  Israel’s latest airstrike didn’t just hit Yemen’s main airport — it completely disabled it. The fallout could reshape the entire region. The Israeli military launched a devastating airstrike on Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport, marking its second attack in two days against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The strike, which reportedly killed three people, was a direct response to a Houthi missile that landed near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport just days earlier. According to Israeli officials, the attack “fully disabled” the airport, targeting runways, aircraft, and key infrastructure. Witnesses described multiple explosions rocking the Yemeni capital, signaling a dangerous escalation in an already volatile conflict. This isn’t just about tit-for-tat strikes — it’s a strategic move to cripple the Houthis’ ability to launch further attacks. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed the airport was a “central hub” for weapon transfers and militant operations. With flights now suspended...

  As Israel’s government moves to seize the entire Gaza Strip, furious protesters flood the streets, demanding a hostage deal — but Netanyahu’s war cabinet refuses to back down. Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police outside Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on Monday, demanding an immediate deal with Hamas to free the remaining hostages still trapped in Gaza. The protests erupted just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet approved a controversial plan to take full control of the Gaza Strip — a move that could prolong the war indefinitely. Chants of “Bring them home now!” echoed through Jerusalem as families of hostages accused the government of abandoning negotiations in favor of military escalation. The newly approved plan, confirmed by two Israeli officials, aims to defeat Hamas and secure the hostages’ release — but critics argue it will achieve neither. Instead, the strategy calls for forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from north...

  The European Union has issued a stark warning to Israel over its planned military expansion in Gaza, expressing deep concerns about the potential for escalating violence and civilian suffering.  In a statement released Monday, EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni urged Israel to “exercise the utmost restraint,” highlighting fears that further military action could worsen an already dire humanitarian situation. The EU’s plea comes as Israel’s security cabinet greenlights broader operations, raising questions about the long-term consequences for Gaza’s beleaguered population. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has already left thousands dead and displaced, with Gaza’s infrastructure in ruins. The EU’s statement underscores growing international unease over the prospect of intensified fighting, which could lead to even higher civilian casualties. With hospitals, schools, and residential areas already devastated, aid organizations warn that another wave of military action might push...

  The Israeli military has announced a sweeping call-up of  tens of thousands  of reservists, signaling preparations for a major escalation in Gaza.  Army Chief Maj Gen Eyal Zamir declared the move would “enhance and expand” operations, vowing to dismantle Hamas both “above and below ground.” With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convening his security cabinet to discuss the “next stage” of war, fears are growing that Israel is gearing up for its most aggressive offensive yet. But as tensions flare — including a Houthi missile strike near Tel Aviv’s airport — will this surge in military force lead to a prolonged and deadlier conflict? Netanyahu’s government insists the expanded operations are necessary to secure hostage releases and crush Hamas once and for all. Yet critics argue that the relentless bombardment and ground assaults have failed to achieve decisive results, instead deepening Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe. The prime minister, reliant on far-right coal...

  What started as a workers’ rights march in Rabat quickly turned into a fiery condemnation of Morocco’s ties with Israel — here’s why thousands flooded the streets. Thousands of Moroccan workers took over Rabat’s boulevards on May Day, transforming a traditional labor protest into a powerful demonstration against Israel’s war on Gaza and Morocco’s normalization deal. While demands for fair wages and job security led the march, Palestinian flags and chants for resistance dominated the scene. Banners reading  “No to Normalization”  and  “Workers Support Gaza”  waved above the crowd, alongside harrowing images of Israeli airstrike victims. The protest underscored a growing public backlash against Rabat’s diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv, as unions vowed to keep fighting for Palestinian liberation. The National Union of Workers in Morocco (UNTM) made their stance clear, with Deputy Secretary General Abdelilah Dahman condemning Israel’s “systematic genocide” in Gaza....

  Israel’s security establishment has raised urgent concerns over the increasing likelihood of a new nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran, marking a dramatic shift from previous assessments.  According to a report by Israel’s Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan), senior officials now believe a deal is far more probable than once thought — prompting an emergency cabinet meeting to strategize a response. The sudden change in tone suggests that behind-the-scenes negotiations, mediated by Oman, may be progressing faster than anticipated, leaving Israel scrambling to adjust its stance. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already made Israel’s position clear: any acceptable deal must lead to the complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear, chemical, and missile programs — mirroring Libya’s 2003 disarmament agreement. However, experts doubt Tehran would ever agree to such sweeping concessions, raising questions about whether Washington is preparing to settle for a weake...

  In a shocking revelation, Benjamin Netanyahu exposed how Israeli F-16s intercepted Iranian planes in a desperate bid to save Syria’s dictator — changing the course of the Middle East forever. The fall of Bashar al-Assad in December last year marked a turning point in the Syrian civil war, but what few knew was Israel’s covert role in ensuring his downfall. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently disclosed that Israeli warplanes intercepted Iranian aircraft en route to Syria, preventing Tehran from deploying troops to prop up Assad’s crumbling regime. This bold move not only accelerated the dictator’s collapse but also exposed Iran’s desperation to maintain its grip on the region. Netanyahu’s revelation came during a speech in Jerusalem, where he detailed how Iran, after witnessing its proxy Hezbollah suffer heavy losses against Israel, sought to reinforce Assad with “one or two airborne divisions.” The Israeli Air Force scrambled F-16s to intercept the Iranian planes, forcing ...

  The Muslim Brotherhood established itself in Egypt through its foundation year of 1928 before becoming a major political power in Jordan. The Muslim Brotherhood operates its political wing through the Islamic Action Front (IAF) which maintains the position of largest opposition party throughout the country. Recent developments have raised visibility upon the group's operational activities and their security impact upon Jordan's national defense. The Court of Cassation in Jordan delivered its ultimate decision to dismantle the Muslim Brotherhood in 2020 because the group failed to meet Jordanian laws for legal status correction. Though the organization suffered dissolution according to the court the members continued their activities which caused rising conflict with government agencies. The arrests of 16 Brotherhood-linked people raise more national security worries because authorities discovered their plans to make rockets to trigger unrest throughout the kingdom . The Musli...

  The Israeli military has issued a chilling warning: if Hamas does not return its hostages soon, Gaza will face an even deadlier assault.  Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Israel’s Chief of Staff, declared that operations would become “more intense and significant” if no progress is made in negotiations. This threat comes as fragile ceasefire talks unfold in Cairo, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with proposals including a long-term truce and prisoner exchanges. But with Israel already resuming bombardment after breaking the last ceasefire, killing 400 Palestinians in a single day, the stakes have never been higher. Behind the scenes, negotiators are scrambling to prevent further bloodshed. Sources reveal that Hamas and Israel are discussing a potential five-to-seven-year ceasefire, the release of 59 remaining hostages (35 of whom Israel claims are dead), and the exchange of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Another contentious proposal involves Israel withdrawing from Gaza if Hamas agrees...
