Amid nationwide protests and strikes in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed demonstrators for delaying a potential hostage release deal with Hamas. Thousands of Israelis blocked roads demanding a ceasefire and the return of hostages, while families accused Netanyahu of lying and prolonging the war. Netanyahu warned that ending the Gaza offensive now would embolden Hamas and risk another October 7. The Oct. 7 Council, representing hostage families and survivors, organized the strikes, intensifying pressure on the government as divisions deepen inside Israel.

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.

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.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.”
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention.
