At least 798 people in Gaza have reportedly been killed while receiving aid in the past six weeks - while acute malnutrition is said to have reached an all-time.. Sky News
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released dramatic footage showing the moment a massive 500-meter Hamas tunnel was destroyed in a precision airstrike in Gaza. The video captures the tunnel’s complete obliteration, sending shockwaves through the underground structure as plumes of smoke and debris erupt on the surface. According to the IDF, the tunnel was a strategic passage used for smuggling weapons and launching attacks against Israeli forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared he is open to a permanent end to the Gaza war—but only if Hamas fully disarms and Gaza is completely demilitarized. Speaking after a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, Netanyahu laid out strict conditions, including the removal of Hamas as a governing body. Warning that peace will be pursued either through diplomacy or force, his statement has drawn sharp international reactions and raised questions about the viability of a long-term resolution.

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw troops from Gaza’s strategic Morag corridor. Hamas demands a full pullout, calling Israel’s military presence a deal-breaker. Critics warn Israel’s position could derail humanitarian deals and lead to mass displacement. U.S. and Qatari mediators are scrambling to salvage negotiations. With allegations of ethnic cleansing surfacing, Israel’s hardline stance is seen by some as a strategic move to maintain control over southern Gaza during any truce.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

A senior Iranian official confirmed that Israel attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a high-level military meeting amid Israel's June attacks on Iran. Presidential advisor Sayyed Mehdi Tabatabaei revealed that Israel targeted a gathering of political and military leaders with a large-scale explosion, calling it a direct operation aimed at decapitating Iran's leadership. Pezeshkian himself confirmed the assassination attempt in a recent interview, criticizing Israeli hostility and U.S. complicity. Iran has vowed to reject any future negotiations that seek to undermine its nuclear capabilities and missile program, which it considers non-negotiable national rights. Iranian leaders also accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of bias and warned that cooperation with the agency depends on fair treatment.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings.
Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance — and Eilat is no longer open.
