❗️Ecuador voters overwhelmingly reject foreign military bases

Ecuadorian voters rejected a government-backed proposal to allow foreign military bases, with early results showing nearly two-thirds voting “no” as 90% of ballots were counted. The four-article package, introduced by President Daniel Noboa, also sought broader constitutional changes.

All items on the referendum were rejected by wide margins, including proposals to draft a new constitution, cut state funding for political parties, and reduce congressional seats. Noboa conceded the defeat, saying his administration would respect the public's decision.

The outcome marks a setback for Noboa, who aimed to lift the 2008 ban on foreign military bases as part of his plan to tackle rising violence and organized crime, a move supported by the US, which sought to reopen a Pacific coast base.

❗️US military conducts 21st strike on alleged drug-smuggling boat, killing three

The Pentagon has revealed it had carried out its 21st confirmed strike on what it described as a drug-trafficking vessel, according to a statement from US Southern Command. Southern Command said intelligence indicated the boat was moving along a known smuggling route and carrying narcotics. It added that three men it labeled “narco-terrorists” were killed in the strike, which took place in international waters in the Eastern Pacific.

Official statements from US officials have consistently framed the strikes in the Caribbean as part of a wider crackdown on alleged drug vessels but have never provided any evidence to corroborate these claims.

The military operation raises the number of people extrajudicially killed in US military strikes on boats, using a wide range of military tactics, from drone strikes to fighter jets and gunships, to 83.

⭕️ Oxford Union vote: Israel seen as greater regional threat than Iran

The Oxford Union voted 265–113 in favor of the motion that Israel poses a greater threat to Middle Eastern stability than Iran, after a heated debate on 13 November.

Speakers backing the motion, including former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and former Iranian minister Ata’ollah Mohajerani, argued that Israel’s actions in Gaza, historic military interventions, and nuclear arsenal pull global powers into conflict and undermine regional stability. They described Israel as an expansionist state whose policies have caused immense civilian suffering, with one speaker stressing that “international law has been rendered meaningless” in Gaza.

Opponents, including UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer and former British ambassador Dominick Chilcott, countered that Iran’s so-called 'proxy network,' repression of minorities, and nuclear ambitions pose the deeper danger, with Neuer claiming Iran has destabilized states from Syria to Yemen.

The debate saw sharp reactions from the chamber, particularly after Neuer remarked that Gaza could have been “prosperous beachfront property,” prompting visible protest.

Students later described the discussion as highly charged, with many calling for more nuance and respect given the gravity of the topic.

🇵🇸 🇮🇱 The temporary “yellow line” imposed by the Israeli regime across Gaza is poised to harden into a de facto border, drawing comparisons to a new Berlin Wall.

Haaretz newspaper, citing Israeli security sources, said the yellow line may become permanent once a ceasefire is finalized. The line would effectively partition Gaza, entrenching a division shaped by the regime’s military control.

Washington has pressed the Israeli regime to approve its “New Gaza” plan, a long-term reconstruction program expected to split the enclave into two regions. The “New Gaza” plan focuses on rebuilding areas east of the yellow line, which remain under Israeli military occupation.

⭕ Kurdish PKK says fighters have withdrawn from key north Iraq region

The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) said on 17 November that its forces have withdrawn from the Zap region in northern Iraq, calling the move a “significant practical contribution” to the peace process with Turkiye.

According to a statement published by Firat news agency, the group said that “as of the evening of November 16, our forces ... in the Zap region have been withdrawn,” adding that “the risk of conflict in the area has been completely eliminated.”

The PKK argued that the pullout demonstrates its “commitment” to efforts to restructure ties with Ankara and would “serve the resolution of the Kurdish issue” as well as broader political reforms in Turkiye.

The withdrawal follows the group’s renunciation of armed struggle six months earlier, ending four decades of violence that killed an estimated 50,000 people.

After its formal dissolution in May, the PKK began destroying its weapons in July and, in late October, started pulling all its fighters from Turkish territory to northern Iraq.
