EU Sanctions on Table for Two Israeli Ministers after Extreme Calls for Permanent Gaza Occupation
Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has made explosive statements calling for the permanent occupation of the Gaza Strip and halting all humanitarian aid until Hamas surrenders.
His comments have sparked outrage, with the European Union considering sanctions against him and fellow far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich for their controversial remarks.
Discover the full story behind these provocative calls and the international reaction.
Watch now to understand the implications of Ben-Gvirâs extreme position and the EU's response.
Deep divisions have emerged in Israelâs war cabinet as Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief Eyal Zamir clash over Gaza strategy. Netanyahu is pushing a mass evacuation and full siege of northern Gaza, while Zamir warns it could spark chaos and civilian backlash. Far-right ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich accuse Zamir of blocking a Gaza victory and demand intensified operations. As Trump prepares to announce a potential ceasefire, internal tensions rise, putting Israelâs military and political leadership at odds.

Leftist leader Yair Golan faced a storm of protests during his speech at the Sderot Conference in Beersheba, with right-wing hecklers calling him a âtraitorâ over his controversial Gaza remarks. Golan lashed out, accusing protesters of cowardice and blamed incitement like this for Rabinâs assassination. Following his comments about Israeli soldiers "killing babies," later clarified as a critique of government policy, Golan was banned from reserve duty. Ministers Ben Gvir and Katz escalated attacks, while Lapid and Gantz defended him.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has launched a daring new mission to Gaza with its latest vessel, Handala, departing from Siracusa, Italy. This voyage comes just weeks after the Israeli Navy seized the Madleen, a British-flagged aid ship, and detained its 12 unarmed crew members in international waters.
Now, with international solidarity behind them, activists are risking it all again to break the deadly and illegal blockade of Gaza. Their message? Aid is not a crime. Silence is complicity. Onboard the Handala are international human rights defenders â including members of Franceâs left-wing LFI party â ready to face armed interception in hopes of reaching Gaza's besieged population.
As Israel tightens its grip, the sea becomes the last lifeline. This isnât just a mission â itâs a message.

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 â including Israeli opposition leaders â warn that whatâs unfolding could amount to war crimes.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, branding him a "puppet of Netanyahu" and accusing Israel of dictating U.S. policy on Iran. In a fiery post on X, Araghchi questioned what Mossad might have on the White House and ridiculed Netanyahu for seeking Trumpâs help after his failures in Gaza. He also warned Israel against attacking Iranâs nuclear program, vowed retaliation, and hailed Iranâs missile prowess amid growing regional tensions and intensified U.S.-Israel pressure.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that Brussels will delay retaliation against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs as talks with Washington continue. President Trump disrupted months of negotiation, warning the EU of sweeping 30% tariffs unless a deal is reached by August 1. Von der Leyen confirmed preparations for countermeasures are ongoing, but emphasized the EU still prefers a negotiated solution. With $24 billion in U.S. goods at stake, the next few weeks are critical as the tariff standoff risks escalating into a full-blown trade clash.

Israel estimates $3 billion in economic damage from its 12-day war with Iran, calling it the most extensive destruction in its history. The figure excludes military costs, which could push the total to $12 billion, according to Finance Minister Smotrich. The war disrupted daily life, destroyed key infrastructure, and shuttered businesses. While the Bank of Israel still forecasts 3.5% growth this year, experts warn the conflict's aftermath could slow recovery. A ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Trump ended the fighting after nearly two weeks of missile attacks.

GAZA BREAKING: A deadly Israeli missile strike on a Gaza refugee camp killed 10 children who were gathering water, sparking international outrage. The IDF admitted the missile missed its target due to a technical error. Israel claimed it was targeting a militant but instead struck a civilian area. Witnesses reported over 30 civilians were present, including many children. In a separate strike, nine more people died, including three children. As global condemnation grows, Israel says it regrets civilian harm and has launched an internal review.

Gaza witnessed its bloodiest day in two months as over 150 Palestinians were killed in 24 hours amid relentless Israeli airstrikes. Beit Hanoun, Khan Younis, and central Gaza were bombarded under the "Belt of Fire" campaign. Strikes on aid queues, refugee camps, and family homes have left dozens dead, including entire families. With the death toll nearing 58,000, mostly women and children, critics say Israelâs âChariots of Gideonâ operation amounts to systematic massacres under the guise of targeting resistance.

Yemenâs Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israelâs Eilat port is now âimpossible,â reaffirming Yemenâs 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.
Yemenâs naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israelâs bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemenâs 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 â and Eilat is no longer open.

The BBC has said it breached its editorial guidelines by failing to disclose that the child narrator of a Gaza documentary was the son of a Hamas official. Sky News
In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Sharaâs past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.
