US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized international pressure on Israel to resume allowing UN-managed aid into Gaza, citing newly released footage showing Hamas looting aid trucks. Huckabee posted on X: "Is the UN, NY Times, and Hamas all happy now? I'm sure Hamas is. Their lies & propaganda destroyed cease-fire deal, tried to discredit safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas & will result in this complete balagan! Most sad for hostage families—grief prolonged."

President Isaac Herzog echoed these sentiments after visiting Gaza, stating that Hamas is the true obstacle to humanitarian relief. "Huge quantities of aid are flowing in—in conjunction with UN and EU efforts agreed by Israel. Hamas loots the aid and prevents its proper distribution," he said.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claiming to be the only consistent aid provider, offered to distribute UN aid for free after footage showed nearly 1,000 aid trucks idle on the Gaza border. GHF reports distributing over 87 million meals to date, averaging two to three million daily.

Despite this, Germany, France, and Britain condemned Israel on Friday, accusing it of obstructing aid. A joint statement demanded Israel lift restrictions and allow the UN to address what they called "mass starvation."

Meanwhile, the IDF resumed aerial aid drops and implemented temporary humanitarian pauses to facilitate aid delivery. Additional trucks entered Gaza from Egypt, and the UAE announced an airlift of supplies.

“Lord, bring clarity and peace amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Protect those distributing aid honestly and expose and dismantle schemes that prolong suffering. May truth prevail and the innocent be delivered from manipulation and terror.”

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reiterated that Hamas is the reason for the prolonged conflict in Gaza, rebuffing narratives accusing Israel of stalling peace. He stated, "Stop the nonsense saying ‘Israel doesn’t want war in Gaza to end... there is only ONE reason this has dragged on—Hamas!"

Huckabee referenced a report revealing Hamas' reversal on previously agreed ceasefire terms, including aid distribution and prisoner swaps. Hamas now insists all aid be delivered via the UN, undermining Israel-approved channels.

The ambassador affirmed continued US-Israel coordination and blamed Hamas for manipulating negotiations and prolonging the suffering of both Israelis and Gazans. (INN/VFI News)

The Knesset passed a resolution affirming Israel's right to full sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, declaring these areas inseparable from the Jewish people's historic and spiritual homeland.

The resolution received support from 71 Members of Knesset. It highlighted cities such as Hebron and Shiloh as central to Jewish history. It also declared that the events of October 7 proved that a Palestinian state poses an existential threat.

MKs called on the Israeli government to immediately apply sovereignty across all Jewish settlements in these regions and urged international allies to support this move. (INN/VFI News)

Hamas is reportedly on high alert over fears of a joint Israeli-US rescue mission targeting hostages. Saudi sources claim Hamas has increased surveillance to prevent detection and infiltration by Israeli special forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reinforced that Hamas remains the chief obstacle to any ceasefire deal or hostage release. "Together with our American allies, we are considering alternative options to bring our hostages home," Netanyahu said.

Hamas reportedly backtracked on earlier ceasefire agreements, demanding exclusive UN control of humanitarian aid and increasing prisoner release demands. These shifts, Israel says, reveal Hamas' lack of commitment to any peaceful resolution. (INN/VFI News)

Far beyond the headlines and deep within the land of Israel, there are richer stories to be told. Stories about the true Israel of today—a complex, vibrant, modern, and yet very traditional place where Jews and Arabs have lived together as neighbors for three thousand years. Roots & Reflections offers you a slice of life as it is today in Israel—a land where the most dramatic events in the history of the world have unfolded.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu harshly criticized French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement recognizing a Palestinian state. Netanyahu stated that such recognition rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy state.

"The Palestinians don’t want a state beside Israel—they want one instead of it," Netanyahu said. He warned that a Palestinian state would become a launch pad for further attacks.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and other Israeli leaders echoed these concerns, asserting that the October 7 massacre by Hamas proved the dangers of statehood under current conditions.

