Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called Tuesday for the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program following an Iranian missile attack on Tel Aviv.
“Israel has now its greatest opportunity in 50 years, to change the face of the Middle East,” Bennett said on his X account.
“We must act ‘now’ to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, its central energy facilities, and to fatally cripple this terrorist regime.”

Israel is vowing that Iran will face "consequences" for a barrage of about 200 missiles Tehran fired at Israel on Tuesday — but said joint air defenses with the United States had been largely effective in intercepting the attack.
Speaking at a televised address several hours after the attack, Netanyahu said Iran had made a "big mistake" and will "pay for it," adding: “Those who attack us; we attack them.”

At least 20 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military incursion into eastern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, medical sources said Wednesday.
Israeli forces staged the surprise incursion under heavy bombardment, shelling dozens of homes, according to witnesses.
Residents managed to recover the bodies of 20 people after Israeli forces withdrew from the area and they were transferred to Gaza European Hospital, medical sources said.

Osmakligt av Dadgostar med Kamala Harris-keps. Nooshi Dadgostar poserade på Instagram med en Kamala Harris-keps. Det är djup osmakligt med tanke på USA:s stöd för folkmordet i Gaza såväl som deras stöd till angreppet på och invasionen av Libanon.

This now part of our daily morning routine. We have a walk, she runs around in the park, then lies on the ground and sometimes roll around in dirt.

Unknown parent • • •It's unbelievable. The UK should better get their economy back on track (after the Brexit debacle) and look to help “their people” who really need help, rather than interfering in the Middle East.
