Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down armsâan assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal.
As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed.

Cambodia is set to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, crediting his pivotal role in negotiating a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after a deadly five-day border conflict. Cambodiaâs Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol hailed Trumpâs âgreat efforts for peace,â saying his intervention â including threats to pull out of trade talks â forced both Southeast Asian nations to come to the negotiating table.
The ceasefire, brokered in Malaysia, ended the regionâs worst violence in over a decade, which left at least 43 people dead and displaced over 300,000. Trump said the war âwould have turned nasty,â but was halted by leveraging trade diplomacy. This marks Trumpâs third recent Nobel recommendation, following nominations by Israel and Pakistan for mediating other global crises. The Cambodian leader also praised Trump for reducing tariffs on Cambodian exports, sparing the nationâs garment and footwear sector from economic collapse.

At least 10 Palestinians were k#lled after Israeli fire targeted civilians near two Gaza aid sites, just as hunger-related deaths surged, with seven dying in 24 hours, including a child. Witnesses say Israeli troops opened fire on crowds near the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site and at the Zikim crossing, days after a top U.S. envoy visited.
The deadly incident follows the deaths of 859 Palestinians near GHF zones since May. Meanwhile, starvation claims more lives as food trucks remain blocked and airdrops prove insufficient. Hostage families fear their loved ones are starving too and demand a deal. As U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff meets families in Tel Aviv, pressure mounts on Israel to negotiate. Airstrikes on shelters and tents continue to k#ll civilians as Gaza plunges deeper into crisis. With 93 children now confirmed dead from malnutrition, the war's humanitarian cost is spiraling into catastrophe.

Tel Aviv witnessed emotional and politically charged protests as the war in Gaza and the unresolved hostage crisis continue to haunt Israel. On one end of the cityâs beachside, left-wing Israeli activists staged a solemn vigil, holding up photos of Palestinian children killed during the months-long bombardment of Gaza. The haunting memorial served as a reminder of the devastating toll on civilians.
Simultaneously, hundreds gathered outside the Defence Ministry headquarters demanding swift government action for the release of hostages still held captive by Palestinian militants since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. The dual protests, though emotionally and ideologically different, reflect a nation torn between grief, anger, and the urgent desire for closure. As frustration grows, both against Hamas and within Israeli leadership, the demonstrations reveal deep cracks in public sentiment over how the Gaza war has been waged â and what itâs left behind.

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.
