Arab Summit in Cairo Adopts Egypt's Gaza Reconstruction Plan, Reject Displacement of Palestinian People
An emergency Arab summit in Cairo on Tuesday adopted Egypt's reconstruction plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip, as it rejected the displacement of Palestinians.
The summit's final statement stipulated 'the adoption of the plan submitted by the Arab Republic of Egypt—in full coordination with the State of Palestine and Arab countries, and based on studies conducted by the World Bank and the UN Development Fund—regarding early recovery and the reconstruction of Gaza as a comprehensive Arab plan.'
It affirmed the rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land 'under any pretext or circumstances.'
The summit highlighted that it assigned an Arab legal committee to study the classification of Palestinian displacement as part of the crime of genocide.

It condemned a recent decision by the Zionist entity to halt the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and to close crossings used for relief efforts, affirming that those measures constitute 'a violation of the ceasefire agreement, international law, and international humanitarian law.'
Additionally, it expressed rejection of the Israeli occupation's use of a siege and starvation of civilians as a 'means to achieve political objectives.'
The statement also condemned Israeli aggression against Syria and its incursion into Syrian territory, calling on the international community and the UN Security Council to take immediate action to force Israel to withdraw.

It also demanded that Palestinian worshippers be allowed access to Al-Aqsa Mosque and rejected any attempts to displace Palestinians from camps and cities in the West Bank.
The final statement further called on the UN Security Council to deploy international peacekeeping forces in the West Bank and Gaza, with the goal of supporting the political horizon 'for the embodiment of a Palestinian state.'
The statement emphasized the highest priority of completing the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, focusing on its second and third phases.
It also warned that any attempts to displace the Palestinian people or annex any part of Palestinian land would plunge the region into conflict and undermine opportunities for stability.

Iran Executes Landmark Intelligence Operation, Obtains Vast Archive of Israeli Nuclear and Military Secrets
Iran's Intelligence Ministry has reportedly carried out the largest intelligence breach in history against the Israeli occupation entity, successfully extracting a vast cache of highly sensitive strategic documents and information from within occupied territories, according to sources cited by Iranian state media. #Iran's state TV, quoting regional sources, reported that Iran's intelligence apparatus has obtained & exfiltrated a significant archive of Israeli strategic & sensitive information, including nuclear plans & facilities, from #Israel. — Iran Nuances (@IranNuances) June 7, 2025 The operation included the transfer of thousands of classified files detailing the Israeli enemy's nuclear programs and other critical military projects. The scale and significance of the haul mark an unprecedented intelligence coup for Tehran. Seventeen days prior to this report, the Zionist internal security agency Shin Bet and police announced the arrest of two 24-year-old suspects from the northern city of Nitzhar—Roi Mizrahi and Almog Atiya—on suspicion of involvement in Iran-related security offenses. Authorities suggest these arrests may be connected to the intelligence breach. According to informed sources, the Iranian intelligence apparatus undertook this operation some time ago. The immense volume of documents necessitated extreme secrecy and logistical precision to ensure their safe transfer into Iran. Officials confirmed the successful delivery of the material to secure locations within the country. The sources noted the size of the document trove is so extensive that reviewing the files, images, and accompanying footage will require a considerable amount of time. This development highlights a major advancement in Iran's intelligence prowess against the Israeli enemy, reflecting Tehran's unwavering commitment to safeguarding regional security through enhanced covert operations.

Trump says Elon Musk has 'lost his mind' as feud fallout mounts
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Elon Musk had "lost his mind" but insisted he wanted to move on from the fiery split with his billionaire former ally. The blistering public break-up between the world's richest person and the world's most powerful is fraught with political and economic risks all around. Trump had scrapped the idea of a call with Musk and was even thinking of ditching the red Tesla he bought at the height of their bromance, White House officials told AFP. "Honestly I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran... I'm not thinking about Elon Musk; I just wish him well," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to his New Jersey golf club late Friday. Earlier, Trump told U.S. broadcasters that he now wanted to focus instead on passing his "big, beautiful" mega-bill before Congress -- Musk's harsh criticism of which had sparked their break-up. But the 78-year-old Republican could not stop himself from taking aim at his South African-born friend-turned-enemy. "You mean the man who has lost his mind?" Trump said in a call with ABC, when asked about Musk, adding that he was "not particularly" interested in talking to the tycoon. Trump later told Fox News that Musk had "lost it." Just a week ago, Trump gave Musk a glowing send-off as he left his cost-cutting role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after four months working there. While there had been reports of tensions, the sheer speed at which their relationship imploded stunned Washington. After Musk called Trump's spending bill an "abomination" on Tuesday, Trump hit back in an Oval Office diatribe on Thursday in which he said he was "very disappointed" by the entrepreneur. Trump's spending bill faces a difficult path through Congress as it will raise the U.S. deficit, while critics say it will cut health care for millions of the poorest Americans. The row then went nuclear, with Musk slinging insults at Trump and accusing him without evidence of being in government files on disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump hit back with the power of the U.S. government behind him, saying he could cancel the Space X boss's multi-billion-dollar rocket and satellite contracts. Trump struck a milder tone late Friday when asked how seriously he is considering cutting Musk's contracts. "It's a lot of money, it's a lot of subsidy, so we'll take a look -- only if it's fair. Only if it's to be fair for him and the country," he said. Musk apparently also tried to de-escalate social media hostilities. The right-wing tech baron rowed back on a threat to scrap his company's Dragon spacecraft -- vital for ferrying NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station. And on Friday, the usually garrulous poster kept a low social media profile on his X social network. But the White House denied reports that they would talk. "The president does not intend to speak to Musk today," a senior White House official told AFP. A second official said Musk had requested a call. AFP

UNIFIL spokesperson says patrol blocked in Srifa was coordinated with Lebanese army
UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said Saturday that a group of men in civilian clothes stopped a peacekeeping patrol in the town of Srifa earlier in the day despite the fact that the patrol had been coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces. 'The peacekeepers were able to resume their scheduled activity after the intervention of the Lebanese army,' Tenenti said. He added that United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 grants UNIFIL the authority to move freely and carry out patrols—with or without the presence of the Lebanese army. 'This is part of our mandate,' he said. 'While we coordinate closely with the Lebanese army, the freedom of movement of our peacekeepers is essential for fulfilling our mission.'
