⚡️🇮🇱🇹🇷🇶🇦 — Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

We need tools at the same time: economic and political tools, and if necessary, kinetics, but I don't want an endless war. I'm kicking Qatar and Turkey out of Gaza. Today, Qatar and Turkey are actually customs, and they are on the board of directors that leads the future of Gaza, called the Board of Peace. Now, this is a crazy thing because Turkey and Qatar are friends of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is also Hamas.

⚡️🇮🇱🇮🇷 — Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

So there are about 30 different actions that could hasten the collapse of the Iranian regime. Okay, and Iran is holding a nuclear weapon. I am advancing towards a nuclear weapon. I am attacking with an advanced weapon. Definitely not at any cost... We have information that they are advancing. Even if the United States tells you, yes, at any cost. If they get a nuclear weapon, it endangers our existence. And it will also create a kind of domino effect where many other countries in the region, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, will all say if Iran has a nuclear weapon, we definitely want one too.

Oppositions in Iran. Organize them... Give them power, give them tools. Iran has enemies all around. Empower them so that they can fight Iran. How do you empower them? You train them. I don't want to say all the things, but there are ways to do it. I'll give you another example.

🚨🇾🇪🇸🇦 — Statement of the Yemeni Armed Forces:

The criminal Saudi enemy continues its unjust aggression and oppressive siege against our country and our people for twelve years, and has escalated its aggression this week by launching more than 450 airstrikes targeting most Yemeni governorates.

In response to this brutal aggression against our country and people, the Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah's help, carried out two qualitative military operations:

The first targeted the Aramco facility in Yanbu with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, the strikes were precise and direct, thanks be to Allah, causing large fires and widespread destruction.

The second targeted the Khamis Mushait Air Base with a number of ballistic missiles, and the strikes were also precise, thanks be to Allah.
The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to defend our country and our people, and will teach the criminal Saudi enemy lessons they will never forget, relying on Allah Almighty and placing their trust in Him, the best of protectors and the best of helpers.

We will continue our military operations deep inside Saudi territory, targeting Saudi troop buildups, and maintaining the equation of "a siege for a siege" and "an escalation for an escalation" until the aggression ceases and the blockade on our beloved country is lifted.

Sana'a,
Rabi' al-Thani 5, 1448 AH

constitute a critical security challenge, Pyongyang asserted it may invoke relevant provisions of its 2022 state nuclear force policy law, which permits nuclear use when an attack is deemed imminent.

🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israeli Defense Forces:

Last week (Thursday), the IDF struck in the Khan Yunis area in the southern Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Jihad Samih Mahmoud Ismail, a Nukhba squad commander in Hamas’ military wing.

​The terrorist infiltrated Israeli territory from the southern Gaza Strip during the October 7th Massacre and took part in the encounter with the Armored Corps soldiers from Tank No. 3, as well as in the abduction of Captain Omer Neutra, Staff Sergeant Oz Daniel, and Sergeant Nimrod Cohen. During the encounter, the tank driver, Sergeant Shaked Dahan, was killed.
​Throughout the war, the terrorist was involved in ambushes against IDF troops intended to harm them.

​Recently, the terrorist advanced attacks targeting IDF troops and Israeli civilians, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.

​Prior to the strike, steps were taken to
mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.

​IDF troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
