COMMENTARY: By Lim Tean Why is US President Donald Trump carrying on with his State visit to Beijing this week on May 14? I wouldn’t if I were him. It also shows that he is surrounded by incompetent officials. Any competent advisor would advise him against undertaking this trip. He goes as the leader of ... <a title="Iran war fallout – Trump is going to Beijing on bended knees" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/05/10/iran-war-fallout-trump-is-going-to-beijing-on-bended-knees/" aria-label="Read more about Iran war fallout – Trump is going to Beijing on bended knees">Read more</a>

COMMENTARY: By Kellie Tranter The actions of the Trump administration and its AIPAC-Israeli donors have reached new levels of immorality, illegality and unprecedented venality. It is almost universally accepted that the US-Israel attack on Iran had no justification under international law: it was simply a war of aggression and thus the commission of perhaps the ... <a title="Epstein cabal play games with human lives in Iran while grasping for unearned riches" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2026/03/26/epstein-cabal-play-games-with-human-lives-in-iran-while-grasping-for-unearned-riches/" aria-label="Read more about Epstein cabal play games with human lives in Iran while grasping for unearned riches">Read more</a>

COMMENTARY: By Saige England Every week, health prevailing, I march with our Palestinian friends and their supporters in Aotearoa New Zealand. And my country is one which — under Britain — was colonised. Colonisation perpetrates injustices against indigenous people. This legacy is still felt by Indigenous people today.
