In de VS zullen veel dingen er met het handelsakkoord tussen de Europese Unie en de Verenigde Staten uiteindelijk duurder op worden, zegt correspondent Jan Postma – en de eerste signalen daarvan zijn nu al te merken. Voorlopig lijken bedrijven die klappen nog te kunnen opvangen en niet door te voeren in de prijzen. 'Dat geldt voor producten van veel grote bedrijven: de Amerikaanse consument merkt het niet direct – in ieder geval nog niet enorm. Ik denk ook dat Amerikanen een beetje murw zijn van alle verhalen dat het duurder gaat worden.' Volgens Europaverslaggever Stefan de Vries is Europa toch enigszins met de pootjes omhoog op de rug gaan liggen. 'Je hoort Von der Leyen spreken over zekerheid en voorspelbaarheid, maar ik hoor vooral wensdenken: termen als zekerheid en voorspelbaarheid lijken juist absoluut niet meer voor te komen in de verhouding met de VS. Deze overeenkomst is ons door de strot geduwd, uit angst voor nog ergere heffingen. Die 15 procent is veel en veel meer dan de 2,5 tot 5 procent die de VS altijd al op Europese goederen heeft geheven.' Israël heeft dit weekend een militaire 'tactische pauze' van tien uur per dag ingevoerd in Gaza-Stad, Deir al‑Balah en Al‑Mawasi om humanitaire hulp mogelijk te maken. Tegelijk zijn hulpvrachtwagens vanuit Egypte Gaza binnengetrokken, terwijl Jordanië en de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten voedseldroppings uitvoerden. Maar het bloedvergieten stopt daarmee niet: bij een andere Israëlische aanval op een huis bij Khan Younis zouden volgens het netwerk zeker twintig doden en vermisten zijn, zegt correspondent Ralph Dekkers.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2yrtuc4x Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Gaza: Israeli forces invade Deir al-Balah. Gaza: ionradh á dhéanamh ag fórsaí Iosrael ar Deir al-Balah. It is reported that Israeli military forces have been invading a specific area in the city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza since early morning. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil ionradh á dhéanamh ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ó mhoch maidine ar cheantar faoi leith i gcathair Deir al-Balah i lár Gaza. Before they began the siege, the Israelis ordered the thousands of Palestinians living in that particular area to leave immediately. Sular chuir siad tús leis an slad, d'ordaigh na hIosraelaigh do na mílte míle Palaistíneach atá ina gcónaí sa cheantar áirithe sin an áit a thréigean gan mhoill. It is estimated that between 50,000 and 80,000 people are living in the area, many of whom are refugees from Rafah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and their only shelter is tents and huts thrown together in destitution. Meastar idir 50,000 agus 80,000 duine a bheith ag cur fúthu sa cheantar, ar dídeanaithe as Rafah agus Khan Younis i ndeisceart Gaza cuid mhór acu agus gan d'fhothain acu ach pubaill agus brácaí a caitheadh le chéile faoi dhithneas. It is reported that these people are now heading south again, hoping to find temporary refuge in the al-Mawasi area, a piece of land near Khan Younis that the Israelis have turned into a prison and where thousands of Palestinian refugees are huddled. Tuairiscítear gur ag tabhairt aghaidh ó dheas arís atá na daoine sin anois agus súil acu tearmann sealadach a fháil i gceantar al-Mawasi, geadán talaimh in aice le Khan Younis atá iompaithe ina chró ag na hIosraelaigh agus a bhfuil na mílte ainniseoirí Palaistíneacha cuachta acu ann. The Israelis appear to intend to build a military highway around Deir al-Balah to separate the city from the rest of central Gaza, as they have already done in other parts of the enclave. Is cosúil go bhfuil rún ag na hIosraelaigh mórbhealach míleata a thógáil thart ar Deir al-Balah leis an gcathair a dheighilt ón gcuid eile de lár Gaza, mar atá déanta acu in áiteanna eile san iamhchríoch cheana.

