⭕️ Israel recovers soldier’s remains from 1982 battle in Syria during ‘covert recovery mission’
After over four decades, Israel has recovered the remains of Sgt. First Class Zvi Feldman, missing since the Battle of Sultan Yacoub during the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
The Mossad and Israeli army announced the operation as a covert recovery mission inside Syria, carried out using “precise intelligence.” No further details were disclosed.
Feldman was one of three soldiers lost in the fierce clash between the Israeli and Syrian armies in the Bekaa Valley, where 21 Israeli soldiers were killed and dozens injured. The battle erupted on 10 June, 1982, as Israeli forces pushed to cut the Beirut–Damascus highway.
It remains one of the most damaging confrontations for the Israeli military during what Israel calls the ‘First Lebanon War.’
PM Benjamin Netanyahu praised the “decades-long effort” to retrieve Feldman and vowed that Israel “will not rest” until the final missing soldier from that battle, Yehuda Katz, is also returned.
In 2019, the remains of the third missing soldier, Zachary Baumel, were recovered from Syria through a Russian-mediated effort.

⭕️ Jerusalem Center President claims Israel's ties with Trump strong despite media buzz over rift
Dr. Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, says Israel is coordinating on all important matters with the US, first and foremost ensuring that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons.
According to him, relations with Trump are actually close, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has no reason to worry—in fact, he is the only foreign leader who has met with Trump twice since his return to the White House.
Although Diker admits there are “several concerning issues important to Israel’s security,” such as the potential establishment of a Palestinian state, he is confident that Trump understands the post–7 October regional reality.
“Trump wants to go down two separate tracks—one with Israel and one with Mohammed bin Salman, and this isn’t about screwing Israel, but about managing things outside the box. That’s classic Trump.”
Diker says that between massive Saudi investments and Israeli technology, it’s possible Trump is simply maneuvering on all fronts at once.

⭕️ Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
Borrell called Israel's war “the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the Second World War.”
Speaking in Spain on Friday while accepting the Charles V European Award, Borrell condemned Israel’s actions and described its intentions as turning Gaza into “a splendid holiday destination once all the millions of tonnes of rubble have been cleared… and the Palestinians have died or gone away.”
He cited Israeli leaders’ rhetoric as “clear declarations of genocidal intent,” and said, “seldom have I heard the leader of a state so clearly outline a plan that fits the legal definition of genocide.”
Borrell criticized the US and Europe for their complicity, stating, “Half of the bombs that are falling on Gaza are supplied by the Americans,” making it impossible for Washington to claim neutrality.
“Nothing has been getting into Gaza. Nothing: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services,” he said, adding that “three times more explosive power has been dropped on Gaza than was used in the Hiroshima bomb.”
As for Europe, he said it “has the capacity and the means not only to protest… but also to influence [Israel’s] conduct. But it is not doing so.”
