Israel signals readiness for another Iran strike as Trump declares ceasefire over

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israel’s leaders are publicly signaling that their country is prepared to strike Iran for a third time, while a U.S. official tells Fox News Digital that Washington remains closely coordinated with Jerusalem.
«The IDF is on high alert and prepared to resume the campaign, regain air superiority, and carry out an independent Israeli strike against Iran to eliminate threats — even for a third time,» Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Minister Israel Katz said Thursday at a graduation ceremony for the Israeli Air Force’s newest pilots.
«If we have to return, we will return with even greater force,» Katz added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also warned Thursday that Israel’s campaign against Iran was not finished and said Tehran would not be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon, regardless of any agreement reached with Washington.
«The war has not yet ended,» Netanyahu said at the air force ceremony. «Alongside the old challenges, new challenges are emerging. Axes are falling, and axes are rising. We are paying attention to this. We are prepared for every scenario.»
Two Israeli sources told CNN Friday that the Trump administration does not currently want Israel to participate in the latest U.S. strikes against Iran.
«Netanyahu would really want to join the U.S. strikes, but the U.S. doesn’t want Israel involved at the moment,» one of the sources told CNN.
A U.S. official denied the report, telling Fox News Digital, «This is fake news. The United States has a strong relationship with Israel, which contributed to the resounding success of Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury. We remain in close coordination with our Israeli partners.»
Israel first launched a major campaign against Iran in June 2025, with the United States later joining the fighting by striking the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities. On Feb. 28, the two allies launched a new, coordinated military campaign against Iran.
While Israeli leaders are openly presenting the military as ready for another campaign, some Israeli officials and analysts say there is little appetite for renewed fighting unless it produces a clear strategic result.
The public warnings may overstate Israel’s desire to reenter the fighting, said Israeli analyst and journalist for Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth, Nadav Eyal.
«On the record, Israel is signaling that it is prepared and even eager to strike Iran. But off the record, sources are saying that it is anything but that,» Eyal told Fox News Digital. «The reason is clear: Any Israeli strike in Iran will lead to Iranian ballistic missile attacks against Israel.»
US CLAWS BACK KEY CONCESSION TO IRAN AFTER FRESH ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Eyal said the domestic political consequences could make Netanyahu reluctant to begin another round of fighting, particularly as Israel approaches another election.
«If these strikes are meant to provide meaningful, strategic change, it is something the prime minister can sell to the public,» Eyal said. «But if the intention is only to use Israel as leverage, why should Israelis again experience a couple of weeks or more of sitting in safe rooms and losing their summer vacations, children’s day camps and summer camps? That could play out badly for the prime minister politically.»
«The truth is that Israel was not really enthusiastic about another strike,» he added. «That doesn’t mean it is not going to happen. If President Trump demands that Netanyahu join, it is very hard to see the Israelis saying no. But right now, I don’t see any passion for it.»
The diplomatic outreach continued even as Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran was over.
«The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
A source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News that Qatari negotiators have traveled to Iran, in coordination with the United States, to meet with Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate the situation and create the conditions for negotiations to resume.
On Thursday, Netanyahu and Trump spoke by phone, according to the Israeli prime minister’s office, which said the two agreed to continue coordinating across several regional fronts. Trump briefed Netanyahu on American operations in the Gulf, the statement said.

The military warnings came as the Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Israel had provided the United States with intelligence about what is described as a fresh Iranian plot to assassinate Trump.
The developments follow renewed attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where U.S. naval officials said the maritime threat remained «severe.» U.S. Naval Forces Central Command reminded commercial vessels Friday that an expanded southern route through the strait remained open and that no controlling authority could require ships to pay a fee for passage.
A U.S. official told Fox News on background that Iran’s attacks against commercial vessels were «acts of terrorism» and constituted failed performance under the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.
«The United States is still committed to finding a resolution, and technical talks continue,» the official said. «Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.»
Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser, a former senior Israeli military intelligence officer who now heads the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, said Israel had never regarded the memorandum as an adequate guarantee.
«From Israel’s perspective, the MOU was never a good deal,» Kuperwasser told Fox News Digital, speaking of the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran.

«Israel should be on high alert, ready to face an Iranian attack and prepared to strike back if necessary,» he added.
For now, Israel’s leaders appear to be leaving Iran — and Washington — with little doubt that they are prepared to act. Whether the United States allows Israel to join the renewed campaign, however, could determine whether the latest confrontation remains limited or develops into another full-scale regional war.

Plataformas digitales de reparto a domicilio: alternativas y desafíos laborales en Guatemala

El trabajo a través de plataformas digitales se ha consolidado en Guatemala como una opción relevante para generar ingresos, especialmente para jóvenes y personas que encuentran barreras para acceder al empleo formal. Servicios como transporte, reparto, hospedaje, trabajo freelance y comercio electrónico han crecido en los últimos años, posicionándose como alternativas para quienes necesitan fuentes de ingreso flexibles y accesibles.
Según el Observatorio Centroamericano de Violencia Laboral, alrededor de 5.3 millones de personas trabajaban en el sector informal en 2025, lo que representa el 66% de la población económicamente activa. En este contexto, las plataformas digitales representan una vía para incorporarse al mercado laboral, aunque no están exentas de retos.
El boletín difundido por la Organización de Mujeres Salvadoreñas por la Paz (ORMUSA) advierte que estas modalidades de empleo presentan desafíos importantes. Entre ellos se destacan la falta de protección social, la inestabilidad de los ingresos y la precariedad de las condiciones laborales para quienes dependen de las plataformas como fuente principal o complementaria de sustento.

