‘Make Israel Great Again…’ MASSIVE Anti-Netanyahu Protests Erupt In Tel Aviv |Israelis Beg For Help

Thousands of Israelis flooded the streets of Tel Aviv, marching from Hostage Square to the US Embassy, demanding an immediate and comprehensive hostage deal with Hamas. Families of captives, backed by freed hostages, pleaded with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump to finalize an agreement to bring all remaining hostages home. Freed hostage Doron Steinbrecher passionately urged both leaders to "make Israel great again," referencing her 471 days of terror in Gaza tunnels. Protesters carried Israeli and American flags, and banners demanding Trump’s leadership. The powerful march came amid stalled ceasefire talks in Qatar, and rising frustration with Israel's government. Some demonstrators also condemned army draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews, adding fuel to the fire. With at least 50 hostages still in captivity and negotiations stalling, desperation and political anger are boiling over. The world watches as Israel pleads for a resolution to this human tragedy. #IsraelGaza #HostageCrisis #TrumpIsrael #TelAvivProtests #FreeTheHostages #IsraelNews #HamasHostages #GazaWar #NetanyahuDeal #USIsraelRelations #IsraelPalestine #MiddleEastConflict #TelAvivMarch #SaveTheHostages #HostageSquare #IsraelUnderFire #CeasefireNow #DonaldTrumpNews #Zionism #EndTheWar

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~

Pope Leo Raps Netanyahu after Israeli strike on Gaza Church killed 3, Calls for Immediate Ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a call with Pope Leo XIV following the deadly IDF strike on Gaza’s Holy Family Church, which killed three civilians.

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu [Video]

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest. The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict. #TrumpNetanyahuCall #GazaChurchStrike #HolyFamilyChurch #IsraelMistake #UScallsForJustice #CollateralDamage #GazaConflict #CatholicChurchGaza #TrumpRebukesIsrael #NetanyahuRegrets #InternationalCondemnation #VaticanResponse #ProtectCivilians #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastDiplomacy #WarEthics #ReligiousSiteSafety #GazaWar #TrumpDiplomacy #GlobalOutrage ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

In a stunning political shake-up, the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties have walked out of Israel’s ruling coalition over a controversial draft law. With his parliamentary majority gone, Netanyahu is now leading a fragile minority government—just as critical U.S.-backed ceasefire talks with Hamas reach a boiling point.

Israel’s CHILLING Warning After Iran REFUSES to Drop Nukes | Trump Threatens to Strike AGAIN

Hours after Iranian FM Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s refusal to abandon nuclear enrichment, the IDF issued a sharp warning, vowing the campaign against Iran “isn’t over.” Israel signaled continued military readiness, citing multi-front operations against Hezbollah and Iranian targets. Araghchi called the nuclear program a national achievement, while acknowledging U.S. B-2 bomber strikes caused severe damage. Trump shared the remarks as proof of success, threatening further attacks.

‘We’re Losing The War’ Ex-Shin Bet Chief  ADMITS Defeat In Gaza | ‘Only Two-State Plan Can Stop…’ [Video]

‘We’re Losing The War’ Ex-Shin Bet Chief ADMITS Defeat In Gaza | ‘Only Two-State Plan Can Stop…’

In a dramatic admission, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has warned that despite military gains in Gaza, Israel is ultimately losing the war. In a public statement, Ayalon said, "No matter how many battles we win, we will lose if there's no political solution." He stressed that without a vision for peace, particularly a two-state solution, Israel risks destroying its own identity as both a Jewish and democratic state. Calling a Palestinian state "Hamas’s worst nightmare," Ayalon urged Israeli leadership to look beyond short-term military victories and invest in long-term political outcomes. His comments come amid growing criticism from Israeli officials and security experts about the government’s handling of the conflict. Ayalon’s voice adds weight to the urgent global calls for a ceasefire and meaningful diplomacy. His stark words have sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles and reignited the debate over the only viable path to peace. #IsraelGazaWar #AmiAyalon #ShinBet #TwoStateSolution #GazaCrisis #IsraelAtWar #MiddleEastConflict #JewishDemocracy #Hamas #IsraeliPolitics #PeaceNow #GazaWarUpdate #SpyChiefSpeaks #MilitaryVsPolitical #CeasefireNow #IsraelLosingWar #IsraeliMilitary #PalestinianState #ZionistDilemma #WarWithoutEnd ~HT.410~ED.194~

Israel STORMS Home, ARRESTS Al Mayadeen’s Nasser Al-Laham | DESTROYS Studio Set-up In Raid | VIDEO

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TV’s Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air. The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common. #NasserAlLaham #AlMayadeen #IsraelRaid #WestBank #ShinBet #PalestinianJournalist #MediaSuppression #PressFreedom #JournalistArrest #OccupiedPalestine #IsraelPalestine #MediaCrackdown #HumanRightsViolation #MiddleEastNews #GazaNews #IsraelOccupation #ResistanceMedia #FreePress #OferCourt #BreakingNews ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Iran's Spy Network Inside Israel EXPOSED:Married Couple, Teen Recruit & Failed Assassination of Katz

A shocking espionage scandal has rocked Israel as a married couple from Ra’anana in their 30s have been arrested for allegedly spying for Iran. Their arrest came after a covert investigation by Shin Bet and Israeli police, who confiscated phones, computers, and electronic devices reportedly containing communications with an Iranian handler. But the story doesn’t stop there — three more Israeli citizens, including an 18-year-old from Tiberias, were arrested in separate operations for allegedly collaborating with Iranian operatives. This follows a series of Iranian recruitment attempts and even a failed assassination plot targeting Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz. #Espionage #IranIsraelTensions #IsraelNews #IranSpyNetwork #IsraelDefense #ShinBet #NationalSecurity #Mossad #Geopolitics #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #IsraelKatz #SpyArrest #OneIndiaNews ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~
