Syriza Party Ousts Leader Stefanos Kasselakis

Stefanos Kasselakis faced backlash for his divisive leadership style within SYRIZA, leading to accusations from former president Thanassis Theocharopoulos regarding a lack of democratic respect in party dynamics. The political landscape in the U.S. is marked by a decline in international hegemony, highlighted by campus unrest and a resurgence of isolationist attitudes, amidst a broader collapse of the post-World War II world order. UN Human Rights Council chief Volker Türk emphasized the urgent need for a shift away from a 'new normal' of military escalation and repression towards a focus on human rights and shared values. Meanwhile, violence in the West Bank escalated following the death of a U.S.-Turkish activist, with calls for an independent investigation into Israeli military actions. A recent attack in the Allenby area resulted in three Israeli deaths, with the assailant being hailed as a hero by Palestinian factions, further complicating the ongoing conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the attack and reiterated the threat posed by Iranian-backed groups in the region, stressing the need for a strategic response from Israeli security forces.
