The prime minister says he will make the UK a “battle-ready nation”, whilst Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to “create a British Army that is 10 times more lethal”, as the Strategic Defence Review is published. The government aims to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2034, although the Treasury has not yet guaranteed to fund it, and some of the UK’s Nato allies say it is not enough. Report by Jonesia.

The UK government is investing £6 billion over five years to strengthen its military industrial base, focusing on long-range weapons like Storm Shadow missiles amid rising tensions with Russia and China. Defense Secretary John Healey announced plans for six new munitions factories to reinforce Britain’s defense capabilities. This strategic move sends a strong message of readiness to Moscow, signaling the UK’s commitment to defend itself and support allies like Ukraine with advanced military aid and technology.

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 55,000 amid relentless Israeli airstrikes and ground offensives, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Over half of the casualties are women and children, with tens of thousands more wounded or missing. The war, ignited by Hamas’ Oct 7 attack on Israel, has devastated Gaza’s cities, displaced millions, and wrecked the health system. Israel claims to target militants, but civilian suffering is immense. Hostages remain held, aid is blocked, and Netanyahu insists the war will continue until Hamas is eradicated.

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened further strikes on Lebanon unless Hezbollah disarms, following recent airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The IDF claims it targeted an Iran-backed Hezbollah drone unit, though Hezbollah denies this. Lebanon’s President Aoun condemned the attack as a breach of international law, accusing Israel of endangering civilians to make a political statement. With tensions high and ceasefire lines crossed repeatedly, Lebanon's leaders demand international action to stop what they call systematic Israeli aggression.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. The strike, in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, disrupted air traffic and sent thousands into shelters. Yemeni Armed Forces vowed continued support for Gaza and Lebanon, stating attacks will persist until Israel ends its war on Gaza. While Israel claims the missile was intercepted, sirens rang across central Israel and occupied territories. This marks Yemen’s first official missile strike on Israeli infrastructure from afar.

Hezbollah’s Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump: unless he frees himself from Israel’s control, any hope for success in the Middle East is doomed. Resistance is not just a choice — it’s the only path to dignity, freedom, and national survival. With decades of struggle behind them, Hezbollah and its allies vow no surrender, only victory or martyrdom. Watch as they lay bare the truth about U.S. involvement, Israeli occupation, and the unbreakable spirit of Lebanon’s resistance. This is a message Washington and Tel Aviv cannot ignore.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.
