Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fiery warning to Israel and the U.S., vowing that Lebanon will never surrender to foreign “tyranny.” Speaking from Beirut, Qassem declared the resistance against Israeli occupation and American influence as “divine and unstoppable.” As Israeli strikes escalate in South Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for national unity, warns against Western-backed factions, and frames its struggle as one for dignity, justice, and regional sovereignty. A bold message amid rising Middle East tensions.

A deadly ambush in eastern Khan Younis has left multiple Israeli soldiers dead after Palestinian resistance fighters detonated powerful explosives inside a booby-trapped house. Al-Quds Brigades and Islamic Jihad forces launched coordinated strikes using RPGs, barrel bombs, and the devastating “Thaqeb” device to destroy Israeli armor, including a Merkava tank.
The Israeli military scrambled helicopters for evacuation under heavy fire as reinforcements came under attack. This marks a major escalation in guerrilla-style warfare inside Gaza, with Palestinian factions warning of more complex and lethal operations ahead.
The IDF has acknowledged rising casualties—but Palestinian sources claim the real numbers are much higher. Is Israel losing control of its ground offensive?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on July 7 to meet U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating efforts to end the 20-month-long Gaza war. The meeting will focus on securing a ceasefire, releasing hostages held for nearly two years, and addressing regional tensions with Iran following a recent U.S.-brokered halt to their 12-day air war. Israel is also pushing the U.S. to pressure Qatar to negotiate concessions from Hamas.

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the region’s most densely populated areas.
