Gaza ā€˜Genocide’ DOMINATES Arab League Summit 2025 As Israel Faces Global Outrage Over Deadly Siege

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions ā€œgenocide,ā€ pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents. #gaza #gazawar #arableague #baghdadsummit #palestine #israel #ceasefirenow #gazasiege #humanitarianaid #trumpmiddleeast #gaza2025 #arabunity #mohammedshiaalSudani #unrwa #antonioGuterres #pedrosanchez #iccinquiry #gazareconstruction #stopthegenocide #middleeastnews

Al-Quds Fighters Unleash 'Thaqib' Bombs; 3 IDF Troops Ambushed and Killed in Deadly Tank Explosion [Video]

Al-Quds Fighters Unleash 'Thaqib' Bombs; 3 IDF Troops Ambushed and Killed in Deadly Tank Explosion

Fierce escalation on the Gaza front. Al-Quds Brigade fighters have reportedly used 'Thaqib' bombs—a new, high-impact explosive device—in 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. #IDFSoldiersKilled #HamasVsIDF #GazaWar #IsraeliSoldiersKilled #HamasAttack #IDFCasualties #HamasCapturesSoldiers #IDFVsHamas #HamasHostages #GazaConflict #HamasMissileAttack #IsraelGazaWar #IDFSoldierKilled #HamasAbduction #IsraelUnderAttack ~PR.152~GR.122~HT.96~ED.346~

Watch Gunfire at Aid Centers: IDF Accused of Shooting Starving Palestinians Near GHF Sites in Gaza

Shocking footage reveals Palestinians dodging bullets near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid centers — 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 Gaza’s blockade and failed aid system push millions to the brink of starvation. Is aid saving lives, or fueling a humanitarian crisis?

'Handala' Sail to Gaza: Activists Defy IDF Blockade Again After Madleen Seizure | Flotilla Returns [Video]

'Handala' Sail to Gaza: Activists Defy IDF Blockade Again After Madleen Seizure | Flotilla Returns

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 — including members of France’s left-wing LFI party — 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 isn’t just a mission — it’s a message. #FreedomFlotilla #GazaSiege #Handala #BreakTheBlockade #GazaUnderAttack #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Madleen #InternationalWaters #Activism #SolidarityWithGaza #Flotilla2025 #FreeGaza #StopTheBlockade #HumanitarianCrisis ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and ā€œconstructiveā€ phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism.

Can Pope Leo Xiv Lose US Citizenship After Becoming Vatican’s American-Born Head Of State?US-Vatican

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for ā€œactive reviewā€ of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status. #PopeLeoXIV #VaticanCity #USCitizenship #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #HolySee #CatholicChurch #PapalElection #DualCitizenship #VaticanNews #USLaw #CitizenshipReview #PopeAndPolitics #ChurchAndState #PeterSpiro #PapalHistory #PeruCitizenship #ConstitutionalLaw #USStateDepartment #InternationalLaw ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained [Video]

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained

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-Shara’s 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. #IsraelSyriaTalks #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Israel #Syria #DonaldTrump #Iran #OneindiaNews #AhmedAlShara,
