At the United Nations General Assembly, Lebanon's Foreign Minister issued a powerful warning: a ceasefire is urgently needed to prevent Israel's actions from igniting a devastating crisis in the Middle East.
As tensions rise, the stakes for regional peace have never been higher.
The U.S. State Department has imposed visa sanctions on senior officials from the Palestinian Authority and the PLO, citing violations of UN resolutions and continued support for terrorism. This comes as the U.K. and France announce plans to recognize Palestinian statehood at the upcoming UN General Assembly, escalating tensions across the Middle East. Israeli leadership has condemned these moves, calling them dangerous to peace and regional stability. Here's a breakdown of the diplomatic storm now brewing.

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solutionâcalling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditionalâinsisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as âhistoric.â The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macronâs bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September â making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestineâs 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macronâs decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a âreward for terrorâ and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it âreckless.â Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it âhistoric.â Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly, a move that has ignited fierce backlash from the United States and Israel. As Macron pushes for an urgent end to the war in Gaza and calls for peace, Hamas praises Franceâs decision as a âpositive stepâ and urges other nations to follow suit. Meanwhile, Israel threatens to annex the West Bank, condemning Franceâs shift as a direct aid to terrorism. This bold stance by Europeâs most powerful nation marks a dramatic escalation in the international conflict surrounding Gaza, with global pressure mounting amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Stay tuned for full coverage of the fallout from this historic diplomatic move.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister JeanâNoĂ«l Barrot confirmedâthough he warned the gesture remains âinsufficient.â
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions âabsolutely intolerable.â A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UKâbut global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, Franceâs action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

In a harrowing video released by Saraya Al-Quds, Hamas' military wing, captured IDF soldier Ron Breslavsky makes a chilling plea for food and water, revealing the brutal conditions of his nearly two-year captivity in Gaza. Emaciated and visibly distressed, Breslavsky blames Israel's Operation Gideon Chariots for the suffering endured by both hostages and Gazan civilians. His emotional message highlights starvation, medical neglect, and the mental toll of warâaccusing Israeli leadership of abandoning its own.

Country singer Alexis Wilkins has broken her silence after becoming the center of an online firestorm accusing her of being a Mossad agent "honeypotting" FBI director Kash Patel. Speaking on the Megyn Kelly Show, the 26-year-old strongly denied the bizarre conspiracy theory, calling it âincredibly disheartening.â The rumors intensified after a Justice Department memo on Jeffrey Epstein debunked claims of a hidden client list. Conspiracy theorists shifted their focus to Wilkins, citing her ties to conservative nonprofit PragerU, whose CEO once served in the Israeli army.
However, Wilkins, who is Armenian and Christian, rejected the narrative, saying critics are tying âpieces of evidenceâ together âin all the wrong ways.â She emphasized her genuine relationship with Patel, whom she met in Nashville in 2022. âHeâs honest, patriotic, and has incredible integrity,â she said. Despite their 19-year age gap, Wilkins insists the connection is realâand not a covert operation.

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?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israelâs prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat.
Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veteransâ deaths remain uncounted. With Israelâs military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategicâbut deeply human.

IDF Bombs Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon in a high-risk, precision airstrike that rocked the Bekaa Valley. The daring raid targeted Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force camps, with explosions lighting up the night sky and shaking the region. This marks a major escalation as IDF bombs Hezbollah strongholds in deep-Lebanon territory, far beyond previous red lines. The Israeli military confirmed that the operation was aimed at dismantling Hezbollahâs command centers and advanced weapons depots.

Yemenâs Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Avivâs missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets â 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 Yemenâs 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 â Gazaâs resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?
