UK condemns Israel's approval of plans for new West Bank settlement to 'erase' idea of Palestinian state
Wednesday, 20 August 2025 () The UK has condemned Israel's approval of plans for a new West Bank settlement, which has been hailed as "erasing" the idea of a Palestinian state by an Israeli minister.
Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a massive offensive to seize Gaza City from Hamas militants. Heavy bombardments forced thousands of Palestinians to flee south amid urgent UN warnings of mass civilian deaths. Defense Minister Israel Katz called up 60,000 reservists, while...
Israelis are taking to the streets in massive protests, demanding a hostage release deal with Hamas before it’s too late. From chants in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square to anti-war rallies across the country, families accuse Prime Minister Netanyahu of sacrificing captives as he pushes ahead with a Gaza City offensive. Hamas has already agreed to a phased ceasefire deal, but Netanyahu insists on tougher conditions — leaving the hostages’ fate hanging by a thread. Is this truly the last chance to save lives?

Iran’s top security chief, Ali Larijani, has declared that meaningful talks with the West are only possible if Washington and Europe drop their threats of war. In a fiery interview, Larijani said Iran remains committed to diplomacy, but warned that intimidation, sanctions, and military strikes cannot force Tehran into submission. He slammed recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian sites as violations of international law and accused Europe of acting as Washington’s p@wn by reviving the “snapback” sanctions mechanism. Larijani did not rule out Iran’s possible exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying the pact has “brought us no benefit.” He made clear that strength — not empty promises — is what secures progress for Iran. His remarks underline Tehran’s hardened stance: real negotiations can only begin when the West accepts that war and pressure are doomed to fail.

A new poll shows Benjamin Netanyahu’s government teetering on the edge as 62% of Israelis say the leadership has lost the public’s confidence. The results come amid intensifying protests across Tel Aviv, where families of hostages and ordinary citizens are demanding an immediate deal with Hamas to bring their loved ones home. While 26% of Israelis want an urgent partial deal to save hostages in deteriorating condition, 46% back a full ceasefire agreement that would end the war in Gaza altogether. Only 18% believe the fighting should continue, regardless of the hostages’ fate. With public rage spilling into the streets and international pressure mounting, Netanyahu faces the most precarious moment of his political career. The poll suggests a nation deeply divided, yet united in one belief: the prime minister’s time may be running out.

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time?

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Israel has said it has begun the first stages of its takeover of Gaza City - as the UK condemned the approval of plans for a new West Bank settlement. Sky News
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.

Just a day after Hamas approved a 60-day ceasefire deal, Israel launched fresh strikes across Gaza, killing at least 26 people, including women and children, according to Palestinian sources. The attacks hit displacement tents, food aid centers, and crowds waiting for supplies, sparking fears of a renewed escalation. The ceasefire, which included a partial hostage release in exchange for halting Israeli military expansion, is now in jeopardy. Analysts warn Hamas may retaliate, putting fragile peace efforts at risk once again.