La participación de mujeres en las plataformas digitales continúa siendo menor que la de los hombres, lo que evidencia la persistencia de brechas de género en el acceso y las oportunidades laborales. Esta desigualdad refleja tendencias presentes en otros sectores y subraya la necesidad de políticas públicas que fomenten la equidad y mejoren las condiciones laborales para todos los trabajadores de la economía digital.
El análisis de ORMUSA y organizaciones aliadas enfatiza la urgencia de fortalecer la protección social y la estabilidad laboral en el sector de plataformas digitales, así como de promover la inclusión de las mujeres para avanzar hacia un empleo más justo en Guatemala.
En junio, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) aprobó en Ginebra un convenio para proteger a los trabajadores de plataformas digitales y equipararlos con el resto de los empleados en derechos como salario mínimo, seguridad social y resguardo frente al despido, una decisión que busca responder a la expansión de un modelo laboral transnacional y que entrará en vigor 12 meses después de que al menos dos Estados miembros lo ratifiquen.
La votación en la 114ª Conferencia Internacional del Trabajo se resolvió con 406 votos a favor, ocho en contra y 36 abstenciones, según informó el Diario de Centro América. El acuerdo fue respaldado por representantes de gobiernos, sindicatos y empleadores en la asamblea anual de la organización.

El texto fue adoptado tras años de debate y alcanza a trabajadores como conductores de aplicaciones internacionales. El objetivo es que sus condiciones no queden por fuera de estándares ya reconocidos para otros asalariados.
Sukti Dasgupta, directora del Departamento de Condiciones de Trabajo e Igualdad de la OIT, explicó que el nuevo instrumento pretende llevar derechos y beneficios a personas que no están en una relación laboral formal y que hasta ahora quedaban en gran medida fuera de marcos concebidos para asalariados. Añadió que el convenio busca una correcta clasificación de la relación laboral en un entorno digital donde muchos trabajadores no tienen contratación formal.
Dasgupta dijo que tras lo escuchado en el plenario parece haber suficiente interés para alcanzar con rapidez las dos ratificaciones necesarias. La funcionaria añadió que, incluso si algunos países no lo ratifican, el convenio servirá como orientación normativa general. En los Estados que sí lo adopten, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo podrá intervenir mediante su mecanismo de supervisión si se presentan denuncias por incumplimientos.

Ex-‘Squad’ member fights for comeback as socialist wing ramps up war on Dem establishment

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
One of the most outspoken members of the «Squad» is plotting her return to Congress as a wave of socialist insurgency continues to batter establishment Democrats across the country.
Former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is running to get her old seat back representing Missouri’s 1st Congressional District after losing to incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., in November 2024. It’s another battle in the wider civil war that’s taking place within the Democratic Party.
Missouri’s primary elections are this Tuesday, and Bush has spent weeks blasting Bell for his pro-Israel stance and accusing him of being tied too closely to Republicans.
In her latest ad released on Thursday, Bush accused Bell of not doing enough to help St. Louis recover from a May 2025 tornado and instead «jetting off to Israel with AIPAC.»

She posted on X alongside the ad, «When the disaster caused $1.6 billion in damages and took several lives, Wesley responded by hopping on a flight to Israel funded by Trump’s donors less than 90 days later.»
Earlier this month, she posted, «Wesley Bell is a former Republican campaign manager who is bought and paid for by AIPAC. On August 4th, we’re going back to DC, and we’ll do it with no corporate cash or AIPAC-funded trips.»
BERNIE SANDERS AIMS TO BLOCK SALE OF BOMBS AND BULLDOZERS TO ISRAEL, ACCUSING US ALLY OF ‘GENOCIDE’
When reached for comment on Bush’s criticism, Bell’s campaign pointed Fox News Digital to a recent debate between the two on St. Louis Public Radio, specifically Bell’s response to a question on the tornado.
«Once the tornado hit here, I got right to work. I was on the ground immediately, but also working with our delegation, which, you all know, is six Republicans and only myself and [Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo.],» Bell said. «And so I got on the phone with each one of them. Sometimes that meant sitting in their offices as well, to explain to them how important it was for them to join me in making certain that St. Louis got the resources that folks here needed. So I’m proud of the fact that we were able to get over $200 million and counting in FEMA disaster relief, but we still got more to do.»

Bell’s campaign also shared an ad with Fox News Digital in which a constituent called Bush’s attacks on Bell «just politics» while defending his response to the tornado.
«Wesley Bell’s taken on Trump. He’s fighting for me and my neighbors,» the constituent said.
The issue of U.S.-Israel relations has been fueling an ever-growing fracture within the Democratic Party since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish nation-state.
The two-term progressive firebrand was one of Congress’ harshest critics of Israel and its operation in Gaza, well before it became a more mainstream position in the party. She had accused Israel’s government of waging a genocide on Palestinians and consistently voted against emergency funding for the Middle Eastern ally.

Bush blamed her narrow 2024 loss to Bell on hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by pro-Israel groups, including those affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), from outside the district.
The rematch comes as candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) continue to shake up primaries across the country.
DSA candidates are posing a challenge for more establishment Democrats in gubernatorial races like Wisconsin and a Senate race in Michigan, and have even successfully toppled House Democratic incumbents in New York and Colorado.
Bush is also a member of the DSA.
