Israel’s Doha, Yemen Bombings Escalate Regional War Over Gaza

Welcome to Foreign policyStatus report. We want to start this week with an important message in light of the killing of right -wing activist Charlie Kerk in Utah on Wednesday. Kirk sat once with John for a long interview. Although he was unable to appreciate all John’s questions and was not afraid to get to know this, he was still participating with John in a group of difficult topics. We must be able to discuss difficult issues without threatening violence. Civil discourse is vital for democracy. In this memo, thank you for reading Sitrep and sharing with us.

Here is what is on the tap for today: IsraelExpanding the regional war, a The United States of China army Video call, and American motorcycle gang Members who distribute aid in Gaza.

Throughout the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which nourished tensions in the Middle East, concerns about the possibility of the outbreak of the regional conflict were raised. But in many ways, this is the reality in the Middle East. The list of countries bombed by Israel this week bombed a strike in Doha, Qatar, which was a major escalation in the Israel war against Hamas.

Since the Hamas -led attack on October 7, 2023, Israel has conducted military and secret operations in multiple countries throughout the Middle East in addition to Gaza, including Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Qatar. The Israeli army was also very active in the occupied West Bank since October 7, as it conducted the ground and air operations amid a sharp rise in settlers’ violence against the Palestinians. Israeli attacks all over the region – including an amazing operation that involves the implementation of the summonses in Lebanon – ranged into broader military campaigns aimed at insulting their capabilities for their opponents.

Israel has already recognized that it was waging war throughout the region. “In recent days, we have set many squares at the same time,” said the head of the forces, the General Lieutenant in Israel (IDF) on Wednesday. “Our message is clear: The long arm of the IDF will reach each square and cut the hands of all our enemies in the Middle East.”

Although Israel’s operations have killed many of the leading leaders of its largest enemies and left their forces a largely shrinking, its actions were condemned by many parts of the world. But the Israeli government is still working in a way that indicates that it does not care especially for global opinion. The country’s behavior also indicates that Israel believes that the United States will continue its support, whatever it is, even when it behaves in a way that undermines Washington’s foreign political goals.

“At the present time, we may be subject to some criticism. They will overcome it. Israel will be changed for the best,” said Yishil liter, Israeli ambassador to the United States, to Fox News on Tuesday.

Here is a quick group of places that go beyond Gaza and the West Bank that Israel has bombed or fought since October 7.

Iran. Israel and Iran have exchanged fire several times since October 7, but the most intense fighting occurred over 12 days in June. In that month, Israel launched the RISing Lion operation, targeting the main nuclear and military sites throughout Iran. In this operation, Israel killed a number of senior military leaders and nuclear scientists. Since then, a ceasefire has been held by the United States (which has also been involved and bombed Iran), but tensions are still high.

Lebanon. Israel and the Iranian -backed armed group in Hezbollah began to exchange fire routinely immediately after about 7 October. Then, almost a year ago, Israel launched a land invasion of Lebanon. The ceasefire was eventually reached in November 2024, but Israel did not withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon and continued to hit the targets inside the country-so this week.

Yemen. Soon after October 7, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen began to launch missiles and drones in Israeli targets-targeting the Israeli shipping ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis said that their actions were supporting the Palestinians in Gaza. Israel responded with strikes in Yemen, including this week. In August, an Israeli striker killed the Houthi -led government in Yemen, Ahmed Al -Rahwi.

Syria. After the collapse of Bashar al -Assad’s regime last year, the Israeli army made strikes in Syria to destroy the remaining military assets of the government. The Israeli army also sent the forces to parts of Syria and continued to conduct air strikes in the country. In July, Israel bombed the Syrian forces while moving to interfere in the sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweden. The Israeli government said it protects the Druze, a religious minority that also includes a large number of Israeli population.

