Sayyed Houthi: ‘Israel' Pushing Al-Aqsa Mosque to State of Collapse
Head of Ansarullah Movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi indicated that the Israeli enemy does not hide its goal of destroying Al-Aqsa Mosque, adding that this is an openly declared objective, and the steps toward it are clear and exposed.
In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi said that the enemy's near-daily storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque is a growing attempt to impose a Jewish character on the holy site.
'The number of tunnels and excavations beneath and around Al-Aqsa Mosque has reached 27, through which the enemy seeks to bring the mosque to a state of collapse.'
'The southern wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque has become suspended without supporting or protective foundations,' Sayyed Houthi said, 'Work on the tunnels continues and was initially planned in 2005. The Israeli enemy inaugurated it six years ago with the participation of the U.S. ambassador at the time.'
Houthi maintained that the Muslims remained in complete silence instead of taking action in response to the targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Quds.
The soft war, according to Houthi, renders the Ummah vulnerable to extermination, total control, and absolute domination by the enemies.
'The tools used by the Israeli enemy to dig excavations and tunnels under Al-Aqsa Mosque and in Al-Quds aim to destroy the history, present, and future of Muslims. The Israeli occupation is militarily weak in the face of Palestinian steadfastness and tries to compensate with acts of genocide.'
Palestinian steadfastness is the primary reason the 'Israeli' enemy has not been able to advance significantly in its broader plans, Sayyed Houthi affirmed.
Meanwhile, Sayyed Houthi maintained that Resistance and Liberation Day in Lebanon is a great and significant occasion that marked a pivotal moment in the struggle against the 'Israeli' enemy.
On Syria, Houthi noted that the continued 'Israeli' airstrikes, along with incursions, kidnappings, theft, and looting, are a lesson to everyone that no one is safe from the 'Israeli' enemy.
Sayyed Houthi highlighted the Yemeni operations against the Israeli enemy and in the Red Sea in support of Gaza, adding that the Zionist airstrikes on Yemen indicate the effectiveness of the Yemeni attacks.
'The Israeli enemy is witnessing and living under the pressure and influence of our active stance in Yemen, and this is a great blessing. We aim to escalate in support of the Palestinian people, and operations in the coming phase will be more effective and impactful against the Israeli enemy.'

Israel accuses France's Macron of 'crusade against the Jewish state'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours Israel accused French President Emmanuel Macron of undertaking a "crusade against the Jewish state" on Friday after he called for European countries to harden their stance on Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza did not improve. "There is no humanitarian blockade. That is a blatant lie," Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement, defending its efforts to allow in aid. "But instead of applying pressure on the jihadist terrorists, Macron wants to reward them with a Palestinian state. No doubt its national day will be October 7."

Berri voices support for UNIFIL after recent clashes with locals
by Naharnet Newsdesk 8 hours Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri voiced support for United Nations peacekeepers after recent clashes between the peacekeepers and locals in south Lebanon, the latest in the southern town of Yater. "I support the UNIFIL peacekeepers whether they are wrong or right. Locals, even if they are supporters of Amal or Hezbollah, should try not to overreact," Berri told local al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Friday. "We know that Israel is against the UNIFIL's presence in south Lebanon and has targeted them many times. This alone is enough for us to support their presence," he said, adding that "their presence has also made a positive impact on the economy in southern villages." Clashes have increased in recent weeks, with residents insisting that any UNIFIL patrol should be accompanied by Lebanese Army troops. The U.N. mission was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon after Israel's 1978 invasion and today UNIFIL operates in southern Lebanon at the request of the Lebanese government and under a mandate from the U.N. Security Council, but Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon frequently accuse the U.N. mission of collusion with Israel. Israel meanwhile accuses the peacekeepers of turning a blind eye to alleged Hezbollah military activities in southern Lebanon.

Hamas says it is still reviewing a US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire
A rescuer walks over rubble to assess damage and look for survivors, in Khan Younis, Gaza, May 23, 2025, in this screengrab taken from video. Palestinian Civil Defence/Handout via REUTERS DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Hamas said Friday it was still reviewing a U.S. proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where 27 people were killed in new Israeli airstrikes, according to hospital officials. The ceasefire plan, which has been approved by Israeli officials, won a cool initial reaction Thursday from the militant group. U.S. negotiators have not publicized the terms of the proposal. But a Hamas official and an Egyptian official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks, said Thursday that it called for a 60-day pause in fighting, guarantees of serious negotiations leading to a long-term truce and assurances that Israel will not resume hostilities after the release of hostages, as it did in March .In a terse statement issued Friday, Hamas said it is holding consultations with Palestinian factions over the proposal it had received from U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. While changes may have been made to the proposal, the version confirmed earlier called for Israeli forces to pull back to the positions they held before it ended the last ceasefire. Hamas would release 10 living hostages and a number of bodies during the 60-day pause in exchange for more than 1,100 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, including 100 serving long sentences after being convicted of deadly attacks. Each day, hundreds of trucks carrying food and humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter Gaza, where experts say a nearly three-month Israeli blockade — slightly eased in recent days — has pushed the population to the brink of famine . 'Negotiations are ongoing on the current proposal,' Qatar's ambassador to the United Nations, Alya Ahmed Saif Al-Thani said Friday, referring to talks between her country, the United States and Egypt. On Thursday, a top Hamas official, Bassem Naim, said the U.S. proposal 'does not respond to any of our people's demands, foremost among which is stopping the war and famine.' The uncertainty over the new proposal came as hospital officials said that 27 people had been killed Friday in separate airstrikes. A strike that hit a tent in the southern city of Khan Younis killed 13, including eight children, hospital officials said. The Israeli military did not immediately comment. Meanwhile, the bodies of 12 people, including three women, were brought to Shifa Hospital on Friday from the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the bodies of two others were brought to a hospital in Gaza City. Hospital officials also said Friday that at least 72 had been killed in Gaza during the previous day. That figure does not include some hospitals in the north, which are largely cut off due to the fighting. Since the war began, more than 54,000 Gaza residents, mostly women and children , have been killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its tally. The war began with Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which left around 1,200 Gaza residents said their hope for a ceasefire is tempered by repeated disappointment over negotiations that failed to deliver a lasting deal. 'This is the war of starvation, death, siege and long lines for food and toilets,' Mohammed Abed told The Associated Press in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah. 'This war is the 2025 nightmare, 2024 nightmare and 2023 nightmare.' Abed said he and his family struggle to find food, waiting three hours to get a small amount of rice and eating only one meal daily.'It's heartbreaking that people are being starved because of politics. Food and water should not be used for political purposes,' he said. Another Gaza resident, Mohammed Mreil, said about the possibility of a truce that: 'We want to live and we want them (Israelis) to live. God did not create us to die.' AP
