NYT report claims Netanyahu prolonged war for political survival
During his recent trip to Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hoped a 60-day ceasefire agreement could be reached within days.
But Palestinian officials have criticised that visit, telling the BBC they believe Mr Netanyahu's trip was a tactic to delay the talks and that Israel is deliberately stalling the negotiation process.
These accusations parallel claims made in a damning exposé in the New York Times over the weekend that accuse the Prime Minister of prolonging the war in Gaza to stay in power.

'Sesame Street' puppet Elmo's hacked X account calls for Jews' extermination
The X account of Sesame Street's Elmo, a beloved children's TV character, shared antisemitic and anti-Donald Trump posts after being hacked on Sunday. A slew of messages calling for the extermination of Jewish people and labeling the US president a "puppet" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were shared on the account. Around 650,000 users follow Elmo, the fuzzy red monster who teaches his young audience about kindness and patience. An archived version of the X account showed several messages were published on Sunday afternoon. They were later removed, although a link to a Telegram page apparently associated with the hack remained in the account's bio section. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, said that an unidentified hacker was behind the posts. "Elmo's X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts," a spokesperson told AFP in a statement. "The account has since been secured," they added. The hacking on Elon Musk's X platform is the latest in a string of hate speech incidents since the billionaire bought then-Twitter in 2022 and axed moderation policies that he considers censorship. On Saturday, his xAI startup apologized for antisemitic posts published on X by its artificial intelligence assistant Grok, which praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Antisemitism is facing particular scrutiny in the United States after two Israeli embassy staffers were killed outside a Jewish museum in Washington in May. A firebombing attack at a protest in Colorado supporting Israeli hostages held in Gaza left over a dozen people wounded in June, and an 82-year-old woman later died from her injuries. Anger over Israel's conduct of its war in Gaza resulted in widespread protests on US university campuses, with the government cracking down on the demonstrations after accusing them of antisemitism. bur-bjt/aha

'We live in a state of terror': Syrians fear violence as dozens dead after sectarian clashes
Syrian government forces were advancing towards the southern city of Sweida to quell deadly clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes, with one Druze armed group saying talks with authorities aimed at brokering a truce were underway. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) war monitor reported over 100 people have been killed since the fighting erupted on Sunday — 60 Druze, including four civilians, 18 Bedouin fighters, 14 security personnel and seven unidentified people in military uniforms. As the violence escalated, Israel — which has previously warned it would intervene in Syria to protect the Druze — said it struck "several tanks" in the area as a "warning". Syrian forces took control of the Druze village of al-Mazraa, where Bedouin fighters were also located. A commander, Ezzeddine al-Shamayer, told Agence France-Presse the forces "are heading toward Sweida" city. Syria's defence ministry says "outlawed groups" have attacked government security forces. Source: AP / Ghaith Alsayed In a statement, Syria's interior ministry declared "army and internal security forces have moved closer to the centre" of Sweida province. Bassem Fakhr, spokesperson for the Men of Dignity movement, one of the largest Druze factions in Sweida, said talks were "underway between the notables of the city of Sweida and representatives of the general security [forces] and the defence ministry to reach a solution". Druze religious authorities called for a ceasefire in the area, saying they were not opposed to the Syrian central government. But Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, one of the three Druze spiritual leaders in Sweida, expressed his "rejection of the entry" of security forces into the province, demanding "international protection". READ MORE At least 20 killed in suicide bomb attack on Damascus church, Syrian officials say Israel — which also has a Druze population and has previously attacked Syria in purported defence of the group — reported hitting several tanks heading towards Sweida. The strikes were "a clear warning to the Syrian regime — we will not allow harm to be done to the Druze in Syria", Israeli defence minister Israel Katz posted on X. Fear of massacres The fighting in the south underscores the challenges facing interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, whose Islamist forces removed then-president Bashar al-Assad in December after nearly 14 years of civil war. Syria's pre-war Druze population was estimated at around 700,000, many of them concentrated in Sweida province. The Druze, followers of an esoteric religion that split from Shi'ite Islam, are mainly found in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Following deadly clashes with government forces in April and May, local and religious leaders reached an agreement with Syria under which Druze fighters have been providing security in the province. The streets of Sweida were deserted on Monday, with an AFP photographer reporting distant gunfire during funerals. "We lived in a state of extreme terror — the shells were falling randomly," said Abu Taym, a 51-year-old father, adding, "most shops are closed". "We fear a repeat of the coastal scenario," said Amal, 46, referring to killings of more than 1,700 — mostly Alawites — in north-west Syria, according to SOHR, where groups affiliated with the government were blamed for most of the killings. "We are not against the state, but we are against surrendering our weapons without a state that treats everyone the same," she said. In a post on X, Syrian defence minister Murhaf Abu Qasra urged his troops to "protect your fellow citizens" from "outlaw gangs", and to "restore stability to Sweida".

Shock new footage from arson attack
A chilling new video has emerged on social media claiming to show footage from the attack on a Melbourne business by radical activists. The same social media page that anonymously posted a video from a person claiming credit for the attack on Monday posted the new footage. 'STOP ARMING 'ISRAEL' OR ELSE,' the caption on the new post reads. 'Footage from the cell that hit imperialist weapons firm Lovitt Technologies in Greensborough on the 5th of July.' The video appears to have been filmed from a body-worn camera and shows a fire being lit under the front wheel of a car. The person in the footage then spray-paints a message on a car before running away. At least two other people also run away. Throughout the new clip the contentious protest chant 'Death, death to the IDF' is played. The previous video, still unverified, shows a person speaking with a digitally altered voice and dressed head-to-toe in black. It was posted by the same account as the new video as a 'Communique from torching of three vehicles at Lovitt technologies'. CCTV of the incident shows five people entering the businesses just before 4am on July 5 and setting fire to three cars. 'This is a clear and serious threat,' the person said in the previous video. 'If you continue making weapons or components of any kind there will be consequences. Consider this a warning.' The person then said their motives were anti-Israel, anti-American and anti-Australian sentiment. A still from a video allegedly produced by a group that claims to be behind the attack on Lovitt Technologies in Greensborough. Supplied Credit: Supplied 'After 21 months of an accelerated genocide against the Palestinian people by the illegitimate Zionist entity, eight decades of American warmongering and imperialism, 2½ centuries of the most violent colonial oppression, ethnic cleansing and murder of Aboriginal peoples across so-called Australia, Lovitt Technologies has chosen its place at the intersection of these catastrophes,' the person said. The group claimed they were targeting Lovitt because it supplies components to weapons companies including Lockheed Martin, BAE and Boeing. The company previously received a grant for work on the supply chain for F-35 fighter jets, a version of which is used by Israel. The video threatened the workers at the Melbourne office and said the group had been 'watching' them. 'Every worker in this supply chain is complicit,' the person said. Police confirmed on Monday that they were investigating the previously released video and the incident. 'The matter is now being investigated by the Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team, which includes personnel from Victoria Police, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation,' a Victoria Police spokeswoman told NewsWire on Monday. 'Investigators are aware of a video which has been circulating where a group has claimed responsibility for the incident. 'This video is being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation. 'Police have already released CCTV of five people they would like to speak to in relation to the incident. Each person was dressed in black hooded jumpers, backpacks and gloves.'
