The talks did not follow the traditional channels used in negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the years, which involved Egypt, Qatar, or another intermediary. Instead, the parties spoke directly.

(photo credit: JERUSALEM MUNICIPALITY) Iran's regime will fall through a mix of operations, economic pressure, and protests by its own people, recently retired Mossad chief David Barnea said in his first speech since stepping down on June 1. In a speech to the Jerusalem Municipality, where he received an award on behalf of the Mossad, Barnea supported the Trump administration's latest economic pressure moves against the Islamic Republic. He said that it was clear these were needed, but that they would be insufficient alone and would require the use of force as well, although he did not specify whether that force would require another round of massive airstrikes or whether a covert sabotage campaign would be sufficient. "The decision to place the most severe sanctions on Iran was a correct and praiseworthy decision. But the sanctions are just another stage. ...

  Iran has executed over 500 people so far this year after a new surge in hangings in recent days, despite President Trump urging the Islamic Republic regime to halt executions, a rights group said Thursday. At least 511 people have been executed so far in 2026, according to Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights, including at least 29 people in connection with anti-government protests in January. At least 16 women are among those executed and at least 13 "political prisoners" affiliated with banned opposition groups, it said. Activists accuse Iran of using capital punishment as a means to intimidate the population in the wake of the protests and the war against the United States and Israel that erupted on February 28. "All executions, regardless of the charges, have a clear domestic purpose - to create fear and prevent new protests," IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam told AFP. "We are very concerned that this trend could worsen in the coming months." Sin...

"The strikes were carried out in response to the Hezbollah terrorist organization's actions overnight (Thursday) against IDF soldiers operating in the Ali-Taher Ridge within the Security Zone, in which they launched two explosive drones toward IDF soldiers. No IDF injuries were reported," the IDF said. Despite a ceasefire brokered by the U.S., Israel has continued launching attacks on Hezbollah, always labeling them responses...
