US, Israel are reportedly planning to attack Iran soon
The British newspaper reported citing multiple senior political, military and diplomatic sources that US President Donald Trump along with his Israeli allies are preparing to strike Iran.
According to sources, the attack could pose a threat to Tehran's nuclear weapons programs.
A senior Israeli government source said: "This should have been avoided a long time ago." It added: "It's time to draw a line."
The British newspaper further noted that the transfer of B-2 Spirit strategic bombers to the US-British military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean could be a clear sign that Washington is seriously planning to target Iran.

Earlier the US President made more than one threat to attack Iran's nuclear facilities claiming he wants to stop Tehran's threat.
On the other hand, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said regarding the US threats that Tehran will respond "decisively and immediately" to any threat by Washington unless they agree on a new nuclear deal.
"The enmity from the U.S. and Israel has always been there. They threaten to attack us, which we don't think is very probable, but if they commit any mischief they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow," Khamenei announced on March 31.

Trump says Ukraine deal would help him 'get to heaven'
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump said Tuesday that a Ukraine peace deal could boost his chances of getting to heaven, joking that his odds of making it through the pearly gates are currently low. The 79-year-old US president has previously said he wants to end Russia's war in Ukraine as part of his bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize. But a day after hosting the leaders of Ukraine and several European nations at the White House, Trump said his motivations were not all earthly. "I want to try and get to heaven if possible," Trump told Fox News morning show "Fox & Friends." "I hear I'm not doing well, I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole! But if I can get to heaven this will be one of the reasons." By traditional yardsticks the three-times-married, twice-impeached Trump is no saint. The billionaire Republican has been embroiled in a number of scandals over the years and is the first president to have a criminal conviction, in his instance a hush money case involving payouts to a porn star. But Trump has taken on an increasingly religious tone since surviving an assassination attempt last year. He said at his inauguration in January that he had been "saved by God to make America great again." Boasting strong support from America's religious right, Trump has embraced the trappings of faith far more strongly in his second term in the White House. He has notably appointed an official spiritual adviser, Paula White, who has led a number of prayer gatherings that have seen attendees lay their hands on Trump at White House events. Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday she believed "the president was serious" about his Ukraine comments. "I think the president wants to get to heaven, as I hope we all do in this room," the 27-year-old Leavitt -- who herself holds prayer sessions before her briefings, told reporters.

‘Israel' banned from largest defense exhibition in Netherlands: report
'Israeli' defense companies will not be permitted to participate in the Netherlands' largest military exhibition, the NIDV Exhibition for Defense & Security (NEDS), according to 'Israeli' officials speaking to 'Globes', an 'Israeli' business daily. The event, scheduled for November 2025 in Rotterdam, has in past years hosted major 'Israeli' defense contractors, including Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Elbit Systems, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. While the organizers of the NEDS exhibition cited 'security issues and organizational difficulties' in a letter to the affected companies, the decision is widely reported to be linked to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and a broader shift in Dutch policy toward 'Israel'. The move follows a similar ban on 'Israeli' companies at the French Eurosatory arms exhibition in June 2025. The exclusion of 'Israeli' firms is the latest in a series of actions taken by the Netherlands. Months after the start of the war in Gaza, a Dutch court ruling halted direct exports of F-35 fighter jet parts to 'Israel'. More recently, the Dutch government supported a legal review of the EU Association Agreement with 'Israel', which found 'indications' that human rights requirements had been violated.

Tensions Escalate Between Israel and France Over Macron's Plan to Recognize Palestine - Jordan News
Tensions Escalate Between Israel and France Over Macron's Plan to Recognize Palestine Relations between France and Israel have sharply deteriorated following Paris's announcement of its intention to recognize the State of Palestine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused French President Emmanuel Macron of fueling antisemitism, prompting a strong rebuttal from the Élysée Palace, which described Netanyahu's remarks as 'vile' and 'based on falsehoods.' اضافة اعلان Netanyahu, in a letter to Macron, claimed that France's recognition plan 'adds fuel to the fire of antisemitism,' arguing that it rewards Hamas, strengthens its refusal to release hostages, and encourages threats against French Jews. He called on France to replace weakness with firmness before Rosh Hashanah on September 23, coinciding with the UN General Assembly session. The Élysée responded, emphasizing that linking France's recognition of Palestine to antisemitic incidents is false and unacceptable. France reaffirmed its commitment to protect its Jewish citizens and stressed the need for responsible leadership rather than manipulation. The dispute follows Macron's announcement last month that France would recognize Palestine in September, prompting several other countries—including Canada, Australia, Ireland, Finland, and Luxembourg—to signal similar intentions. Netanyahu also sent a comparable letter to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing him of 'fueling antisemitism' and praising former U.S. President Donald Trump as a model in combating antisemitism and protecting Jewish citizens. In his letter to Macron, Netanyahu cited recent incidents in France, including the vandalism of El Al offices in Paris, attacks on Jews in Livry-Gargan, and assaults on rabbis, describing them as symptomatic of a wider trend. France has seen a rise in antisemitic acts since October 7, 2023, following Israel's war on Gaza. The country hosts Europe's largest Jewish community (~500,000 people) alongside a large Arab Muslim population sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. The Palestinian Authority condemned Netanyahu's letter, calling it an 'unjustified attack' on Macron and 'hostile to peace,' stressing that criticism of Israeli occupation policies or support for Palestinian rights is not equivalent to antisemitism. The rift also reflects broader disagreements over arms transfers, humanitarian conditions in Gaza—criticized by France as 'shameful'—and Israeli settlement policies in the West Bank. According to official reports, the Hamas attack resulted in 1,219 Israeli deaths, while Israeli military operations have killed 62,064 Palestinians, mostly women and children, figures recognized by the United Nations as reliable.