Daily News Brief by TRT World

Israel bombs Syria, kills 3, wounds dozens "At least three people have been killed and 34 others wounded as Israel launched a wave of air strikes on the Syrian capital. Israel carried out strikes on the General Staff Complex and the Presidential Palace, known as Qasr al-Shaab, in Damascus. The Israeli army confirmed the air strikes and called the attack on the Presidential Palace a “warning strike.” Israeli fighter jets also staged several air strikes on the southwestern province of Daraa and Qatana city in the Damascus countryside." Israel kills scores in Gaza including aid-seeking Palestinians "Israel has killed at least 68 people in Gaza on Wednesday, including several starving Palestinians who suffocated from tear gas while waiting at US-backed, so-called aid sites in the hope of getting some food. The killings took place in Khan Younis, Nuseirat refugee camp, Gaza City, Jabalia, Deir al Balah and Netzarim Corridor." "Türkiye slams Israeli strikes on Damascus" Türkiye's Foreign Ministry has condemned recent Israeli air strikes targeting central Damascus, calling them a deliberate attempt to undermine Syria's efforts toward peace, stability, and security. The ministry said the latest attack by Israel on Damascus, following its previous military interventions in southern Syria, constitutes an act of sabotage against Syria's attempts to restore peace and order. Ankara warned that such actions threaten to derail a rare opportunity for the war-torn country to move toward normalisation." Illegal Israeli settlers seize control of historic Ibrahimi Mosque "Israeli authorities have stripped the Palestinian-run Hebron municipality of administrative powers over the Ibrahimi Mosque and transferred them to a council of illegal Jewish settlers. Located in the Old City of Hebron, which is under Israeli occupation, the Ibrahimi Mosque is surrounded by approximately 400 illegal Israeli settlers protected by about 1,500 Israeli soldiers. The mosque complex is believed by Abrahamic religions to hold the remains of Prophet Abraham and his family." Türkiye's Fidan denounces Israel's genocide in Gaza " Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has condemned Israel's genocide in Gaza in strong terms during an address to the United Nations Security Council, saying the war has turned the Palestinian enclave into a ""concentration camp"" and accused Israel of systematically targeting civilians. Fidan said over 2 million people are enduring unspeakable suffering in Gaza. He also cited Israel's forced mass displacement, widespread destruction, and the deliberate blocking of humanitarian aid in the besieged enclave."

Daily News Brief by TRT World

Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues amid raids in occupied West Bank "Israel has killed over 50 Palestinians across besieged Gaza on Tuesday. The attacks took place in Rafah, Gaza City, Jabalia and Khan Younis. In occupied West Bank Israeli forces abducted at least 35 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, in a series of overnight raids. The arrests took place in the cities of Nablus, Salfit, Qalqilya, Jenin, Tulkarem, Alkhalil, and Bethlehem, according to a joint statement from the Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society," "UN Rapporteur urges global action against Israel to stop Gaza genocide " "The United Nations' special rapporteur for besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank has said that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop the ""genocide"" in the blockaded enclave. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia to discuss the Israeli genocide in Gaza and ways that nations can try to stop Israel's carnage. Albanese said the Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal." "US court blocks move to end protected status for Afghans " "A US federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals living in the country. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay on the termination order on Monday, which was set to take effect July 15. More than 82,000 Afghans were evacuated to the US following the Taliban's takeover in 2021 after the US' chaotic withdrawal. " US launches probe into Brazil's trade practices "The United States has launched an investigation into Brazil's trade practices, escalating tensions between the two countries and potentially laying the groundwork for punitive tariffs on South America's largest economy. The probe, announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative will assess whether Brazil's policies are ""unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict US commerce.""" July 15 defeated coup attempt a ‘critical turning point' in Türkiye's history: Erdogan " Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the defeated July 15 coup attempt in 2016 marked one of the most critical turning points in Türkiye's history, Speaking at the commemoration ceremony for July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day at parliament in Ankara Erdogan said the coup attempt was a tough test that the state and the nation overcame with pride. Erdogan expressed gratitude to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the veterans who defended the nation, the citizens who filled the streets to resist the coup attempt, and the millions abroad who supported Türkiye during that critical night."

