Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trumpâs envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostageâs release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. âthrew the deal in the trashâ and delivered none of its commitments.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahuâs office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

Edan Alexander, a 19-year-old American-Israeli soldier and IDF combat medic, was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack that ignited the Israel-Gaza war. After 583 harrowing days held underground in Gaza, often in brutal conditions, Edan has finally been freed. This video covers the emotional reunion with his family, the covert negotiations said to be led by Trumpâs team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.

The Al-Qassam and Al-Aqsa Brigades launched a brutal joint assault on Israeli troops in Khan Younis, using short-range rockets and 60mm mortar shells to pound IDF positions. Footage shows Israeli soldiers trapped under relentless fire in Kaf al-Qarara. These attacks are part of a renewed wave of ambushes and explosive tactics. Despite intense Israeli offensives, Hamas reportedly retains a force of 20,000 fighters and remains operationally strong across Gaza, continuing to challenge IDF advances on multiple fronts.

Despite sustained Israeli military operations, Hamas remains a formidable force, reportedly fielding 20,000 fighters. The group, along with its allies like Saraya al-Quds and the Qassam Brigades, continues to launch deadly ambushes and explosive attacks across Gaza. Recent incidents in Khan Younis and Abasan al-Kabira highlight a surge in asymmetric warfare. As Trump pushes a 60-day ceasefire and warns Hamas of harsher consequences, Israel insists the war will end only with Hamas' disarmament and complete ouster from Gaza.

A week after the Israel-Iran war, the U.S. and Israel are fast-tracking ceasefire talks to end the conflict in Gaza. Israeli envoy Ron Dermer is meeting with the Trump administration in Washington, while Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Trump on July 7. The summit will address ceasefire terms, Iran, and broader regional threats. President Trump stated a deal may be reached "by next week," while Hamas stressed U.S. pressure on Israel is critical. Trumpâs team says returning hostages remains the top priority.

Iran has firmly rejected the European Unionâs renewed call for nuclear talks, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slamming the Westâs stance as âhypocriticalâ and âlegally baseless.â Araghchi accused EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas of disregarding international law and supporting Israeli aggression in the region. Citing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UNSC Resolution 2231, Tehran insists it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Araghchi further declared the EU and UK irrelevant in future negotiations and warned that Western pressure will only deepen mistrust. As tensions rise and the JCPOA framework continues to unravel, is the door to diplomacy closing for good?

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated once again after Tehran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities. US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce called Iranâs move "unacceptable" and urged Tehran to resume full cooperation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?
Stay tuned as we unpack the geopolitical stakes, regional fallout, and what this means for global non-proliferation efforts.
