'Israeli' captive held in Gaza pleads for help, says he's been abandoned
An 'Israeli' captive held by Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, Evyatar David, has issued a distress call describing severe health and living conditions inside captivity, warning that his life is in danger. In a video message released Saturday, David said, "I haven't eaten for days, and I don't know what I will eat… I'm getting thinner by the day and in very bad shape." Addressing 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he added: "I feel like I've been abandoned." David stated that his physical condition is deteriorating rapidly, saying, "With each passing day, my body grows weaker… what I'm doing now is digging my own grave with my own hands." His remarks come amid a deadlock in negotiations over a potential prisoner exchange deal between Palestinian resistance factions and the 'Israeli' government. Meanwhile, internal pressure continues to mount on Netanyahu's cabinet as families of captives demand urgent action to bring their loved ones home alive.

Foreign minister, UAE counterpart discuss humanitarian efforts for Gaza
AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Saturday received a phone call from UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss ongoing efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The ministers discussed ways to intensify joint efforts to ensure the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid to the war-torn Strip, both through land crossings and coordinated airdrop operations in cooperation with several partner countries. Jordan and the UAE have previously conducted a joint airdrop of humanitarian aid over Gaza, in cooperation with France, Germany, and Spain, according to a Foreign Ministry statement. The two top diplomats also stressed the urgent need to open all border crossings to facilitate the immediate and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid into all parts of Gaza, emphasising that airdrops cannot replace the scale and effectiveness of land-based deliveries. The two ministers also reiterated the importance of unified efforts to reach an immediate and lasting ceasefire, implement a prisoner exchange agreement, and ensure the sustained entry of adequate humanitarian relief into the besieged territory, which is facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe amid ongoing Israeli aggression. They also reaffirmed their countries' commitment to continued joint humanitarian action in Gaza and highlighted the strong, historic ties between Jordan and the UAE, as well as the shared vision of both leaderships to expand cooperation across all fields.

Putin meets Syrian FM in Moscow as ties reset
Russian President Vladimir Putin received Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani at the Kremlin on Thursday, marking the first high-level visit from Syria's new government since the ousting of longtime President Bashar al-Assad in December. Earlier in the day, al-Shibani met with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in what both sides described as a step toward reshaping the future of Syrian-Russian relations. Al-Shibani said Damascus aims to establish a 'correct and healthy' partnership with Moscow and is reassessing previous agreements signed under Assad's rule. 'We are here to represent the new Syria,' he declared, expressing hope for full cooperation in support of transitional justice and national reconciliation. 'There are great opportunities for Syria to emerge strong and united,' al-Shibani added, urging Russia to stand alongside the country as it rebuilds. Lavrov welcomed the visit, saying Moscow looks forward to the participation of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in the first Russia-Arab summit scheduled for October 15. The two foreign ministers launched discussions on future cooperation, including economic recovery and regional stability. Al-Shibani described the dialogue as 'strategic' and said Syria is 'extending its hand to the world' after years of isolation. In a veiled reference to the former regime, he noted that foreign relations had previously been misused against the Syrian people—a dynamic he said is now changing. Security, economic cooperation on the table Lavrov described the talks as 'very useful,' adding that the Syrian delegation will continue meetings with various Russian authorities. He said the two sides discussed trade, security, and economic cooperation under the 'new conditions,' and agreed to revive the Syrian-Russian joint committee to explore mutually beneficial projects. Lavrov also emphasized that all matters related to military and security collaboration remain of high interest to Syrian officials. On sanctions, Lavrov reiterated Russia's long-standing position, calling for the lifting of US sanctions on Syria, which he said have harmed ordinary Syrians rather than targeting political leaders. He reaffirmed Moscow's support for Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity and cautioned against turning the country into a battleground for global power rivalries. Military meetings In parallel, Syrian Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Qasra, Foreign Minister al-Shibani, and Intelligence Chief Hussein Salameh met with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. The two sides reportedly discussed joint military concerns to strengthen bilateral defense ties, according to Syrian state media. The visit signals a shift in Syrian foreign policy under the new leadership and an effort to reposition Syria diplomatically after over a decade of civil conflict and international isolation.
