The reaction followed after the Zionist media reported that Israel’s far-right cabinet agreed on Thursday with the proposals of Smotrich against the recognition of a Palestinian state, sanctioning of the officials of the Palestinian Authority and also giving legitimacy to five new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful God
Almighty said: {O you who have believed, if you support God, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.} God Almighty is Truth
In victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters, and in response to the massacres of the Zionist enemy against the sons of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
Our armed forces carried out several qualitative military operations, including a joint military operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq that targeted the Waler oil ship in the Mediterranean Sea with a number of drones. It was on its way to the port of Haifa. The ship was targeted for violating the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.
With the help of God Almighty, the missile force and naval forces carried out a military operation targeting the American ship (Delonix) in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles. The operation resulted in a direct hit on the ship, thanks be to God.
With the help of God Almighty, the missile force of our Yemeni armed forces carried out an operation targeting the ship (Johannes Maersk) in the Mediterranean Sea with a cruise missile, and the operation achieved its goal successfully, thanks be to God.
This ship belongs to Maersk, which is one of the companies that most supports the Zionist entity and is the most violating the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.
The operation was carried out simultaneously with the naval forces carrying out another military operation in the Red Sea against the ship (Ioannis)... The ship was targeted by a number of drone boats for violating the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine, and it was directly hit, thanks to God.
The Yemeni Armed Forces salute all the sons of the struggling Yemeni people for their constant and continuous response to the leader, Mr. Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, “may God protect him,” in the massive popular demonstration in victory for the Palestinian cause and in confirmation of the rejection of the American-British aggression against our country.
The Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of God Almighty, continue to carry out their religious, moral and humanitarian duties in the name of the great Yemeni people and in the name of all the free people of the nation, in support of Palestine and in victory for its struggling people and its valiant resistance. Military operations will not stop until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, the best protector, and the best helper
Long live a free, proud and independent Yemen,
and victory belongs to Yemen and to all the free people of the nation

June 30 Over 9 Years: 13 Martyrs and Injured in Raids on Sa'adah and Al-Dhalea
Yemen: On June 30, over the past nine years, the US-Saudi aggression has targeted citizens, educational facilities, and infrastructure using wheat grains and humanitarian aid as coordinates for airstrikes. The raids resulted in four martyrs, nine injured, the destruction of Wadi Bin Jarad School, Al-Hurriya Educational Complex, the Education Office in Sa'adah, and damage to citizens' homes, the Qa'ataba Security Administration, and a sports club in Al-Dhalea. This caused fear, panic, and displacement among children and women.

In Past Day; US-led Coalition’s Aircraft Violate Syrian Airspace 15 Times
Islam Times - The US-led coalition’s aircraft violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area fifteen times during the past day, Yury Popov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, said Sunday.
"Aircraft of the so-called international anti-terrorist coalition led by the United States continues to create dangerous situation that may cause air accident or incidents and escalate the situation in Syria’s airspace," he said.
"Three pairs of the coalition’s F-15, a pair of Rafale fighter jets, three pairs of A-10 Thunderbolt attack bombers, as well as an MS-12W electronic reconnaissance plane violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area, across which international air routes run, 15 times during the day," TASS quoted him as saying.
Defenders of the Shrine: Rise of Anti-terror Fighters in Syria
An overview of rise of defenders of shrine
After eruption of the Syrian home conflict and involvement of the takfiri terrorists, the Syrian government engaged in an unwanted war against the takfiri terrorists. For example, Al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, in May 2013 exhumed the tomb of prominent seventh century Shiite commander Hujr Ibn Adi and threatened to destroy the shrine of Hazrat Zaynab, the daughter of the first Shiite Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, in Damascus.
As the terrorism war unfolded, the shrines of Shiite imams and prominent figures, especially Hazrat Zaynab, were exposed to danger of destruction by takfiris. At this time, the defenders of the shrine began to rise, specifically from January 2013.

