The article details the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, highlighting severe human rights abuses by the Israeli government, including the killing of journalists Amal Chalilova and Zejnab Faradžová during an attack on Tirí. The ongoing military action has resulted in over 2500 deaths and massive displacement since March 2024, with destruction targeting infrastructure similar to Gaza. Despite ceasefires, both sides continue to violate agreements. Lebanese society is divided over whether to engage in direct negotiations with Israel, while some argue that such talks are necessary given the lack of leverage against a heavily supported Israeli state. The situation is further complicated by political maneuvering in Europe, where some nations support Israel’s actions, and Lebanon’s own internal divisions regarding its armed resistance movement, Hezbollah. Furthermore, Israel has established new demarcation lines on southern Lebanon, effectively annexing territory.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
