A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannonâs fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause â denying federal disaster aid to U.S. states that boycott Israel. That clause has since been removed, according to documents shared by conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
However, states will still be required to dismantle certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs â particularly those perceived as anti-white â to access $1.9 billion in federal emergency funding. Bannon blasted Trump, branding him "Israel First" and accusing him of betraying America First values. The explosive memo and its quiet revisions have ignited debates within Trumpâs own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction.

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state â calling it a âpure prize for terrorâ and a âgift to Hamas.â Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as âimmoralâ and âpolitically foolish,â warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza â but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As Septemberâs U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Tensions in Gaza reached a breaking point after an Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the Al-Maqousi Towers in northwest Gaza, leaving multiple civilians dead and many others severely injured. As sirens echoed through the area, chaos and devastation unfolded yet again. The strike comes amid rising pressure on Israeli leadership from within its own ranks.
Over 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former heads of intelligence, have written a joint letter to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to intervene and pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. The officials claim Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat and that continued warfare is only prolonging suffering. Despite indirect ceasefire talks stalling, Netanyahu is reportedly pushing to intensify military operations. The internal dissent reflects a growing concern that Netanyahuâs decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability.

A major escalation was narrowly avoided as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Sirens rang out across Jerusalem and central Israel as the incoming threat was neutralized in mid-air by Israeli air defense systems. Magen David Adom confirmed there were no injuries or damage reported. Israeli authorities have since declared the situation under control, but tensions remain high as the region braces for potential retaliation. Watch dramatic visuals and real-time updates as Israel faces another direct missile threat.

Hezbollahâs new leader Naim Qassem launched a scathing attack on the United States and Israel, declaring that calls for Hezbollah to disarm are part of a Zionist agenda. Accusing the U.S. of acting as a puppet for Israeli interests, Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will not lay down its arms or retreat from southern Lebanon. His defiant remarks come amid growing international and domestic pressure, with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirming his commitment to disarming all non-state actors.

A Hezbollah fighter was killed and four others injured in a deadly Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh province. The IDF targeted a motorcycle in the Bint Jbeil district, reportedly eliminating Haitham Mohammad Idris, a known Hezbollah member. This marks yet another escalation despite a fragile ceasefire in place since November 27.
Earlier the same day, Israeli forces also dropped stun grenades and opened fire in Ramieh village. Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a âflagrant violationâ of the truce, while tensions continue to rise over disputed border areas still occupied by Israeli forces.
As ceasefire violations multiply and regional instability grows, the nearly 14-month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah shows no sign of slowing. Could this be the beginning of another full-scale war?

Hours after Iranian FM Araghchi reaffirmed Iranâs refusal to abandon nuclear enrichment, the IDF issued a sharp warning, vowing the campaign against Iran âisnât over.â Israel signaled continued military readiness, citing multi-front operations against Hezbollah and Iranian targets. Araghchi called the nuclear program a national achievement, while acknowledging U.S. B-2 bomber strikes caused severe damage. Trump shared the remarks as proof of success, threatening further attacks. With Iranâs defiance and Israelâs vow to strike, the Middle East risks sliding toward a wider regional conflict.

Iran is secretly rearming its regional proxies after the ceasefire with Israel, plotting a âsilent revengeâ against the U.S. and its allies. Houthi rebels have resumed Red Sea attacks, Hezbollah is regrouping despite major losses, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are targeting vital oil fields. With Assadâs fall blocking key supply routes, Tehran is racing to rebuild its network of influence. U.S. officials warn Iran could use these proxies as leverage in future nuclear talks, raising fears of a renewed wave of proxy wars across the Middle East.

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TVâs Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air.
The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common.

Hezbollahâs Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fiery warning to Israel and the U.S., vowing that Lebanon will never surrender to foreign âtyranny.â Speaking from Beirut, Qassem declared the resistance against Israeli occupation and American influence as âdivine and unstoppable.â As Israeli strikes escalate in South Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for national unity, warns against Western-backed factions, and frames its struggle as one for dignity, justice, and regional sovereignty. A bold message amid rising Middle East tensions.

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israelâs continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take âall necessary measuresâ to end Israelâs unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.
