The fire on Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla was likely started by one of the activists onboard, according to authorities in Tunisia — who said there was “no basis in truth” that it was struck by a drone. Tunisia’s Interior Ministry said there were no drones detected when Thunberg’s Global Sumud Flotilla [GSF] claimed it was hit by one Monday, starting a fire as it was off the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said. The ministry maintained that the group’s claim that a drone attack started the fire had “no basis in truth” — and that it was likely started onboard,...

He tried to warn them. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump unveiled a new ceasefire proposal before sending a message to Hamas: "The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well," he said. "I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter." Hamas apparently didn't pay attention to the matter. One of its senior terrorists, Bassem Naim, released a statement on Monday calling Trump's proposal a "humiliating surrender document" and saying Hamas's "right" to...

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry says it ‘condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the brutal Israeli aggression’. An Israeli attack in Qatar’s capital, Doha, targeting Hamas officials has drawn swift condemnation from across the region and beyond, with the United Nations chief calling it a “flagrant violation” of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the Israeli military carried out the attack in Doha on Tuesday against Hamas leaders. It was the first such attack by Israel on Qatar, which has been a key mediator in ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas...

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it targeted “senior officials” of Hamas shortly after explosions shook the Qatari capital Doha, in what would mark the first known Israeli air strike on Qatari soil. In a statement released on September 9, 2025, the IDF and Israel’s domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet said the operation was carried out “using the Air Force” with precision munitions. While the military did not disclose which aircraft were involved, the statement was accompanied by an image of a McDonnell Douglas F-15D Baz fighter. The military described the strike as a response against Hamas leaders “directly...

Qatar’s vocal condemnation of Israel’s operation reveals a deeper, more troubling reality: the Arab-Islamic regime has been a key enabler of the genocidal Hamas leadership. By consistently supporting Hamas, both through direct funding and media manipulation, Qatar has played a dangerous role in perpetuating the cycle of violence. Qatar’s state-backed media outlets, like 'Al Jazeera' and 'Middle East Eye', have been vocal in pushing narratives that fuel anti-Israel sentiment, much like the Turkish Islamist dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan uses 'Anadolu' and 'TRT' to spread Islamist propaganda. But it goes beyond mere media influence—Qatar has actively positioned itself as a “mediator”...

Qatar “strongly condemns” the Israeli strike on Hamas leaders in Doha, calling it “cowardly.” Saying that the strike “targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari says that the “criminal assault constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar.” Ansari adds that Qatar “will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty.” Qatar is investigating “at the highest...

An explosion at Hamas’ headquarters in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday is believed to be part of an Israeli assassination attempt on the terrorist organization’s leadership. “Several blasts were heard in Qatar’s Doha on Tuesday,” reported Reuters, which added that “Smoke was seen rising over the Katara District in the capital.” Axios’s Barak Ravid revealed on X that an Israeli official had told him that the explosions were the fruit of “an assassination operation against senior Hamas officials.” 🚨BREAKING: About 10 explosions in Qatar, Doha.

Israel's military said Tuesday that it had "conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization," amid reports of large explosions in Qatar's capital city, Doha. The Israel Defense Forces did not confirm the location of the strikes in its statement, but said it targeted leaders of Hamas who, in the IDF's words, had for years "led the terrorist organization's operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel." The Al-Jazeera television network said an ongoing meeting of Hamas leaders in Doha...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has faced a fierce backlash for claiming that Hamas is 'more like a political organization' than a terror group. The 56-year-old commentator made the comment while speaking with Shahed Ghoreishi in the latest episode of The Tucker Carlson show clipped by Mediate. Speaking about Hamas, Carlson said 'They're Islamist extremists... I don't know if that's true, by the way. Seems more like a political organization.'

