Israeli soldiers 'psychologically broken' after 'confronting the reality' in Gaza, UN expert says
Monday, 7 July 2025 () A UN expert has said some young soldiers in the Israeli Defence Forces are being left "psychologically broken" after "confront[ing] the reality among the rubble" when serving in Gaza.
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.

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.

In a dramatic overnight operation, Israeli warplanes struck six high-value Houthi targets across Yemen, including three strategic Red Sea ports, the Ras Kathib power plant, and the radar system aboard the seized Galaxy Leader cargo ship. The IDF claims the ship’s radar was used for maritime surveillance and missile coordination.
The strikes — completed in under an hour — mark one of Israel’s most significant escalations in the Red Sea conflict zone. Massive explosions were reported in Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and As-Salif as Israeli forces targeted what they say were key military supply routes and Iranian-linked infrastructure.
This comes amid rising tensions across the region and renewed Houthi missile launches toward Israeli territory. What does this mean for the wider Middle East conflict? Is a broader war looming in the Red Sea?

In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision night raid targeting the Houthi-controlled Galaxy Leader cargo ship — a vessel seized in 2023 and used as a propaganda symbol by Yemen’s Houthi forces. The IDF says the ship was repurposed for surveillance and terror coordination in the Red Sea, following the year-long captivity of 25 international crew members.
This strike was part of Israel’s broader retaliation campaign under "Operation Black Flag" against Houthi infrastructure. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any tool used to threaten Israeli citizens would be eliminated — and this ship was no exception.
Footage shows the Galaxy Leader engulfed in flames as Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of munitions across western Yemen, including ports and power stations. The Red Sea is now a live combat zone, and the message from Israel is clear: No more warnings.
