Clashes and Tensions: The Latest Developments in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Recent headlines highlight the ongoing clashes and tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Russian President Putin expresses support for Palestinian independence, while Iran vows retaliation for the death of a Hamas leader.

Hamas calls for ceasefire negotiations, protests in the UK demand an end to arms sales to Israel, and Hamas' armed wing claims casualties in Gaza. US intelligence warns of a potential significant attack by Iran and its proxies against Israel.

Amidst the conflict, Hamas seeks international solidarity for the Palestinian people, while Israeli military strikes continue to result in civilian casualties. President Biden emphasizes that a ceasefire in Gaza could prevent Iran from attacking Israel.

The situation in the Middle East is further complicated by discussions between Putin and Abbas, as well as meetings between Palestinian leader Abbas and Turkish President Erdogan. The conflict escalates with new demands from Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu, which risk scuttling ceasefire negotiations.

Hardliner Ben-Gvir's actions in Jerusalem spark anger, and tension builds as time runs out to save democracy campaigner Jimmy Lai.
