Israel's defence minister Israel Katz shared a statement on social media saying, "The warnings in Damascus have ended - now painful blows will come." He also added that the Israeli military will "continue to operate forcefully" in Suweida.

Emiratis Fume As Israel Envoy ‘Creates A Scene' At UAE Bar
'Selfish Hamas': US, Israel Spring A 'Surprise' By Cutting Short Gaza Truce-Hostage Release Talks Efforts to secure a long-awaited ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza have hit a fresh roadblock, as both Israel and the United States recalled their negotiators from Doha. The talks, underway since July 6, aimed to facilitate a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of 18 others, alongside a reciprocal release of Palestinian prisoners. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff called Hamas' latest response 'selfish', stating the group was not acting in good faith. His remarks were echoed in Washington and Jerusalem, though both nations clarified that negotiations had not collapsed. Israeli officials insisted that this was not a crisis, but rather a moment of 'evidence of Hamas' rejectionist approach.' In response, Hamas condemned Witkoff's comments, calling them 'negative' and 'untrue.' In an official statement, the group claimed its proposal was made in consultation with Palestinian factions and had been welcomed by other mediators, reaffirming its commitment to ending hostilities. Amid these diplomatic tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas that any misinterpretation of Israel's openness as weakness would be a grave mistake. 'We are determined to bring everyone back,' he declared. Watch. 979 views | 3 hours ago

Macron's adviser says Oct 7 'would not have happened' if there was a Palestinian state
Macron on Thursday has announced that the country will officially recognise a Palestinian state in September, angering many Israeli leaders read more French President Emmanuel Macron's advisor and envoy for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, Ofer Bronchtein, has said that the Hamas onslaught of October could have been avoided if a Palestinian state had existed. 'Everyone for 40 years has been talking about the two-state solution. It angers me that people say we encourage terror. Perhaps because there was no Palestinian state, October 7 happened," Bronchtein said. Macron on Thursday has announced that the country will officially recognise a Palestinian state in September, angering many Israeli leaders. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The president said that a formal announcement on the same would be made at a United Nations General Assembly session. 'The urgent need today is for the war in Gaza to end and for the civilian population to be rescued. Peace is possible. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,' Macron wrote. While Palestinian leaders and Hamas welcomed the move, it drew strong condemnation from Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called it a 'reward for terror'. US reacts US State Secretary Marco Rubio criticised France's move by saying, 'The United States strongly rejects Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th." Israel condemns Macron's announcement Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision 'rewards terror' and posed an existential threat, providing a 'launch pad to annihilate' Israel. 'Let's be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel,' he added. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar was equally scathing, claiming that 'a Palestinian state will be a Hamas state', referring to the Palestinian militants who attacked Israel in 2023, triggering the war in Gaza.

EXPLOSIVE Report: Yahya Sinwars Wife Fled Gaza With Fake Passport, Remarried In Turkey? Video Goes Viral
Samar Muhammad Abu Jamer, the widow of murdered Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, allegedly escaped Gaza on a fake passport and has since remarried in Turkey, Hebrew media reports said. She is believed to have taken her kids with her when she fled. The Hebrew media source Net had reported that Samar Muhammad is in Turkey and wed a few months following Sinwar's death. A high-ranking Hamas official is accused of arranging her covert exit from Gaza. Hamas is said to be involved in continuous efforts aimed at transferring its leaders as well as their families out of the blockaded strip. Fathi Hamad, a top Hamas official who has been portrayed as a smuggler, is said to have organised Samar Muhammad's wedding in Turkey. Hamad is said to be behind the Hamas members and their families leaving Gaza, using forged passports, phony medical papers, and the assistance of several embassies. Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar, the overweight muslim wife of Yahya Sinwar (the late leader of Hamas - the islamic terrorist organization/dead) escaped Gaza, crossed into Egypt with the couple's children using a forged passport and is now living in Turkey, where she has since remarried — Max (@maxm68) July 23, 2025 Samar Muhammad, as per the report, had already departed from Gaza prior to the death of Sinwar on October 16, 2024. She allegedly crossed over into Egypt through the Rafah border and later moved to Turkey on a forged passport. Samar Muhammad married Yahya Sinwar in 2011 and is younger than him by 18 years. Together, they had three children. Yahya Sinwar, generally regarded as the brains behind the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, headed Hamas in Gaza since 2017 and was chairman of Hamas's Political Bureau from August 2024. He was assassinated in an Israeli attack on October 16, 2024. Before his assassination, on October 6, 2023, the Israeli military (IDF) published a video clip of Yahya Sinwar escaping via tunnel in Khan Younis with Samar Muhammad and their kids, Samar allegedly carrying a high-end branded Hermes Birkin bag.
