Breaking: Hamas FIRES Massive Rocket On Israel From Gaza | Abu Obaida All Out War After Trump Speech

A day after Gaza ceasefire talks failed, Hamas fired a rocket toward Israel’s border community of Kissufim, reigniting tensions. Despite Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, Hamas continues covert operations, killing multiple IDF soldiers through guerrilla tactics and IED blasts. Al-Qassam spokesperson Abu Obeida warned of a prolonged attrition war if Israeli tanks push deeper into Gaza. The latest attack underscores Israel’s struggle to fully contain Hamas, signaling a new phase of resistance from Gaza’s militants. #Hamas #Israel #Gaza #Ceasefire #RocketAttack #IDF #MiddleEastConflict #WarInGaza #BorderTensions #Palestine #IsraeliArmy #AlQassam #AbuObeida #Resistance #AttritionWar #GuerrillaWarfare #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #IsraelGazaWar #MideastCrisis #MilitaryUpdate #Terrorism #DefenseNews #RocketStrike #PeaceTalksFail #Kissufim #IDFCasualties #SilentOperations #GazaResistance #SecurityCrisis Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends? [Video]

Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending. #SaudiSyriaDeal #MiddleEastShift #SyriaReconstruction #BreakingNews #IsraelBlow #AlSharaa #SaudiInvestment #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #DruzeCrisis #QatarSyriaDebt #MiddleEastUpdate #DamascusDeals #EnergyInvestment #SaudiDiplomacy #ArabUnity #RebuildSyria #SyriaEconomy #IsraelVsSyria #ConstructionBoom #NetanyahuSetback #HumanRightsCrisis #PostWarRecovery #WesternSanctions #SaudiSoftPower #GulfPolitics #SyriaNews #SectarianUnrest #JobCreation #SyriaFuture #RedrawingAlliances #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

VIDEO: Big SHOCKER For Trump & Zelensky As Putin SMASHES Patriots & ‘LIBERATES’ 5 Ukrainian Towns

In a stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers. With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PatriotMissile #HypersonicMissiles #Kinzhal #Sumy #Donetsk #Battlefield #MilitaryUpdate #UkraineCrisis #RussianArmy #WarNews #BreakingNews #UkrainianForces #Putin #USWeapons #BlackSea #NavalDrones #DroneWar #Geopolitics Also Read India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc Can You Hit Moscow?

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

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. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects… [Video]

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects…

In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations. Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine. #Trump #PutinZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #ZelenskyPutinMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpPeaceDeal #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #MartialLaw #UkraineElections #TrumpTariffs #PeaceTalks #KremlinRejects #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineSummit #TrumpThreat #ZelenskyLegitimacy #UkraineRussiaTensions #WorldNews

Zelensky Fails As Kremlin Rejects One-On-One Meeting With Putin | Trump’s Sanction Deadline Nears

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline. While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast. #ZelenskyPutin #UkraineRussia #Kremlin #Putin #Zelensky #TrumpSanctions #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #USRussia #UkraineCrisis #TrumpPutin #RussiaSanctions #KremlinStatement #DiplomaticDeadlock #BreakingNews #UkraineNews #EasternEurope #RussiaVsUkraine #Geopolitics #TrumpUltimatum ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

‘China's links with Russia…’ EU Chief’s SHOCKING Ultimatum To China Amid EU-China Summit | EU-China

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations. Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen. #ChinaEU #BeijingSummit #ChinaRussiaTies #UkraineWar #TradeTensions #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #XiJinping #Geopolitics #RareEarths #ClimateTalks #EUChinaSummit #EUChinaRelations #MultipolarWorld #GlobalDiplomacy #TradeImbalance #GreenEnergy #Brussels #WesternSanctions #GlobalStability #PeaceTalks ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits…

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets. Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure. #UkraineRussiaWar #SochiAttack #UkraineDrones #BlackSeaStrike #DroneWarfare #SochiExplosion #RussiaUnderAttack #SiriusHub #CiviliansTargeted #RussiaUkraineConflict #PeaceTalksFail #PutinZelensky #IstanbulTalks #UkraineStrikesBack #OilTerminalHit #EvacuationsInSochi #AirRaidSirens #RussiaWarNews #ExplosionsInSochi #GeopoliticalTensions ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
