The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza continues to provoke global outrage, including from within the Jewish community in the United States.
Jewish Voice for Peace, a prominent advocacy group, issued a powerful statement denouncing Washington's role in the conflict. 'We demand an end to our government's complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land,' the group declared, also calling for a halt to U.S. weapons transfers to Israel.
The group emphasized that over two million Palestinians in Gaza remain under siege, suffering daily from Israel's military campaign and the blockade.

Iran hints at exporting enriched uranium
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, said Saturday that Tehran is open to transferring its stockpile of enriched uranium abroad if an agreement is reached with the United States on the nuclear file. According to Al-Monitor, Iravani stated that moving uranium enriched to 20% and 60% is not a red line for Iran. However, he noted that the alternative would be to keep the stockpile inside the country under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). At the same time, Iravani reaffirmed Iran's right to domestically produce uranium, a demand the United States firmly opposes, and emphasized that Iran will not accept any restrictions on its ballistic missile program. He stressed that any future agreement must include the lifting of international sanctions on Iran as a fundamental condition, in addition to addressing other equally important issues. Iravani's remarks came just hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X, expressing Iran's readiness 'in principle' to resume nuclear talks with Washington. However, he called on US President Donald Trump to 'tone down his rhetoric' toward the Iranian leadership. 'If President Trump is serious about reaching a deal, he must abandon his disrespectful and unacceptable tone toward Mr. Khamenei, and stop insulting the millions of his devoted followers,' Araghchi said. 'Goodwill generates goodwill, and respect fosters respect.' Trump had recently stated that a new round of talks with Iran would take place next week, without providing further details. Previous rounds of negotiations between the two sides have repeatedly stalled.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords - Jordan News
Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the Simon Wiesenthal Center for International Affairs, visited Damascus in mid-June along with Pastor Johnny Moore. The two met with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, following an earlier meeting with Al-Sharaa in New York last April. اضافة اعلان In an extensive interview conducted via Zoom with Al Majalla on June 12, Cooper discussed his visit to Damascus, his role, and his vision for the future of Syria and its relationship with Tel Aviv. The publication of the interview was delayed due to the outbreak of the Israeli-Iranian war, but Cooper later responded in writing to a follow-up question on the matter. Cooper described his two-hour meeting with President Al-Sharaa as the most important part of the visit: 'It's only fair to say that when you sit with someone who publicly identifies as having a clear Islamic background—and yet embraces a vision for Syria that includes all its citizens, and who approaches issues with a strategic and practical mindset aimed at removing Syria from the list of hostile states in a volatile region while sincerely expressing hope for peace—it leaves a lasting impact.' During his meetings with Syrian officials, Cooper proposed two initiatives: A humanitarian DNA project to help tens of thousands of Syrian families determine the fate of their missing loved ones. A proposal for increased cooperation in water and agriculture, fields where Israel holds advanced expertise, especially given the vast barren lands he witnessed on his first trip to Syria. When asked whether Al-Sharaa is seeking a peace deal, Cooper replied: 'I believe he has the tools and skills to make it happen. But peace requires serious effort from both sides. If we have to proceed step by step toward de-escalation, that alone would be a major priority for the Jewish state.' He added: 'The current focus should be on de-escalation… Yes, we aspire for a warm peace, but it doesn't have to follow the Abraham Accords framework.' In response to whether former President Trump could play a decisive role, Cooper stated: 'Simply put: If President Trump invites both leaders—Al-Sharaa and Netanyahu—and embraces them, telling them 'we're fully behind you,' an Abraham Accord could be signed much sooner.' He emphasized that greater involvement from Trump would expedite Syria's inclusion in the Abraham Accords: 'Without him, we'll proceed step by step. But either way, we will continue to play the role of persistent mediators.' Cooper concluded by highlighting Syria's current focus on reaffirming the 1974 Disengagement Agreement—violated by Israel following the collapse of the Assad regime on December 8 of last year.

Top Hamas commander, Oct 7 planner, killed in 'Israeli' operation, says 'Israeli' army
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed on Saturday that a joint operation targeted and killed a senior Hamas military council member in Gaza City on Friday. The strike eliminated Abu Omar Al-Suri, a Syrian national of Palestinian origin who played a significant role in Hamas' military operations and training. Activists close to Hamas announced Abu Omar's death without providing further details. Though not widely known within Gaza, activists said he was killed in an Israeli strike south of the city on Friday evening. Hamas supporters say Abu Omar came from Syria in 2005 to transfer his experience to Gaza's resistance. He contributed extensively across various areas, founding the Qassam Brigades Academy, which has graduated thousands of fighters. Thanks to his expertise, he introduced diverse scientific and technical knowledge across multiple military specializations. Hamas activists noted that Abu Omar was originally from Burqa, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. He was also one of the key planners of the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Through social media and WhatsApp groups, Hamas supporters emphasized Abu Omar's crucial role in the technical and structural development of the Qassam Brigades, calling him one of the few individuals with a 'real impact' on Gaza's resistance.
