A Palestinian community leader has been killed in an area in the West Bank which was documented in the Oscar-winning film No Other Land, according to the movie's.. Sky News
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.

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.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin â but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed âsanctions immunity,â Trumpâs frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trumpâs acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russiaâs economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.

Slovenia has made history as the first EU country to impose a full ban on arms imports, exports, and transit to Israel amid the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Prime Minister Robert Golob boldly declared that responsible nations must actâeven if it means stepping ahead of others to uphold international law. This move exposes the European Unionâs failure to take concrete measures against Israelâs blockade and ongoing war crimes, which have killed over 60,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. As Slovenia plans further sanctions, will other EU countries follow and challenge Israelâs brutal military campaign? Dive into this explosive shift in European policy and the mounting pressure on Israelâs government.

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: âSurrender and release the hostagesâ or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israelâs war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his toneâdemanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering.
