 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The indictment of Kosovo's former president makes it unmistakably clear that the closest ally of the US and the European Union in the Balkans over the last quarter century has been a brutal war criminal. Attacks at the al-Aqsa Mosque, the occupied West Bank and on Israel's own Palestinian citizens, as well as against Iran and Syria, are the spearhead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign to whip up war fever. The ending of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency has brought an end to the protection of health coverage for millions who have enrolled in Medicaid over the last three years. One attendee commented: "None of the discussion in the media on the war in Ukraine, or the rapidly moving preparations for military conflict with China, provides any serious explanation of how we've got to this point and the insane consequences for humanity." Abdrazakov is the latest victim of the anti-Russian propaganda campaign being waged as part of the US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine. As in any war, the imperialist powers pursue geostrategic goals and viable economic interests. This was underlined by the trip of German Economy Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) to Ukraine earlier this week. The initiative taken by petition organisers is a crucial one, asserting the rights of rank-and-file nurses against the RCN's unaccountable bureaucracy. Both the education unions and the government knew full well that educators would reject the pay offer and have used the "talks" to diffuse anger and opposition through political theatre and posturing, with the unions now calling for "fresh talks". Notably, the strike has only been called for 33 out of the 79 Cub Foods stores in the state of Minnesota.

At a union meeting Wednesday, rank-and-file members were presented with a series of motions by the GEO and AFT leadership that made clear they are preparing to abandon previous demands before quickly imposing a sellout agreement. Two paths presented themselves to the Temple graduate workers—one, an isolated struggle coupled with appeals to the Democratic Party; the other, the expansion of the struggle in the working class through the formation of a rank-and-file committee. The Kolonnawa election meeting attracted workers, youth and urban poor from the area and was live-streamed on Facebook with over 1,200 views so so far. The RBA has said some "further tightening of monetary policy may well be needed," pointing to a "very tight" labour market, the need for greater productivity—code phrase for increased profits—and the need to avert a "prices-wage spiral." While falsely promoted as a defense of victims of forced labor, there is nothing progressive about the opposition Democratic Party's anti-Japanese campaign. Rail workers in Portugal begin further strikes to last through April, over pay, conditions and safety; Palestinians in Israel hold one-day general strike after 26-year-old doctor shot dead by police outside the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City; strikes continue in South Africa at retail giant Makro for pay and to protest the sacking of strikers About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
