Hannah Einbinder: Speaking Up for Palestine Is Worth the Risk

At Cannes, Hannah Einbinder says she won’t let fears of being blacklisted silence her advocacy for Palestine, arguing the cost of not speaking out is higher. She discussed the Cannes world premiere of Camp Miasma and her collaboration with Gillian Anderson at the Kering Women in Motion talks, praised Palestinian and Jewish allies, and suggested she’d love to work with other pro‑Palestine celebrities as she reflects on the final season of Hacks. Camp Miasma opens Aug. 7 in theaters via Mubi.

Palestinian Christian Activist Urges Global Solidarity Against West Bank Settler Attacks

Palestinian Christian rights activist Ihab Hassan tells Vatican News that Israeli settlers in the West Bank act with impunity, carrying out attacks on Palestinian communities (including Taybeh) with little accountability; with 16 Palestinians killed in the West Bank this year, he links violence to government policy and settlement expansion, and promotes the Save West Bank Christians initiative to mobilize global Christian solidarity pressuring authorities to stop the attacks.

Venice Biennale protest shutters several national pavilions over Israel inclusion

On the final day of Venice Biennale previews, a strike organized by the Art Not Genocide Alliance led to several national pavilions closing or partially closing in protest of Israel's inclusion in the 2026 edition, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria (whose standout work remained closed all day), Japan, North Macedonia and Korea; others briefly opened or closed later. Some artists added pro-Palestinian references to their works, with posters outside pavilions and a British pavilion sign noting a temporary closure. The Israeli pavilion was closed for a private event. The episode continues a pattern of protests surrounding the biennale.

Rutgers cancels engineering graduation speaker after pro-Palestinian posts spark controversy

Rutgers University canceled its invitation for alumnus Rami Elghandour to speak at a School of Engineering graduation after some students criticized his social-media posts about Palestine; the university said the decision was to keep the focus on the graduates and avoid forcing them to endorse a speaker, while Elghandour argues the move undermines free speech amid broader nationwide disputes over pro-Palestinian remarks at commencements.

West Bank school attack leaves 14-year-old dead as settler violence targets education

A 14-year-old Palestinian boy, Aws Al-Naasan, and a 32-year-old parent, Jihad Abu Naim, were killed when armed Israeli settlers opened fire at a school in Al-Mughayyir, in the West Bank, as attacks on Palestinian schools escalate; at least four others were injured. Separately, settlers bulldozed a nearby school in Hammamat al-Maleh and set up razor wire near Umm al-Khair to block students’ routes to school. The Israeli military said the incident is under review. Palestinians and activists describe a pattern of violence against education in the area, with authorities and rights groups warning of a systematic violation of children’s right to schooling.
