BREAKING: Israel’s Ben-Gvir SPARKS OUTRAGE After Turkey Cuts ALL Trade, Airspace & Ports To Israel

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has ignited outrage after equating Turkey with Hamas, following Ankara’s decision to cut all trade ties, close airspace, and shut ports to Israel. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, intensifying tensions. President Erdoğan, who has long defended Hamas, compared Netanyahu to Hitler while slamming Israel as a “terror state.” Ben-Gvir, notorious for incendiary remarks, has previously called for shooting women and children. Hamas praised Turkey’s move, urging other nations to impose similar bans. #BenGvir #Israel #Turkey #Hamas #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelTurkeyTensions #Erdoğan #Netanyahu #GenocideAccusations #TradeBan #GazaCrisis #ForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #MiddleEastPolitics #TurkeyIsrael #Geopolitics #IsraelNews #Ankara #TelAviv #TurkeyVsIsrael #ConflictUpdate #GazaWar #HumanRights #WorldPolitics #IsraelPalestine #GlobalNews #TurkeyBan #BenGvirControversy #ErdoğanSpeech #DiplomaticCrisis Also Read Israeli Military Conducts Airstrikes On Yemen's Capital Sanaa Following Houthi Missile Launches :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-on-yemens-capital-sanaa-011-7839689.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 Lists 5 Principles To End Gaza War, Slams ‘Global Campaign Of Lies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-gaza-liberation-hamas-prime-minister-netanyahu-011-7825831.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

‘New Arab War Coming?’ Syria Issues WAR THREAT To Israel | Israel’s Strikes in Damascus Backfire?

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syria’s battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs. #Syria #Israel #MiddleEast #Sharaa #Netanyahu #WarThreat #Damascus #Suweida #Druze #Bedouin #SyrianCrisis #IsraeliStrikes #ConflictZone #PeaceVsWar #RegionalTensions #SyrianPresident #BreakingNews #MiddleEastPolitics #WarWatch #Geopolitics #SyrianNews #IsraelSyria #SectarianTensions #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryConflict #Protests #UnityOrDivision #SyrianForces #MideastCrisis #SharaaSpeech Also Read 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 Lists 5 Principles To End Gaza War, Slams ‘Global Campaign Of Lies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-gaza-liberation-hamas-prime-minister-netanyahu-011-7825831.html?ref=DMDesc Not Going To Occupy Gaza, Will Free It From Hamas: Israel PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/not-going-to-occupy-gaza-will-free-it-from-hamas-israel-pm-netanyahu-011-7824689.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

Hellfire Near Athens: People Flee As Homes And History At Risk As Greece Wildfires Rage Near Athens

Southeastern Greece is battling relentless wildfires, with flames threatening towns just 50 km from Athens and forcing mass evacuations. In Keratea and Palaia Fokaia, residents fled as gale-force winds drove the blaze into homes, killing one elderly man. Fire crews, backed by water-bombing aircraft, worked through the night to contain the inferno, while villages near Ancient Olympia were evacuated amid fears for the historic site. Meteorologists warn of “meltemi” winds reaching 70 km/h, fanning the fires across Attica and the Peloponnese. The blazes have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland, homes, and pine forests, raising alarms over long-term environmental devastation and economic loss. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis convened an emergency cabinet meeting, calling the situation “fluid and dangerous.” With memories of past fire tragedies like Mati in 2018 still raw, Greece braces for more flare-ups as the weekend’s dangerous winds close in. #Greece #Wildfires #Athens #Keratea #PalaiaFokaia #AncientOlympia #ClimateCrisis #ForestFires #Peloponnese #MeltemiWinds #Evacuations #Firefighters #BreakingNews #Environment #AthensWildfire #OliveGroves #KyriakosMitsotakis #Heatwave #Emergency #Disaster ~HT.318~ED.103~