Daily News Brief by TRT World

"Israeli strikes have killed nearly 600 in Iran — US-based group " "Israeli strikes have killed at least 585 people across Iran and wounded 1,326 others, a human rights group has claimed. The Washington-based group has claimed to have identified 239 of the dead as civilians and 126 as security personnel. Iran's last update, issued on Monday however puts the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded. " Won't kill Iran's supreme leader — at least 'for now': Trump "US President Donald Trump has dramatically stepped up his rhetoric against Iran's supreme leader, saying on social media that the United States knows where Ali Khamenei is located but will not kill him ""for now."" In another post, Trump also appeared to demand Iran's ""unconditional surrender!"" as he fueled questions about whether the United States would join Israel's attacks on Tehran's leadership and nuclear facilities. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that they know exactly where Supreme Leader is hiding, and that he is an easy target, but is safe there, but they are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now." "Israel kills dozens of Palestinians, wounds hundreds in food line " "Israel has killed over 30 desperate Palestinians seeking aid in northwest of Gaza City. Israeli occupation soldiers fired at the desperate crowds of Palestinians seeking aid yesterday as they gathered at an aid distribution point to the northwest of the city, Earlier, Israeli forces had fired at Palestinians seeking food aid in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza with tank shells, machine guns and drones, killing more than 60 civilians and wounding approximately 200 others. " China: Trump 'adding fuel to fire' in Iran-Israel conflict "China has decried US President Donald Trump's call to Iranians to evacuate the capital Tehran as ""adding fuel to the fire"" amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said adding fuel to the fire, making threats, and exerting pressure will not help ease the situation, it will only intensify contradictions and widen the conflict." Türkiye Parliament condemns Israel's genocide in Gaza and attacks on Iran "Türkiye's Parliament has unanimously adopted a motion condemning Israel's ongoing genocide on Gaza, its broader regional actions, and ongoing attacks targeting Iran. In a statement, published in the Official Gazette, the lawmakers said the Israeli regime has committed ""crimes against humanity"" through decades of occupation, systemic violence, and recent bombardments that killed thousands in Gaza. They also denounced Israeli attacks on Iran, describing them as ""provocative and threatening"" and warning they risk dragging the region into wider war."

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Two Israeli soldiers were killed fighting in separate incidents in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Monday. Cpt. Tal Movshovitz, 28, from Re’ut, was killed by an explosive device planted in a building.Hours later, Staff Sgt. Naveh Leshem, 20, from Nokdim, was killed, and 10 other soldiers were wounded. Berman addresses the rumors of progress towards a negotiated deal to get the hostages out and a ceasefire in the Strip. What is happening in the war and what has changed? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to target Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Instead, he suggested that it would be a surefire way to “end the conflict” with the Islamic Republic. Berman updates us on other statements from the prime minister -- in English and Hebrew. Downtown Tehran appears to be emptying out, with many shops closed, including in the city’s ancient Grand Bazaar, perhaps in light of US President Donald Trump’s impromptu evacuation call for the entire city of Tehran Monday night, citing what he said was the country’s rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development, as the conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic appeared poised for further escalation. Berman explains what happened in the G7 and where the war could be turning. French authorities erected black partition walls around Israeli company exhibits displaying offensive weapons systems at the Paris Air Show overnight Sunday, hours before the event opened at Le Bourget Airport. Berman weighs in, explaining the nuance of the situation -- and why this is hardly the first time Israel is singled out at this show.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