Macron defended the move as a step toward peace, insisting that recognition was contingent on demilitarization and recognition of Israel. Still, Israeli officials remain united in opposition. (INN/VFI News)

“Father, protect Israel from deceptive peace offerings and political moves that would endanger its people. Grant wisdom to all the leaders navigating these threats and raise up voices of truth on the global stage.”

Iran's Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi brought together over 500 Iranian dissidents in Munich, forming the most diverse coalition yet to challenge the Islamic Republic. The Convention of National Cooperation to Save Iran featured activists, artists, former prisoners, and tribal representatives, marking a historic moment in the transition toward a democratic future.

Pahlavi blamed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei for the country's collapse and announced a five-pillar strategy: maximum pressure on the regime, support for the people, defections, organization of activists, and post-regime prosperity plans. He reported that over 50,000 insiders have registered to aid in dismantling the current system.

He outlined plans for a National Uprising Council and a temporary executive team to steer the transition. Despite regime threats, he promised fair trials, including for Khamenei.

"The Islamic Republic is going to the dustbin of history," he concluded. (INN/VFI News)

“Dear God, we ask for freedom, justice, and healing for the people of Iran. Strengthen those standing for truth and protect them in their pursuit of liberty. May Your light overcome tyranny and bring about a just and peaceful future.”

New data from Israel's Defense Ministry warns that by 2028, approximately 100,000 wounded and disabled IDF veterans will need care, with at least half suffering mental health issues. Since Hamas' October 7 assault, 18,500 soldiers have received treatment, including 3,769 with diagnosed PTSD.

A senior ministry source emphasized the psychological impact of prolonged conflict. "Once the war is over, this will hit us as a national challenge," the official stated.

Israel is currently expanding support services, but military health officials warn the system may be overwhelmed unless further investments are made soon. (INN/VFI News)

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." – Psalm 147:3

An Israeli electronic music artist abruptly canceled a major performance at Belgium’s Tomorrowland festival on Saturday, July 26, 2025, citing severe pressure from a pro-Palestinian organization and growing security concerns.

DJ Skazi, whose real name is Asher Swissa, was scheduled to perform at the globally renowned electronic dance music (EDM) event but withdrew just hours before his set. In a social media statement, he attributed the decision to safety reasons and a commitment to his core message of love and music.

“Due to security considerations and our deep commitment to spreading only love and music, my performance at Tomorrowland scheduled for Today, July 26th has been cancelled,” Swissa wrote, after returning to Israel from Belgium.

Speaking to reporters upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, Swissa elaborated on the situation. “There was a pro-Palestinian organization that was really on our backs, doing everything to stop it from happening,” he said. “It was all very intense and threatening.”

The pressure campaign reportedly originated from 11.11.11, a Belgian pro-Palestinian group, which posted on social media calling for festival organizers to disinvite Swissa. The group accused him of being part of an Israeli “propaganda campaign” and highlighted his nickname “combat DJ”—a reference to his previous performances for IDF troops in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks.

Photos of Swissa, clad in military-style clothing and waving an Israeli flag while entertaining soldiers, circulated widely and were referenced by critics.

Tomorrowland organizers issued a statement respecting his decision to withdraw, affirming that it was not theirs. “We respect and appreciate Skazi’s decision to withdraw at this time,” they stated. “We maintain deep respect for Skazi’s musical journey and hope to hear his music on one of our stages again in the future.”

Skazi’s withdrawal comes amid a broader trend of artists, businesses, and public figures facing mounting pressures related to their affiliations or perceived political stances amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. His departure also comes just days after the Tomorrowland main stage was severely damaged in a fire, further complicating the event’s logistics.

The annual event in Boom, Belgium, is considered the world’s largest EDM festival, drawing over 400,000 attendees across two weekends. Swissa had been a regular feature at the festival for 14 years, making his sudden exit all the more notable.

The incident has sparked debate about freedom of expression, artist safety, and the growing intersection of music and politics on the global stage. (NYP/VFI News)
