⭕️ An era of conviction and defiance: Here are just a select few of the unforgettable stances of former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah throughout his life and political journey.

⭕️ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls for the immediate release of all remaining Israeli captives in a single phase. If this fails, Netanyahu’s alternative—aligned with the so-called "generals' plan"—is to resume intense military operations, create civilian safe zones, and restrict humanitarian aid distribution to those areas under international oversight.

According to Haaretz, Netanyahu is waiting for the new Israeli army chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, to assume command and finalize a detailed strategy. The plan reportedly includes the destruction of all buildings in Gaza City, refugee camps in central Gaza, and Khan Yunis, whether by airstrikes or ground operations.

🚨 On the day of the seventh batch of the prisoner exchange deal, the Al-Qassam Brigades released a video showing two zionist captives witnessing the handover of the released captives.

They are seen standing in front of the platform, watching the handover as they send a message to the zionist entity to expedite the completion of the deal. After their message, they are returned to their place of captivity and will only be released through a prisoner exchange deal, by the orders of the Palestinian resistance.

The zionist entity spent 15 months waging a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip in an effort to defeat the resistance and free the zionist captives, only to ultimately receive them in a state of defeat and humiliation, through the "Flood of the Free" prisoner exchange deal, just as the resistance had said would happen from the beginning of the war.

In the attached video, the zionist captives, Itamar David and Gai Gilboa Dallal sent a message to the zionist entity saying: “The [zionist] military pressure will kill us”

One of them said: “Please, save us so we can return to our homes, I beg you Netanyahu, enough, you have destroyed our lives, you have killed us.” The other added: “Take us back to our homes, that’s what we want.”

The two prisoners continued: “This is unbelievable, I am shocked by this, Netanyahu you have killed us, we are watching our friends go back to their homes after more than 500 days.”

The two prisoners called for the completion of the deal, saying: “Negotiate properly, simply, work to complete the deal and end this matter, the military pressure will kill us all, please, government and prime minister, you started the deal, so continue with it, military pressure is not the solution.”

Meanwhile, the zionist entity continues to obstruct the ceasefire agreement and the prisoner exchange deal, as Netanyahu has suspended the release of the seventh batch of the Palestinian prisoners who were scheduled for liberation.

‼️🇺🇳🇺🇸This is a starting point for peace: The UN Security Council approved the neutral resolution on Ukraine proposed by the United States!

▪️The resolution was adopted in its original, neutral form, without condemning Russia. It calls for an "immediate end to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict."
▪️10 countries voted in favor (USA, China, Russia, Algeria, Guyana, Sierra Leone, South Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Somalia), 5 abstained (Britain, France, Greece, Slovenia, Denmark).
▪️Thus, for the first time since the beginning of the war, the United States, Russia and China voted together for the resolution on Ukraine.
▪️Britain and France could have vetoed it, but they did not.

▪️UN Security Council resolutions, unlike UN General Assembly resolutions (which were also voted for today on Ukraine), are binding on all UN member states.
▪️Russia regards the US resolution on Ukraine adopted by the UN Security Council as a “starting point for further efforts towards a peaceful settlement,” Nebenzya said.

🇬🇧 Elon Musk was shocked to learn that in the UK Army, diversity and inclusion specialists are paid more than service personnel (£12,000 more per year).

Deranged Congressman and part-time local pirate Dan Crenshaw was caught on camera threatening Tucker Carlson’s life

“If I ever meet Tucker Carlson, I’ll f***ing kiII him. I’m not joking.”

Did Tucker steal Dan's hidden treasure chest in the Caribbean?

US politics is never dull these days...
