‘ARM PALESTINIANS NOW’: Houthi Urges Arab Nations To Defend Gaza Against U.S. and Israel

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon. #Houthi #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #USPolitics #MiddleEast #WarOnGaza #AbdulMalikAlHouthi #Rafah #Resistance #ArabWorld #GazaWar #IsraelStrikes #Ceasefire #ArabNations #AnsarAllah #Hezbollah #QassamBrigades #QudsBrigades #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #Zionism #ArmsSupply #USWeapons #TelAviv #IsraelGaza #Displacement #PalestinianResistance #GlobalTensions Also Read Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Airstrikes Have Killed At Least 200 People In Gaza, Health Officials Say :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-have-killed-at-least-200-people-in-gaza-health-officials-say-4097629.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~

Israel BOMBS Tent City It Declared Safe | Mawasi Refuge Camp Engulfed in Fire & Chaos

Israel launched airstrikes on the southern Gaza tent city of Mawasi—an area it previously labeled a “humanitarian safe zone”—killing over 20 people. Footage shows rescue crews battling fires as tents filled with displaced Palestinians went up in flames. Mawasi, once a refuge for tens of thousands fleeing the war, has now become a symbol of devastation. The Israeli military has not commented on the strike. Officials warn that repeated attacks on civilian shelters are turning Gaza’s safe zones into graveyards. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #Mawasi #Airstrike #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #WarCrimes #HumanitarianCrisis #TentCity #SafeZone #IsraelGazaWar #Displacement #Ceasefire #Hamas #IDF #CiviliansInConflict #RescueOperations #GazaStrikes #PalestinianLives #ConflictNews #GazaNews #MiddleEastConflict #GlobalNews #GazaCrisis #IsraelPalestine #InternationalLaw #WarUpdates #EmergencyNews #TentCampAttack Also Read Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Airstrikes Have Killed At Least 200 People In Gaza, Health Officials Say :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-have-killed-at-least-200-people-in-gaza-health-officials-say-4097629.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~

Putin’s SHOCKING Praise of Hamas Fumes Trump, Netanyahu; ‘Hamas Did a Great Humanitarian Act’

Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a “humanitarian act” after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamas’ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas. The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Gaza war and Israel’s military actions. #Putin #VladimirPutin #PutinMeetsHostages #HostageDiplomacy #PutinKremlinMeeting #PutinOnHostages #FreedHostages #PutinStatement #PutinHamasHostages #KremlinHostageMeeting #RussiaHostageDeal #PutinHostageRelease #PutinWelcomesHostages #PutinNews #HostagesReturn Also Read Zelensky Awaits U.S. Response After Putin Rejects Unconditional Ceasefire Proposal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-awaits-u-s-response-after-putin-rejects-unconditional-ceasefire-proposal-4116597.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~CA.146~
