Palestine to be a NATION-STATE in September? | Mahmoud Abbas likely to make BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at UN

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash. #Palestine #Statehood #MahmoudAbbas #UNGA #France #UK #MiddleEast #Israel #BenGvir #Netanyahu #StateRecognition #BreakingNews #PalestineState #MiddleEastPolitics #PLO #PalestinianAuthority #Macron #InternationalRecognition #Gaza #Diplomacy #PeaceProcess #IsraelPalestine #UNGeneralAssembly #GlobalPolitics #HumanRights #PoliticalBacklash #MiddleEastPeace #PalestineNews #Recognition #TwoStateSolution Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc 'Azad Kashmir', 'Free Palestine' Graffiti At Jadavpur University Triggers Row :: https://www.oneindia.com/kolkata/azad-kashmir-free-palestine-graffiti-at-jadavpur-university-triggers-row-4091993.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Withdrawal From UN Human Rights Body, Halts Funding For Palestinian Refugees :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-withdrawal-from-un-human-rights-body-halts-funding-for-palestinian-refugees-4062559.html?ref=DMDesc

‘DISMANTLE Palestinian Authority!!’ Israel’s EXPLOSIVE Warning Ahead of UN General Assembly Of Sept [Video]

‘DISMANTLE Palestinian Authority!!’ Israel’s EXPLOSIVE Warning Ahead of UN General Assembly Of Sept

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take “immediate” steps to topple the Palestinian Authority (PA). In a fiery statement, Ben Gvir said this was the only suitable response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s reported plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September. He labeled Abbas a “terrorist” and the PA a “terror authority,” demanding its dismantling without delay. His comments follow reports from Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that Abbas is preparing a bold diplomatic move as several nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UN gathering in New York. The push comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as far-right Israeli leaders push for aggressive measures against Palestinian political leadership. Netanyahu has yet to respond publicly, but the call adds pressure on Israel’s cabinet to take a definitive stance ahead of the high-profile international event. #BenGvir #Netanyahu #PalestinianAuthority #Israel #Palestine #MahmoudAbbas #UNGA #Statehood #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Politics #Diplomacy #UN #Jerusalem #Gaza #WestBank #FarRight #IsraelPolitics #PeaceProcess #InternationalRelations.

'Dare To Touch Al-Aqsa': Al-Quds Fighters RAIN QUDS-3 Rockets on IDF Forces After Ben Gvir’s Visit [Video]

'Dare To Touch Al-Aqsa': Al-Quds Fighters RAIN QUDS-3 Rockets on IDF Forces After Ben Gvir’s Visit

Hamas’ Al-Quds Brigades fired Quds-3 rockets at Israeli positions near the Nir Am settlement in the Gaza envelope, claiming the strike was retaliation for Minister Ben Gvir’s controversial actions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. New combat visuals show fighters preparing and launching the rockets from infiltration axes inside Gaza. The militants say the attack targeted Israeli troops before, during, and after the Gideon’s Chariots operation. As Israel pushes deeper into Gaza under Netanyahu’s new control plan, Hamas-aligned groups intensify guerrilla strikes on IDF forces and armored units. #AlQudsBrigades #Hamas #Quds3 #Gaza #Israel #BenGvir #AlAqsa #RocketAttack #ResistanceNews #GazaWar #MiddleEast #IDF #Netanyahu #WarFootage #BreakingNews #Palestine #GazaUnderAttack #RetaliationStrike #MilitaryConflict #GazaResistance #RocketBarrage #CombatVideo #GazaCity #IsraeliForces #GuerrillaWarfare #OccupiedPalestine #IsraelPalestine #WarUpdates #FrontlineNews #ConflictZone Also Read 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 Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~

