U.S Plots to turn Gaza into 'Tourist Riviera'-Hamas Rejects Trump’s Plan, Calls Illegal & Dangerous

A leaked plan reportedly under consideration by U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to place the Gaza Strip under American control and forcibly relocate millions of Palestinians. Hamas has strongly condemned the proposal, calling it a form of ethnic cleansing, while ordinary Gazans insist their homeland is not for sale. The controversial plan envisions Gaza as a “tourist Riviera” and high-tech zone, displacing its current population either abroad or into restricted areas. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue heavy operations in Gaza City, destroying homes and killing dozens of civilians, escalating the humanitarian crisis. #Gaza #Hamas #TrumpPlan #EthnicCleansing #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #GazaUnderAttack #HumanRights #USPolicy #GazaCrisis #RedSeaTensions #StopDisplacement Also Read UN Declares Famine In Gaza City, Describes Situation As Humanitarian Disaster :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-declares-famine-in-gaza-city-describes-situation-as-humanitarian-disaster-011-7838467.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Kills 5 Al Jazeera Journalist In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-kills-5-al-jazeera-journalist-in-gaza-011-7826025.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~

Maduro WARNS Trump against Regime Change attempts | Venezuela faces ‘Biggest Threat’ in 100 years

Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have escalated sharply as President Nicolás Maduro accused former President Donald Trump of plotting regime change through military force. U.S. warships, armed with 1,200 missiles and a submarine, have been deployed in the Caribbean, which Maduro labeled the “biggest threat in 100 years.” Defiant, he vowed Venezuela is “super prepared” and warned of a “Republic in Arms” if attacked. Washington denies invasion plans, insisting the buildup targets drug trafficking while doubling its $50 million reward for Maduro’s arrest. #Venezuela #Maduro #Trump #USNavy #CaribbeanCrisis #Geopolitics #RegimeChange #BreakingNews #USVenezuelaTensions #NavalBuildUp #WorldNews #LatinAmerica #RepublicInArms #DrugTrafficking #USPolitics #WashingtonVsCaracas #WarThreat #MilitaryStandoff #GlobalSecurity #MaduroVsTrump #CaribbeanShowdown #CrisisAlert #MaduroDefiant #USDeployment #MissileThreat #VenezuelaCrisis #NarcoticsCartel #InterventionFears #MilitaryEscalation #GlobalConflict ~HT.318~

Trump’s Fierce Warning to Putin as Russia Bombs Ukraine despite Alaska talks|‘All Options on Table’ [Video]

Trump’s Fierce Warning to Putin as Russia Bombs Ukraine despite Alaska talks|‘All Options on Table’

U.S. President Donald Trump is signaling a tougher stance on Russia as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that all options remain open for new sanctions amid Moscow’s intensified bombardment of Ukraine. Bessent called Putin’s actions “despicable and defiant,” marking the strongest hint yet of looming economic penalties. Despite Trump’s earlier hopes for diplomacy after his Alaska summit with Putin, frustration is mounting as Russian strikes escalate, fueling speculation that sanctions—or even broader confrontation—could push the U.S. and Russia closer to all-out conflict. #Trump #Putin #RussiaUkraineWar #USSanctions #ScottBessent #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #WorldWar3 #TrumpVsPutin #BreakingNews #USRussiaTensions #UkraineConflict #MoscowStrikes #DiplomacyFail #GlobalSecurity #TrumpSummit #AlaskaSummit #PutinBombings #USForeignPolicy #RussiaSanctions #WarEscalation #PoliticalDrama #InternationalCrisis #UkraineUpdates #EconomicWar #TrumpThreatens #GlobalOrder #USPolitics #WhiteHouseMoves #KremlinCrisis Also Read Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy Calls Modi Ahead Of SCO Summit, Days Before PM’s Meeting With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-calls-modi-ahead-of-sco-summit-days-before-pm-s-meeting-with-putin-7845961.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Tariffs Face Legal Blow, US Court Tags It Illegal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-tariffs-face-legal-blow-us-court-tags-it-illegal-7845261.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.96~

SCO Summit BREAKING: Putin Meets Xi | Most Powerful Moment Of SCO Summit 2025

At the SCO Summit, a powerful moment unfolded as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in a private and seemingly warm conversation. Xi immediately called for his interpreter after the photo-op, ensuring a lengthy and precise exchange with Putin while other world leaders lined up for the traditional family photo. Their relaxed smiles suggested not just diplomacy, but a bond strengthening at a time of rising global tensions. The interaction is already being seen as symbolic of a deepening Russia-China axis, potentially unsettling the West. Observers note that this visible show of unity comes as U.S. and NATO seek to counter both Moscow and Beijing’s influence. For many, it was more than just small talk—it was a message of strategic alignment, one that could shift the global balance of power. #Putin #XiJinping #RussiaChina #SCOSummit #Geopolitics #SCO #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #StrategicAlliance #WorldNews #PutinXi #BRICS #NATO #USChina #USRussia #PowerShift #Summit2025 #MultipolarWorld #EastVsWest #GlobalOrder ~HT.410~
