Netanyahu makes BIG statement on Operations in Gaza | ‘Will go with full force...’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "defeat and destroy Hamas with full force" in the coming days, clarifying that any ceasefire deal would be strictly temporary. Just hours later, the IDF bombed two hospitals in Gaza, Nasser and the European Hospital, killing at least 45 people. Netanyahu has also ruled out ending the war in Gaza even if Hamas agrees to release the remaining hostages. As Netanyahu promises to “go all the way,” prospects for a ceasefire appear to be unraveling. #Netanyahu #IsraelGazaWar #Hamas #GazaUnderFire #IDF #FullForce #GazaCeasefire #GazaCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #GazaHospitals #WarInGaza #HostageCrisis #BreakingNews #IsraelStrikes #NasserHospital #EuropeanHospital #MilitaryEscalation #HamasDenies #GazaNews #PoliticalTensions #NetanyahuSpeech #NoCeasefire #DestroyHamas #GazaWar #CivilianCasualties #CeasefireTalks #WarEscalation #IsraelNews #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastNews Also Read 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 Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

Houthi Warns Gulf States: ‘Don’t Trust Trump, Remember Palestine’ | Demands Action Against Israel

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemen’s Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises. #Houthi #Yemen #DonaldTrump #MiddleEast #USPolitics #Ceasefire #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #GulfPolitics #RedSea #IsraelYemenConflict #Gaza #Palestine #TrumpVisit #Truce #ArabWorld #MohammedAliAlHouthi #OmanMediation #GulfWarning #USAllies #HouthiResponse #TrumpMiddleEast #IsraelStrikes #DefensePolicy #ArabUnity #PoliticalWarning #MiddleEastCrisis #WashingtonDeal #Geopolitics Also Read Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc

Al-Quds Hit Senior Israeli Officials in Shujaiya Ambush: Operation 'Gideon’s Chariots' Under Fire

In a bold operation, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a fierce ambush on Israeli troops in Gaza’s Shujaiya neighborhood, wounding senior officers. The attack is part of a growing resistance against Israel's ongoing "Gideon’s Chariots" operation. As tensions escalate, the operation faces widespread criticism for its lack of legitimacy and clarity in military objectives. Meanwhile, Palestinian factions continue to make significant gains, with the Israeli military suffering casualties and even losing control of valuable intelligence assets. #Gaza #Shujaiya #OperationGideonsChariots #AlQudsBrigades #IsraeliMilitary #PalestinianResistance #IsraelUnderFire #GazaConflict #MiddleEastConflict #Hamas #IDF #Palestine #IsraeliOfficers #UrbanCombat #ResistanceStrikesBack

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage.

Operation Sindoor: World Backs Indian Strikes On Pak Terror Launchpads | UN And China Warn Of War

India has launched precision missile strikes on nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the deadly Pahalgam attack. Officials claim the targets were strictly non-military, aiming at Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba bases. The United States, United Nations, and China have all responded, urging restraint. While Israel backed India's right to self-defence, Pakistan has retaliated with deadly artillery fire.
