❗️Israeli War Minister again threatens Beirut, takes aim at Lebanese President
Israeli War Minister Israel Katz accused Lebanese President Joseph Aoun of “dragging his feet” on disarming Hezbollah following an Israeli massacre that killed four people in south Lebanon's Kfar Reman Saturday night, one of whom Israel claims was a senior member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.
“Hezbollah is playing with fire,” Katz wrote on X, warning that “the Lebanese government’s commitment to disarm Hezbollah and remove it from southern Lebanon must be realized,” and vowing that “maximum enforcement will continue and deepen.”

⭕️ Armenia nears $3 billion deal for India’s Su-30MKI fighter jets
Armenia is close to finalizing a $2.5 to $3 billion deal with India to purchase Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Indian Defense News reported.
The agreement, now in its final negotiation stages, is seen as a response to Azerbaijan’s acquisition of 40 JF-17C Block-III fighters from Pakistan.
If completed, it would mark Armenia’s largest-ever defense procurement and deepen its military partnership with New Delhi.
Deliveries are expected to begin by 2027, with HAL customizing the aircraft to include Uttam AESA radar, Astra missiles, and advanced electronic warfare systems, making them among the most advanced export variants of the Su-30MKI.
The Su-30MKI, first inducted into the Indian Air Force in 2002, remains India’s flagship multirole fighter. Its export to Armenia comes amid India’s broader push to expand its defense industry’s global reach and strengthen ties with partners across Eurasia.

❗️Israeli Army Radio reports that the bodies handed over by Hamas yesterday do not belong to any Israeli captive.
⭕️ Israel says three bodies handed over by Hamas not captive remains
Israel announced on Saturday that the remains of three individuals handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross in Gaza do not belong to any Israeli captives.
The handover came a day after Israel returned the bodies of 30 Palestinians to Gaza, completing an earlier exchange that followed the transfer of two hostage remains earlier in the week. Hamas’s armed wing said it had offered Israel body samples for testing, but Israel refused and demanded full remains for examination. The group stated it handed them over “to stop Israel’s claims,” while Gaza’s health authorities noted difficulties in identifying bodies due to a lack of DNA testing kits.
Since the so-called 'ceasefire' began on 10 October, the Palestinian resistance has released the remains of 17 captives, with 11 still in Gaza. In exchange, Israel has been returning 15 unidentified Palestinian bodies for each Israeli captive’s remains. Hamas has said that Israel's violations, along with the widespread devastation in Gaza, have made the task of retrieving Israeli captives' remains extremely difficult.
So far, 225 Palestinian bodies have been returned, of which only 75 have been identified, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

⭕️ Iranian source denies receiving US message via Oman
An informed source told Tasnim News that reports claiming the United States had sent a message to Iran through Oman are “not true,” refuting allegations published by Iraq’s Baghdad Al-Youm.
The Iraqi outlet had reported that Washington conveyed a proposal to resume suspended nuclear talks via Muscat.
Iranian officials reiterated their commitment to diplomacy but stressed that any negotiations “with predetermined and one-sided results are unacceptable.”
Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi recently stated in Oman that the US has shown no readiness to negotiate on equal terms, leaving Tehran “no justification” to continue talks under current conditions.

⭕️ Sudan briefs UN on UAE-backed RSF atrocities in El-Fasher and Bara
——
Sudan’s envoy to the UN in Geneva, Hassan Hamid, presented what he described as “extensive evidence” of atrocities committed by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El-Fasher, North Darfur, and Bara, North Kordofan, since 26 October, according to SUNA, Sudan’s state news agency.
Speaking before senior UN officials including Deputy High Commissioner Nada al-Nashif, Hamid detailed “ethnically motivated executions” targeting civilians, along with “mass killings of patients, caregivers, and medical staff at the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El-Fasher.” He also reported the burning of residential areas, sexual assaults, and killings of displaced people who had sought shelter in hospitals and schools.
Hamid accused the international community’s inaction of emboldening the RSF “to continue these horrific crimes.” He further described similar atrocities committed in Bara following the militia’s seizure of the city on 25 October, which triggered mass displacement and widespread human rights violations.
RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) later admitted that “violations” occurred but claimed investigation committees were formed.

⭕️ In a statement, Hamas denounced the false claims made by US Central Command about the alleged looting of an aid truck in Gaza, calling them baseless fabrications meant to justify cutting humanitarian aid and to cover up the international community’s failure to end Israel’s blockade and starvation of civilians. The movement said Gaza’s police and security forces lost more than a thousand members while protecting aid convoys, and that chaos and looting only occurred under Israeli occupation control. No international or local organization has filed any complaint or report about such an incident, proving the claim was fabricated to justify the siege.
The movement also said US drones that allegedly captured footage of a truck failed to record Israel’s daily crimes, including the killing of 254 Palestinians—91 percent of them civilians—since the ceasefire began, the destruction of homes, and the prevention of essential supplies from entering Gaza.
It also said Washington’s stance deepens its complicity in the siege and suffering of Gaza’s population and called on it to show human conscience and moral responsibility instead of continuing to justify Israel’s ongoing violations.

⭕️ Netanyahu calls Palestinian prisoner abuse leak worst PR crisis in Israel's history
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the leak of footage showing ostensible abuse of a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman “caused enormous reputational damage to Israel, to the IDF, and to our soldiers.”
“It is perhaps the most serious public-relations attack Israel has experienced since its founding — I cannot recall one so concentrated and intense,” he added, calling for an “independent and impartial inquiry.”
The remarks came after Military Advocate Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned Thursday, admitting she had leaked the 2024 video.

⭕️ US issues 'final warning' to Iraq over resistance factions
Iraqi Defense Minister Thabit al-Abbasi revealed what he described as Washington’s “most serious warning” to Baghdad, delivered by his US counterpart Pete Hegseth during a phone call.
According to Abbasi, the warning concerned Iraq’s resistance factions and included a direct threat “in the event that these factions carry out any operations in response to what Washington intends to do in the region near Iraq in the coming days.” Hegseth reportedly ended the call with the words: “This is your final notice … and you know very well how the current administration will respond.”
The Iraqi minister said the conversation, which lasted about 12 minutes and included senior Iraqi military officials, also touched on cooperation regarding drones, a proposed intelligence-sharing memorandum, and a pending deal for Bell helicopters. Analysts told Asharq al-Awsat the warning reflects a new US approach aimed at 'curbing Iranian influence' and pressuring resistance factions to “either align with the state or await potential US military operations.”
