Slovenia has made history as the first EU country to impose a full ban on arms imports, exports, and transit to Israel amid the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Prime Minister Robert Golob boldly declared that responsible nations must actâeven if it means stepping ahead of others to uphold international law. This move exposes the European Unionâs failure to take concrete measures against Israelâs blockade and ongoing war crimes, which have killed over 60,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. As Slovenia plans further sanctions, will other EU countries follow and challenge Israelâs brutal military campaign? Dive into this explosive shift in European policy and the mounting pressure on Israelâs government.

Tensions flare once again in the Israel-Gaza conflict as Hamas launches two rockets into Israeli territory. According to the IDF, the projectiles struck open ground near the border fence, causing no casualties. However, this marks a significant escalation amid ongoing regional volatility. The rocket launches come just hours after Iran-Israel hostilities shook the region. Security forces remain on high alert, and retaliatory measures are being considered. The question now loomsâwill this trigger a broader Gaza front in the spiraling regional war?

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state â calling it a âpure prize for terrorâ and a âgift to Hamas.â Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as âimmoralâ and âpolitically foolish,â warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza â but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As Septemberâs U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Tensions in Gaza reached a breaking point after an Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the Al-Maqousi Towers in northwest Gaza, leaving multiple civilians dead and many others severely injured. As sirens echoed through the area, chaos and devastation unfolded yet again. The strike comes amid rising pressure on Israeli leadership from within its own ranks.
Over 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former heads of intelligence, have written a joint letter to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to intervene and pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. The officials claim Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat and that continued warfare is only prolonging suffering. Despite indirect ceasefire talks stalling, Netanyahu is reportedly pushing to intensify military operations. The internal dissent reflects a growing concern that Netanyahuâs decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the âBirds of Goodnessâ mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says devastating images from Gaza highlight the urgent need for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and a long-term plan for peace in the Middle East.

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 â just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports â and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trumpâs unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is âpretty good at avoiding them.â A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza.
The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza.
This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gazaâs borders.
Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation.
Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring.

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down armsâan assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal.
As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed.
