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...

🚨The moment of the strike VIDEO AT LINK.............. 🚨BREAKING 🚨 Joint statement from the IDF Spokesperson and the Shin Bet Spokesperson: The IDF and Shin Bet, through the Air Force, carried out a targeted strike against the top leadership of the Hams terrorist organization. The leadership members who were targeted led the terrorist organization's activities for years and are directly responsible for carrying out the October 7 massacre and managing the war against the State of Israel. Before the strike, measures were taken to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians, including the use of precise weaponry and additional intelligence information. The...

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. …

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of New York, says that he will direct the city to dump its Israel bonds, because — he claims — they implicate the city in “violations of international law.” Mamdani, a democratic socialist and Muslim, has a long history of anti-Israel activism, among his other radical views. […] Mamdani did not cite which law Israel had violated (and would likely have been unable to do so). The only known violations of international law have been by Hamas, which launched the war with its terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023; and...

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...

Levi Yitzhak Pash, Yaakov Pinto, Yisrael Matsner, Yosef David, Dr. Mordechai Steintzag, and Sarah Mendelson were murdered on Monday morning in a shooting attack at the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem. .....

It was one of the most horrific stories of the entire Israel-Hamas conflict, or any conflict. Back in late May, a retired Green Beret named Anthony Aguilar, who had been working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claimed that he witnessed an incident of such shocking heartlessness and inhumanity that it seemed destined to be remembered as one of the most cruel war crimes in the entire history of the world. There was just one catch: it has now been definitively established that not a word of it was true.Aguilar said that while he was working with the GHF, he...

Pope Leo XIV met Sept. 4 with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, calling for swift action to end hostilities in Gaza and ensure urgent humanitarian access to the most afflicted areas. According to the Holy See Press Office, the meeting — held at the Vatican Apostolic Palace — addressed escalating tensions in the Middle East and reinforced the Vatican’s long-standing support for peace built on justice and dialogue. The statement described the discussions as “cordial” and noted they focused on the broader political and social instability across the region, “with particular attention to the tragic situation in Gaza.”The Holy See emphasized...

Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger Big breaking via @KassyAkiva: Con artist Tony Aguilar, who was repeatedly platformed by Tucker Carlson, Piers Morgan, and legacy media outlets across the US, has officially been exposed for what he is. Frankly, @GHFUpdates should sue Tony for everything he's worth Sep 4, 2025

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz issued an ultimatum to Hamas: surrender, release all hostages, and disarm, or see Gaza City — the group’s last stronghold — destroyed. Katz’s statement came in apparently response to a statement by Hamas that it would be willing to release all of the hostages in return for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza — which would leave the group armed and in charge, ready to prepare for war again. The Times of Israel reported: “Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that Hamas will soon face a stark choice: either accept Israel’s conditions to end the war — including...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement revealing new information regarding the International Criminal Court's (ICC) controversial decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, calling it a "travesty of justice." "Last year, false charges of Israeli war crimes surfaced in the international media," Netanyahu began. "The ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, said he planned to come to Israel to see things for himself. Before he came, he praised Israel's independent judicial system that investigates allegations of war crimes on its own." According to Netanyahu, Khan cancelled his scheduled visit to Israel on the very day of his planned arrival...

If you had any doubts about the true agenda of the “pro-Palestine” movement, just consider last weekend’s annual People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit. It was a gathering of martyrdom fetishists, Hamas supporters and antisemites, all bathing in an atmosphere of hate, rage and despair as they condemned Israel but reserved their deepest scorn for the United States. The focus was a kind of patriotism and love of country — for Palestine. No American flags were in sight, though a prominent “Glory to Our Martyrs” banner kept everyone mindful of their ultimate duty to the cause. Speakers vied to outdo...

Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza and one of the masterminds of the October 7 massacre, lived for an extended period in tunnels dug by the Hamas terrorist organization beneath the Gaza Strip. Channel 12 News revealed Wednesday evening that following Sinwar’s elimination in Rafah, a blood-stained note was discovered in his pocket. The note contained a detailed sketch of the tunnel network under the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood - the area where he was ultimately located and eliminated. According to the report, Sinwar himself had drawn the map. The note, soaked in blood after he was shot by security...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is calling for a federal investigation into radical organizer Aisha Nizar, after Nizar openly encouraged Palestinian activists to intervene in the U.S. F-35 fighter jet supply chain. The so-called “People’s Conference for Palestine,” held August 29 in Detroit, brought together thousands of anti-Israel agitators, leftist groups, and pro-Hamas sympathizers under one roof. Far from a “peace” summit, the event quickly devolved into calls for sabotage, economic warfare, and even direct intervention against the United States military supply chain. According to recently released reports, radical organizers are furious that shipments of U.S.-made F-35 components are being...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) closed out the radical “People’s Conference for Palestine” in Detroit Sunday by boasting of her congressional power and Palestinian resilience, telling cheering attendees, “Now we’re in Congress, and we’re in every corner of the United States. We aren’t going anywhere. We are just getting started,” and declaring that their grassroots activism is winning against the “decaying halls of the empire in Washington, DC.” The weekend-long conference, organized by a coalition of radical pro-Palestinian groups, drew scrutiny for featuring extremist voices alongside Tlaib, including convicted terrorists and anti-American activists who openly called for dismantling U.S. institutions. One...

Three people, including a child, were injured Monday evening when a minivan plowed into a crowd at a festival in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, according to reports. The three-day Kipona festival was ending around 6 p.m. when a woman in a red minivan drove around parked cars and barricades before striking the crowd, the Harrisburg Bureau of Police told a local ABC station. Police said a child and two adults were injured. Mayor Wanda Williams noted that a 7-year-old boy was listed in critical condition as a result of the incident, the station reported. The two adults include a man who works...

Following Likud’s victory in the 1996 elections, the Left released its war against Netanyahu. He was a formidable political rival—a native-born Israeli and American-educated, radiating youth, charisma, confidence, and sporting a highly commendable military record in the IDF. Netanyahu’s biography and attributes were ostensibly a perfect fit for the ideological and political Left, but Bibi, considering his family and his views, belonged to the nationalist camp on the Right. Stunned by Netanyahu’s hairbreadth victory over Labor Party candidate Shimon Peres, the Left launched its campaign of de-legitimization and defamation. Tens of Hebrew University professors signed a letter in 1997 to...

Former Gaza hostage Ilana Gritzewsky recalled in a Wednesday UN Security Council meeting that during her captivity, when she was moved locations, she was forced to walk hand in hand with a terrorist as if she were his wife, so nobody would notice she was a hostage. “They grabbed me by the hair, hit me in the stomach, causing me to lose my breath. They dragged me across the floor, lifted me, and threw me against the wall. They pointed guns at me, hit me, and tried to film me with my phone. "I raised my hands, told them I...

President Donald Trump is reportedly reviewing a proposal to offer Gaza residents $5,000 each to voluntarily leave the region, as part of a larger plan to redevelop Gaza into a tech and trade hub backed by Israeli and Gulf investment. The 38-page plan, reported by The Washington Post, outlines a temporary relocation of Gaza’s two million residents, either to other countries or into secure zones within Gaza during reconstruction. Those who own land would be compensated with digital tokens that could be used to finance relocation or redeemed for housing in newly built “smart cities.”The proposal, known as the GREAT...
