Hamas LOOTING Gaza Aid?  IDF Releases EXPLOSIVE Video Claiming Hamas Is Starving Gaza On Purpose [Video]

Hamas LOOTING Gaza Aid? IDF Releases EXPLOSIVE Video Claiming Hamas Is Starving Gaza On Purpose

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage allegedly showing Hamas fighters taking control of aid containers in Gaza. The IDF accuses Hamas of looting humanitarian supplies meant for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation, claiming its personnel ensure secure aid distribution. The video follows a New York Times report where Israeli officials admitted no proof exists of systematic aid theft. With global pressure mounting—from the U.S. to Europe—the war of narratives over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to intensify. #Hamas #IDF #GazaAid #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEast #IsraelPalestine #Gaza #WarFootage #AidDistribution #AbuObeida #EzzedineAlQassam #GazaWar #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #IsraelNews #PalestineNews #NYTReport #TrumpComments #UNAid #USAID #MiddleEastPolitics #GazaStrip #WarOnTerror #MediaWar #HamasDenial #IDFClaims #GazaRelief #InternationalAid #GlobalReaction #WarNarrative #PeaceCrisis Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.125~ED.420~

Trump to meet Modi as India-U.S. Tariff War comes to a head? PM Modi to visit U.S. in September

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the U.S. next month for the UNGA summit, with a possible meeting with Donald Trump to address strained trade relations. Ties have soured after Trump imposed a combined 50% tariff on Indian goods over market access disputes and Russian oil imports. India has rejected U.S. criticism, accusing Washington of double standards. If talks progress, Modi may invite Trump to India for the October Quad summit. Global tensions, including the Ukraine war, will also shape discussions. #Modi #Trump #IndiaUSRelations #TradeWar #Tariffs #UNGA #ModiTrump #QuadSummit #GlobalTrade #USIndiaTies #RussianOil #Geopolitics #TradeTalks #USPolitics #IndiaPolitics #BilateralTies #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TariffTensions #DoubleStandards #UkraineWar #ModiInUS #TariffWar #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #USIndiaTrade #EconomicDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #TariffTrouble #ModiVsTrump Also Read Amid Tariff Row, PM Modi Likely To Visit US Next Month For UNGA Session :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-tariff-row-pm-modi-likely-to-visit-us-next-month-for-unga-session-7828289.html?ref=DMDesc President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?

Trump giving in to Putin's Demands Even Before Alaska Summit Begins? U.S Lifts Sanctions

The United States has temporarily lifted certain sanctions on Russian transactions to facilitate historic peace talks in Alaska between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15. The move, authorized by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, allows specific transactions otherwise banned under Russia-related sanctions—strictly for organizing the summit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may join follow-up discussions, with Trump expected to push Putin toward a Ukraine ceasefire. Reports suggest Trump will offer an economic package including access to Alaska’s natural resources, easing aviation sanctions, and rare earth mineral rights in occupied Ukrainian territories. The temporary authorization expires Aug. 20, with the White House calling the meeting a “listening exercise” and a potential breakthrough. #Trump #Putin #AlaskaSummit #Russia #Ukraine #Ceasefire #PeaceTalks #Sanctions #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Moscow #Anchorage #WorldNews #InternationalRelations #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Zelensky #WarInUkraine ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.122~

Subway Sandwich Attack: DC Man Charged Attacks Federal Agent Amid Trump Crime Crackdown [Video]

Subway Sandwich Attack: DC Man Charged Attacks Federal Agent Amid Trump Crime Crackdown

In a bizarre twist to Washington, D.C.’s ongoing crime crackdown, a man is facing felony assault charges for allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. Authorities say Sean Charles Dunn confronted the agent in the U Street area, hurling obscenities before “forcefully” tossing the sandwich into the officer’s chest. The incident unfolded amid President Donald Trump’s recent federalization of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, deploying National Guard troops and multiple federal agencies to patrol the city. After a brief chase, Dunn allegedly confessed to the assault. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro slammed the act, warning, “Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.” The strange but serious case underscores the tense climate in the capital following Trump’s law-and-order push. #DCCrime #Trump #JeaninePirro #USCapitol #FelonyAssault #SandwichAttack #CBP #NationalGuard #BreakingNews #CrimeUpdate #DCCrackdown #LawEnforcement #BizarreCrime #FBI #DEA #USCapitolPolice #ATF #WashingtonDC #OfficerSafety #TrumpCrimePlan ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
