Dozens of Israeli Druze crossed from the Golan Heights into Syria’s Sweida province amid escalating violence between Druze militias, Bedouin tribes, and Syrian government forces.
The move followed calls on social media urging Druze solidarity across borders.
In response to what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was a Syrian plan to use weapons against the Druze, Israel launched airstrikes on Syrian military convoys, killing and wounding several personnel.
Syria condemned the strikes and accused Israel of causing civilian deaths.
Despite a declared ceasefire by Syria's defense minister, clashes continued, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the execution of at least 19 Druze civilians.

Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country?
Hamas has released new hostage videos showing Israeli captive Dalal in a starving state, igniting nationwide shock and international condemnation. Iris Haim, mother of slain hostage Yotam, is urging Israel to surrender to save the remaining captives in Gaza. Her son was tragically killed by IDF fire while escaping Hamas captivity. As protests erupt across Tel Aviv, Israeli PM Netanyahu faces mounting pressure. Meanwhile, Hamas leaders defend the October 7 attack as a “strategic success,” claiming it led to global recognition of Palestine. French President Macron called the videos “abject cruelty.”

As the Middle East teeters on the edge of wider conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin underscored Russia’s commitment to peaceful solutions amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. In a bold diplomatic move, Moscow offered to mediate stalled nuclear negotiations involving Tehran, positioning itself as a central figure in the crisis.
Notably, Putin warned against any actions that may compromise Syria’s sovereignty, stressing the need to respect the nation's territorial integrity and internal political stability. This conversation comes at a time when military strikes, political instability, and nuclear fears are threatening to ignite a broader regional war. With Syria caught in the crossfire and international alliances under strain, the Putin-Netanyahu call may signal a renewed effort to de-escalate before it’s too late.

Israel faces mounting global condemnation over its military campaign in Gaza, accused of using starvation tactics and blocking aid. Despite backlash, Prime Minister Netanyahu has doubled down, vowing to continue operations until Hamas is fully eliminated. With over 20,000 Hamas fighters reportedly still active and Israeli casualties rising, the war grinds on. Europe and human rights groups have urged Israel and the U.S. to halt the blockade, but Netanyahu, speaking from Ramon Air Base, insists on seeing through what he calls Israel's “war goals.” Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens.

At a White House press briefing, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to fully occupy Gaza, stating the move is “up to Israel.” Trump also revealed he watched the disturbing Hamas video showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David being forced to dig his own grave inside a Gaza tunnel, calling it “horrible.” While Trump highlighted recent U.S. aid contributions of $60 million to Gaza, he refused to take a firm stance on Israel’s reoccupation plan, signaling deep diplomatic caution amid an escalating humanitarian crisis and global outrage.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has launched a scathing attack on Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that Israel’s global reputation is at its lowest point in history. In a viral X post, Bennett claimed Israel is now viewed as a “leper state” even by former allies in the United States. He accused Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet of fueling antisemitism, orchestrating a starvation campaign in Gaza, and turning global public opinion—especially in the U.S.—against Israel.
Bennett further warned that Israel’s military is now at risk of international prosecution due to inflammatory remarks by extremist ministers about Gaza and illegal settlements. According to a Gallup poll, 6 in 10 Americans now disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza. Bennett also alleged that Netanyahu is using the war to cling to power, prioritizing propaganda over peace. With global recognition of Palestine growing, Bennett’s warning signals deepening international isolation for Israel.

Tensions in Gaza reached a breaking point after an Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the Al-Maqousi Towers in northwest Gaza, leaving multiple civilians dead and many others severely injured. As sirens echoed through the area, chaos and devastation unfolded yet again. The strike comes amid rising pressure on Israeli leadership from within its own ranks.
Over 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former heads of intelligence, have written a joint letter to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to intervene and pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. The officials claim Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat and that continued warfare is only prolonging suffering. Despite indirect ceasefire talks stalling, Netanyahu is reportedly pushing to intensify military operations. The internal dissent reflects a growing concern that Netanyahu’s decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict.

Shocking video footage shows Israeli settlers and security forces physically blocking humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza as the enclave faces catastrophic famine. The United Nations and Danish Refugee Council warn that 70% of Gazans are now too weak to reach aid, with starvation and psychological trauma spreading across the population. The IDF reportedly killed 83 Palestinians during recent operations, as food deliveries remain restricted. Meanwhile, Germany’s BILD targets a Palestinian journalist, accusing him of staging “Hamas propaganda” — despite evidence showing the photos were taken during real aid distribution. As pressure mounts globally, Israel faces growing accusations of weaponizing starvation in its war on Gaza.

Escalating Israel's military operation in Gaza to the max - which is reportedly what Israel's prime minister is leaning towards - will stretch an already.. Sky News
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.

Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel. If confirmed, the move would mark a historic shift in Middle East geopolitics, potentially opening the door to broader normalization between the two countries.
