Who was behind Colorado pro-"Israel" rally attack?
Law enforcement authorities in the US state of Colorado announced that they have identified the suspect in the Molotov cocktail attack that targeted a pro-"Israeli" demonstration in the city of Boulder on Sunday afternoon.
Authorities stated that the suspect is named Mohamed Soliman, who was arrested without resistance. Police noted that investigations are still ongoing to determine the motive behind the attack, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
US security sources revealed that the suspect in the attack targeting a pro-"Israel" group in Boulder, Colorado, was residing illegally in the United States.
According to Fox News, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, entered the US on a tourist visa in 2022 during former President Biden's administration, but remained in the country after his visa expired.
Reports indicate that Suleiman arrived at Los Angeles International Airport in August 2022 and was permitted to stay until February 2023. He filed an immigration application in September 2022 and was granted a work permit in March 2023, which expired last month.
Earlier on Sunday, the FBI director announced the launch of an investigation into what he described as a 'targeted terrorist attack,' confirming that FBI personnel were working alongside local law enforcement at the scene on Pearl Street Mall, a popular shopping area in downtown Boulder.
The attack resulted in several injuries, with victims transported to nearby hospitals, including the suspect himself, who is currently receiving treatment under tight security.
In the first official comment, Axios reported that a senior White House official confirmed President Donald Trump had been briefed on developments regarding the attack.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also commented on the incident on X, saying, 'We're united in prayer for the victims of this targeted terrorist attack... Terrorism has no place in our great country.'

For his part, the Israeli Occupation's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said: 'We are facing a wave of antisemitic terrorism against Jews in the United States.'

Nearly Half a Billion Euros in German Arms Exports to Israel Since October 7 Attack - Jordan News
Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Germany has approved arms exports to Israel worth nearly €500 million, sparking widespread controversy and legal challenges. اضافة اعلان According to a German Ministry of Economy response to a parliamentary inquiry by the Left Party, between October 7, 2023, and May 13, 2025, Berlin authorized the export of military weapons and equipment valued at €485.1 million to Israel. The response—signed by State Secretary Bernhard Kluitsch and obtained by Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa)—did not clarify whether the newly installed German government (a coalition of the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats) had issued further licenses after assuming office on May 6, 2025. Review of Arms Policy Germany's new Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul recently cast doubt on the continuation of arms exports to Israel. In an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung, he said such exports are under review to assess compatibility with international humanitarian law, particularly in light of Israeli actions in Gaza. 'This review will determine whether what is happening in Gaza complies with international humanitarian law,' Wadephul stated. 'Based on that, we will decide whether further arms deliveries are appropriate.' When asked if the review could result in halting exports altogether, he affirmed: 'That is exactly what the wording implies.' Legal and Political Challenges The issue remains legally contentious, as Nicaragua has filed a case against Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, accusing Berlin of complicity in genocide in Gaza due to its arms shipments. In April 2024, ICJ judges rejected an emergency request to halt the deliveries but did not dismiss the case, allowing the proceedings to continue. Domestic Backlash Ulrich Thoden, defense policy expert from the Left Party, called for an immediate halt to all arms shipments to Israel: 'Otherwise, Germany risks being found complicit in crimes prosecutable under international law.' The case continues to stir legal, political, and ethical debate both within Germany and on the international stage.
