Reports: Israel rejects disarmament plan

In an apparent act of rebellion, over 100 Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion walked off the base without authorisation, shouting obscene slogans. The incident happened on Thursday, when dozens of soldiers left the Sde Teiman base after commanders removed signs and symbols linked to a battalion tradition, YNet News reported.&nbsp;Videos of the incident started spreading on X, showing the soldiers chanting slogans against their officers. Some of them left their weapons behind, took their personal belongings, and went home. The soldiers in the battalion said that the officers removed the signs and symbols that had been with them during the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. A video reportedly shows a commander taking them down himself. They had been passed down from one recruitment class to the next and were symbolic of their connection with the battalion and its traditions. &nbsp;

Meanwhile, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said the walkout followed the commander’s decision to remove signs connected to irregular incidents involving the battalion’s “veteran-junior” tradition. It termed it "is inconsistent with IDF values and with what is expected of its soldiers." It added that the incident is being investigated and addressed by commanders.&nbsp;<h2>“Collapse” and “rebellion” in the Israeli army?&nbsp;</h2>The Arab media called it out as "rebellion" in the army, while the Iraqi Naya agency, which is associated with the Iranian-backed Shiite axis, described the event as a "collapse in the occupation army."

Syrian outlets claimed that it represented a "dangerous development threatening the cohesion of the Israeli military."&nbsp;The Tzabar Battalion is one of the most prominent combat battalions, YNet reported, adding that the IDF has not said anything about disciplinary action being taken against the soldiers.&nbsp;

Trump: Israel to withdraw from Gaza Strip

US President Donald Trump has claimed that the Board of Peace has reached an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. The announcement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict and restoring stability in the region.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a highly unusual closed-door meeting at the White House, sparking intense speculation over the future of the Iran conflict.

Unlike previous meetings, there were no public remarks or joint press interactions before the talks. The White House released photographs only after the 90-minute meeting, raising questions about what was discussed behind closed doors.

Trump-Netanyahu Meeting: What's Really Changing on Iran?

India risks complicity in Israel's “ongoing genocide against Palestinians” in Gaza due to its consistent weapons exports to Israel, flagged UK based Internation Human Rights Watchdog Amnesty International. India exported at least 2,596 shipments of weapons to Israel since October 7, 2023. In its report, Amnesty International flagged that India has “forged a close and profitable partnership" with the Israeli defence sector and embedded itself within the supply chain of Israeli military operations.“In light of the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures orders recognising a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the Indian authorities cannot credibly argue that they did not know that continuing to authorise and facilitate arms transfers to Israel carries a substantial risk of contributing to serious violations of international law," said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International's Secretary General. &nbsp;The report indicates that India has supplied 390,516 small arms parts for military-grade weapons, 564,970 parts of explosive ordnance (such as drone warheads, artillery shell casings and others), and 298 components of military vehicles that are direct supplier of Israeli military. The human rights watchdog also flagged critical structural failure in India's national legal framework around arms transfer, a lack of requirement for human rights due diligence to prevent military items being used in violation of international law and a lack of transparency in an unaccountable export process.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/irgc-us-bases-jordan-kuwait-f35-centcom-denial-1785426760458">Iran claims attack on US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, alleges F-35s destroyed</a>The 42-page report released on 30 July 2026, titled "Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel", also flagged that there was battlefield evidence of Indian made 155mm high-explosive shell casings and components for SkyStriker "kamikaze" drones, among the debris in Gaza. The report flagged several Indian companies such as PLR Systems Private Limited, a joint venture between Adani Defence &amp; Aerospace and Israel Weapon Industries, Indo MIM Private Limited, Kalyani Systems Private Limited, and Alpha Elsec Defence &amp; Aerospace Systems Private Limited, a joint venture of Alpha Design Technologies and Elbit Systems.&nbsp;The report also flagged three state-owned enterprises: Munitions India Limited, which allegedly exported 1,000 high-explosive 155mm artillery shells to the Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems; Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited, which supplied 120 81-mm mortar launchers to Elbit Systems in February 2024; and India Optel Limited 178 military-grade semiconductor items, including vanadium oxide infrared sensors, to Semiconductor Devices Ltd.&nbsp;The report also emphasised that t post-ICJ ruling, India's facilitating of international crimes risks complicity and makes the state and corporate personnel directly liable. India stands in direct violation of the “Genocide Convention and its obligation to ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions”.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Amnesty International alleges India's continued arms exports to Israel risk complicity in violations of international law, citing over 2,500 shipments since October 2023.

