trends to watch Tuesday. The House: Republicans are in serious danger Republicans entered the election cycle with a razor-thin 220-215 House majority, meaning Democrats need a net gain of just three seats to take control. At this point, the question may be less whether Democrats can find three seats than how large their majority could become. The Cook Political Report now favors Democrats in 222 districts, already four more than the 218 required for control, with another 18 races rated as toss-ups. Cook projects Democrats could finish with between 227 and 240 seats. Inside Elections is even more bullish on the overall swing, projecting a Democratic gain of between 20 and 30 seats. That would represent a significant repudiation of Republicans just two years after Trump returned to the White House.

I'm being told that there's heavy movement of fighter jets in Jerusalem right now.

When Foreign Financial Networks Reach Into a Sovereign Nation’s Political System, the Question Is No Longer Simply Who Wins an Election — It Is Who Ultimately Controls the Direction of the Nation. The October 27, 2026 Israeli Knesset election has produced a potentially explosive political controversy. Ra’amgate, as designated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud, involves allegations of electoral bribery, suspected Qatari and Turkish financial interference, and political mobilization involving the Islamist Ra’am party in Israel's Negev and Bedouin communities. But the significance of Ra’amgate extends far beyond the immediate criminal allegations. Our latest Soldiers to Statesmen Foundation strategic assessment examines this controversy within the larger architecture of foreign-financed political influence that has developed over successive American administrations and through European governmental and progressive institutional networks. This is not simply a question of campaign financing. It is a question of whether foreign financial resources can be converted into domestic political influence, parliamentary leverage, and ultimately governing authority inside a sovereign democratic state. Our investigation examines four major dimensions of this developing strategic challenge: · THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: State Department grants, NIF/SHATIL institutional development, and the OneVoice/V15 controversy, in which American taxpayer-supported organizational capabilities were subsequently employed in an electoral campaign seeking Netanyahu's defeat. · THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION: American philanthropic intermediaries, progressive advocacy networks, the 2023 anti-Netanyahu protest movement, and congressional investigations into the potential indirect political effects of federal funding and private financial transfers. · EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTAL AND PROGRESSIVE NETWORKS: Foreign-government grants, political foundations, transnational advocacy organizations, and institutional financing supporting policy campaigns, legal activism, and sustained political pressure on Israeli governmental decisions.
