Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened further strikes on Lebanon unless Hezbollah disarms, following recent airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The IDF claims it targeted an Iran-backed Hezbollah drone unit, though Hezbollah denies this. Lebanon’s President Aoun condemned the attack as a breach of international law, accusing Israel of endangering civilians to make a political statement. With tensions high and ceasefire lines crossed repeatedly, Lebanon's leaders demand international action to stop what they call systematic Israeli aggression.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. The strike, in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, disrupted air traffic and sent thousands into shelters. Yemeni Armed Forces vowed continued support for Gaza and Lebanon, stating attacks will persist until Israel ends its war on Gaza. While Israel claims the missile was intercepted, sirens rang across central Israel and occupied territories. This marks Yemen’s first official missile strike on Israeli infrastructure from afar.

Hezbollah’s Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump: unless he frees himself from Israel’s control, any hope for success in the Middle East is doomed. Resistance is not just a choice — it’s the only path to dignity, freedom, and national survival. With decades of struggle behind them, Hezbollah and its allies vow no surrender, only victory or martyrdom. Watch as they lay bare the truth about U.S. involvement, Israeli occupation, and the unbreakable spirit of Lebanon’s resistance. This is a message Washington and Tel Aviv cannot ignore.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor. Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online. Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure. Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes. The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate.
