Netanyahu says ceasefire will not go ahead until Hamas releases list of hostages to be freed
Sunday, 19 January 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has said a ceasefire in Gaza due to take effect this morning will not happen if Hamas fails to issue the list of the hostages up for release.
Hamas has released three Israeli hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, after 471 days of captivity. Their mothers anxiously awaited their return at an IDF facility near the border, where the hostages are being escorted for initial medical checkups. The three women were...
Thousands of Israelis flooded the streets of Tel Aviv, marching from Hostage Square to the US Embassy, demanding an immediate and comprehensive hostage deal with Hamas. Families of captives, backed by freed hostages, pleaded with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump to finalize an agreement to bring all remaining hostages home.
Freed hostage Doron Steinbrecher passionately urged both leaders to "make Israel great again," referencing her 471 days of terror in Gaza tunnels. Protesters carried Israeli and American flags, and banners demanding Trump’s leadership. The powerful march came amid stalled ceasefire talks in Qatar, and rising frustration with Israel's government. Some demonstrators also condemned army draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews, adding fuel to the fire. With at least 50 hostages still in captivity and negotiations stalling, desperation and political anger are boiling over. The world watches as Israel pleads for a resolution to this human tragedy.

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a call with Pope Leo XIV following the deadly IDF strike on Gaza’s Holy Family Church, which killed three civilians. The Pope expressed deep sorrow, called for an immediate ceasefire, and urged protection of worship sites. He also warned of Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis. While Netanyahu’s office called the exchange “friendly,” the Vatican stressed moral responsibility. The Latin Patriarchate and global Christian groups have condemned the strike, demanding Israel halt attacks on sacred sites and civilians.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

In a stunning political shake-up, the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties have walked out of Israel’s ruling coalition over a controversial draft law. With his parliamentary majority gone, Netanyahu is now leading a fragile minority government—just as critical U.S.-backed ceasefire talks with Hamas reach a boiling point. Will the far-right tighten their grip? Is this the beginning of the end for Bibi’s government?

An Israeli soldier, Staff Sgt. Amit Cohen, 19, from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, was killed in southern Gaza as IDF forces pushed deeper into Khan Younis. A preliminary probe revealed Cohen died from an Israeli munitions blast, highlighting the dangers of the ongoing ground offensive. Hamas’s military wing continues targeted attacks, vowing an attrition war if Israeli tanks advance further. Despite years of war, Hamas remains undefeated, with IDF morale weakening as more soldiers are lost, including five in a deadly IED attack on July 8.

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida has issued a chilling warning to Israel, vowing intensified guerrilla warfare in Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israel’s prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat.
Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veterans’ deaths remain uncounted. With Israel’s military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategic—but deeply human.

Shocking videos from Syria’s Sweida province show Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants executing Druze civilians in a surge of sectarian bloodshed. Victims, targeted for their faith, are seen kneeling with hands on their heads before being gunned down. Some videos even show HTS fighters burning bodies and celebrating the killings. The violence, part of a wider Druze-Bedouin conflict, marks one of the bloodiest weeks in southern Syria’s civil war, with hundreds killed in escalating sectarian clashes.

Hours after Iranian FM Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s refusal to abandon nuclear enrichment, the IDF issued a sharp warning, vowing the campaign against Iran “isn’t over.” Israel signaled continued military readiness, citing multi-front operations against Hezbollah and Iranian targets. Araghchi called the nuclear program a national achievement, while acknowledging U.S. B-2 bomber strikes caused severe damage. Trump shared the remarks as proof of success, threatening further attacks. With Iran’s defiance and Israel’s vow to strike, the Middle East risks sliding toward a wider regional conflict.
