France has been a key supporter of Israel, defending its right to self-defence for years and sells an average of €20 million worth of military equipment to the country each year.
In a dramatic turn of events, French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement to recognise Palestine as a state at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly has triggered unrest in the French capital. As public sentiment intensifies, Paris witnessed targeted vandalism against the Israeli airline El Al’s office. While Macron's move has been praised by pro-Palestinian voices, it has also deepened political fault lines across Europe. This exclusive ground report brings you voices from France, reactions from legal experts and students, footage from protests across the continent, and the growing debate over Europe's shifting stance on Palestine.

Inside a peaceful Parisian park lies a powerful story of faith, exile, and identity. Every year, Tibetans gather at the Pagoda of Vincennes for the Sakya Monlam prayer—thousands of kilometers from their homeland. As tensions rise with China over the Dalai Lama’s successor, refugees like Tenzing and Lobsang share their fears, hopes, and ties to India—whom they call their “second homeland.” This is more than a spiritual gathering—it's a silent resistance for a forgotten people.

Tel Aviv witnessed powerful scenes as families of Israeli hostages and victims of the October 7 attack addressed a press conference, calling for urgent action to secure a Gaza truce deal and the safe return of captives. Their emotional plea came after nationwide protests demanding accountability and a stronger government response. Lishay Miran-Lavi, wife of hostage Omri Miran, declared, “This day is just the beginning. We draw strength from the public's support and intend to escalate and intensify the struggle from here until all the hostages are home.” Demonstrations across Israel highlighted growing frustration with leadership, as calls for early elections and nationwide strikes gather momentum. Families vowed to continue mobilizing public pressure until every hostage is released, intensifying one of Israel’s most volatile domestic movements in years.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking deep inside Yemen, targeting a Houthi-controlled energy infrastructure site in the capital Sanaa. The long-range strike, conducted from nearly 2,000 kilometers away, was described as a direct response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, including missile and UAV launches aimed at Israeli territory. The IDF accused the Houthis of operating as an Iranian proxy, exploiting shipping lanes and global trade routes to conduct hostile operations. Military officials stressed that Israel will continue to act decisively against threats “wherever required,” signaling further escalation if attacks persist. This marks one of the deepest IDF strikes in recent years, highlighting Israel’s expanding reach against Iranian-backed groups beyond its immediate borders. The strike underscores growing regional tensions as Israel seeks to deter attacks from Yemen while maintaining pressure on Tehran and its allies.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanon’s streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the government’s US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration — dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists — sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.
