‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu
In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers.
Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures.
Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead.
Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins.
The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time?
India has announced a dramatic suspension of all postal services to the United States starting August 25, following sweeping tariff changes by the Trump administration. The move comes after Executive Order No. 14324 ended the duty-free exemption for items up to $800, hitting Indian exporters and postal customers hard. With US-bound carriers refusing consignments due to undefined customs processes, India Post said only letters, documents, and small gifts under $100 will be exempt. The suspension follows Trump’s 25% tariff on India, coupled with an additional 25% penalty for buying Russian oil, pushing the total levy to 50%. Protests are rising as businesses, families, and exporters brace for chaos in shipments, refunds, and trade flows. The Department of Posts has promised efforts to restore services but warned delays could be prolonged, intensifying an already heated US–India trade standoff.

In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelensky’s authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks.

A new poll shows Benjamin Netanyahu’s government teetering on the edge as 62% of Israelis say the leadership has lost the public’s confidence. The results come amid intensifying protests across Tel Aviv, where families of hostages and ordinary citizens are demanding an immediate deal with Hamas to bring their loved ones home. While 26% of Israelis want an urgent partial deal to save hostages in deteriorating condition, 46% back a full ceasefire agreement that would end the war in Gaza altogether. Only 18% believe the fighting should continue, regardless of the hostages’ fate. With public rage spilling into the streets and international pressure mounting, Netanyahu faces the most precarious moment of his political career. The poll suggests a nation deeply divided, yet united in one belief: the prime minister’s time may be running out.

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.

Iran’s top security chief, Ali Larijani, has declared that meaningful talks with the West are only possible if Washington and Europe drop their threats of war. In a fiery interview, Larijani said Iran remains committed to diplomacy, but warned that intimidation, sanctions, and military strikes cannot force Tehran into submission. He slammed recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian sites as violations of international law and accused Europe of acting as Washington’s p@wn by reviving the “snapback” sanctions mechanism. Larijani did not rule out Iran’s possible exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying the pact has “brought us no benefit.” He made clear that strength — not empty promises — is what secures progress for Iran. His remarks underline Tehran’s hardened stance: real negotiations can only begin when the West accepts that war and pressure are doomed to fail.

Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemen’s Armed Forces announced they fired a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in Gaza—Israel is now under fire from multiple fronts.

Several Israelis were injured after a major Houthi missile strike targeted central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Air raid sirens blared across the region as Israel’s Iron Dome failed to intercept all projectiles, allowing missile fragments to hit residential and strategic areas. Ben Gurion Airport operations were disrupted, and chaos spread across major cities. The Houthi military, led by spokesperson Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as a “successful strike against Israeli targets.” Dramatic videos show explosions, debris, and civilians rushing to shelters, highlighting serious vulnerabilities in Israel’s air defense systems.

During an Oval Office meeting on August 18, 2025, Donald Trump displayed a Ukraine war map highlighting territories under Russian control — a move Russia’s Foreign Ministry called a “strong slap” for President Zelensky. The map served as a public reminder of Ukraine’s battlefield losses, undermining Zelensky’s narrative of strength before European allies. For Russia, the display was hailed as a diplomatic win, reinforcing Putin’s territorial claims. For Europe, it raised fears that U.S. priorities are shifting toward Moscow, pressuring Kyiv toward concessions.

Just months after a tense Oval Office clash that ended in a shouting match, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky struck a surprisingly cooperative tone in their latest White House meeting. Zelensky, criticized earlier for his military-style attire, appeared in a suit jacket, signaling a diplomatic gesture while keeping his wartime identity. This softer approach set the stage for lighthearted exchanges with Trump and multilateral talks joined by European leaders. Discussions centered on a potential peace deal with Russia, with Trump pushing for trilateral negotiations.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
