Grant Shapps says comments by Benjamin Netanyahu stating there can be no two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians are "disappointing" but not surprising.
The defence secretary reiterates the UK position saying: "We believe that Palestinians deserve a state with proper sovereignty".

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. The Pope expressed deep sorrow, called for an immediate ceasefire, and urged protection of worship sites. He also warned of Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis. While Netanyahu’s office called the exchange “friendly,” the Vatican stressed moral responsibility. The Latin Patriarchate and global Christian groups have condemned the strike, demanding Israel halt attacks on sacred sites and civilians.

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.

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. Will the far-right tighten their grip? Is this the beginning of the end for Bibi’s government?

Donald Trump has rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for an airstrike on a Catholic church in Gaza, calling the incident a “mistake.” His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump called Netanyahu to express his displeasure. Trump also reportedly called Syrian leader Al-Sharaa, urging both sides to agree to a ceasefire. Emphasizing the need for regional stability, Trump said he envisions a “peaceful and progressive Syria.” His remarks signal a rare critique of Israel and a renewed push for diplomacy in the Middle East.

Russia and Iran have strongly condemned Israel’s latest airstrikes on Syrian territory, calling them illegal and destabilizing. Moscow blasted the strikes as a “gross violation” of Syria’s sovereignty, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi labeled Israel a “rabid regime” engaging in “unhinged aggression.” Israel confirmed it struck near the Syrian army HQ in Damascus, citing actions against Druze civilians. As regional tensions escalate, both Russia and Iran demand an end to foreign interventions and urge unity within Syria.

Hamas has called on Palestinians in the West Bank to rise up following deadly Israeli settler attacks, including the killing of Palestinian-American Saif Al-Din Muslat. The group blames Israel’s far-right government for escalating settler violence and is urging mass mobilization across all governorates. With over 998 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since the Gaza war began, tensions are boiling. Hamas warns that “his blood will not be in vain,” hinting at a wider armed uprising. Israel now fears Hamas-style militant networks emerging in the West Bank.

Fierce escalation on the Gaza front. Al-Quds Brigade fighters have reportedly used 'Thaqib' bombs—a new, high-impact explosive device—in a deadly ambush targeting an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tank unit. The explosion resulted in the deaths of 3 IDF soldiers, with footage showing a direct hit on an armored vehicle. This marks one of the most lethal strikes by Palestinian factions in recent weeks and could signal a shift in battlefield tactics. The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have claimed responsibility, vowing further retaliation. Meanwhile, Israeli forces are expected to respond with intensified airstrikes.

Shocking footage reveals Palestinians dodging bullets near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid centers — sites accused of turning into deadly traps amid escalating violence. Since May 2025, nearly 800 civilians have died around these US-Israeli backed aid distribution points, many caught in crossfire near Israeli Defense Forces positions. The UN warns that this aid model violates international norms and puts starving Palestinians at extreme risk. Eyewitnesses report soldiers firing without warning, turning humanitarian aid into a weapon. Critics call for urgent reform as Gaza’s blockade and failed aid system push millions to the brink of starvation. Is aid saving lives, or fueling a humanitarian crisis? Watch and decide.

Leaked CCTV footage from Rafah reveals Israeli soldiers allegedly filming themselves as they destroy an entire residential block in southern Gaza. Once home to nearly 200,000 Palestinians, the area has now been turned to rubble, as families are either killed, displaced, or starving under siege.
This disturbing visual raises urgent questions: Is this documentation or display? Defense or destruction?
As Gaza reels from bombings, starvation, and mass displacement, critics — including Israeli opposition leaders — warn that what’s unfolding could amount to war crimes.

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida has issued a chilling warning to Israel, vowing intensified guerrilla warfare in Gaza. The Al-Qassam Brigades claim near-successful attempts to capture IDF soldiers and report hundreds of Israeli casualties. Hamas threatens to halt partial deals if indirect talks fail and reiterates its hostage exchange offer for a full ceasefire. Accusing Israel of war crimes and psychological warfare, the group condemned Arab leaders for silence and praised Yemen’s Ansarallah for striking Israeli-linked targets in solidarity with Gaza.

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syria’s Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian army’s withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actors—including Israel—shaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has firmly denied claims that Jeffrey Epstein was linked to Mossad, calling them “categorically false” and a “vicious lie.” The response came after Tucker Carlson implied Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence, questioning his wealth and connections. Bennett slammed Carlson for spreading conspiracy theories and said Mossad never ran a blackmail operation. Carlson has since doubled down, demanding an interview and accusing Bennett of threats, while MAGA circles push for Epstein’s “client list” to be revealed.
