Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s 'bold decision,' claiming it 'changed history.' Meanwhile, Hamas slammed the strikes as a 'dangerous escalation,' echoing regional allies like Yemen’s Houthi group, which warned of war.
✌️ UN and Allies Push Peace
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged diplomacy, calling the strikes a 'dangerous escalation.' New Zealand, Australia, and Mexico joined the chorus for de-escalation, while U.S. Democrats accused Trump of risking 'another endless war.'
