According to Axios, this will be the first meeting of its kind since last week's unrest in the southern Syrian city of Sweida and subsequent 'Israeli' airstrikes on the capital, Damascus.

Houthis announce military escalation, begin fourth phase of ‘Israel' blockade
Yemen's Armed Forces, led by the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, announced Sunday the launch of a new phase in their military operations targeting "Israel"-linked maritime activity, in response to the continued genocide in Gaza. In a statement delivered by military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the group said it would begin Phase Four of its naval blockade, targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with "Israeli" ports, regardless of nationality or destination. The escalation comes amid what Saree described as 'unprecedented and horrific massacres' committed by the Israeli Occupation in Gaza, and 'shameful Arab, Islamic, and international silence.' He said the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza imposes a religious, moral, and human responsibility on Yemen. The statement warned that any company continuing to operate with "Israeli" ports would see its vessels 'targeted anywhere they can be reached by our missiles and drones.' Saree emphasized that the Yemeni military's actions were a reflection of its 'moral and humanitarian commitment to the oppressed Palestinian people.' He added that all military operations would immediately cease upon a full end to the war on Gaza and the lifting of the blockade. The Houthis called on all countries to pressure "Israel" to halt its aggression and siege on Gaza, saying, 'No free person on this earth can accept what is happening.'

"Israel' quit talks to prolong war, says Hamas official
Hamas senior official Khalil Al-Hayya accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately withdrawing from ceasefire negotiations to prolong the war on Gaza and press forward with a plan to displace Palestinians forcibly. In a televised speech on Sunday, Al-Hayya said the suffering of people in Gaza had reached indescribable levels and that their sacrifices would not be in vain. He described Gaza's civilian population as enduring burdens beyond what nations or mountains could bear. Al-Hayya praised the armed resistance, particularly the Qassam Brigades, Quds Brigades, and other factions, claiming they had successfully disrupted the Israeli military's 'Gideon Chariots' operation. He emphasized that for the past 22 months, the resistance leadership had used every available tool and relationship to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza. During that time, Hamas participated in difficult negotiations and demonstrated what he described as maximum flexibility, without compromising core Palestinian principles. According to Al-Hayya, Hamas had responded positively to all proposals put forth by mediators in the most recent round of talks and had reached broad agreement on many of the items. However, he said the group was taken by surprise when both the Israeli delegation and US envoy Steve Wietkoff abruptly withdrew from the talks, calling it a 'blatant move' intended to sabotage negotiations and continue the war. He rejected what he described as 'the occupation's negotiation games,' insisting that the Palestinian people should not be made victims of political manipulation. Al-Hayya described the Israeli withdrawal as part of a broader strategy to waste time while enabling further genocide in Gaza. He said that even as the talks collapsed, the Israeli side criticized the agreed framework on aid distribution in an effort to sideline the role of the UN and local institutions. He also warned of a wider "Israeli" plan to displace Palestinians en masse, pointing to efforts to retain control over aid mechanisms that have already resulted in deaths, and the occupation's insistence on carving out a large section of Rafah to establish a buffer zone for the displaced. Al-Hayya said this move paves the way for forced expulsion, either through Egypt or the sea, as part of what he called a clear attempt to eliminate the Palestinian cause.

'Israel' extends military presence in Tulkarm camps, West Bank, through Oct
The Israeli Occupation has issued a decision to extend the presence of its forces in the Tulkarm refugee camps in the West Bank until October 31, 2025, contradicting earlier reports that suggested a potential withdrawal at the start of next month. The decision includes the renewed occupation of both Nur Shams and Tulkarm camps, as well as a new ban on Palestinian presence in the Nur Shams woodlands, an area outside the camp boundaries. As a result, nearly 30,000 displaced residents of the two camps will continue to suffer from harsh and deteriorating conditions for at least three more months. The move signals the continuation of the "Israeli" military's offensive on the area, despite growing humanitarian concerns and repeated calls for de-escalation.
