600+ Ex-Israeli Security Chiefs BEG Trump to STOP Netanyahu | Ex-Mossad, Shin Bet Chiefs' Big Plea

In an unprecedented move, a powerful coalition of Israel’s former top security officials is calling on Donald Trump to intervene and push for an immediate halt to the war in Gaza. Drawing parallels to Trump’s past pressure on Israel during the Lebanon standoff, these ex-military and intelligence heavyweights say “enough is enough.” Will Trump respond? Could this mark a turning point in the conflict? #Trump #GazaWar #Netanyahu #CeasefireNow #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelGaza #Mossad #ShinBet #StopTheWar #PeaceInGaza #Trump2025 #IsraelPolitics #GazaCrisis #BreakingNews #LiveCoverage Also Read Chidambaram Questions Government's Ceasefire Decision After Successful Operation Sindoor Against Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/chidambaram-criticises-ceasefire-after-successful-operation-sindoor-011-7815061.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc US-Iran Relations: A New Chapter Begins Amidst Military Actions and Diplomatic Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-iran-relations-new-chapter-begins-011-7783505.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~

UAE’s Gaza AID DROP Falls Into SEA? Palestinians Starve As Hamas Opposes Aid For Hostages [Video]

UAE’s Gaza AID DROP Falls Into SEA? Palestinians Starve As Hamas Opposes Aid For Hostages

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing. #GazaCrisis #UAEAid #BirdsOfGoodness #GazaAirdrop #HumanitarianAid #MiddleEastConflict #Hamas #Israel #RedCross #WarInGaza #AidForHostages #FoodCrisis #GazaStruggle #UAE #HostageCrisis #GazaStarvation #GlobalResponse #GazaUpdates #IsraelPalestine #UNAid #AirDropAid #EmergencyRelief #MiddleEastNews #GazaChildren #ConflictZone #WarNews #IsraelStrikes #HamasResponse #InternationalAid #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaHumanity 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 Murder Over Dowry Demand?

Gaza Aid Attacks: Gaza Aid Attacks Expose Humanitarian Collapse in Conflict Zone

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones. #GazaAidAttacks #GazaUnderFire #HumanitarianCrisis #BloodstainedFlour #VoicesFromGaza

Netanyahu Explodes: Hamas ‘Starving Hostages Like Nazis’ |Emaciated Israeli Captives Dying in Tunnel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unleashed a fiery statement accusing Hamas of “starving Israeli hostages like the Nazis starved the Jews.” The explosive comment comes after the release of harrowing Hamas propaganda videos showing two visibly emaciated Israeli captives inside a Gaza tunnel. Netanyahu didn’t hold back, calling the captors “Hamas monsters with thick, fleshy arms” who enjoy full meals while the hostages waste away. The shocking Nazi comparison has sparked outrage and debate across global diplomatic circles. Is this a turning point in Israel’s messaging war? Or a glimpse into the unimaginable conditions hostages are facing underground in Gaza? #BREAKING #Netanyahu #Hamas #Hostages #GazaTunnels #IsraelVsHamas #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelGazaWar #NaziComparison #WarCrimes #RedCross #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasVideos #GazaHostages #EmaciatedCaptives

Pro-Hamas Mob Holds Israeli Cruise Passengers Hostage in Greece? Protesters BLOCK Israelis | Video

Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety. #IsraelisStranded #GreekPortProtest #ProPalestinianProtest #ManoMaritime #SyrosProtest #CruiseShipChaos #IsraelGreeceTension #PalestinianSolidarity #CrownIrisIncident #AntiIsraelProtest #TouristsTrapped #GreekIslandBlockade #IsraelTravelBan #SyrosDemonstration #MaritimeStandoff ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~

Netanyahu To Resign? 74% of Israelis Back Hostage Deal |Families RAGE as Netanyahu Rejects Ceasefire

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal fails, pressure mounts on the Israeli government. Thousands rallied across Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding action to bring hostages home. The Hostage Forum warned that each day of war strengthens Hamas and endangers both hostages and soldiers. A new poll shows 74% of Israelis—including 60% of Netanyahu’s voters—support a deal. Eli Sharabi, who lost family on October 7, called on Trump to intervene. With around 50 hostages still in Gaza, public support for peace is reaching a breaking point. #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #CeasefireNow #BringThemHome #TelAvivProtests #HostageDeal #IsraelNews #GazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #October7 #Hamas #Netanyahu #IsraelPolitics #Trump #PeaceTalks #HumanitarianCrisis #Gaza #HostageFamilies #FreeTheHostages #EndTheWar #Rafah #CeasefireDeal #WarInGaza #IsraelCeasefire #IsraelProtests #EliSharabi Also Read 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 Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.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 ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer' [Video]

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport With Hypersonic Missile | Israelis FLEE To Shelters [Video]

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport With Hypersonic Missile | Israelis FLEE To Shelters

In a significant escalation, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed a major missile strike against Israel's primary international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a newly unveiled missile, named "Palestine-2," was launched towards Tel Aviv, alleging it successfully halted all air traffic and caused widespread panic. The group, officially known as Ansarallah, declared the attack was an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and the armed resistance in Gaza, vowing that such strikes will persist until Israel's military offensive and blockade on the territory come to an end. However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have presented a conflicting account. According to Israeli military sources, the incoming missile was successfully tracked and intercepted by its advanced air defense systems. While air raid sirens were activated in several regions across Israel as a precautionary measure, the IDF maintains that the threat was neutralized before it could impact the airport's infrastructure or cause any casualties. The incident has drawn a sharp response from Tel Aviv. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Yemen, threatening "dire consequences" similar to those faced by Tehran if the Houthi attacks continue. This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones towards Israel since the conflict in Gaza intensified, repeatedly attempting to target critical Israeli infrastructure like Ben Gurion Airport. #YemenStrike #BenGurion #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiForces #MiddleEastCrisis #MissileStrike #GazaBlockade #Airstrike #BreakingNews #YemenVsIsrael #BenGurionAirport #DroneAttack #HypersonicMissile #AirportStrike #YemenNews #IsraelNews #DefenseAlert #AirRaid #GlobalTensions Also Read 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 Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.346~

Hamas BLOCKS Red Cross Hostage Access,Demands Israel End all Airstrikes & Fully Open Gaza Aid Routes

With hostages visibly starving and dying in captivity, this standoff has ignited global outrage. Netanyahu compares Hamas tactics to Nazi-era starvation, while families of the captives demand immediate intervention. Is Hamas weaponizing aid — or is this the only leverage they have left?
