High-Seas Crackdown: Israel opened fire on Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla boats, with video showing shots as soldiers boarded and seized vessels; organizers say all 50 boats were intercepted and hundreds of activists detained, while Israel insists no live ammunition was used. Diplomatic Fallout: Turkey’s Erdogan condemned the “voyagers of hope” raid; UN officials warned international law on the high seas must be respected, and Italy urged an urgent review after reports of rubber bullets. Legal Pressure: The ICC sought an arrest warrant for far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich over forced displacement and genocidal remarks; Smotrich called it a “declaration of war” and vowed to evacuate Khan al-Ahmar. Detention Abuse Claims: A UN torture rapporteur urged Israel to revise detention laws after compiling dozens of alleged torture and sexual abuse incidents. Lebanon Escalation: Despite ceasefire talks, Israel fired phosphorus shells on farms in southern Lebanon and issued fresh evacuation warnings as strikes continued. Sports & Politics: A Kuwaiti jiu-jitsu champion refused to shake an Israeli opponent’s hand, saying “we do not respect them at all.” New Diplomatic Move: Somaliland said it will open an embassy in Jerusalem after Israel’s recognition.
