Eurovision of spies: Europe ranks its top intelligence agencies, reveals what it thinks of Mossad
The agencies were assessed in three main areas: recruiting âmolesâ and penetrating centers of power; assassination and sabotage operations, including operations such as Israelâs pager attack and Ukraineâs Operation Spiderweb; and intelligence collection, cyber operations and access to encrypted communications.
âI had not imagined that relations between the agencies were much more intense than the official relations between the countries,â a senior Swiss diplomatic figure told the magazine. âAn effective intelligence agency gives a country power no less significant than nuclear weapons.â
Can Netanyahu say just what he likes?
(October 25, 2015)
A political consultant once related how he lunched with Benjamin Netanyahu, who ordered a hamburger with fries. He was not supposed to be eating such foods â doctorâs orders. As they were finishing up, Bibiâs wife, Sarah, came in, saw the evidence and began to see red. Netanyahu, all righteous indignation, looked her straight in the eye and said he had eaten no such hamburger. The storyteller said he was convinced at that moment that Netanyahu himself believed it.
If apocryphal, it is definitely in character. Netanyahu regularly embraces bad ideas or even lies so totally that he convinces himself of their rightness. Others start to believe them too. His outlandish idea, uttered in a speech, was that Hitler would have been happy with just expelling Jews if a Palestinian, the then grand mufti of Jerusalem, had not suggested annihilation instead.
India to Israel and back: How a fake IRGC quote on nuclear weapons reached Netanyahuâs speech
While Ynet could not determine whether Netanyahu or his inner circle directed the circulation of Vahidi‘s alleged quote, the investigation pointed „to a series of familiar markers of disinformation distribution“.
It said that Netanyahu had faced similar accusations in the past.
In September 2024, Netanyahuâs office allegedly provided the UK-based Jewish Chronicle and Germany-based Bild newspaper with false information claiming that Hamas intended to smuggle Israeli captives through the Rafah area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt to Iran.
Two Netanyahu aides are also under investigation over allegations that classified documents were leaked to influence Israeli public opinion about military operations in Rafah.
Israeli journalist exposes how fabricated Iranian nuclear quote became ânewsâ
In a piece published in Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on August 7, Bergman detailed how the alleged remarks by Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), were amplified by Israeli media, Israeli political figures and US officials before eventually returning to India as a report attributed to the âIsraeli mediaâ.

CAIR Renews Call on Congress to Demand Israel Release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya After Torture Reportedly Causes Broken Ribs
(August 5, 2026)
âDr. Abu Safiya has been in Israeli captivity since December 2024. In that time, he has been subjected to repeated acts of torture causing serious injuries. Dr. Abu Safiyaâs only crime was treating the thousands of Palestinians maimed by Israelâs genocidal assault on Gaza. We call on all members of Congress to demand his immediate release from captivity and hold the Israeli government accountable for its treatment of him.â
CAIR has previously called for Dr. Abu Safiyaâs release.
Gaza health chief urges action to âsaveâ Dr Abu Safia before itâs too late
Fears mount for life of Hussam Abu Safia detained by Israel amid reports of torture and lack of medical care.
I Saw Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Save Lives. Now Israel Is Holding Him Hostage.
I first met Abu Safiya at the beginning of February 2024 when I visited Kamal Adwan Hospital. I entered the pediatric intensive care unit, where several premature babies were receiving treatment. Their health conditions were critical, and they were suffering from malnutrition.
I saw Abu Safiya moving between the hospital departments. He appeared anxious and exhausted as he asked one of the nurses to search for formula specifically needed for premature infants…..
Houthi attacks kill 11 in Yemen and target Saudi refinery
Strikes by Yemen‘s Houthis on Sunday killed at least 11 people, a medical source in the Yemeni port city of Mokha has told AFP, after an earlier drone salvo targeted a Saudi oil refinery on the Red Sea coast.
A years-long truce in Yemen‘s civil war between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed internationally recognised government appeared to collapse last month.
