Germany is one of Israel's strongest allies - so stopping export of arms that could be used in Gaza is huge shift
Friday, 8 August 2025 () Germany is traditionally one of Israel's strongest international backers, so the chancellor's message that it will not authorise any exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza "until further notice" is a significant step.
Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement...
The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

A New York Times report reveals how Israel tracked and assassinated top Iranian leaders during the June 2025 war by hacking into the phones of bodyguards and drivers. While senior officials avoided carrying devices, their security teams used phones — even posting on social media — which allowed Israeli intelligence to pinpoint targets. Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, was among the first killed when Israel struck his emergency war meeting. Iran later ordered guards to use only walkie-talkies, but lapses enabled further targeting attempts. Israeli officials admitted the plan was to “decapitate Iran’s leadership” in the opening strike before Tehran could mount a response. The 12-day conflict saw Israel hitting Iranian commanders, nuclear scientists, and missile sites, aiming to Cripple Tehran’s ability to wage war. The revelations expose Iran’s security vulnerabilities and Israel’s reliance on cyber-sabotage and surprise strikes in modern warfare.

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.

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.
