Why is Israel expanding its war on Gaza?
Israel's prime minister has promised to seize all of the strip – something Palestinian commentators have long been saying.
Benjamin Netanyahu added the ultimate result of this will be the 'forcible expulsion of Palestinians' from Gaza.
While partially lifting a blockade of the strip that's now in its third month, he said he's doing so only to appease his supporters in the United States.
So what does this mean for the future of Gaza and for the Palestinians suffering displacement, starvation and the constant threat of death?

UK re-establishing diplomatic ties with Syria as Lammy visits Damascus
The United Kingdom has announced it is formally restoring diplomatic ties with Syria as British Foreign Secretary David Lammy travelled to the capital Damascus to meet with interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Al-Sharaa received Lammy on Saturday alongside Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, according to photos of the meeting released by the presidency. 'After over a decade of conflict, there is renewed hope for the Syrian people,' Lammy said in a statement released by his office, noting that the visit was the first by a British minister to Syria in 14 years. 'The UK is re-establishing diplomatic relations because it is in our interests to support the new government to deliver their commitment to build a stable, more secure and prosperous future for all Syrians,' he said. Syria has been improving relations with Western countries after longtime President Bashar al-Assad was removed from power in December 2024 in an offensive led by al-Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) armed group. In April, the British government lifted sanctions against a dozen Syrian entities, including government departments and media outlets, to help the country rebuild after al-Assad's fall. Weeks earlier, the UK had dropped sanctions against two dozen Syrian businesses, mostly banks and oil companies. On Monday, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order to dismantle a web of sanctions against Syria that had crippled the country's economy under al-Assad. In a statement posted on X, al-Shaibani – the Syrian foreign minister – welcomed Trump's decision, saying it would 'open the door of long-awaited reconstruction and development'. 'It will lift the obstacle against economic recovery and open the country to the international community,' he said. Syria's new leaders have been struggling to rebuild the country's decimated economy and infrastructure after nearly 14 years of civil war that killed half a million people.

The UK's Gaza double standard
At Glastonbury, Britain's biggest music festival, two artists called out Israel's genocide in Gaza and accused the British government of complicity. On-stage remarks by one of them – Bob Vylan – plunged the country's public broadcaster, the BBC, which livestreamed the performance, into yet another Gaza-shaped row.

Israeli drone attacks in southern Lebanon kill one, injure several people
Israel has carried out three drone attacks on towns in southern Lebanon, resulting in a death and several injured, in the latest wave of near-daily Israeli violations of the November ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah. An 'Israeli enemy drone attack on a vehicle' in the Saf al-Hawa area in the city of Bint Jbeil 'killed one person and wounded two others', Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said in a statement on Saturday carried by the official National News Agency (NNA), noting the toll was expected to rise. Earlier Saturday, the ministry also reported that a separate Israeli drone attack wounded one person in Shebaa, with the NNA saying that raid hit a house. Shebaa is located across two steep, rocky mountainsides that straddle Lebanon's borders with Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel also launched a drone attack on the town of Chaqra, in the Bint Jbeil District. Lebanon's Health Ministry said two people were wounded in the attack. بالفيديو: جريحان جراء الغارة على سيارة في بلدة شقرا — Cedar News (@cedar_news) July 5, 2025 Translation: Video: Two injured due to the air raid on a car in the town of Chaqra. Israel has kept up its bombardment of Lebanon on a near daily basis, despite a November 27 US-brokered ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including an intensive period of the war that left the Iran-aligned group severely weakened. Israel says its air raids are targeting officials and facilities of Hezbollah and other groups. Hezbollah has claimed only one strike fired across the border since the ceasefire. Most of the Israeli strikes have been in southern Lebanon, but Israel has also struck Beirut's southern suburbs several times since the ceasefire, destroying residential buildings and prompting panic and chaos among residents fleeing the area. On Thursday, an Israeli strike on a vehicle at the southern entrance of Beirut, close to the country's only commercial airport, killed one man and wounded three other people, Lebanon said, as the Israeli army claimed it hit a 'terrorist' working for Iran. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, about 30km (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five locations in southern Lebanon that it deems strategic. Israel has warned that it will keep attacking Lebanon until Hezbollah has been disarmed. Nearly 250 people have been killed and 609 wounded in Israeli attacks in Lebanon between November 28 – the day after the ceasefire took effect – and the end of June, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. A United States envoy is expected in Beirut early next week to discuss with Lebanon's leadership efforts to pressure Hezbollah to relinquish its arms to the state. Hezbollah has rejected a US proposal to disarm by November, calling it 'suicidal' amid daily Israeli attacks. Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun has repeatedly called on the US and France to rein in Israel's attacks, noting that disarming Hezbollah is a 'sensitive, delicate issue'.
