"Justice For Gaza" Chants Echo As Celebrations Erupt Across Palestine | Tel Aviv DESTROYED By Iran

Celebrations broke out in Gaza and parts of the West Bank as Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes against Israel. Videos show Palestinians cheering, waving flags, and chanting slogans as Iranian missiles hit Tel Aviv. The strikes followed Israel’s deadly assault on Iran’s nuclear program, which killed senior IRGC figures. Supporters across the region, including parts of Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, celebrated Iran’s response. The mood was one of vindication for many, who view Iran’s attack as a counterstrike against years of Israeli aggression in Gaza and the wider region. #IranIsraelConflict #PalestiniansCelebrate #GazaStrikesBack #IranMissileStrike #TelAvivHit #IRGCRetaliation #MiddleEastTensions #GazaCelebration #IranVsIsrael #WestBankReacts #TehranStrike #IRGCCommandersKilled #RetaliationCelebrated #IsraelIranTensions #BreakingNewsMiddleEast #MissileAttackCelebration #HamasResponse #ResistanceCheered #GlobalReaction #WarInMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

‘Greta Thunberg and 11 others will be…’ Israel’s Move SHOCKS World | Israel Commits ‘War-Crime’?

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and 11 others aboard the Gaza-bound aid boat Madleen will be deported, Israel confirmed. The vessel was intercepted by Israeli naval forces, who dubbed it a “selfie yacht” with limited aid. Thunberg, in a pre-recorded video, accused the Israeli military of “kidnapping” them. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the seizure, urging activist safety. Sweden’s Foreign Ministry is now in contact with Israeli officials, while global outcry mounts. Will more ships challenge the blockade? And what happens next for Thunberg?

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED [Video]

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED

New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights. #NewZealand #Māori #Haka #Parliament #IndigenousRights #RawiriWaititi #DebbieNgarewaPacker #HanaRawhitiMaipiClarke #TePātiMāori #MāoriCulture #GovernmentProtest #MāoriProtest #PoliticalDebate #CulturalProtest #ControversialBill #MāoriInParliament #IndigenousVoices #PoliticalSuspension #NewZealandPolitics #ParliamentaryProtest #ConservativeGovernment #IndigenousRightsDebate #PublicLife #MāoriRepresentation #GovernmentAgenda #OppositionProtest #CulturalIdentity #PoliticalDiscipline #TePātiMāoriProtest #MāoriTensions Also Read New Zealand Lawmaker Confronts Deepfake Abuse With Bold AI Demonstration In Parliament :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-mp-stuns-parliament-with-ai-generated-nude-image-to-expose-deepfake-abuse-4172979.html?ref=DMDesc New Zealand Immigration Minister Slammed For Comparing Indian Emails To 'Spams': 'I Never Respond To Them' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-immigration-minister-slammed-for-comparing-indian-emails-to-spams-i-never-respond-to-4164093.html?ref=DMDesc 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts New Zealand’s Riverton Coast, No Tsunami Alert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/6-8-magnitude-earthquake-jolts-new-zealand-s-riverton-coast-no-tsunami-alert-4104235.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~

Nuclear Crisis in Making: Israel Bombs Iran’s Main Enrichment Site, Leak Rumors Explode-IAEA Explain

Tensions between Israel and Iran have reached a critical point after the Israeli military confirmed a precision strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility—the heart of Tehran’s uranium enrichment program. Shortly after the attack, rumors of a radiation leak at the site flooded social media, sparking panic and speculation across the region. While Iranian authorities remained silent, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has now stepped in, denying any detected radiation leak but warning of "grave consequences" if strikes near nuclear sites continue. #IsraelIran #Natanz #NuclearLeak #IAEA #Radiation #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelStrike #IranNuclear #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UraniumEnrichment #WorldNews #NuclearCrisis #IAEAReport Also Read Israel Military Issues Apology After Posting Map Incorrectly Showing Kashmir In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-military-issues-apology-after-posting-map-incorrectly-showing-kashmir-in-pakistan-4181253.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Gave Iran 60 days, Today Is 61’: Trump Urges Iran To Make Deal 'Before It's Too Late' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/gave-iran-60-days-today-is-61-us-president-trump-urges-iran-to-make-deal-before-its-too-late-4181215.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Strikes Iran's Nuclear Sites, Kills Top Generals; Iran Retaliates With Missile Barrages :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-strikes-irans-nuclear-sites-kills-top-generals-iran-retaliates-with-missile-barrages-4181203.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~
