'A political operation': Israeli army raids West Bank as tensions rise

The United Nations has reported that the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has led to the worst economic collapse in Gaza's history, erasing decades of growth and plunging the region into a severe crisis. The humanitarian situation remains dire as essential services and infrastructure have been devastated by the violence.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in an exclusive interview that Iran remains open to negotiations with the US regarding its nuclear program, despite claiming that the US is not eager for talks. He also mentioned an imminent exchange of French prisoners for an Iranian citizen within the next couple of months and asserted Iran's perceived victory in the recent conflict with Israel.

Israel has confirmed that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have returned the body of Dror Or, a hostage from Gaza, amid ongoing tensions following a ceasefire that began six weeks ago. This handover highlights the complex dynamics of hostage negotiations in the region, where two other deceased hostages remain unreturned.

The Israeli military has initiated a significant operation in northern areas of the occupied West Bank, coinciding with a surge in violence since the onset of the Gaza conflict. This operation is distinct from the earlier 'Iron Wall' initiative, which has already displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians in the region.

Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American from Florida, has been detained by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank for nine months without charge. His case is set to be heard in court, amid growing concerns regarding his treatment and the lack of legal proceedings against him.

Displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank has reached unprecedented levels, with Israeli settler violence escalating significantly, leading to widespread fear and unrest among the local population. Reports indicate that tens of thousands have been affected, particularly in areas like the Jenin refugee camp, which has become a focal point of resistance and conflict.

The United Nations has recently endorsed Trump's Gaza plan, raising concerns about the implications of Resolution 2803 for the Palestinian population and international law. This resolution appears to legitimize Israel's ongoing occupation, which many view as a significant shift in the UN's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The United Nations has called for an impartial investigation into Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, which have reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 127 civilians since a ceasefire was declared nearly a year ago. This request follows a recent escalation in hostilities, including the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut by Israeli forces, marking a significant increase in military actions in the region.
