Another Gaza ceasefire deal has crumbled, with Hamas accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining peace efforts. Hamas officials claim they were never informed of the U.S.-Israel decision to abandon indirect talks. Trump blamed Hamas for “acting in bad faith,” hinting at possible U.S. military action in Gaza. As rockets rain on Israel and IDF strikes continue, families of hostages and thousands of Palestinians lose hope for an end to the conflict. Netanyahu echoed Trump, vowing “alternative options” with U.S. backing.

Yemen’s Houthi forces fired a hypersonic Palestine-2 missile at Israel’s technology hub in Be’er Sheva, targeting the nation’s commercial and tech center. Spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strike achieved its objectives, warning of further escalations if Israel continues its war on Gaza. Houthi drones also hit Eilat, Ashkelon, and Hadera, spanning Israel’s south, west, and north. With over 59,500 Palestinians killed in Gaza, Houthis have intensified multi-front attacks and blockades. Israel has responded with airstrikes on Houthi-controlled ports, fueling a rapidly expanding regional conflict.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

In a dramatic escalation, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Gaza-bound civilian aid ship Handala in international waters, cutting live video feeds mid-broadcast. The vessel, carrying unarmed activists, medics, and parliamentarians from 12 countries, was part of the Freedom Flotilla mission aimed at breaking Israel’s blockade on Gaza. Moments before the hijacking, passengers sat peacefully on deck, raising their hands and singing the anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao. All communication was lost shortly after. Human rights groups have condemned the operation as a violation of international law. This marks the third Israeli interception of a humanitarian mission this year.
