During the Democratic Convention in Chicago this week, and on a new tidal wave of enthusiasm, theDemocrats manifesto for 2024 was published. The 92 page text pledges to 'stand with Ukraine' and 'strengthen NATO'. “Democrats will join our European partners in standing up to a revanchist Russia. We will not allow Moscow to interfere in our democracies or chip away at our resolve”, it states, albeit on the 89th page. For European officials watching the US election campaign from afar, this is music to their ears. Although officials would not go on the record endorsing Kamala Harris, it is no secre...

US President Joe Biden's administration’s unprecedented executive order of 1 February has been followed by a slew of similar announcements by Western governments sanctioning individuals and groups in Israel. The impact of these sanctions goes far beyond the people whose freedoms they curtail. Governments that have long claimed to be democratic allies of the only democracy in the Middle East have, for all intents and purposes, overridden the underpinnings of Israel’s democracy. By announcing extreme punitive measures against people, public movements and civil society organisations that have nev...

Harris and Walz will appear together for the first time at a rally this afternoon in Philadelphia, the largest city in the key swing state of Pennsylvania — whose own governor, Josh Shapiro, was also a finalist in Harris's search for a partner. Walz, a relatively moderate Democrat popular in his home state, only came to broad national attention over the last two weeks as Harris vetted various candidates, many of whom experienced an up...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel "will exact a heavy price from any aggression against us on any front.” It was his first public statement since the killing of Hamas' top political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in an airstrike in Tehran. His comments didn’t mention the killing. Both Hamas and Iran quickly blamed Israel for the shock assassination that risked escalating into an all-out regional war. The strike came hours after Israel targeted a top commander in Iran’s ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. "There are challenging days ahead of us. Since ...

US organisation The Carter Centre, which works to advance democracy and human rights, has announced it was unable to verify the results of Venezuela's controversial presidential election. The body blamed authorities for a “complete lack of transparency” in declaring Nicolas Maduro the winner without providing any individual polling tallies. The statement given on Tuesday night by the Atlanta-based group is perhaps the harshest rebuke yet of Venezuela's chaotic election process - not least because it comes from one of just a handful of outside groups invited by the Maduro government to observe ...

US President Joe Biden called on voters to defend the country's democracy in an address from the Oval Office, his first on-camera statement since he announced he has dropped his bid for re-election and thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. “Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy,” Biden said in a sombre coda to his 50 years spent in public office. “And that includes personal ambition”. Biden's decision is the first time since the 1960s that a US president has voluntarily stepped out of a re-election campaign. Biden used the 10-minute speech as an opportu...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin said he is ready to press forward with Israel’s war against Hamas until he achieves “total victory” as he addressed lawmakers at the United States Congress. Netanyahu said that he would agree to a ceasefire only if Hamas surrenders, disarms and releases all hostages it is holding. He said Israel would continue to fight indefinitely until it destroys the group’s military capabilities and brings home all hostages. “Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas’s military capabilities and its rule in Gaza and bring all our hostages home," Netanyahu said. "That’s what to...
