‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES
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 arms—an 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.
Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” 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 — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s 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 Netanyahu’s decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

The prime minister's spokesman has refused eight times to confirm whether recognition of Palestine could go ahead if Hamas remain in power and the hostages are.. Sky News
U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza.
The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza.
This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gaza’s borders.
Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation.
Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring.

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.

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones.

As global momentum builds for Palestinian statehood, pressure is mounting on Donald Trump. Over a dozen U.S. House Democrats, led by Rep. Ro Khanna, have penned a letter urging the Trump administration to formally recognize a Palestinian state. Citing the ongoing war in Gaza and recent moves by France and the U.K., lawmakers warn that the U.S. risks diplomatic isolation if it doesn’t act. The letter references the 22-state Arab League plan and stresses the need for mutual security guarantees for both Israel and Palestine. Some Democrats, including Rep. Al Green and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, is also pushing for further congressional action.

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.

A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannon’s fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause — 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 — particularly those perceived as anti-white — 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 Trump’s own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — 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 “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s 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 Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.
