“Total Conquest of Gaza”?
Netanyahu is reportedly set to announce a new war plan — and it could mean full military occupation of Gaza.

While the humanitarian crisis worsens and hostage families plead for a ceasefire, Israel may be preparing for its most aggressive move yet.

Critics say it risks more lives — including the hostages — and pushes peace even further away.

But Netanyahu insists the goals remain: defeat Hamas, free the captives, and ensure Gaza never threatens Israel again.

Femi Falana just called the single-term presidency debate a distraction — and honestly, he might be right.

While politicians argue over power rotation and one-term promises, Nigerians are still battling insecurity, blackouts, and rising food prices.

“Stop focusing on who governs,” he says. “Start focusing on how they plan to solve real problems.”

Electricity. Security. Food. Jobs. That’s what should be trending — not North vs South.

🌍 BREAKING: Trump Slams India With 25% Tariff Over Russian Oil Ties!
🇺🇸🔥 “India is profiting off Russian war oil… This ends now.” – Donald Trump

🚨 U.S. President Donald Trump says India will face a 25% tariff starting August 1 due to its massive oil deals with Russia — accusing New Delhi of making billions while ignoring the war in Ukraine.

🇮🇳 India clapped back, calling the move “unfair and political”, saying it’s just protecting its economy like every other country.

🛑 Trump also hinted at extra penalties if Russia doesn’t move toward peace this week.

🧠 What this means:

Indian goods entering the U.S. will get more expensive

Major sectors hit: pharma, auto, IT, agriculture

India says it won’t stop buying Russian oil 🛢️

📊 Trade war or political move? The global ripple effects are already stirring...

🇮🇱 Netanyahu Urges Red Cross to Aid Hostages as Gaza Footage Sparks Outrage

🚨 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to urgently help bring food and medical care to hostages held by Hamas in Gaza—after disturbing videos emerged showing captives in visibly frail conditions.

📽️ The ICRC confirmed the footage is “harrowing” and reiterated calls for full access to all captives. Hamas responded that visits would be allowed—if Israel opens humanitarian corridors across Gaza.

🧍‌‍♂️‌‍♀️ In one heartbreaking video clip, captive Evyatar David is seen digging his own grave. Both he and fellow hostage Rom Braslavski appeared dangerously weak, prompting renewed global calls for a ceasefire and hostage release.

🔎 By the numbers:

At least 49 hostages remain in Gaza

Israel believes 27 may be dead

Tens of thousands protested in Tel Aviv demanding immediate action

Emergency UN Security Council session set for Tuesday on hostage crisis

💬 EU foreign chief Kaja Kallas condemned Hamas: “These images expose barbarity.” Meanwhile, aid groups warn a worsening humanitarian crisis as civilians in Gaza face deadly aid-site shootings and restricted supplies.

📢 What do YOU think should happen next?
Should Red Cross help be prioritized for hostages even amid wider humanitarian needs in Gaza?
