‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu [Video]

‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time? #Trump #Israel #Hostages #GazaWar #Netanyahu #Hamas #GazaCity #OperationIronFist #OvalOffice #IDF #Ceasefire #MiddleEast #HostageCrisis #BreakingNews #TwoFrontWar #USPolitics #Palestine #HostageFamilies #October7 #WarEscalation ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Israel Grapples With A Two-Front War As Houthi & Hamas Attack Together | Gaza War Escalates [Video]

Israel Grapples With A Two-Front War As Houthi & Hamas Attack Together | Gaza War Escalates

Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemen’s Armed Forces announced they fired a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in Gaza—Israel is now under fire from multiple fronts. #Israel #Houthis #Yemen #Hamas #GazaWar #TelAviv #BenGurion #HypersonicMissile #DroneStrike #Iran #Hezbollah #RedSea #AxisOfResistance #Ashkelon #TwoFrontWar #IDF #Palestine2 #IsraelHamasWar #MiddleEast #WarEscalation ~HT.318~ED.102~

Yemen’s Armed Forces have stunned Israel with a massive escalation — firing a hypersonic ballistic missile and multiple explosive drones that zoomed past interception systems. Ben Gurion Airport was struck with the deadly “Palestine-2” missile, while Tel Aviv and Ashkelon were hit with drone attacks. Israel was thrown into chaos as flights were halted, shelters filled, and defenses failed to stop the assault. Is this the beginning of a wider war in the region?

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. #GazaFamine #UNReport #StarvationCrisis #Palestine #GazaUnderSiege #HumanitarianCrisis #Blockade #MiddleEast #Israel #UNWarning #HungerCrisis #GlobalJustice #SaveGaza #PalestinianLives #UNAlert #GazaStarvation #MuslimNationsSilent #BreakingNews #WorldCrisis #IPCReport #HumanRights #FamineDeclared #Gaza ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

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

‘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~
