'Bibi' Heads to U.S for High-Stakes Trump Meeting | Gaza, Hostage and Iran Strike Fallout on Agenda

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on July 7 to meet U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating efforts to end the 20-month-long Gaza war. The meeting will focus on securing a ceasefire, releasing hostages held for nearly two years, and addressing regional tensions with Iran following a recent U.S.-brokered halt to their 12-day air war. Israel is also pushing the U.S. to pressure Qatar to negotiate concessions from Hamas. This marks Netanyahu’s third meeting with Trump since January 2025. #Netanyahu #Trump #WhiteHouseMeeting #GazaWar #MiddleEastPeace #HostageCrisis #Israel #Hamas #IranTensions #Ceasefire #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #MideastConflict #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #TrumpNetanyahuMeeting #GazaCeasefire #MideastDiplomacy #HostageNegotiations #USIsraelRelations #MiddleEastCrisis #IranIsraelConflict #QatarMediation #PeaceNegotiations #ConflictResolution #WarAndPeace Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Israel Continues To Strike Gaza Amid Trump’s Ceasefire Claims | Kills 34 | UN Aid Trucks Looted

At least 34 Palestinians were killed as Israeli airstrikes ravaged Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials. Twelve of the dead were sheltering at the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, with additional casualties reported in residential apartments and tents in Muwasi. The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll from the war now exceeds 56,000 — more than half of them women and children. Amid the carnage, Donald Trump told reporters a Gaza ceasefire could arrive “within a week,” raising hopes as Israeli minister Ron Dermer prepares to visit Washington for talks. However, ceasefire conditions remain deadlocked, with Hamas willing to release hostages in exchange for ending the war — an offer Netanyahu refuses unless Hamas is disarmed and exiled. Meanwhile, UN aid convoys are being looted as Palestinians face starvation. Israel allowed only limited food supplies into Gaza after blocking aid for over two months. #GazaAirstrikes #IsraelGazaWar #PalestineStadiumAttack #TrumpGazaCeasefire #GazaTruce #RonDermer #GazaCrisis #UNAidLooted #GazaHostages #TrumpOnGaza #GazaCasualties #IsraelUnderFire #PalestinianDeaths #GazaFoodBlockade #CeasefireTalks #HamasHostageDeal #NetanyahuGaza #IranIsraelWarImpact #TrumpPeaceDeal #GazaWarNews Also Read Explosions Rock Tel Aviv, Haifa as Israel-Iran Conflict Reaches New High :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explosions-rock-tel-aviv-haifa-as-israel-iran-conflict-reaches-new-high-4182705.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Military Airstrikes Fully Disable Yemen's International Airport Amid Houthi Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-airstrikes-disable-yemen-international-airport-011-4145405.html?ref=DMDesc UN Peacekeepers in South Lebanon Targeted by Israeli Airstrikes Amid Escalating Hezbollah Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-peacekeepers-south-lebanon-israel-hezbollah-conflict-011-3958449.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Netanyahu Claims Victory After Tehran Strike | Hamas Abandoned By Iran | No Backup From Tehran? [Video]

Netanyahu Claims Victory After Tehran Strike | Hamas Abandoned By Iran | No Backup From Tehran?

Hamas is struggling to survive in Gaza amid internal rebellions by local clans and relentless Israeli military pressure. Weakened by a loss of commanders and much of its tunnel network, the group faces growing uncertainty over continued Iranian support after key Iranian figures were targeted by Israel. With Israel backing rival tribes, Hamas fighters operate autonomously but face growing challenges maintaining control. A ceasefire is urgently needed for Hamas to regroup and suppress rogue elements. The situation exposes deep fractures within Gaza and raises questions about Hamas’s future amid shifting regional dynamics. #Hamas #GazaConflict #Israel #Iran #MiddleEast #Ceasefire #GazaCrisis #HamasRebellion #IsraelIranTensions #GazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #HamasClans #IranSupport #IsraelMilitary #GazaNews ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Why Qatari Def. System Saved Al-Udeid Base Not U.S? All About Iran Attack On Qatar [Video]

Why Qatari Def. System Saved Al-Udeid Base Not U.S? All About Iran Attack On Qatar

In a dramatic twist, it was Qatar’s own air defense system—not U.S. interceptors—that initially shielded the Al‑Udeid Air Base from Iran’s multi‑warhead Ghadr‑H missiles. Seamlessly integrated and rapidly activated, Doha’s Patriot batteries detected and neutralized several incoming warheads, halting their approach before CENTCOM’s systems could fully engage. The speed and precision of Qatar’s defense network underscored the country’s strategic importance and deep coordination with U.S. forces. Experts suggest this success could reshape Gulf military dynamics and highlights Qatar’s growing role as frontline guardian amid Iran’s escalating retaliatory campaign. #IranMissileStrike #AlUdeidBase #QatarDefense #IRGCAttack #USBasesTargeted #GhadrHMissile #MiddleEastTensions #OperationTidingsOfVictory #BallisticMissiles #CENTCOMQatar #IranRetaliation #StraitOfHormuz #IranVsUSA #QatarAirDefense #USMilitaryAlert #RedAlertQatar #DohaExplosions #MissileInterception #IranWarFootage #USIranCrisis ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Reduced to ASHES in Seconds! The Moment Mohammed Sinwar was blown apart in IDF Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the death of Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar in a targeted IDF operation. The strike, carried out on May 13 beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, marked a major blow to Hamas leadership. Sinwar, brother of slain leader Yahya Sinwar, had succeeded him after his death. His elimination leaves only one known pre-war Hamas brigade leader alive, signaling a possible turning point in Israel's effort to dismantle the militant group’s command structure. #Israel #Netanyahu #MohammedSinwar #Hamas #IDF #KhanYounis #GazaStrike #HamasLeadership #YahyaSinwar #TunnelWarfare #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #GazaWar #IsraelDefenseForces #GazaUpdate #IDFOperations #CounterTerrorism #MilitaryStrike #SinwarKilled #GazaTunnel #GazaHospitalStrike #HamasChiefDead #IsraelHamasConflict #WarOnTerror #SecurityUpdate #SinwarBrothers #ConflictNews Also Read Israel Recovers Thousands of Items from Eli Cohen's Syrian Archive After 60 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-recovers-syrian-archive-eli-cohen-spy-011-4157213.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu: Response To Iran-Backed Houthi Attack Will Come With ‘Many Bangs’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-response-to-iran-backed-houthi-attack-will-come-with-many-bangs-4143405.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
