Ben Gvir DEFIES Protocols, Prays on Temple Mount | Arab States FUME, Warn of ‘Dangerous Escalation’

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.” #BenGvir #TempleMount #TishaBAv #AlAqsa #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEast #Jerusalem #StatusQuo #HolySite #ReligiousTensions #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #Netanyahu #PA #SaudiArabia #Jordan #AlAqsaMosque #DomeOfTheRock #JewishPrayer #BreakingNews #FarRightPolitics #InternationalCondemnation #AFPFootage #TempleMountVisit #ReligiousFlashpoint #MiddleEastNews #JerusalemConflict #HolySiteTensions #WorshipRights #GeoPolitics #ConflictZone ~ED.103~HT.408~

Gaza Aid Attacks: Gaza Aid Attacks Expose Humanitarian Collapse in Conflict Zone

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones. #GazaAidAttacks #GazaUnderFire #HumanitarianCrisis #BloodstainedFlour #VoicesFromGaza

Trump CORNERED On Palestine? US Democrats Pen Letter To Trump To Recognise Palestine State | US News

As global momentum builds for Palestinian statehood, pressure is mounting on Donald Trump. Over a dozen U.S. House Democrats, led by Rep. Ro Khanna, have penned a letter urging the Trump administration to formally recognize a Palestinian state. Citing the ongoing war in Gaza and recent moves by France and the U.K., lawmakers warn that the U.S. risks diplomatic isolation if it doesn’t act. The letter references the 22-state Arab League plan and stresses the need for mutual security guarantees for both Israel and Palestine. Some Democrats, including Rep. Al Green and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, is also pushing for further congressional action. #TrumpOnPalestine #PalestinianStatehood #StateOfPalestine #TrumpMiddleEastPolicy #PalestineRecognition #TrumpNews #DonaldTrumpLatest #USIsraelPalestine #TrumpCornered #EthnicCleansingPalestine #PalestineStatehoodNow #FrancePalestineSupport #UKPalestinePlan #CanadaForPalestine #TrumpNetanyahuDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #PalestineUnderOccupation #USPoliticsNews ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.102~

‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal. As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed. #gaza #hamas #israel #trump #witkoff #hostagecrisis #ceasefire #gazawar #palestine #netanyahu #usenvoy #twostatesolution #humanitariancatastrophe #gazafamine #idf #reconstruction #telavivprotests #gazaceasefire #hamasdisarmament #middleeastpeace ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~
