Hamas to Release 3 Hostages, Israel Frees 183 Prisoners – Desperate Deal to Keep Ceasefire Alive
Hamas has announced the release of three more Israeli hostages as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal, while Israel is set to free 183 Palestinian prisoners in return.
This marks the fifth high-stakes exchange under the fragile truce, raising critical questions—Is this a step toward peace, or a dangerous deal with lasting consequences?
As tensions remain high, U.S. and Israeli officials continue pushing for the relocation of Gaza’s population after the war.
With uncertainty surrounding the next phase of negotiations, will the ceasefire hold, or is another escalation inevitable?
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

A senior Iranian official confirmed that Israel attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a high-level military meeting amid Israel's June attacks on Iran. Presidential advisor Sayyed Mehdi Tabatabaei revealed that Israel targeted a gathering of political and military leaders with a large-scale explosion, calling it a direct operation aimed at decapitating Iran's leadership. Pezeshkian himself confirmed the assassination attempt in a recent interview, criticizing Israeli hostility and U.S. complicity. Iran has vowed to reject any future negotiations that seek to undermine its nuclear capabilities and missile program, which it considers non-negotiable national rights. Iranian leaders also accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of bias and warned that cooperation with the agency depends on fair treatment.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s 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.
Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s 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 — and Eilat is no longer open.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released dramatic footage showing the moment a massive 500-meter Hamas tunnel was destroyed in a precision airstrike in Gaza. The video captures the tunnel’s complete obliteration, sending shockwaves through the underground structure as plumes of smoke and debris erupt on the surface. According to the IDF, the tunnel was a strategic passage used for smuggling weapons and launching attacks against Israeli forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared he is open to a permanent end to the Gaza war—but only if Hamas fully disarms and Gaza is completely demilitarized. Speaking after a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, Netanyahu laid out strict conditions, including the removal of Hamas as a governing body. Warning that peace will be pursued either through diplomacy or force, his statement has drawn sharp international reactions and raised questions about the viability of a long-term resolution.

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw troops from Gaza’s strategic Morag corridor. Hamas demands a full pullout, calling Israel’s military presence a deal-breaker. Critics warn Israel’s position could derail humanitarian deals and lead to mass displacement. U.S. and Qatari mediators are scrambling to salvage negotiations. With allegations of ethnic cleansing surfacing, Israel’s hardline stance is seen by some as a strategic move to maintain control over southern Gaza during any truce.

The protest followed Merz’s controversial remarks praising Israel for doing the “Dirty work” in Gaza, which drew widespread criticism from activists and rights groups. The incident highlights growing unrest in Europe over the Gaza conflict and rising backlash against political leaders seen as unconditionally supporting Israeli military actions.

A harrowing attack in southern Gaza claimed the life of Master Sgt. Abraham Azulay, 25, an Israeli combat-engineering reservist, as Hamas gunmen attempted to abduct him during a tunnel ambush. Azulay was killed in the struggle, and militants tried to drag his body away before IDF forces intervened. In a related move, Israel's military has intensified its ground offensive in northern Gaza, deploying the Givati Brigade and 99th Division near Beit Hanoun, aiming to dismantle Hamas tunnels. IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said the operation—dubbed "Operation Gideon’s Chariots"—aims to set conditions favorable for a hostage swap. The violence has slowed ceasefire progress, even as Israeli PM Netanyahu left Washington without a breakthrough. Gaza's civil defense reports at least 22 more civilian deaths from Israeli strikes, worsening fuel shortages at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. As both sides hold firm, international pressure for a truce grows louder.

Tensions flare once again in the Israel-Gaza conflict as Hamas launches two rockets into Israeli territory. According to the IDF, the projectiles struck open ground near the border fence, causing no casualties. However, this marks a significant escalation amid ongoing regional volatility. The rocket launches come just hours after Iran-Israel hostilities shook the region. Security forces remain on high alert, and retaliatory measures are being considered. The question now looms—will this trigger a broader Gaza front in the spiraling regional war?

In a chilling moment that’s stunned the world, Yemen’s Houthis publicly live-streamed Iranian missile strikes on Tel Aviv, drawing cheers from a massive crowd in Saada. Iran launched fewer than 100 ballistic missiles Friday after vowing retaliation for Israel’s devastating attack on its nuclear and military leadership. Israel’s strikes killed IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and targeted key nuclear facilities, escalating tensions in the region. With over 78 Iranians dead and 320 injured, the region teeters on the edge of wider war—while jubilant scenes unfold in rebel-controlled Yemen.

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace.