Netanyahu SLAMMED by his own NSA as Israel Suffers in ‘Unwinnable’ war against Hamas in Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to seize Gaza City has sparked fierce internal opposition, with National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi warning it would endanger ten hostages and fail to pressure Hamas. Top officials, including IDF Chief Eyal Zamir and Mossad head David Barnea, reportedly opposed the move, urging a ceasefire for negotiations. Despite warnings, the security cabinet approved the plan, backed by ministers Israel Katz, Ron Dermer, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben Gvir, aiming to weaken Hamas but stopping short of a full Gaza occupation. #Netanyahu #GazaWar #Israel #Hamas #TzachiHanegbi #IDF #Mossad #HostageCrisis #Ceasefire #WarCabinet #IsraelPolitics #GazaCity #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #MilitaryStrategy #BenGvir #Smotrich #RonDermer #IsraelKatz #HamasWar #IsraelNews #GazaTakeover #SecurityCabinet #WarDecision #HostagesInGaza #IsraelDefense #MilitaryTensions Also Read Benjamin Netanyahu Falls Ill Amid Political Crisis, Diagnosed With Food Poisoning :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-falls-ill-amid-political-crisis-diagnosed-with-food-poisoning-7806875.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Labels Netanyahu Case A ‘Witch Hunt,’ Blasts Israeli Prosecutors :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-labels-netanyahu-case-a-witch-hunt-blasts-israeli-prosecutors-7786131.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

Yemen Breaking: Houthis Confirm Yemen PM Killed In Sana'a | Israel Kills Yemeni PM | Houthis LIVE TV

Yemeni state TV has officially confirmed the death of Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahawi, declaring him a “martyr” after an Israeli airstrike on Sana’a. The presidency of Yemen’s Houthi-led government said the prime minister and several ministers were killed during a routine government workshop on August 28. For days, Houthis had denied Israeli claims of assassinating Al-Rahawi, accusing Tel Aviv of targeting only civilians. The announcement comes after weeks of escalating Israeli strikes on Yemen, launched in response to Houthi missile and drone attacks against Israel and Western ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Thursday’s deadly attack followed earlier Israeli bombardments that killed 10 people and injured over 90. Despite the assassination, the Houthis vowed to continue military operations in solidarity with Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza, warning that Israel’s aggression will not deter their campaign. #Yemen #Houthis #Sanaa #AlRahawi #IsraelStrike #MiddleEastWar #RedSea #GazaWar #HouthisIsrael #BreakingNews #HouthisAttack #IDF #Palestine #HouthisMissiles #YemenPM #IsraelYemen #HouthisVsIsrael #HouthiLeadership #MiddleEastConflict #HouthisWar ~HT.410~ED.103~

ON CAM: ‘They Will Be KILLED’ Hamas’ Big Warning To Netanyahu | Deadly Gaza Ambush Kills 1

Hamas has issued a chilling warning that Israeli troops will be killed or captured if Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City. Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades, declared that occupying Gaza City would “cost the enemy in the blood of its soldiers” and increase the number of captives. Hours later, Hamas fighters ambushed Israeli forces in Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood, killing at least one soldier, wounding nine, and reportedly capturing four. The Israeli military confirmed it has begun the “initial stages” of occupying Gaza City, declaring it a combat zone. Experts call the ambush a major setback for Israel’s military campaign, as heavy clashes rage and helicopters evacuate wounded troops. Since October 7, Israel’s war has killed over 63,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. The UN warns that seizing Gaza City could displace nearly one million civilians, further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe. #Hamas #Israel #Gaza #GazaCity #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #War #Conflict #AbuObeida #Palestine #Zelensky #Netanyahu #Resistance #Military #Ceasefire #UN #WarCrimes #PalestinianCrisis #IsraelGazaWar #Breaking ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

‘Israel Is Committing…’ Houthis Denounce Israel’s ‘Expansion’ Plan|Warns Muslim Nations Of ‘Zionism’

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted. #Israel #Gaza #Houthi #GreaterIsrael #Netanyahu #Ansarullah #Palestine #WestBank #AlAqsa #Hezbollah #Hamas #MiddleEast #Zionism #USPolitics #GazaWar #MuslimWorld #RedSea #Egypt #SaudiArabia #Resistance ~ED.102~HT.408~
