Day 555 of Israel’s Gaza War
Hamas Wants Protests Worldwide
Hamas is pushing for massive demonstrations across the globe, especially in Arab and Muslim countries, to shout down Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. They’re calling it the “Gaza cries out” campaign, slamming what they call “Zionist aggression” and accusing the world of staying silent. In a fiery Telegram post, they’re urging people to hit the streets—protests, sit-ins, the works—to demand an end to the war.
Jordan Busts Alleged Weapons Plot—Lebanon Reacts
Jordan just nabbed 16 people tied to a shady scheme involving rockets, explosives, and even a secret drone factory. The government says it was a major security threat. Over in Lebanon, PM Nawaf Salam quickly called Jordan’s leader to say, “Hey, we’re not letting anyone use Lebanon to mess with our neighbors.” He also offered to help investigate since some suspects might’ve trained there.

Iran Rages at Israel: “This is Genocide”
Tehran’s going scorched-earth in its rhetoric, calling Israel’s attacks in Gaza and the West Bank “war crimes” and “massacres.” Citing UN reports, Iran’s Foreign Ministry says Israel’s choking off aid and flattening cities amounts to genocide—and they’re demanding the UN Security Council step in now to punish those responsible.