White House officials rolled out a list of 15 visa-lottery jihadis and chain-migration terrorists to pressure Democrats towards a compromise on the president’s “framework” amnesty-and-immigration plan. The February 2 list of jihadis includes a senior leader in the Islamic counter-attack against personal freedom, Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook. He is an “alleged United States Hamas leader [who] received his green card through a predecessor program to the visa lottery,” said the statement. “Marzook was deported in 1997 for terrorist activities.” The statement backs up Trump’s speech in the State of the Union speech, where he urged elimination of the visa lottery...

The European Union said on Monday it doesn’t “encourage” aid flotillas heading to Gaza, as vessels carrying humanitarian aid and pro-Palestinian activists including Greta Thunberg sail for the war-ravaged territory. “We don’t encourage flotillas like this, because basically they can escalate the situation, and they also put their participants at risk,” EU spokeswoman Eva Hrncirova said. She said the EU believes the “best way … to deliver the humanitarian aid” is via partner organizations working on the ground. …

Keir Starmer must obey his “legal duty to act to prevent a genocide”, Greta Thunberg has told the Guardian while travelling onboard an aid flotilla heading for Gaza. The Swedish activist said there was a “huge absence of those whose legal responsibility it is to step up” under international law, and called out the UK prime minister before a potential meeting this week with Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog. In a message to Starmer, who has been urged by his own MPs not to meet the Israeli head of state on Wednesday, Thunberg said: “The words we will use to describe...

Gaza aid flotilla organisers say boat carrying Greta Thunberg hit by suspected drone and is on fire Greta Thunberg’s ‘Freedom Flotilla’ claim their ship has been ‘bombed’ and set on ‘fire’ by a drone. “The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that one of the main boats, known as the 'Family Boat' - that was carrying GSF Steering Committee members, was struck by what is suspected to be a drone.” Yasemin Acar, one of the activists travelling with Thunberg posted a video saying “The Family boat has been officially attacked a drone came right above it, released a bomb and it...

“Blood Libel” is not a familiar term for many of us Christians today since relationships have undergone warmth and cooperation between Christians and Jews, especially in the last two decades. However, the modern versions of blood libels have spread like the eleventh plague globally.The Middle Ages version of blood libel, a fictitious accusation that Jews murdered non-Jews (such as Christian children) to use their blood in religious rituals, has intensified again since October 7, 2023. While the medieval phrase “blood libel” may not be used explicitly, the term’s insidious meaning has lurked for centuries traveling in and out of history,...

Harvard University hosted graduation celebrations for certain identity groups in 2023 but excluded Jews. The now-deleted "Affinity Celebrations for Graduates" page on Harvard's website boasts events for "Graduates with Disabilities," "Indigenous Graduates," "Latinx Graduates," "LGBTQ+ Graduates," "Arab Graduates," "Black Graduates," and more. "Affinity celebrations are student-led, staff supported events that recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of graduates from historically marginalized communities," the web page stated. "These University-wide celebrations provide an opportunity for graduates to honor those who have helped them achieve their milestone while centering their cultural traditions and values." According to the website, the celebrations "are made possible by...

Two wars — Ukraine and Gaza — are killing civilians, destabilizing allies, and draining American power. At their core stand Russia and Iran, two regimes that cannot survive without Beijing’s support. If America wants to end these conflicts on terms that serve U.S. interests, it must compel China to use its leverage — or face consequences. Only Donald Trump has the toughness and pragmatism to make that happen. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has leveled cities, created Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II, and cost American taxpayers tens of billions in aid. Hamas’s assault on Israel and the regional...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is being widely criticized on social media for claiming he has doubts that Iran-backed Hamas was anything more than a “political organization.” Israel has stepped up its campaign to wipe out Hamas from Gaza ever since Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked an Israeli music festival, killing at least 1,200 and taking some 250 hostages. Recently, Israel struck Gaza’s only Catholic church, killing three people. The Israelis said they were investigating the incident, however, Carlson claimed the Israeli Defense Forces were exhibiting “self-destructive behavior” by shelling churches, whether intentionally or not. In his latest...
