Gaza war

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has a planned visit to Israel in January 2026, after months without European leaders coming to the Holy Land due to the Gaza war.

An earlier report by Qatari outlet Al Jazeera claimed that PIJ found hostage remains north of Nuseirat.

Former hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal recounted how a Hamas terrorist sexually assaulted him while he was held in captivity and how Gazan civilians beat him and called him a "pig."

The two adversaries are signaling openness to a different relationship with Israel, and it is imperative that Jerusalem grasp the opportunity with both hands.

The return of our hostages was a moment of national relief, but once the emotion settles, we must ask: ‘Were we played by the world?’

The Red Cross will reduce its 2026 budget by nearly a fifth to 1.8 billion Swiss francs ($2.2 billion) after a huge shortfall as donors shift their focus towards defense.

“It’s very difficult to think in celebratory terms about a book that was written in response to a genocide,” El Akkad said in his acceptance speech.

This comes after the IDF targeted a senior Hamas terrorist in a strike on a building in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

Thousands of structures served as weapons storage facilities and command centers. Armed terrorists operated from inside an elementary school, and the tunnel network ran under civilian homes.

Al-Majd’s operation to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza has sparked controversy, with claims of human trafficking and ties to a questionable Estonian-Israeli businessman.

The terrorists were seen planting suspicious objects and approaching IDF troops stationed near the Gaza Yellow Line, the military said.