Four more soldiers were declared dead on Friday morning after a booby trapped building exploded in the southern Gaza Strip. The slain soldiers were Sgt. First Class Tom Rotstein, Staff Sgt. Uri Yhonatan Cohen, Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver. Fabian weighs in on the challenges facing troops on the ground as Operation Gideon's Chariots continues. The leader of a small Gaza terror group responsible for the October 7, 2023, abductions and eventual murders of several hostages -- including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir -- was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Saturday, the military said. Another senior member was killed in a separate strike in the city. Fabian explains what the Mujahideen Brigades group is and other hostages who were murdered by it. The body of slain hostage Nattapong Pinta, who Hamas-led terrorists abducted on October 7, 2023, was recovered in a joint Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet operation in the southern Gaza Strip, officials announced Saturday morning.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who recently returned from spending the month of March, 2025, in Gaza as a trauma and critical care surgeon. The March trip was Feroze's second medical mission to Gaza in the last year. Peter and Feroze discuss why children in Gaza are shot in the head, why Gaza's medical workers expect to die, and what it's like to try to bring medical supplies into Gaza. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon, having worked most extensively in Palestine, but also in Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. He most recently volunteered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza from March 25-April 8, 2024 with the World Health Organization, and again from March 3-April 1, 2025 with American NGO MedGlobal. Feroze has written and spoken extensively about surgical humanitarian work, the United States' role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the political consequences of medical relief work. He approaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a secular American and as a humanitarian physician. Feroze can be followed on Twitter/X @FerozeSidhwa and Instagram/Threads @FSidhwa.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Released hostage Edan Alexander is back in his family's embrace in Israel and is recovering from his 584 days in Hamas captivity. We hear what we know so far about Alexander's health and the conditions in which he was kept. A few hours after the final living US-Israeli hostage was released by his Hamas captors, the IDF says that its forces carried out a “targeted attack” on “key” Hamas fighters who were operating a command center in the Nasser Hospital compound in Khan Younis. Among those reported killed is Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslaiah, who on October 7 was freelancing for the Associated Press and invaded Israel with the terrorists and photographed them entering Kibbutz Nir Oz, where dozens of civilians were massacred. Was he the target of the airstrike? Nour Bitawi, a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative who Israeli authorities say was planning imminent terror attacks, was killed by troops Friday in the West Bank city of Nablus. Fabian explains who Bitawi was and how significant this mission could be. The Mossad spy agency and the Israel Defense Forces recovered the remains of Sgt. First Class Zvi Feldman, who went missing in the First Lebanon War’s battle of Sultan Yacoub in 1982. The battle, nearly 43 years ago, claimed the lives of 21 Israeli servicemen, and more than 30 were injured during it. Feldman, a tank soldier, went missing during the battle along with Sgt. First Class Yehuda Katz and Sgt. First Class Zachary Baumel. Baumel’s remains were recovered and returned to Israel in 2019.Fabian describes how the body of Feldman was recently recovered from “the heart of Syria” in a special operation.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday, the family of Edan Alexander approved the publication of a Hamas propaganda video released Saturday, which showed signs of life from the US-Israeli hostage soldier who has been held by the terror group since he was kidnapped on October 7, 2023. Born in Tel Aviv, Alexander grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey. He returned to Israel to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces after graduating from high school in 2022. Fabian fills us in and we hear a segment of the video. This morning, we learned that over 1,600 former IDF paratroopers and infantry soldiers signed a letter demanding the government reach a deal to bring the hostages home, even if it means ending the war. We discuss this latest appeal, which adds to a growing wave of public pressure to end the ongoing war following similar letters from IDF reservist doctors, the Talpiot program, former 8200 intelligence unit members, ex-Mossad members, navy reservists, and reservist air force personnel. We focus on the air force letter, which has brought the most media attention, and hear what steps -- if any -- the IDF is taking to stem this tide. The Israel Defense Forces announced at noon Saturday that it had completed the capture of the Morag Corridor in the southern Gaza Strip, cutting off the city of Rafah from Khan Younis. Fabian explains how this is part of a greater plan to widen the new border buffer zone. Yesterday, the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City, after telling staff and patients to evacuate ahead of the overnight attack, one of a series of strikes that Israel said were targeting Hamas operational centers. No casualties were reported in the hospital strike, with Israel issuing a warning to evacuate the facility before the attack. We learn where civilians are meant to go during such airstrikes, and in general. Air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early on Sunday evening. The Houthis claimed to have fired two missiles in the attack, one targeting the Sdot Micha Airbase — where, according to foreign reports, Israel holds nuclear-capable Jericho missiles — and the other aimed at Ben Gurion Airport. Fabian weighs in. On Friday, the IDF confirmed that it participated in a just-completed annual aerial exercise hosted by Greece, which this year included the participation of Qatar -- along with 11 other countries. We ask Fabian how significant this joint exercise is. Please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog for more updates.
