apparently the UAE threatened Bahrain to turn back from cutting relations with israel

-----

Bahrain actually withdrew its ambassador from Israel before it received a call from a larger Gulf country demanding that it withdraw the step or stop the flow of funds towards it.

quote:

Seeing a lot of people confused by these news. "These are Houthis, not the Yemeni government" some people screech. You're wrong. Here's a quick crash course on some background history, the political landscape in Yemen & appropriate terminology:

1. The "Houthis" (known officially as the Ansarallah) is a broad grassroots movement with only a few defined political keypoints. This is deliberate, as the movement seeks to incorporate and represent the Yemeni people in its entirety across both Islamic and political differences. The movement has a right-wing, a centre-wing and a left-wing, each organized into separate unions and interest groups. For example, the left-wing is organized into what is called the "Cultural Front Against the Aggression", just to be very specific.

2. The "Houthis" ceased being a rebel group in late 2014 with the advent of the September 21st Revolution and the signing of the UN-sponsored Peace & National Partnership Agreement.
Prior to 2014, the group could indeed be described as a rebel movement as it fought 6 consecutive wars against the corrupt Saudi-backed government of Ali Abdullah Saleh. In September 2014, when the "Houthis" entered Sana'a to topple said government, more than 2/3rds of the entire Yemeni Armed Forces switched and took their side instead of the side of the government, giving the "Houthis" access to missile stockpiles and heavy weapons. More on that further down.

3. There are currently two competing governments in Yemen, one based in the constitutional capital Sana'a, and one de-facto based in Aden - although the Aden-based government remains unable to exercise its authority there. The "internationally-recognized government" based in Aden doesn't actually operate from within Yemen, but from a shadow cabinet based in the luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh where they've been exiled since February 2015.
Their direct authority is limited to warlord figures and tribal factions doing their bidding, representing less than 15% of Yemen's total population. In turn, the so-called "Houthi rebels" are part of what is called the Government of National Salvation, which exercises direct authority over 85% of Yemen's entire population.

4. The forces which have launched drones, ballistic & cruise missiles towards Israel are the forces aligned with the Government of National Salvation. They are far from being a "rag-tag rebel group", but operates as a truly conventional army. They don't "represent" the "Houthis", nor do they wage war on behalf of one party or group against another. They represent all of Yemen, and fight on behalf of all of Yemen without exception. They are the only Armed Force in Yemen loyal to a government with a parliamentary mandate to exercise authority - a mandate the Saudi-backed "government" does not have.

Tl;dr: It was indeed the Yemeni Armed Forces which launched the attacks against Israel.

any variance between the different big french media outlets? Just browsing the TV, France24 is like, miles ahead of what you see on CNN which is ridicously israel-slanted. But CNN is a low bar

I have no idea and am only now catching up on how sophisticated the Houthi movement armed forces have gotten but the evidence I have seen which is a) they have long range guided missiles and drones, and b) they clearly have a pretty well funded video production department, this tracks. Capacity to govern is directly related to production values.

quote:

Chants like 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' are commonly perceived as calls for the annihilation of the state of Israel. What’s more, the position these chants represent completely ignores the fact that a majority of Palestinians have rejected this stance since the 1993 Oslo Accords and leaders of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank have consistently called for a two-state solution. Furthermore, the claim that all Palestinians in Gaza are responsible for Hamas lacks empirical support.

Condemnation of the Oct. 7 massacre of Israeli civilians by Hamas — and calling it out as an act of terrorism — shouldn’t be avoided out of risk of offending Palestinians and their supporters. Not condemning the terrorist attacks is a failure of a moral core, and by no means should condemnation of terrorism be viewed as incompatible with believing in Palestinian rights and statehood, alongside Israel. Terrorism is, by common understanding, an attack on all humanity.

there's definitely variance and i've only been exposed to LCI, BFMTV and CNEWS so far, which range from CNN to Fox News in that order, with CNEWS being especially bloodthirsty and clearly relishing it considering the clips they pick to share on social media
