📰 Mother of slain soldier held by Hamas terrorists for 4K days makes plea to Trump
Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier and artist, was killed by Hamas terrorists during a ceasefire in Gaza 4,000 days ago, and his remains have not been returned. His mother, Leah Goldin, continues to advocate for his return, urging President Trump and his advisors to prioritize bringing her son home before any agreements are made. Hadar was known for his gentle character, artistic talent, and service in the elite Givati Brigade. Despite international laws requiring the return of remains in armed conflicts, Hadar’s body remains in Gaza. Leah Goldin has met with world leaders seeking justice for her son and others, and she has lost trust in the Israeli government for not prioritizing his return.
Leah Goldin credits the Trump administration for taking the issue seriously and sees an opportunity for diplomatic efforts with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Gaza to demand Hadar’s return. She believes Saudi Arabia, as a leader in the Islamic world, could use its leverage to push for the return of hostages as a gesture of goodwill. Goldin has also supported families of current hostages through the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, created after her son’s death. She views ongoing hostage negotiations as a nightmare of selection and vows to continue advocating until Hadar and all hostages are brought home.
📰 Iran claims its president was injured in Israeli airstrike last month
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained a minor leg injury while escaping an Israeli airstrike at a government facility in Western Tehran on June 16. The attack, allegedly carried out by Israel, targeted entry and exit points of the building to prevent evacuation and disrupt air flow. Power was cut to the targeted floor, forcing officials to escape through an emergency hatch, resulting in Pezeshkian and others suffering minor leg injuries. The report compared the attack to an Israeli plan that led to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah. The airstrike occurred during a 12-day war between Israel and Iran, with the U.S. launching its own strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites before brokering a cease-fire.

📰 Israel, Hamas talks drag as aid group chair tells UN to stop acting like the ‘mafia’
Negotiations for a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have stalled, with aid distribution being a major point of contention. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has faced challenges in delivering aid due to opposition from Hamas and criticism from the United Nations. The GHF has been accused of using a militarized approach to aid delivery, leading to security risks for civilians seeking assistance. The U.N. has questioned the GHF’s death toll figures and called for its removal from Gaza, while the GHF accuses the U.N. of employing mafia-like tactics. Despite both sides aiming to provide aid to Palestinians, disagreements persist on how to ensure stable assistance in the region.
