‘Sanctions Don’t Bother Him’ Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Over Russia-Ukraine War | Zelenksy Loses War? [Video]

‘Sanctions Don’t Bother Him’ Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Over Russia-Ukraine War | Zelenksy Loses War?

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia. While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point. #Trump #Putin #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #USRussiaTensions #100PercentTariffs #CeasefireDeadline #Witkoff #Peskov #TrumpPutinShowdown #UkrainePeaceDeal #SecondarySanctions #EconomicWar #SanctionsFail #TrumpWarning #VladimirPutin #SanctionedNation #RussiaImmunity #TrumpSpeech #USForeignPolicy ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

‘REFUSE TO SERVE': Ex IDF Soldiers And Israelis Call Netanyahu’s Gaza War ‘Genocide’ |"IDF Stop.."

Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest Israel’s war in Gaza, with former IDF soldiers and Palestinian activists demanding an immediate end to the conflict. Protestors urged mass civil disobedience and called on Israeli soldiers to refuse military service. Actor Yossi Zabari shocked many by saying “the word genocide frightens Israelis more than the act itself.” Peace organizers plan to set up a “struggle tent” in Tel Aviv as calls grow louder for an end to what they call a “government of death.” #TelAvivProtest #GazaWar #IsraelPalestine #StopTheWar #IDFRefusers #HabimaSquare #CivilDisobedience #EndTheWar #PeaceNow #RulaDaoud #GhadirHani #YossiZabari #GenocideDebate #GazaCeasefire #NetanyahuProtest #MarchForPeace #ProtestNews #MiddleEastCrisis #JewishArabUnity #StruggleTent #AntiWarMovement #VoicesForPeace #GazaCrisis #IsraelProtests #Activism #PeaceActivists #IDFProtest #NoMoreWar #StopGenocide #EndOccupation Also Read Killing Sinwar: A Victory, But What Comes Next for Netanyahu? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/killing-sinwar-a-victory-but-what-comes-next-for-netanyahu-3963615.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Dismisses US Appeal to End Rafah Offensive Ahead of Washington Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-rejects-us-request-to-stop-rafah-offensive-011-3781707.html?ref=DMDesc Bidens Directive on Military Aid: A Shift in Approach to Protect Civilians :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bidens-directive-military-aid-protecting-civilians-gen-3747487.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Video: Hamas Fighters Walk Nak*D-Most Humiliating Moment |Israel Def Min. Katz Shares Footage

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz released shocking footage of Hamas fighters surrendering in Gaza’s Beit Hanoun. According to the IDF, three Hamas operatives emerged undressed from a tunnel after one of their comrades was killed. They reportedly led Israeli troops to a weapons depot. The IDF also uncovered long-term underground supplies. The video, widely circulated, marks a symbolic blow to Hamas’s image. Meanwhile, Hamas’s spokesman Abu Obaida warns that over 20,000 fighters remain active and promises more losses for Israeli forces in the ongoing war. #Israel #Hamas #Gaza #BeitHanoun #IDF #IsraelDefenseForces #MiddleEastConflict #TunnelWar #HamasSurrender #BreakingNews #WarFootage #AbuObaida #QassamBrigades #GazaWar #IsraelKatz #Terrorism #WarOnTerror #IsraelVsHamas #GazaUpdate #Surrender #WeaponsDepot #IDFVictory #WarNews #GlobalConflict #HamasTunnel #GazaUnderSiege #Resistance #Palestine #IsraelWar #MilitaryNews #WarCrimes Also Read Challenges in Delivering Food Aid to Gaza Amid Eased Blockade and Ongoing Violence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-food-is-not-reaching-people-in-gaza-011-7817537.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 Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Iron Dome Fails! Houthis ATTACK Israel, Hit 3 Key Targets | Israeli Defenses Crushed In DEADLY Raid

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert. Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable? #Yemen #Israel #Gaza #DroneStrike #TelAviv #Ashkelon #Negev #MiddleEastCrisis #JaffaAttack #Palestine #GazaUnderAttack #ArabWorld #MuslimProtests #YahyaSaree #HouthiDrones #HypersonicMissiles #IsraeliBlockade #WarCrimes #OccupiedTerritories #SolidarityWithGaza

Gaza Latest: Hamas BLASTS Netanyahu’s ‘Propaganda Gaza Aid’ Amid Soaring Child Death Toll In Gaza [Video]

Gaza Latest: Hamas BLASTS Netanyahu’s ‘Propaganda Gaza Aid’ Amid Soaring Child Death Toll In Gaza

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. #GazaSiege #IsraelPalestineConflict #GazaStarvation #HamasStatement #AidCrisis #IsraelWarCrimes #ChildStarvation #GazaBlockade #UNAlert #FamineInGaza #AustraliaOnGaza #HumanitarianDisaster #TherapeuticFoodShortage #MalnutritionCrisis #GazaInjuries #NetanyahuWarCabinet #UNAidAppeal #CeasefireNow #GazaAidDrop #PalestinianChildren ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Tel Aviv Demands Netanyahu's Resignation: Furious Israelis Storm U.S Embassy, Demand Gaza Ceasefire

Thousands of Israelis are marching through Tel Aviv in one of the largest anti-war protests since the conflict began, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of Israeli hostages still held in the Palestinian territory. Protesters rallied near the U.S. Embassy, calling on global powers to pressure Netanyahu’s government to end what many now call a "war without a plan." With chants against war crimes and signs blaming the Israeli leadership, this mass mobilization reflects growing unrest inside Israel itself.
