Israel pushes back after UNRWA raid draws international criticism

Israel rejected a joint statement by 15 countries and the EU condemning its entry into a UNRWA training center in Kalandia and seizure of UN facilities in eastern Jerusalem, accusing UNRWA of ties to terrorism based on a USAID inspector general report; it says UNRWA had no property rights to the site and that the compound will be repurposed as a school and community center, while the Knesset advances legislation to end UNRWA operations in Israel.

Israel mulls ejecting UK and European officials from Gaza ceasefire hub

Israel is considering expelling British and possibly other European officials from the US-led International Gaza Support Center in Kiryat Gat, citing Britain’s conduct in recent months. The move follows anti-Israel measures by allies and a letter from French and British diplomats criticizing Israel, and the center remains a multinational hub to monitor the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Channel 14 that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, a claim he tied to security concerns during the election season; he said he spoke with Shin Bet chief David Zini and asked for enhanced protection for any prime minister candidate, and noted that extended personal protection has been granted to his wife Sara and their sons, though he did not specify which son was targeted.

Ben-Gurion Airport strike halts Israeli air travel; flights resume after disruption

A surprise staff strike at Ben-Gurion Airport grounded flights from 2:00 pm, causing heavy disruption with departures operating without luggage and roughly 100,000 travelers affected; operations resumed by 3:00 pm as authorities ordered a return to normal and warned of ongoing disruption during peak season. Netanyahu later removed the Airports Authority union chair’s Likud membership, and the strike’s estimated cost to the economy was put at NIS 25-30 million.

Mossad chief axes two senior officials over unexecuted Iran regime-change plan

Mossad Director Roman Gofman removed two senior officials tied to a clandestine plan to replace Iran's regime that was never carried out as intended. The moves are part of a broader Mossad reorganization, with the secret Mossad-CIA proposal reportedly involving Kurdish forces entering Iran under air cover and at one point noting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential leader; the plan was not implemented after being presented to Donald Trump. The officials may take other roles within the agency.

Israel Faces a Growing Emigration Wave as 270k Israelis Leave Since 2023

Israel Faces a Growing Emigration Wave as 270k Israelis Leave Since 2023

A Tel Aviv University study using Central Bureau of Statistics data finds 268,930 Israelis left Israel for three or more months between 2023 and 2025, with about 90,000 leaving in 2025 alone. MK Gilad Kariv calls this an emigration 'tsunami' and warns it could threaten Israel’s economy and security, urging a multi-year government plan. Researchers note the trend could worsen, and a longer 12-month departure index (not yet published, expected 2027) could push 2025’s figure to roughly 45,000–50,000 for a year or more.

Palestinian Health Ministry officials claimed additional casualties on their side, while Israel pledged a strong security response.

Mount Hermon border crossing: 100 HaBashan settlers detained by IDF

About 100 HaBashan Pioneers activists crossed from the Israel-Syria buffer into Syria on Mount Hermon and were detained by the IDF, which condemned the border crossing. The group claims the authorities used heavy force and confiscated phones, and says it intends to establish a civilian settlement to cement Israeli control in the area. The HaBashan movement has crossed the boundary previously, with earlier detentions in May and April, amid ongoing tensions in the Golan Heights with Syrian militants and concerns over Israeli presence.

Netanyahu reprimands IDF chief after Iran mission leak

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly reproached IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir at a Security Cabinet meeting after Air Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Omer Tischler released a letter detailing a canceled Iran attack, calling the disclosure a national mistake that harms unity and embarrasses Israel in front of Trump. The letter claimed the strike was canceled about an hour before it would have begun, as Israel had also carried out attacks against Iran and Hezbollah, including Beirut’s Dahiyeh, with Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz vowing that Israel will not tolerate attacks on its territory.

Trump’s Stop Signal Reframes Israel’s Iran War and Its US Partnership

The article argues that Israel halted a 12-hour confrontation with Iran after a direct request from US President Donald Trump, highlighting Israel’s unusually deep reliance on American leadership and, in the author’s metaphor, Google-like influence shaping Israeli decisions. It draws on North Korea’s deterrence lessons to explain why the US pressures Israel to limit its actions, notes Iran’s evolving hostage-style leverage in the Gulf, and frames Netanyahu’s legacy around preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon while navigating these international dynamics.
