In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syria’s General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a “misunderstanding” and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says it’s intervening to protect the Druze community.
With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional war—or a chance for diplomacy to prevail?

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage allegedly showing Hamas fighters taking control of aid containers in Gaza. The IDF accuses Hamas of looting humanitarian supplies meant for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation, claiming its personnel ensure secure aid distribution. The video follows a New York Times report where Israeli officials admitted no proof exists of systematic aid theft. With global pressure mounting—from the U.S. to Europe—the war of narratives over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to intensify.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

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.

Hamas fighters scored another blow to Israeli forces in Gaza, killing two soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade during an operation in Khan Younis. The troops were inside an armored vehicle hit by an explosive. The IDF confirmed the deaths, raising its combat toll to 462 since October 2023. Hamas, reportedly reorganized, is deploying deadly tactics using tunnel-based explosives. Amid rising losses, criticism mounts over Israel’s military strategy, mental health crisis, and the recall of PTSD-affected troops.

U.S. President Donald Trump sharply calls on Israeli Prime Minister “Bibi” Netanyahu to act immediately as Gaza faces a devastating starvation crisis. More than 100 humanitarian groups warn of mass starvation, yet Israel denies the severity while maintaining strict aid restrictions. Trump puts part of the blame on Hamas, accusing them of hardening their stance and stalling hostage negotiations, leaving civilians to suffer. Is this a crisis ignored or a political chess game with innocent lives at stake? Watch the full breakdown of the escalating Gaza humanitarian disaster and the urgent calls for action.

The UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to end the “appalling situation in Gaza”, Sir Keir Starmer has said. The UK and its allies need to see “at least 500 trucks entering Gaza every day” to deliver aid, the Prime Minister added. Report by Gluszczykm.

The Netherlands to impose travel ban against Israeli ministers and summon ambassador over Gaza

Trump has ignited global shockwaves by acknowledging the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating, “That’s real starvation… you can’t fake that.” His comments stand in stark contrast to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s firm denial that starvation exists in Gaza, claiming, “There is no policy of starvation, and there is no starvation.” As images of malnourished children and collapsing aid systems circulate worldwide, Trump’s unexpected remarks raise serious questions: Is Israel hiding the true scale of the crisis?

Thousands of Israelis are marching through Tel Aviv in one of the largest anti-war protests since the conflict began, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of Israeli hostages still held in the Palestinian territory. Protesters rallied near the U.S. Embassy, calling on global powers to pressure Netanyahu’s government to end what many now call a "war without a plan." With chants against war crimes and signs blaming the Israeli leadership, this mass mobilization reflects growing unrest inside Israel itself. Is this the turning point the world has been waiting for?

Another Gaza ceasefire deal has crumbled, with Hamas accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining peace efforts. Hamas officials claim they were never informed of the U.S.-Israel decision to abandon indirect talks. Trump blamed Hamas for “acting in bad faith,” hinting at possible U.S. military action in Gaza. As rockets rain on Israel and IDF strikes continue, families of hostages and thousands of Palestinians lose hope for an end to the conflict. Netanyahu echoed Trump, vowing “alternative options” with U.S. backing.

The Al-Qassam Brigades have released dramatic footage showing the targeting of three Israeli armored personnel carriers (APCs) in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis. According to their statement, two APCs were hit with explosive devices during martyrdom operations, while a third was struck with a Yassin-105 shell. Following the ambush, a military excavator was seen attempting to bury the burning vehicles, possibly to prevent further explosions or recovery.
Helicopters later landed to evacuate the casualties. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of three soldiers and acknowledged several injuries in the attack. The strike represents a significant escalation in the eastern Khan Yunis front, highlighting the continued intensity and evolving tactics of Palestinian resistance. The footage has since gone viral, further fueling tensions and drawing global attention to the relentless warfare in the Gaza Strip as Israeli ground units suffer direct hits deep inside contested areas.
