At the same time, other western countries have also increased sanctions on Israeli settlers in occupied Palestinian territories.

.

According to Ireland, Spain and Norway, they recognize a Palestinian state based on borders established prior to the war in 1967.

Before the war, Jerusalem was the capital of both Israel and Palestine.

This is an important moment and I think it sends a signal to the world that there are practical actions you can take as a country to help keep the hope and destination of a two-state solution alive at a time when others are trying to sadly bomb it into oblivion, Simon Harris, Prime Minister of Ireland, via BBC.

According to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, recognizing Palestine is , “an essential requirement if we are all to achieve peace.”.

Israel BLASTS UK, France, Canada for ‘Rewarding Terror’— Palestinian State Move Is a Gift to Hamas? [Video]

Israel BLASTS UK, France, Canada for ‘Rewarding Terror’— Palestinian State Move Is a Gift to Hamas?

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” 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 — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point. #Israel #GideonSaar #PalestineRecognition #UKFranceCanada #Hamas #MiddleEastCrisis #GiftToHamas #IsraelVsWest #JerusalemPressConference #UNGeneralAssembly #TwoStateSolution #WestBank #GazaWar #PoliticalTensions #OneindiaNews Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Far-Right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Visit to Jerusalem Site Stirs Controversy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/far-right-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-controversial-visit-jerusalem-011-3831673.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's First Reaction On Ireland And Norway Over Recognition Of Palestinian State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-first-reaction-on-ireland-and-norway-over-recognition-of-palestinian-state-3831297.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~

Gaza Aid Attacks: Gaza Aid Attacks Expose Humanitarian Collapse in Conflict Zone

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones. #GazaAidAttacks #GazaUnderFire #HumanitarianCrisis #BloodstainedFlour #VoicesFromGaza

Trump CORNERED On Palestine? US Democrats Pen Letter To Trump To Recognise Palestine State | US News

As global momentum builds for Palestinian statehood, pressure is mounting on Donald Trump. Over a dozen U.S. House Democrats, led by Rep. Ro Khanna, have penned a letter urging the Trump administration to formally recognize a Palestinian state. Citing the ongoing war in Gaza and recent moves by France and the U.K., lawmakers warn that the U.S. risks diplomatic isolation if it doesn’t act. The letter references the 22-state Arab League plan and stresses the need for mutual security guarantees for both Israel and Palestine. Some Democrats, including Rep. Al Green and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, is also pushing for further congressional action. #TrumpOnPalestine #PalestinianStatehood #StateOfPalestine #TrumpMiddleEastPolicy #PalestineRecognition #TrumpNews #DonaldTrumpLatest #USIsraelPalestine #TrumpCornered #EthnicCleansingPalestine #PalestineStatehoodNow #FrancePalestineSupport #UKPalestinePlan #CanadaForPalestine #TrumpNetanyahuDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #PalestineUnderOccupation #USPoliticsNews ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.102~

VIDEO: Civilians Killed As Israeli Strike Hits Gaza | Ex-Israeli Officials ‘Begs’ Trump To Stop War

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 Netanyahu’s decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability. #GazaAirstrike #IsraelGazaWar #AlMaqousiTowers #NetanyahuWar #TrumpGazaLetter #StopTheWar #GazaUnderAttack #GazaBombing #IsraeliAirstrike #PalestineNews #HamasWar #MiddleEastTensions #CeasefireNow #EndGazaWar #TrumpNetanyahu #GazaSuffering #IDFBombing #GazaDeaths #CiviliansKilled #HumanitarianCrisis ~PR.274~GR.122~HT.318~

‘Disarmament Is Not
’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES

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 arms—an 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. #gaza #hamas #israel #trump #witkoff #hostagecrisis #ceasefire #gazawar #palestine #netanyahu #usenvoy #twostatesolution #humanitariancatastrophe #gazafamine #idf #reconstruction #telavivprotests #gazaceasefire #hamasdisarmament #middleeastpeace ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

‘Israel First’? Steve Bannon Slams Trump as MAGA Camp Erupts Over His ‘Bibi First’ Gaza War Policy [Video]

‘Israel First’? Steve Bannon Slams Trump as MAGA Camp Erupts Over His ‘Bibi First’ Gaza War Policy

A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannon’s fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause — denying federal disaster aid to U.S. states that boycott Israel. That clause has since been removed, according to documents shared by conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. However, states will still be required to dismantle certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs — particularly those perceived as anti-white — to access $1.9 billion in federal emergency funding. Bannon blasted Trump, branding him "Israel First" and accusing him of betraying America First values. The explosive memo and its quiet revisions have ignited debates within Trump’s own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction. #TrumpMemo #SteveBannon #IsraelFunding #DisasterAidControversy #DEIban #AntiBDS #CharlieKirk #IsraelFirst #BannonVsTrump #MemoLeak #Trump2024 #DEIcontroversy #AmericaFirst #GOPDivide #TrumpBacklash #FundingScandal #EmergencyAidPolitics #BDSban #TrumpPolicyChange #USIsraelRelations ~HT.318~
