Germany is one of Israel's strongest allies - so stopping export of arms that could be used in Gaza is huge shift

Hamas has issued a stark warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling his Gaza City occupation plan a “war crime” and “ethnic cleansing.” The group vowed Israel would pay a “heavy price” and accused Netanyahu of sacrificing hostages for political gains. Islamic Jihad labeled the move “genocidal,” while former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon called the war immoral and unwinnable. With ICC arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and Gallant, and over 61,000 killed, Gaza faces famine as international legal pressure mounts.

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia.
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to seize Gaza City has sparked fierce internal opposition, with National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi warning it would endanger ten hostages and fail to pressure Hamas. Top officials, including IDF Chief Eyal Zamir and Mossad head David Barnea, reportedly opposed the move, urging a ceasefire for negotiations. Despite warnings, the security cabinet approved the plan, backed by ministers Israel Katz, Ron Dermer, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben Gvir, aiming to weaken Hamas but stopping short of a full Gaza occupation.
