Hamas LOOTING Gaza Aid? IDF Releases EXPLOSIVE Video Claiming Hamas Is Starving Gaza On Purpose

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.

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On [Video]

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On

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. #Trump #TwoStateSolution #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #UNConference #PalestinianState #MiddleEastPeace #TrumpNews #Macron #FranceUN #PalestineRecognition #SaudiArabia #Hamas #Israel #USPolitics #UNGA2025 #TrumpOnGaza #PeaceProcess #Jerusalem #GlobalDiplomacy ~HT.410~ED.194~

Israel's SINISTER Plan: Netanyahu Vows To Continue Gaza War Despite World Flags His War Crimes

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. #Israel #GazaWar #Hamas #Netanyahu #GazaCrisis #AidBlockade #IsraelHamasConflict #MiddleEastWar #GlobalCondemnation #WarCrimes #SilentWar #AlQassam #AbuObeida #IsraelUnderFire #WarOfAttrition #StarvationTactics #CeasefireFailed #October7 #IsraelStrikesBack #WarNews #GazaSiege #InternationalPressure #MilitaryOffensive #IDF #UNWarning #GazaStrip #HumanitarianCrisis #RamonAirBase #NoAid #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

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.

Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending. #SaudiSyriaDeal #MiddleEastShift #SyriaReconstruction #BreakingNews #IsraelBlow #AlSharaa #SaudiInvestment #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #DruzeCrisis #QatarSyriaDebt #MiddleEastUpdate #DamascusDeals #EnergyInvestment #SaudiDiplomacy #ArabUnity #RebuildSyria #SyriaEconomy #IsraelVsSyria #ConstructionBoom #NetanyahuSetback #HumanRightsCrisis #PostWarRecovery #WesternSanctions #SaudiSoftPower #GulfPolitics #SyriaNews #SectarianUnrest #JobCreation #SyriaFuture #RedrawingAlliances #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

Israel KILLS Gaza Journalist & Family In Airstrike Amid Collapse Of Peace Talks And Famine Fears [Video]

Israel KILLS Gaza Journalist & Family In Airstrike Amid Collapse Of Peace Talks And Famine Fears

A horrifying Israeli airstrike killed the Al-Shaer family — including journalist Wala al-Jaabari, her husband, and their five starving children — while they were sleeping in Gaza City. Blood-soaked white shrouds marked their bodies, with names scribbled in pen. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 100 Palestinians were killed in just 24 hours, including 10 from starvation. More than 111 have starved to death in recent weeks as aid remains blocked. While Israel blames Hamas and claims enough aid is allowed, the UN and relief groups accuse Israel of choking humanitarian access and shooting civilians near aid points. Amid ongoing ceasefire talks led by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt, peace remains elusive. Hamas has responded to the latest proposal with conditions, but Israeli hardliners threaten to collapse the government if concessions are made. As children starve and corpses pile, diplomacy struggles to keep up with the carnage. #GazaUnderAttack #IsraelHamasWar #GazaAirstrike #GazaStarvation #WalaAlJaabari #JournalistKilled #GazaChildren #PalestinianCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #CeasefireTalks #USPeaceEnvoy #UNAidBlocked #GazaDeaths #FoodCrisisGaza #HumanitarianDisaster #GazaWar2025 #GazaBombing #GazaFamilyKilled #AidConvoyBlocked #GazaSuffering ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump & Netanyahu Discuss New Ways of 'THROWING' Gazans out of Palestine at White House Dinner [Video]

Trump & Netanyahu Discuss New Ways of 'THROWING' Gazans out of Palestine at White House Dinner

On July 7, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for a private dinner, where they discussed a controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The plan, dubbed the "free choice" initiative, suggests that Palestinians could choose to leave Gaza for other countries. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the U.S. are working with other nations to offer Palestinians a "better future." However, neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan have firmly rejected the idea, citing concerns over regional stability and sovereignty. This proposal has sparked widespread criticism, with many viewing it as a form of ethnic cleansing disguised as a humanitarian solution. #Trump #Netanyahu #Gaza #Palestinians #RelocationPlan #MiddleEast #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #EthnicCleansing #PeaceProcess
