‘Netanyahu is Right...’ | Iran FM Araghchi takes a Jibe at PM Albanese | Iran Vs Australia over Jews [Video]

‘Netanyahu is Right...’ | Iran FM Araghchi takes a Jibe at PM Albanese | Iran Vs Australia over Jews

The Iran–Australia diplomatic feud has deepened after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi mocked Australian PM Anthony Albanese, saying even Netanyahu was “right about one thing—that Australia’s PM is a weak politician.” Araghchi rejected Canberra’s accusations that Tehran sponsored anti-Jewish attacks, stressing Iran protects one of the world’s oldest Jewish communities. He accused Albanese of appeasing Israel after Australia expelled Iran’s envoy over synagogue and café attacks. Tehran vowed retaliation, escalating tensions in a rapidly worsening diplomatic showdown. #Iran #Australia #DiplomaticShowdown #Araghchi #Netanyahu #IRGC #AnthonyAlbanese #AntiSemitism #Tehran #MiddleEastTensions #JewishCommunity #Geopolitics #IranAustraliaCrisis #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #PoliticalDrama #Canberra #PersonaNonGrata #EmbassyCrisis #IranVsAustralia #GlobalTensions #IsraelSupport #IranRetaliation #WorldNews #IRGCList #WestVsIran #IranianDiplomacy #AustraliaPolitics Also Read MS Dhoni’s Lightning-Fast Stumping Leaves Alex Carey In Awe: ‘He’s a genius’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/ms-dhoni-unconventional-stumping-james-faulkner-dismissal-011-7839303.html?ref=DMDesc Former Australian Cricketer Bob Simpson Dies At 89 :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/former-australian-cricketer-bob-simpson-dies-at-89-7831497.html?ref=DMDesc Rohit Sharma, Ritika Sajdeh's Dance Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/rohit-sharma-ritika-sajdehs-dance-video-goes-viral-011-7829913.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

U.S Democrats Clash With Rubio Over Israel’s Bombardment On Journalists | Gaza War Latest [Video]

U.S Democrats Clash With Rubio Over Israel’s Bombardment On Journalists | Gaza War Latest

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. #Israel #Gaza #Journalists #PressFreedom #MarcoRubio #Democrats #USPolitics #HumanRights #MediaFreedom #AlJazeera #AnasAlSharif #MiddleEast #IDF #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #FreePress #Washington #Accountability #StopTargetingJournalists #GlobalNews

Hamas’ Crushing Defeat of IDF; Soldiers Flee Gaza Battle | Netanyahu Calls In U.S. & French Troops

Israel’s military is grappling with a severe troop crisis, with up to 12,000 soldiers missing from the ranks amid exhaustion, trauma, and refusals to serve in Gaza. Commanders admitted to a 7,500-soldier shortfall, with plans to recruit Jews from abroad and even African asylum seekers. Haredi draft exemptions have collapsed, sparking religious backlash. Reports reveal rising suicides, hidden burials, and censorship to mask the toll. As Hamas vows “more funerals,” Netanyahu scrambles to plug the gaps, even turning to U.S. and French recruits. #Israel #IDF #GazaWar #TroopCrisis #Netanyahu #Hamas #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #WarFatigue #IsraeliArmy #SoldierSuicides #MilitaryCrisis #USFrance #JewishDiaspora #HarediDraft #IsraelPolitics #WarTrauma #MentalHealthCrisis #GlobalConflict #AbuObeida #IsraelShortage #IDFExposed #NetanyahuCrisis #IsraelNews 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.410~ED.420~GR.124~

‘Even If Hamas Disarms…’ Netanyahu’s SHOCKINGClaims On Gaza Takeover Despite Hamas’ Demilitarization

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. #Netanyahu #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #GazaWar #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Palestine #Trump #IDF #Ceasefire #UN #HumanRights #HostageDeal #WarNews #IsraelPalestine #Conflict #WorldNews #GazaCity #InternationalCrisis ~ED.102~HT.408~
