ā€˜Make Israel Great Again…’ MASSIVE Anti-Netanyahu Protests Erupt In Tel Aviv |Israelis Beg For Help

Thousands of Israelis flooded the streets of Tel Aviv, marching from Hostage Square to the US Embassy, demanding an immediate and comprehensive hostage deal with Hamas. Families of captives, backed by freed hostages, pleaded with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump to finalize an agreement to bring all remaining hostages home. Freed hostage Doron Steinbrecher passionately urged both leaders to "make Israel great again," referencing her 471 days of terror in Gaza tunnels. Protesters carried Israeli and American flags, and banners demanding Trump’s leadership. The powerful march came amid stalled ceasefire talks in Qatar, and rising frustration with Israel's government. Some demonstrators also condemned army draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews, adding fuel to the fire. With at least 50 hostages still in captivity and negotiations stalling, desperation and political anger are boiling over. The world watches as Israel pleads for a resolution to this human tragedy. #IsraelGaza #HostageCrisis #TrumpIsrael #TelAvivProtests #FreeTheHostages #IsraelNews #HamasHostages #GazaWar #NetanyahuDeal #USIsraelRelations #IsraelPalestine #MiddleEastConflict #TelAvivMarch #SaveTheHostages #HostageSquare #IsraelUnderFire #CeasefireNow #DonaldTrumpNews #Zionism #EndTheWar

Pro-Hamas Mob Holds Israeli Cruise Passengers Hostage in Greece? Protesters BLOCK Israelis | Video

Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety. #IsraelisStranded #GreekPortProtest #ProPalestinianProtest #ManoMaritime #SyrosProtest #CruiseShipChaos #IsraelGreeceTension #PalestinianSolidarity #CrownIrisIncident #AntiIsraelProtest #TouristsTrapped #GreekIslandBlockade #IsraelTravelBan #SyrosDemonstration #MaritimeStandoff ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~

Netanyahu To Resign? 74% of Israelis Back Hostage Deal |Families RAGE as Netanyahu Rejects Ceasefire

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal fails, pressure mounts on the Israeli government. Thousands rallied across Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding action to bring hostages home. The Hostage Forum warned that each day of war strengthens Hamas and endangers both hostages and soldiers. A new poll shows 74% of Israelis—including 60% of Netanyahu’s voters—support a deal. Eli Sharabi, who lost family on October 7, called on Trump to intervene. With around 50 hostages still in Gaza, public support for peace is reaching a breaking point. #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #CeasefireNow #BringThemHome #TelAvivProtests #HostageDeal #IsraelNews #GazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #October7 #Hamas #Netanyahu #IsraelPolitics #Trump #PeaceTalks #HumanitarianCrisis #Gaza #HostageFamilies #FreeTheHostages #EndTheWar #Rafah #CeasefireDeal #WarInGaza #IsraelCeasefire #IsraelProtests #EliSharabi Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.html?ref=DMDesc Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer' [Video]

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s ā€œMidnight Hammerā€ may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport With Hypersonic Missile | Israelis FLEE To Shelters [Video]

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport With Hypersonic Missile | Israelis FLEE To Shelters

In a significant escalation, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed a major missile strike against Israel's primary international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a newly unveiled missile, named "Palestine-2," was launched towards Tel Aviv, alleging it successfully halted all air traffic and caused widespread panic. The group, officially known as Ansarallah, declared the attack was an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and the armed resistance in Gaza, vowing that such strikes will persist until Israel's military offensive and blockade on the territory come to an end. However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have presented a conflicting account. According to Israeli military sources, the incoming missile was successfully tracked and intercepted by its advanced air defense systems. While air raid sirens were activated in several regions across Israel as a precautionary measure, the IDF maintains that the threat was neutralized before it could impact the airport's infrastructure or cause any casualties. The incident has drawn a sharp response from Tel Aviv. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Yemen, threatening "dire consequences" similar to those faced by Tehran if the Houthi attacks continue. This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones towards Israel since the conflict in Gaza intensified, repeatedly attempting to target critical Israeli infrastructure like Ben Gurion Airport. #YemenStrike #BenGurion #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiForces #MiddleEastCrisis #MissileStrike #GazaBlockade #Airstrike #BreakingNews #YemenVsIsrael #BenGurionAirport #DroneAttack #HypersonicMissile #AirportStrike #YemenNews #IsraelNews #DefenseAlert #AirRaid #GlobalTensions Also Read Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.346~

Trump Demands Hamas SURRENDER & Release Hostages for Ceasefire in Gaza as Witkoff meets Netanyahu

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: ā€œSurrender and release the hostagesā€ or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering. #TrumpVsHamas #GazaCrisis #HostageTalks #Netanyahu #WitkoffMission #MiddleEastTensions #GazaWar #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasUltimatum #GazaStarvation #TrumpStatement #IsraelHamasWar #AidUnderFire #QatarMediation #USIsraelRelations #BreakingNews #GazaBlockade #GazaFamine #WitkoffInJerusalem #PeaceStalemate #AnnexationThreat #TrumpMiddleEast #HamasResistance #GazaAidFail #USPolicyShift #HostagesInGaza #GazaNegotiations Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc Maybe, Pakistan Will Sell Oil To India Someday: Trump After Striking Deal With Islamabad :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/maybe-pakistan-will-sell-oil-to-india-someday-trump-after-striking-deal-with-islamabad-011-7816471.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~
