Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, has traded regular cross-border fire with Israel since 7 October. The border clashes have intensified, and on Sunday, Hezbollah "bombarded... the headquarters of the 210th Golan Division in the Nafah barracks with dozens of Katyusha rockets", the powerful Iran-backed group said in a statement. It said the attack was in retaliation for Israeli strikes in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. A source close to Hezbo...

He then vowed to “dissolve the government” if the deal is accepted. Similarly, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told Netanyahu he would “not ...

The nine-justice panel, led by Interim Chief Justice Uzi Fogelman, heard from Israeli government's private council, which is arguing against the intervention of the court to enforce the draft. Representing the government Doron Taubman told the court that the court should not intervene in deciding when and how to enlist Haredi Jews into the military. He also argued that the court could not bar the government from funding Haredi Yeshivot (schools) because Haredi ...

Iran's hard-line former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad registered on Sunday as a possible candidate for the presidential election, seeking to regain the country's top political position after a helicopter crash killed the nation's president. The populist former leader's registration pressures Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Ahmadinejad openly challenged the 85-year-old cleric in office, and authorities barred his attempt to run in 2021. The politician's return comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program, its arming of R...

Joe Biden announced a “comprehensive” peace deal on Friday, which would see Israel stop all of its military operations in Gaza, the return of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and an international effort to rebuild the destroyed Palestinian enclave. While Hamas has reacted positively the deal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that if the condition of its goal of “the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities” is not met, the deal is a “non-starter”. The New Arab looks at the reactions to the deal. European Union European Commission Presid...

An aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that Israel had accepted a framework deal for winding down the Gaza war now being advanced by US President Joe Biden. However, he described it as flawed and needing much more work. In an interview with Britain's Sunday Times, Ophir Falk, Netanyahu's chief foreign policy advisor, said Biden's proposal was "a deal we agreed to—it's not a good deal, but we dearly want the hostages released, all of them." "There are a lot of details to be worked out," he said, adding that Israeli conditions, including "the release of the hostages and...

He reiterated that position on Saturday, saying that "Israel's conditions for ending the war have not changed: the destruction of Hamas's military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Isr...
