In a surprising statement, Hamas mourned Pope Francis’ passing and praised his firm stand on Gaza.
The group lauded the late Pope for promoting interfaith dialogue and opposing genocide, racism, and war crimes—especially his vocal support for Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

The statement emphasized joint efforts among faith communities to resist injustice, colonialism, and war, recognizing the Pope as a rare and powerful moral voice in a time of global conflict.

A dramatic twist in the Gaza war has rocked Israel’s military establishment. Reports claim Hamas fighters have captured and destroyed hundreds of Israel’s vaunted Merkava tanks, delivering a stunning blow to the backbone of the IDF’s ground forces. In response, Israel’s Defense Ministry has rushed to approve a massive $1.5 billion program to accelerate production of Merkava tanks, Namer armored personnel carriers, and Eitan APCs to replenish battlefield losses. Verified footage shows Hamas deploying RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and tunnel ambushes that turned the Gaza battlefield into a graveyard of armor. For Hamas, destroying a Merkava is seen as a symbolic and strategic victory, undermining the image of Israeli military superiority. The scale of losses has raised serious questions about Israel’s readiness, sparking urgent debate on the future of ground warfare. Watch how this battle is reshaping the entire conflict.

The Middle East spirals into deeper chaos as Hamas vows revenge after Israeli airstrikes killed 10 people in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. The strikes followed Houthi missile attacks on Tel Aviv, intensifying Israel’s two-front war. Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s “fascist aggression” and urged Arab unity, while Islamic Jihad signaled readiness to join the fight. Analysts warn that a Hamas-Houthi-Islamic Jihad coalition, backed by Iran, could overstretch the IDF. With Netanyahu rejecting peace deals and Iran pushing for revenge, fears of World War 3 escalation grow.

Tensions deepen as Hamas accuses Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting multiple ceasefire deals—despite IDF Chief Eyal Zamir urging him to accept a hostage agreement. Hamas official Bassem Naim claims Israel wants only a U.S.-backed “comprehensive deal,” while admitting just 20 hostages remain alive. Reports suggest Netanyahu is stalling to preserve his far-right coalition, escalating war instead of ending it. Meanwhile, Israel has launched fresh assaults on Gaza City, prompting U.N. warnings of mass starvation and devastation.

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time?

Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemen’s Armed Forces announced they fired a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in Gaza—Israel is now under fire from multiple fronts.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have stunned Israel with a massive escalation — firing a hypersonic ballistic missile and multiple explosive drones that zoomed past interception systems. Ben Gurion Airport was struck with the deadly “Palestine-2” missile, while Tel Aviv and Ashkelon were hit with drone attacks. Israel was thrown into chaos as flights were halted, shelters filled, and defenses failed to stop the assault. Is this the beginning of a wider war in the region? Watch the full breakdown of Yemen’s latest pro-Palestinian operation and what it means for Israel’s security.

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.
