In a dramatic shift, Saudi Arabia pulls back from its pursuit of a U.S. defense treaty, citing the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and growing public anger over Israel's actions in Gaza.
The crown prince, once on the verge of normalizing relations with Israel, now insists that Palestinian statehood remains a vital condition.
Is this the moment Saudi Arabia takes a bold stand for Palestinian rights?
Explore how the Israel war has altered the dynamics of Middle Eastern diplomacy and what this means for U.S.-Saudi relations in the region.
Severe flooding has hit Saudi Arabia, particularly in Mecca, Jeddah, and Madinah, after record-breaking rainfall caused widespread destruction. Torrential downpours have turned streets into rivers, submerging cars, flooding highways, and causing major disruptions. The Saudi Meteorological Department issued a red alert for these cities as water levels reached dangerous heights. Footage from the affected regions shows scenes of cars almost completely submerged, with only the tops of their roofs visible above the water. In Jeddah, a city already prone to flooding, residents were seen abandoning their vehicles and scrambling to safety as water inundated streets. Similar scenes were recorded in Mecca, including the holy city's streets, which have become impassable.

Al-Qassam Mujahideen, the military wing of Hamas, recently released a video mocking the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as they flaunted captured Israeli drones and displayed their successful destruction of Merkava tanks. The footage includes a masked fighter showcasing the captured drones, a symbolic gesture meant to highlight their tactical victories. The video also documents a series of operations, including attacks on Israeli military vehicles and targets in Gaza, such as the destruction of a Merkava tank using an Al-Yassin 105 shell. The group also claimed responsibility for mortar shelling Israeli soldiers at the Malaka military site and rocket fire at Sderot settlement. The strikes come amidst escalating tensions as the Palestinian resistance continues to challenge the Israeli military with increasingly sophisticated tactics.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of prioritizing his political survival over the lives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Gantz criticized Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure the release of captives, highlighting that key war objectives—toppling Hamas’ rule and bringing hostages back—remain unfulfilled. He also suggested that Netanyahu’s reluctance to allow a civilian government in Gaza is prolonging the conflict unnecessarily. Gantz’s remarks came amidst rising concerns from Israeli military officials, who warned that without a clear post-war strategy, Hamas could rebuild its power and influence in Gaza.