Qatar. Israel had a blow to Doha on Tuesday. The operation targeted Hamas leaders while they were gathering to discuss the ceasefire proposal in Gaza. Hamas said its leaders had survived the attack, but five high members, including the son of Khalil Al -Hayya,, the main group negotiation, and the Qatari officials were killed. The Israeli strike – known first in Qatar – was strongly condemned by Doha and other Arab capitals. The Trump administration was also decisive, saying that the attack “does not strengthen the goals of Israel or America.”

The United Kingdom launched its ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandleson, because of his alleged close relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, the financier of the millionaire and the sexual perpetrator who died in prison in 2019. Mandson with Jeffrey Epstein is financially different from that known at the time of his appointment. “

In one of those emails that were obtained by Bloomberg NewsMandson expressed his support for Ibstein even when he reached the prison in 2008 to start spending time to seek sex from a minor, and writing: “I think your world is despair and anger about what happened.” He also urged Epstein to “struggle for early release.”

What should be on your radar, if not really.

Higseth speaks to China. US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth spoke to Chinese Defense Secretary Dong John on Tuesday’s video conference in his first conversation since Hegseth assumed the administration’s responsibility. According to a reading from the Pentagon, Higseth explained that the United States does not seek to conflict with China and does not continue to change the system or strangle PRC [People’s Republic of China]”A statement seemed to stand out in front of many China’s monitors in Washington as it is publicly reassured by Beijing.

The Chinese reading of the meeting followed more of the well destroyed land, with Dong Higseth’s warning that any attempts to use Taiwan to contain China are “failed” and that “containment or deterrence against China will not succeed.”

The American motorcycle gang in Gaza. Many members of the US motorcycle gang in the United States were with a documented history of phobia and calls for violence against Muslims, part of the security teams in the relief sites in Gaza, according to the BBC investigation published on Wednesday. At least 10 members of the Bicycle Club of the infidels – including its leader, Johnny Molford – were appointed by the UG Solutions security contractor to work on the relief sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF), a controversial organization supported by Israel and the United States to overcome the distribution of aid in the region. (Molford’s participation was reported for the first time Olive In August.)

In a joint statement with SITREP, GHF said it “maintains a strict tolerance policy towards any form of hateful or discriminatory behavior.” Molford “has not participated in GHF since August, and we have actively reviewing additional allegations.” UG solutions did not respond immediately on a request for comment.

NATO Poland on Russian drones. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed on Wednesday after Wednesday, after the Polish army shot down several Russian drones in the Polish air field.

Article 4 provides a mechanism for any NATO member to start consultations between the coalition leadership on a specific issue, with the possibility – but not a commitment – to collective work. It is wider but less escalating than the most famous Article 5, which states that the attack on a coalition member is treated as a attack on them all. The protest in Poland for Article 4 this week is the eighth time that the country has done in the history of NATO.

The Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of War? Although US President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week to change the name of the administration from the previous to the last, there is still a period of adaptation period – as it is clear from the programming at the Bellington Cyber ​​Security Summit in Washington, where Rishi spent most of this week in the reports. The addresses of the Pentagon speakers or its countless sub -cases were changed from DOD to DOW, which told the Step conference representative according to “DOD request to reflect the name change”.

Many of these speakers slipped, used names and abbreviations by exchange, or jokingly on this topic, which all pushed a muffled laugh from the audience throughout the conference. On Wednesday afternoon, John Gistka, the Pentagon director at Cyberwarfare, joked that he had a “war” in his title “before he was great.” This was followed by his participating security, Stysian Bustanik, Head of the Defense Department at the Industrial base at the industrial base, in its presentation with: “The Defense Industrial Base, I now believe in the name of the industrial base of the war.”

In order to change the name official (legally), Congress will have to issue legislation.

Friday, September 12: The ruling is expected to be issued in the Brazilian Supreme Court of condemnation of former President Gear Bolsonaro.

Monday, September 15, to Saturday, September 20: Syria held its first elections since the fall of Assad.

Wednesday, September 17: Trump is scheduled to visit the state to the United Kingdom.

“Our nation is broken.”
