U.S. envoy #SteveWhitkoff is pushing #Lebanon toward direct negotiations with #Israel, warning that reconstruction and military aid depend on compliance with Washington’s plan. The proposal includes a full #Hezbollah disarmament, territorial demarcation with Israel and #Syria, and a strict ban on displaced residents returning to border towns. Meanwhile, Israel will not negotiate over the 13 disputed points unless Lebanon follows the outlined roadmap. Gulf states have also been instructed to withhold funding until a political agreement is reached. The message is clear: Lebanon must align with U.S. demands or face continued pressure.

Trump and Charles Just Massacred Innocent Yemeni Civilians In the Middle of Ramadan At least 15 innocent Yemenis, many of them women and children, were killed, and dozens more were wounded, when American and British warplanes unleashed a brutal bombing campaign on #Yemen overnight. Homes were obliterated, families torn apart, and entire communities left in ruins, all while the world watches in silence. From Sanaa to Saada, from Marib to Dhamar, U.S. bombs rained down on Yemeni towns and villages. In Saada alone, four children and a woman were killed when their home was reduced to rubble. In another airstrike, Bedouin families were targeted, wiping out their livestock in an act of collective punishment. This was not about "defense" or "freedom of navigation", this was a calculated attack on a nation that dared to stand with #Palestine and #Lebanon while Zionist #Israel committed #genocide in #Gaza and war crimes in Lebanon. Washington is making an example out of Yemen. The U.S. is punishing an entire people for resisting Israeli aggression, for refusing to bow to Western hegemony, for standing in solidarity with the oppressed. And to send the ultimate message, America made sure to launch this massacre during the holy month of #Ramadan a time of peace and reflection for Muslims worldwide. The message? To the U.S., no holiness, no sanctity, no sacred time or place matters if it stands in the way of its imperial interests. This is just the beginning. U.S. officials have already made it clear that these strikes will continue for days, maybe even weeks. The question is: how many more innocent lives will be lost before the world wakes up?

The leader of the #Druze community in #Syria, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, declared on Thursday that there is "no harmony or agreement with the authorities in #Damascus" while remaining silent of rapproachment with #Israel. Although he Druze religious authorities in Sweida have rejected any rapprochement with the Israeli occupation, Druze figures visited the occupied Golan this week for the first time in 50 years, despite a religious prohibition issued by the clerics of the Syrian village of Hadar against those participating in the visit. Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri did not taken a clear stance but stated that he "will move in a direction that serves the interests of the Druze community."

Israeli officials and public figures gathered at the United Arab Emirates' embassy in Tel Aviv last night for a #Ramadan#Iftar. Among the attendees were Amir Ohana from the Likud party and Mansour Abbas, the chair of Ra'am. The UAE's relations with Israel continues amid Tel Aviv's crimes in Gaza and Lebanon, the attacks on Syria, and the starvation of nearly two and a half million Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip. #UAE#Israel

Sources from the #Druze community in #Syria have indicated that a delegation of approximately 100 prominent Druze figures is preparing to visit the occupied Golan Heights this Friday. During the visit, the delegation is expected to meet with Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the spiritual leader of the Druze in #Israel, along with other key figures from the community. They are also scheduled to visit a religious site in the region. According to Reuters, this visit is seen as the latest sign of strengthening ties between Israel and the Druze community, particularly in the wake of the ceasefire in Lebanon and the political shifts in Syria following the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad. As of now, Israel’s Foreign Ministry has not issued an official confirmation regarding the visit.

The United States has long strived to keep #Israel the superior military force in the Middle East, how did it do that?

Last week, multiple bus explosions shook Tel Aviv, leading officials and reporters to claim that the nation had prevented a “second October 7.” However, the story disappeared from the headlines soon after it was revealed that some of the perpetrators were, in fact, Israeli. #Palestine#Israel#WestBank#FalseFlag#Mossad#BatYam

Israel has begun constructing a concrete wall along the Blue Line, which separates Israel from Lebanon, encroaching on Lebanese territory. The wall is being built inside the town of Kfar Kila, with a significant portion of the village’s land now falling within the occupied territories. As part of the construction, the old wall was demolished, bringing the new structure even closer to the village. This development has resulted in buildings and shops within Kfar Kila now being trapped on the wrong side of the Blue Line. #IsraelWall#Lebanon#KfarKila#LandGrab#LebanonVsIsrael#LebaneseBorder#IsraeliAggression#BlueLine#Occupation#Israel
