The Campaign Against Iran and Regional Tensions

Trump Rejects the Iranian Proposal: US President Donald Trump strongly rejected Iran's response to the ceasefire outline, defining it as "unacceptable". Trump and Netanyahu clarify that the campaign is not over and that the supreme goal is the removal of enriched uranium from Iran. Russian President Putin claimed that the US backtracked on an agreement to transfer the uranium to Russia.

Secret Israeli Base in Iraq: A "Wall Street Journal" investigation revealed that Israel operated a secret air and logistics base in the Iraqi desert during the campaign against Iran.

Maritime Escalation and Threats: Iranian oil tankers were documented catching fire in the Arabian Sea, apparently after attempting to break the American naval blockade. At the same time, the Revolutionary Guards threaten to damage submarine internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz and collect "protection money".

Infrastructure and Internal Repression in Iran: Reports of heavy damage to gas infrastructure in Iran due to strikes, alongside a wave of arrests, torture, and violent repression of protesters by the regime.

Southern Lebanon: The IDF carried out a widespread wave of strikes in southern Lebanon, including in the Nabatieh and Bint Jbeil areas. Simultaneously, several infiltrations of hostile aircraft and rockets were recorded towards the conflict line and the Upper Galilee. The IDF is dealing with the threat of explosive drones through tactical adjustments, such as steel nets.

The Gaza Strip and the Rehabilitation of Hamas: Despite reports of advanced contacts for the entry of a technocratic committee to manage the Strip and a 30-day truce, a secret intelligence document reveals that Hamas is working vigorously to rehabilitate its power – recruiting terrorists, manufacturing explosive devices, and gathering intelligence on the IDF. Meanwhile, the IDF eliminated Wissam Abd al-Hadi, head of the Hamas investigations department in the area, in Khan Yunis.

A Symbol of Revival: A Golani officer who was injured in the Strip married his chosen one in Kibbutz Nahal Oz – the first wedding in the kibbutz since October 7.

Storm Over the Mossad Chief's Appointment: Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara demanded that the High Court of Justice disqualify the appointment of Roman Goffman as head of the Mossad due to flaws in integrity (the "Almakias Affair"). The move drew harsh criticism from Netanyahu and his supporters, who accused her of harming state security.

Responsibility for the October 7 Failure: Minister Miki Zohar caused a storm when he claimed that the planning for the failure began due to the weakness of the Bennett-Lapid government. This drew a furious response from Naftali Bennett, who demanded a state commission of inquiry. At the same time, bereaved parents burst into a High Court of Justice hearing dealing with the delay of the State Comptroller's reports on the failure.

Storm in the Elections Committee: The appointment of Adv. Dean Livne as acting Director General of the Elections Committee drew mixed reactions. The opposition welcomed it, while right-wing elements attacked his ties to left-wing NGOs. In addition, there are reports of a crisis and a murky atmosphere among the committee's senior officials.

The Summer Session Opens: The Knesset returned from recess with dramatic security legislation on the agenda, and the approval of the prosecution of Nukhba terrorists. In addition, the Ministerial Committee approved a law to change the appointments system in the civil service despite the Attorney General's opposition.

Crime: Indictments were filed against 16 minors for their involvement in the murder of the late Yamano Zalka on the night of Independence Day. On the other hand, the victim's family protests the relatively lenient indictment clauses.

Health and Safety: The Ministry of Health issued a measles warning following a patient's stay at the 'Dan' Hotel in Eilat. On Route 4711 near Elad, a fatal car accident occurred that claimed a human life, and at a clinic in Rahat, a seriously injured person from a violent incident was treated.

Economy: A bill to subsidize mortgages suffered harsh criticism from liberal economic figures, who defined it as populism that punishes responsible taxpayers.

North Korea Nuclearizes: The country updated its constitution so that it would automatically launch nuclear weapons if Kim Jong Un is assassinated, against the backdrop of international assassinations carried out by the US in Venezuela and Iran.

France: French President Macron declared in the Egyptian Parliament that Arabic is the second most spoken language in his country, a statement that caused a stir.

Greece: The Greek Minister of Defense announced a revolution in the military, which includes training all soldiers to operate drones and anti-UAV systems to deal with the Turkish threat.
