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 ātraitorā over his controversial Gaza remarks. Golan lashed out, accusing protesters of cowardice and blamed incitement like this for Rabinās assassination. Following his comments about Israeli soldiers "killing babies," later clarified as a critique of government policy, Golan was banned from reserve duty.

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

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.

Fierce escalation on the Gaza front. Al-Quds Brigade fighters have reportedly used 'Thaqib' bombsāa new, high-impact explosive deviceāin 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 ā 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 Gazaās blockade and failed aid system push millions to the brink of starvation. Is aid saving lives, or fueling a humanitarian crisis? Watch and decide.

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 ā including members of Franceās left-wing LFI party ā 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 isnāt just a mission ā itās 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 ā including Israeli opposition leaders ā warn that whatās unfolding could amount to war crimes.

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-Sharaās 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.

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.