Bagheri remembers victims of Sardasht chemical bombing
While honoring the memory of the martyrs of service, late President Ebrahim Raeisi, late Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, and their companions, I would like to pay respect wholeheartedly to the martyrs of the chemical attacks, especially the martyrs of the cowardly chemical attack on the city of Sardasht by Iraq’s former Ba’athist regime, and ask God the Almighty to grant health and well-being to the honorable chemical veterans, who patiently endure the ordeal caused by the use of these inhumane weapons.
Choosing the anniversary of the chemical bombing of Sardasht as the National Day of Combating Chemical and Biological Weapons is meant to explain the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran is both the biggest victim of the widespread use of chemical arms in contemporary history and is firmly resolved to oppose such armaments. The extent of the Saddam regime's chemical attacks during the Iraqi imposed war that took place with the backing of some Western powers and the deadly silence of international organizations was such that no similar example can be found in contemporary history.

This is How US Responded to Israel’s Use of Wounded Palestinian in Jenin as Human Shield
In yet another demonstration of US double standards, a viral video of Israeli soldiers using a wounded Palestinian as a human shield in Jenin forced the US State Department to issue a condemnation.
But unlike the condemnation that they issued for the Palestinian group Hamas when they were accused of this very crime, the United States urged Israel to investigate itself, which, logic implies, it won't.
One of the most prominent allegations against armed groups in Gaza, which has been used to justify Israel's murder of Palestinian civilians, is that they use human shields.
Despite the fact that these claims, which are routinely repeated during every war on Gaza, investigations by human rights groups have never found a single case in which Hamas has used a human shield.
On the contrary, Israel has been repeatedly found to have used Palestinian civilians as human shields.
'Genocide denial': US Congress passes amendment denying Gaza death toll (Normalizing Genocide💡)
The majority of members of the US Congress, including more than 60 Democrats, have voted in favour of an amendment that would bar the State Department from using the Gaza health ministry's count for the death toll in Gaza.
The vote pushes forward a piece of legislation that, if it passes, could further silence the discussion within the US government about the devastating impact that Israel's war on Gaza has had on the enclave's Palestinian population.
The amendment, a part of the State Department's annual appropriations bill, passed on Thursday with a 269-144 vote. Sixty-two Democrats joined the vote, while only two Republicans did not vote in favour of it.

Italy's Meloni criticizes EU's closed selection of leaders, demands recognition for rightward shift
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized the lack of transparency in selecting top EU positions.Meloni’s remarks came a day after centrist EU leaders endorsed Ursula von der Leyen, António Costa, and Kaja Kallas for senior roles in the EU's main institutions. She stated that it ignores the shift to the right seen in the recent European Parliament elections where Meloni's party, the European Conservatives and Reformists, gained seats.
Meloni argued for this rightward shift to be mirrored in EU decision-making, highlighting her party's rise as the third largest in Parliament.
Despite her party's success in the elections, the leadership positions remain controlled by the traditional major groups: the center-right European People's Party, the center-left Socialists, and the centrist Renew Europe.
Reports indicate that the key EU leadership roles were decided by leaders from six countries, including Greece, Poland, Spain, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.

NATO/EU Aggression Plunges Germany Into Crisis. “Deindustrialization” (Nuland Fk the EU)
NATO/EU’s attack on Russian gas supplies to Europe, the US bombing of the Nordstream pipelines to Germany and trade sanctions against Russia have removed an important German export market and greatly increased the energy costs for German industry which for decades has relied on consistent and reasonably priced energy for its critical industries – chemicals, cars, engineering.
Add to this a big rise in borrowing costs and a fanatical green agenda it is no surprise that the Federal Statistical Office in Wiesbaden announced that nearly a quarter (23.8%) more companies filed for insolvency in July 2023 compared to the same month last year. Steep Surge in Bankruptcies.
When Germany suffers this much, the EU as a whole suffers as well and France’s industrial production has also collapsed:
