Israel’s Gaza military operations are triggering a growing diplomatic backlash, with Australia and New Zealand signaling plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the UN this September. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the move aligns with global momentum for a two-state solution, joined by more than 15 nations including France, the UK, and Canada. Albanese and New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters have also criticized Israel’s defiance of international law, warning that Gaza’s situation has reached catastrophic levels.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take “immediate” steps to topple the Palestinian Authority (PA). In a fiery statement, Ben Gvir said this was the only suitable response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s reported plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September. He labeled Abbas a “terrorist” and the PA a “terror authority,” demanding its dismantling without delay.
His comments follow reports from Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that Abbas is preparing a bold diplomatic move as several nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UN gathering in New York. The push comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as far-right Israeli leaders push for aggressive measures against Palestinian political leadership. Netanyahu has yet to respond publicly, but the call adds pressure on Israel’s cabinet to take a definitive stance ahead of the high-profile international event.

Hamas has fiercely condemned Israel’s limited humanitarian airdrops in Gaza, branding them a “deceptive” ploy to manage — not end — starvation in the besieged enclave. The Palestinian group accused Tel Aviv of using such aid theatrics to mask ongoing war crimes, including the blockade that has led to over 122 starvation deaths — 83 of them children. As the food crisis deepens, with over 100,000 children at risk, Gaza’s Government Media Office has warned of a catastrophic famine.
Meanwhile, therapeutic food supplies are almost exhausted, threatening thousands more. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared the Israeli siege in violation of international law. At least 11 displaced people were injured after aid parcels fell on tents. Since October 7, 2023, over 59,733 Palestinians — mostly women and children — have been killed in Gaza, with 144,477 injured. The siege, starvation, and blockade continue — and so does the international outcry.

Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border.

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Israel is witnessing massive protests after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial remark referencing the release of ‘only 20 hostages’ still held in Gaza. The Hostages Families Forum has accused Netanyahu of excluding dozens of others, demanding a public apology and a clear commitment to bring back all 50 captives—both living and deceased. The backlash has intensified tensions between the government and families, with emotional rallies calling for accountability, rehabilitation of survivors, and dignified burials for the dead. Stay tuned for live updates on this growing political and humanitarian storm

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a major political crisis as far-right leaders within his coalition threaten to quit, demanding harsher action against Hamas. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other right-wing figures have voiced distrust in Netanyahu’s Gaza strategy, calling for the complete destruction of Hamas rather than partial measures. Lawmakers like Zvi Sukkot and Yitzhak Kroizer argue Netanyahu’s approach risks forcing negotiations instead of total victory. With pressure mounting and the Gaza war dragging on, Netanyahu’s grip on power grows increasingly fragile.