Iraqi factions to surrender weapons to PMF by Sept. 30
Iraqi political leaders agreed on a mechanism for armed factions to hand over their weapons to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which would register and store the arms under state supervision, a source in the leading Shiite Coordination Framework told Shafaq News on Sunday.
Under the agreement, the PMF âa state security organization comprising mostly Shiite armed factionsâ would take custody of the weapons, document their types and storage locations, and oversee any subsequent movement of arms or personnel under orders from the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Iraqi Prime Minister Stresses End of US Coalition Mission on September 30
In a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi emphasized that regional issues should be resolved through dialogue, while recalling the end date of the US coalition mission in Iraq.
He also announced September 30 as the final deadline for the withdrawal of US coalition forces from Iraq.
Ukraine steht ohne Luftabwehr da
Wie Simplicius76 bereits am 7. Juli 2026 detailliert ausfĂŒhrte, produziert Lockheed Martin derzeit rund 650 PAC-3-Abfangraketen pro Jahr â fĂŒr die gesamte Welt. Das sind lĂ€cherliche 54 StĂŒck pro Monat. Die Ukraine allein brĂ€uchte ein Vielfaches davon, denn doktrinĂ€r werden pro anfliegender Rakete mindestens zwei, oft vier oder gar sechs Interceptoren abgefeuert.
(…)
Die Lieferkette fĂŒr eine einzelne PAC-3 umfasst ĂŒber 400 Zulieferbetriebe. Die Endmontage allein dauert sechs Wochen. Die Gesamtvorlaufzeit liegt bei mehr als zwei Jahren. Das ist kein Produktionssystem â das ist ein bĂŒrokratisches Monster, das fĂŒr einen kurzen, intensiven Konflikt völlig ungeeignet ist.
VerschÀrfend kommt hinzu: Die USA haben im MÀrz 2026 ihren eigenen Krieg gegen den Iran begonnen und brauchen ihre Patriot-BestÀnde nun selbst.
Trump Threatens âLeakersâ With Jail Time Over Reports About Munitions Shortages
(August 6, 2026)
Media reports have also said that the US has used up nearly all of its ATACMS missiles and Precision-Strike Missiles, which were both used extensively in strikes on Iran.
Trump also responded to a report from The Washington Post that said he lashed out at US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the munitions shortages, which one source told the outlet was part of the reason why Trump held off on his threats to dramatically escalate the war.
Sources told the Post that on the sidelines of a recent cabinet meeting at Camp David, Trump vented his frustration at Hegseth over the munitions shortages. The report said that Hegseth then blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for both the shortages and for failing to ensure Trump was informed about the issue.
Renewed Iran War Would Test Diminished Interceptor Inventories
(July 27, 2026)
Note: Estimated inventories today account for additional interceptor use and new deliveries since the April 8 ceasefire. THAAD deliveries during the ceasefire outpaced estimated use over the same period, resulting in higher inventories today than in April. Patriot calculations include the latest MSE variant and PAC-3s. Several hundred PAC-2s, not represented in the chart, are estimated to remain in the U.S. inventory.

Netanyahu believes he can âcontinue to act with impunityâ
Xavier Abu Eid, a political analyst and former adviser to the Palestinian negotiations team, says the Board of Peace and Resolution 2803 of the UN Security Council were accepted late last year because it was argued at that time that they were the only way to end the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
âBut it was very clear from the very beginning that the 20-point plan of President Trump and the 15-point disarmament and implementation plan that followed were more about meeting Israeli interests than the Palestinian right to self-determination,â he said.
Israel rejects Trumpâs Gaza peace plan, saying no withdrawal until Hamas disarms
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country has rejected the latest US-backed peace plan for Gaza, demanding the full disarmament of Hamas before any Israeli forces withdraw.
The comments come more than a week after Trump announced a breakthrough in negotiations, with his Board of Peace (BoP) issuing a new 15-point plan aimed at securing lasting peace in the territory
