West Jerusalem will be deprived of “offensive” US weapons if it launches a full-scale invasion.

The IDF has announced it is carrying out “a precise counterterrorism operation” in the Gazan city of Rafah.

The chairman of Türkiye’s Vatan Party, Dogu Perincek, believes that with each year, the Turkish people are moving further away from Western values and the politicians that represent them. This is largely due to the position of the US, which regularly demonstrates unfriendly and even aggressive behaviour in the region, and also regarding Türkiye.

Only hours after Israel ordered an evacuation of parts of Rafah, Hamas announced accepteance of proposed ceasefire. Miller reiterated that the United States could not support an operation in Rafah.

Three Israeli soldiers were killed in a rocket attack claimed by Hamas armed wing, near the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.

Israeli authorities raided a Jerusalem hotel room used by Al Jazeera as its office after the government decided to shut down the Qatari-owned TV station's local operations on Sunday, an Israeli official and an Al Jazeera source said.

The move expands earlier restrictions on exports to Israel. Trade between the two countries was worth $6.8 billion in 2023.

The prime minister directly contradicted his own foreign minister, who promised to suspend the operation if Hamas released its captives.

The Israeli prime minister has been an “obstacle” to the two-state solution with Palestine for years, Nancy Pelosi has said.
