UK condemns Israel's approval of plans for new West Bank settlement to 'erase' idea of Palestinian state
Wednesday, 20 August 2025 () The UK has condemned Israel's approval of plans for a new West Bank settlement, which has been hailed as "erasing" the idea of a Palestinian state by an Israeli minister.
Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a massive offensive to seize Gaza City from Hamas militants. Heavy bombardments forced thousands of Palestinians to flee south amid urgent UN warnings of mass civilian deaths. Defense Minister Israel Katz called up 60,000 reservists, while...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.

Israel has said it has begun the first stages of its takeover of Gaza City - as the UK condemned the approval of plans for a new West Bank settlement. Sky News
Just a day after Hamas approved a 60-day ceasefire deal, Israel launched fresh strikes across Gaza, killing at least 26 people, including women and children, according to Palestinian sources. The attacks hit displacement tents, food aid centers, and crowds waiting for supplies, sparking fears of a renewed escalation. The ceasefire, which included a partial hostage release in exchange for halting Israeli military expansion, is now in jeopardy. Analysts warn Hamas may retaliate, putting fragile peace efforts at risk once again.
