The UK Supreme Court has confirmed it will hear an appeal by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori challenging the governmentâs proscription of the group as a terrorist organization. The hearing is scheduled for November 4-5.

Ir Amim said that the Israeli Municipality of Jerusalemâs Planning and Building Committee approved the plan that envisages the construction of 2,300 units on approximately 20 hectares (around 200 dunums) in the Gilo colony, while expanding the colony southward toward Route 60, which links Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
It added that the plan involves the expropriation of at least 28 privately-owned dunums under the so-called Absentees‘ Property Law, which the occupation authorities utilize to seize Palestinian property.
The project is part of the broader expansion of the Givat Hamatos and Har Homa colonies. It aims to entrench the geographical separation between East Jerusalem and the southern West Bank, isolate the city of Bethlehem from Jerusalem, and impose new colonial realities on the ground.

The battle to restore the State institutions and eliminate the militias‘ coup isn‘t just the army‘s battle, but it is everybody‘s fight, al-Alimi stressed.
The President emphasized that the current stage requires political parties to reclaim their natural role as forces of enlightenment, mobilization and rallying against threats, to restore respect for the idea of the national state and to reinforce the isolation of militias and their destructive agenda.
The political parties need to make the battle to restore the State institutions a matter for the whole society, not only a government‘s task or issue, al-Alimi noted.
On August 1, 2026, a merchant vessel successfully navigated the Red Sea under the escort of the Italian frigate Bergamini, according to a statement from the European Unionâs naval mission ASPIDES. The protective operation highlights ongoing maritime security efforts in a region currently experiencing significant geopolitical tensions.
A cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah has barely held in recent weeks, just as Israel and Lebanon have worked to implement a separate, U.S.-brokered agreement to end months of fighting. That deal calls for Israel to gradually withdraw from territory in southern Lebanon.
Hamadi says the Basma family, who lived just across a lane from them in a neighborhood called the Nuns‘ Quarter, was killed in an airstrike in March â the parents along with all four of their children. The impact collapsed the house on top of them and two of the children â ages around 8 and 11 â are still under the rubble, she says.
„Now when I look at the neighborhood they are the only ones I can think about,“ she says.
She says in a quiet area full of older people, the family‘s four children brought life to the neighborhood. „They were the ones who made all the noise and activity,“ she says.
Hammadi says she used to drink coffee with the mother, who was in her late 30s. She would talk about waiting for her children to grow up.
„They were wonderful people,“ she says. „Now there‘s no one left from the family.“
GAZA, August 1, 2026 (WAFA) â Despite the ceasefire that went into effect in Gaza on October 11, Israeli breaches of the agreement have continued, with the death toll in the Gaza Strip rising to 73,349, mostly women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression in October 2023.

Israeli Military Police said they are investigating both deaths, which bring the number of active duty IDF troops who have killed themselves this year to at least 16.

The meetings with Trump were expected to give both leaders a chance to push their agendas with the president at a time when U.S. policy towards Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war continues to be in flux.
âDer Zustimmungsfall wird dann relevant, wenn der Bundestag einzelne Regelungen in Kraft setzen will, die im Spannungsfall gelten wĂŒrden, aber den Spannungsfall insgesamt noch nicht ausrufen willâ, sagt Hegemann. FĂŒr diese einzelnen Regeln reicht dann wie bei regulĂ€ren Gesetzen grundsĂ€tzlich eine einfache Mehrheit im Parlament.
Das geplante BND-Gesetz formuliert fĂŒr alle drei FĂ€lle Regeln. Vor allem aber Ă€ndert es den Mechanismus, wie der Zustimmungsfall fĂŒr das BND-Gesetz ausgelöst werden kann. Das soll sich am Zustimmungsfall aus dem Grundgesetz âorientierenâ, aber umgeht dabei das Plenum des Bundestags.
An die Stelle eines regulĂ€ren parlamentarischen Verfahrens soll nĂ€mlich ein Vorschlag der Bundesregierung treten, dem das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremium zustimmen mĂŒsste. Dann könnten einzelne oder alle Regelungen des Gesetzes zum Spannungs- und Verteidigungsfall âfreigeschaltetâ werden. Dass der Bundestag als Ganzes dabei auĂen vor bliebe, hat noch einen weiteren Effekt: âEine Veröffentlichung ist nicht vorgesehen.
The meeting comes as new polling shows that a growing share of the presidentâs base no longer believes the war is worth its economic costs. And Republicans are increasingly resigned to the fact that the war will likely still be hanging over voters in some form when they head to the polls in November.
Curt Mills, executive director of the American Conservative magazine, described the meeting as âDEFCON 1.â
Netanyahu has been working to secure an invitation to the White House for several weeks, according to a US official and an Israeli source, to discuss progress in the Iran war and warn Trump against diplomatic concessions.
Trump had been resistant to meeting, and some White House officials have been frustrated at what they regarded as Israeli attempts to secure a meeting through media leaks â to âwill a meeting into existence,â the US official said
At Trumpâs invitation, Netanyahu flew to Washington on Monday for the service, his office announced. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also plans to attend the Washington funeral, a White House official confirmed.
Both leaders are planning to meet with Trump during their respective visits.
When House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries sent out a recent âdear colleagueâ letter, its second sentence cited âthe position articulated by⊠pro-peace organizations like J Street.â The congressman and J Street were opposing an amendment to block $3.3 billion in military shipments and other aid to Israel.
Jeffries (NY) contended that the measure was âoverly broad.â On the same day, using the same phrase âoverly broad,â J Street issued a statement declaring that âwe support Leader Jeffriesâ decision to oppose the amendment.â
Both Jeffries and J Street respectfully noted that many members of Congress had understandable reasons to back the measure. The next day, July 15, a record 103 Democrats voted in favor of blocking weaponry to Israel.

Israeli settlers carried out attacks on a number of Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank early Sunday, setting fire to two mosques and other properties.
Sundayâs attacks were spurred by clashes that erupted in the village of Tell, in the northern West Bank, where a crowd of Israeli settlers, some armed, approached the Palestinian village Friday.
Villagers came out to confront them, and a standoff followed, with video appearing to show one of the Palestinians grabbing a settlerâs weapon. Palestinian authorities said the settlers provoked the violence, while the Israeli military said both sides fired shots. Four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed.
NNA – Lebanese Army Command said that Israeli forces continue to carry out attacks and violate existing ceasefire understandings and international law through the systematic destruction of homes, shelling, machine-gun fire, land bulldozing, and the burning of olive groves and agricultural land across several areas in southern Lebanon.
In an issued statement by the Army‘s Orientation Directorate on Sunday, it indicated that the Israeli forces have demolished a water facility belonging to the Litani River Authority in Markaba and opened fire near army positions in Kfartebnit, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, disrupting its operations.
This included a media campaign in the Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, The Guardian and latterly CNN; private warnings by David Cameron, then foreign secretary, who told him Britain would defund the ICC and withdraw from the Rome Statute if the warrants were issued; Republican senators who told him: „Target Israel and we will target you“, and being named publicly as a suspect before he had even had the chance to defend himself by the president of the Assembly of State Parties (ASP), Finland‘s Paivi Kaukoranta.
Danon threatened Mamdani with the same fate as Khan. „@NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani, take note: using Israel as a political weapon will not shield you from accountability,“ Danon posted.
