Israel's SINISTER Plan: Netanyahu Vows To Continue Gaza War Despite World Flags His War Crimes

Israel faces mounting global condemnation over its military campaign in Gaza, accused of using starvation tactics and blocking aid. Despite backlash, Prime Minister Netanyahu has doubled down, vowing to continue operations until Hamas is fully eliminated. With over 20,000 Hamas fighters reportedly still active and Israeli casualties rising, the war grinds on. Europe and human rights groups have urged Israel and the U.S. to halt the blockade, but Netanyahu, speaking from Ramon Air Base, insists on seeing through what he calls Israel's “war goals.” Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. #Israel #GazaWar #Hamas #Netanyahu #GazaCrisis #AidBlockade #IsraelHamasConflict #MiddleEastWar #GlobalCondemnation #WarCrimes #SilentWar #AlQassam #AbuObeida #IsraelUnderFire #WarOfAttrition #StarvationTactics #CeasefireFailed #October7 #IsraelStrikesBack #WarNews #GazaSiege #InternationalPressure #MilitaryOffensive #IDF #UNWarning #GazaStrip #HumanitarianCrisis #RamonAirBase #NoAid #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews 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.410~ED.420~GR.125~

BREAKING: Putin Drops BOMBSHELL On Syria’s Sovereignty | Putin, Netanyahu Call Details Revealed

As the Middle East teeters on the edge of wider conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin underscored Russia’s commitment to peaceful solutions amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. In a bold diplomatic move, Moscow offered to mediate stalled nuclear negotiations involving Tehran, positioning itself as a central figure in the crisis. Notably, Putin warned against any actions that may compromise Syria’s sovereignty, stressing the need to respect the nation's territorial integrity and internal political stability. This conversation comes at a time when military strikes, political instability, and nuclear fears are threatening to ignite a broader regional war.

Pro-Hamas Mob Holds Israeli Cruise Passengers Hostage in Greece? Protesters BLOCK Israelis | Video

Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety. #IsraelisStranded #GreekPortProtest #ProPalestinianProtest #ManoMaritime #SyrosProtest #CruiseShipChaos #IsraelGreeceTension #PalestinianSolidarity #CrownIrisIncident #AntiIsraelProtest #TouristsTrapped #GreekIslandBlockade #IsraelTravelBan #SyrosDemonstration #MaritimeStandoff ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~
