Hamas Rips into ‘MAD’ Netanyahu over ‘DELIRIOUS’ plans of ‘Greater Israel’ | Vows REVENGE for Gaza

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel. #Hamas #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #Palestine #Israel #Gaza #WestBank #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #Iran #ArabWorld #Resistance #OccupiedTerritories #Annexation #RegionalTensions #PalestinianRights #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEastNews #Jerusalem #GazaWar #PalestinianResistance #SettlerViolence #InternationalRelations #IranIsrael #RegionalStability Also Read Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825985.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825981.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves [Video]

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~

Israel opens another WAR FRONT? Troops advance into Syria’s Strategic Southwestern province Quneitra

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 that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border. #Israel #Syria #Quneitra #GolanHeights #MiddleEast #IDF #BreakingNews #CeasefireViolation #1974Ceasefire #UNCondemnation #SyrianWar #Damascus #InternationalLaw #IsraelNews #SyriaNews #BorderTensions #MilitaryIncursion #IDFForces #RegionalTensions #WarFront #IsraelSyria #GolanConflict #MilitaryNews #Flashpoint #Geopolitics #UNWarning #MiddleEastCrisis #OccupiedTerritory #ConflictZone #SecurityBreach #GroundIncursion Also Read Netanyahu Lists 5 Principles To End Gaza War, Slams ‘Global Campaign Of Lies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-gaza-liberation-hamas-prime-minister-netanyahu-011-7825831.html?ref=DMDesc Not Going To Occupy Gaza, Will Free It From Hamas: Israel PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/not-going-to-occupy-gaza-will-free-it-from-hamas-israel-pm-netanyahu-011-7824689.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Security Cabinet Approves Netanyahu's Plan To Take Over 'All of Gaza' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-security-cabinet-approves-netanyahus-plan-to-take-over-all-of-gaza-011-7823673.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.124~

Erdogan Backs Al-Sharaa’s Fight against Netanyahu | Syrian Civil War escalates | Turkey vs Israel

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict. #TurkeyInSyria #SyrianCivilWar #Erdogan #AlSharaa #IsraelVsTurkey #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #SyriaWarUpdate #TurkeyMilitarySupport #DruzeBedouinClashes #SyriaIsraelTensions #SweidaCrisis #DamascusAirstrikes #RegionalEscalation #BreakingNews #MiddleEastNews #SyriaCrisis #ErdoganVsNetanyahu #Geopolitics #UNAlert #TurkeySyriaAlliance #AnkaraStatement #IDFStrikes #ErdoganResponse #SyriaUnderFire #WarInSyria #TurkeyIsraelFaceOff Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Collapses In Sweida; Israel Responds With Strike On Syrian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-collapses-in-sweida-israel-responds-with-strike-on-syrian-army-7803123.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Israel-Syria BREAKING: U.S Announces Israel-Syria Ceasefire | 300 Killed in Sweida Violence [Video]

Israel-Syria BREAKING: U.S Announces Israel-Syria Ceasefire | 300 Killed in Sweida Violence

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv? #IsraelSyriaCeasefire #DruzeClashes #TelAvivStrike #DamascusBombing #SyriaUnrest #IDFStrikes #MiddleEastTensions #Netanyahu #GolanHeights #SweidaClashes #DruzeCommunity #AssadFallout #IsraelAirstrike #BRK #BedouinFighting #AhmadAlSharaa #GeopoliticalCrisis #USMiddleEastPolicy #AlJazeeraReports #SyriaNews ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~
