X has a lamentable history of failing to police itself properly against extremists [and] this is a problem that has clearly got worse since Twitter became X.

"The operations of these traders are closely tied to the Houthi movement, which has been identified as a terrorist organization by both the United States and Australia.

According to a Hamas statement, Haniyeh "died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran," where he was attending the inauguration of Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. Iran's paramilitary guard, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, confirmed Haniyeh had been targeted and killed at his residence in Tehran, along with his bodyguards. Earlier in April, an Israeli strike killed three of Haniyeh's sons in Gaza. Interview with CEP Senior Director Hans-Jakob Schindler.”
