Trump Orders Halt to Military Coordination with Israel Over Fears of Strike on Iran, Says Israeli Media
Ahmed Emam Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered a suspension of military coordination with Israel over concerns that a potential Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities could jeopardize ongoing diplomatic efforts with Tehran, according to Israeli Channel 12. The Hebrew-language report claims that Trump recently held a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he warned him "sharply" against launching a unilateral attack on Iran. Trump is said to have stressed that such a move would be ill-timed and could undermine chances of reaching a strong nuclear agreement that would also serve Israel's security interests. Channel 12 reported that despite U.S. caution, Israel has continued preparations for a potential solo strike on Iranian nuclear sites. This prompted the Trump administration to intervene by freezing all forms of joint military coordination related to the matter. According to the report, Trump instructed the U.S. military to halt any cooperation with Israel concerning strikes on Iran, particularly in the realm of intelligence and operational planning. The report further highlights that Israel relies heavily on U.S. coordination, particularly regarding missile defense systems, making any unilateral escalation a highly risky move. The phone conversation between Netanyahu and Trump was described as "fraught with fundamental disagreements" over how to approach the Iranian nuclear issue. Trump reportedly reiterated his commitment to diplomacy, expressing confidence in the possibility of achieving a "good deal" that would address both U.S. and Israeli security concerns. Neither the White House nor the Israeli Prime Minister's Office has officially commented on the report. This development marks a significant point of tension between two longtime allies over the handling of Iran's nuclear ambitions and underscores the delicate balance between diplomacy and military strategy in the region. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Israeli War Spending Tops $46 Billion as Daily Cost of Gaza Assault Surpasses $81 Million
As the Palestinian resistance endures in the face of relentless Israeli aggression, new data reveals the staggering toll the war has taken on the Zionist entity's economy. Israeli Channel 12 reported Thursday that, 600 days after the Palestinian resistance launched the landmark Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023, the financial toll on the Israeli occupation—through its so-called 'Operation Swords of Iron'—has exceeded $46 billion in direct military costs, making it one of the most economically draining wars in its history. According to figures from the Israeli security establishment cited in the report, the average cost of a single day of war is approximately 300 million shekels (about $81 million). These figures represent only the direct military expenditures, excluding broader economic impacts such as civilian compensation, evacuation costs, and non-defense emergency measures. The report emphasized that the Israeli occupation forces, unusually transparent for a military institution, have provided real-time budgetary updates throughout the conflict. Of the total more than $40 billion spent so far: Approximately $1.36 billion has been allocated for rehabilitation, medical treatment, and family support services. However, Channel 12 noted growing concern within the defense establishment and Finance Ministry over the enduring nature of these costs. Unlike wartime expenditures, these are long-term liabilities. Payments to wounded soldiers, widows, orphans, and others under the Ministry of War's Rehabilitation Division will persist for years. The report added that around 16,000 Zionist soldiers have been injured in the war so far, with nearly 50% suffering from psychological trauma. Channel 12 linked the war's staggering cost directly to the adoption of the Israeli austerity budget for 2025, which includes tax increases to help cover military expenditures. The Finance Ministry, the report added, fears the prolonged conflict could force a reopening of the 2025 budget due to projected overspending by the security establishment in the billions. This scenario could result in further budget cuts and additional tax hikes as early as 2026. The war's mounting financial burden continues to drain the Israeli occupation's economy, reflecting the sustained resilience and impact of the Palestinian resistance.

Hamas says Gaza truce proposal falls short of its demands
A Hamas official said Thursday that a new 'Israeli'-approved US plan for a truce in Gaza fell short of its demands, but that it was still studying the proposal. Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim said 'Israel's' response meant "the continuation of killing and famine... and does not meet any of our people's demands, foremost among them halting the war and famine.' 'Nonetheless, the movement's leadership is studying the response to the proposal with full national responsibility,' Naim said. Earlier today, Hamas said that it received a new Gaza truce proposal from US Envoy Steve Witkoff, while "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they accept the proposal, according to Hebrew Channel 12. In a statement on its official Telegram channel, Hamas said it will study the proposal with 'the aim of serving the interests of the Palestinian people, facilitating humanitarian relief, and achieving a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.' Netanyahu told the families of 'Israeli' captives held in Gaza that they accepted US Envoy's Steve Witkoff's outlines for a Gaza truce. Hamas isn't happy with the new proposal as it doesn't include a clear guarantee by the United States that it will lead to a permanent ceasefire – a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations told Axios. Hamas has not given a negative response to the proposal, but has expressed disappointment, and a senior 'Israeli' official says the assessment of 'Israeli' intelligence services that Hamas is going to reject it – the report adds. According to Hebrew media, the proposal includes Hamas releasing 10 living 'Israeli' captives and the bodies of 18, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of over a 1,000 Palestinian political prisoners. The UN would also resume providing aid to Gaza, replacing the new 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' which made its first aid deliveries this week. An 'Israel' official cited by 'The Times of Israel' said the proposed agreement does not include a promise to end the war, and will reserve the "right of Israel to return to combat". One half of the captives will be released on the first day of the truce, and the other on the 7th day. In return, 'Israel' will release 125 Palestinian political prisoners serving life sentences, and 1,111 Gazans arrested since Oct. 7, 2023, in addition to bodies of 180 Palestinians currently detained by 'Israel' – according to reports in Arab media.