In a stunning shift during high-stakes diplomatic maneuvers in Washington, reports highlight a changing dynamic for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Amid intense regional conflicts involving Iran and evolving U.S. foreign policy vectors under President Trump, analysts examine Netanyahu's shifting capacity—transitioning toward providing intelligence, strategic advice, and information sharing to steer allied responses.


PM Benjamin Netanyahu's new role is to offer advice and information

From food bills to luxury renovations and even bathtub-related expenses, scrutiny over funds spent on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official and private residences has sparked political debate and public interest.

From food to bathtubs: Decoding funds spent on Netanyahu's homes

Imagine a government spending over thirty one thousand US dollars on the maintenance of gardens at the private residence of a prime minister during wartime.&nbsp;This very scenario unfolded in Israel, with fresh data revealing the extent of government expenditure on PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s residences.&nbsp;As per information received by an NGO named – ‘Movement for Freedom of Information’, more than eight hundred eighty two thousand US dollars were spent by the government on residences of Netanyahu since January 2025.&nbsp;This includes the house on Gaza Street in Jerusalem where he lives, his private home in Caesarea, the official residence on Balfour Street, and some service apartments.&nbsp;If we look at 2025 alone, over six hundred forty two thousand US dollars were spent on the PM’s homes.&nbsp;While salaries accounted for 74% of these funds, the REST were maintenance and operating expenses.&nbsp;There is a catch though.&nbsp;Details of suppliers were not disclosed for nearly 45% of this category of expenses in the name of national security.&nbsp;Apart from the gardening expense mentioned before, the state spent over four thousand four hundred US dollars on replacing a bath tub at Netanyahu’s home.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Although food purchases were the single largest expense in 2025, the NGO flagged an anomaly. 76 food orders were received on 16th June last year, even though no official event was reportedly held that day. What added to the intrigue was that the name of suppliers in all these orders were blacked out. This is not all. In the first six months of 2026, funds worth over two hundred thirty eight thousand US dollars were spent on Netanyahu’s homes. While the amount may look smaller, the pace of spending so far indicates that annual operating expenses could be higher than last year. This year too, food expenses accounted for a major chunk of the expenses. However, about four thousand eight hundred US dollars were spent to replace another bathtub. Although the NGO had also sought copies of invoices and receipts for these expenses, the PM Office rejected this, citing that there is no obligation to provide these documents. But why is the disclosure of this information so vital? According to the NGO’s CEO, it is vital for the government to be fully transparent regarding public expenses at a time when people are coping with a heavy economic burden and the consequences of war. With Netanyahu already facing the heat over the war and corruption trials, the opposition is also likely to rake up the issue of expenses on the election campaign trail.

As per information, more than eight hundred eighty two thousand US dollars were spent on residences of Netanyahu since January 2025. This includes the house on Gaza Street in Jerusalem where he lives, his private home in Caesarea, the official residence on Balfour Street, and some apartments.

Iran has warned that any renewed US military strikes, especially alongside Israel, could trigger a wider regional conflict across West Asia. The warning comes ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, as tensions continue to rise. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities in Jazan and Yanbu, threatening key global energy routes. The conflict has raised concerns over the security of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and global oil supplies, while Iran insists that diplomacy—not military escalation is the only path forward.

West Asia's security landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation following the Iran conflict. Saudi Arabia is advancing its civilian nuclear ambitions, Turkey is seeking to rejoin the F-35 fighter jet program, and regional powers are rapidly reassessing their military strategies and deterrence capabilities. The shifting balance of power has reignited concerns about a possible regional arms race. While Saudi Arabia deepens its strategic ties with the United States and maintains close defense cooperation with Pakistan, Turkey is pushing to regain access to fifth-generation stealth fighters. Meanwhile, Israel continues to maintain one of the region's most advanced militaries under its long-standing policy of nuclear ambiguity.

US President Donald Trump has announced that the proposed civilian nuclear agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia will only be approved if Riyadh recognizes the State of Israel by joining the Abraham Accords.
