❗️ Gaza aid flotilla boats attacked by drones overnight
Organizers of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud aid flotilla said several of their vessels near Greece came under drone harassment and explosions overnight. The flotilla reported “multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats.”
Footage from the Spectre boat captured one of the blasts, while a video by Enzo Pianetti aboard Sirius showed mast lights dotting the horizon as ships clustered together, with explosions breaking out intermittently.
Captains coordinated positions through the night as drones circled overhead. Activists said at least 12 explosions hit nine boats, keeping crews on high alert.
Earlier accounts said a drone sprayed chemicals on a passenger, though no injuries were reported. Another video showed a flash bang striking a ship and destroying its main mast.

❗️Colombian president calls for 'international army' to liberate Palestine
Colombian President Gustavo Petro told the UN General Assembly that the world must form an international army to “liberate Palestine” and confront genocide in Gaza.
He urged nations opposed to US and NATO-backed “tyranny and totalitarianism” to unite their forces, declaring, “We need a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide … we must liberate Palestine.”
Petro’s appeal echoed Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who pledged 20,000 soldiers for such a force.
Chilean President Gabriel Boric, also addressing the UN, called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to face trial for genocide in Gaza, likening the atrocities to Rwanda and the Balkans.

❗️Spain joins Italy in sending naval support for Gaza flotilla
Spain will dispatch a naval vessel Thursday to support the Global Sumud Flotilla after reports of drone attacks on the aid convoy, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced in New York. “A maritime action vessel equipped with all the necessary resources will set sail from Cartagena tomorrow in case it is necessary to assist the flotilla and carry out any rescues,” he said.
The move follows Italy’s decision to send the frigate Fasan to assist its citizens and provide relief. Madrid and Rome have coordinated the deployment, and Spain’s Defense Ministry confirmed talks with Italy on expanding cooperation, possibly involving Ireland. Officials stressed the mission is humanitarian and limited to international waters, not aimed at confronting Israel.
The flotilla of about 50 ships set sail to break Israel’s blockade and deliver medical aid to Gaza. Organizers said 12 blasts hit nine ships in international waters, blaming repeated drone attacks. Israel, which has threatened to block the flotilla, has not commented.

❗️Syria and Israel near ‘de-escalation’ deal, Barrack says
Syria and Israel are nearing a "de-escalation" deal under which Israel would halt its strikes and Syria would refrain from moving machinery or heavy equipment near the border, US Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack said.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Barrack noted that the arrangement would mark an initial step toward a broader 'security agreement' the two sides have been negotiating.
President Donald Trump has been pushing for an accord to be finalized this week, but Barrack noted that progress has been limited and that the Rosh Hashana holiday has slowed talks.
"I think everybody is approaching it in good faith," Barrack said.

– "If we cannot reach a security agreement with Israel that preserves Syria’s sovereignty, the Middle East will face a new wave of turmoil."
– "We are not the ones causing problems for Israel; we are afraid of Israel, not the other way around."

❗️Spain imposes total arms embargo on Israel over Gaza genocide
Spain has approved a sweeping decree imposing a total arms embargo on Israel, in what Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez described as a step to halt “the genocide in Gaza.” The measure bans all exports and imports of defense materials, dual-use technologies, and aircraft fuel with military applications. It also prohibits imports and advertising of goods from Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.
Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo called it a “pioneering step at the international level” and said it codifies restrictions already applied since the start of Israel’s offensive on Gaza.
The decree, which comes into force immediately, is part of a package of nine measures Sanchez unveiled earlier this month. While hailed as a bold move, it still requires parliamentary approval, where Sanchez’s left-wing coalition lacks a majority. The Spanish government framed the embargo as both a legal and moral obligation to confront Israeli war crimes, marking one of the most far-reaching actions taken by a Western country against Tel Aviv during its Gaza campaign.

❗️Key takeaways from Qatari emir’s UNGA speech:
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani told the UN General Assembly that Israel’s war on Gaza amounts to ethnic cleansing and undermines ceasefire efforts.
He condemned Israel’s strike in Doha, vowed to continue mediation with Egypt and the US, and accused Tel Aviv of destroying Gaza to force displacement while pursuing annexation in the West Bank and altering Al-Aqsa’s status quo. He reiterated support for a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and highlighted Qatar’s wider role as a mediator in regional and global crises.

❗️US and Lebanese navies stage joint patrol in Mediterranean
US Central Command said a joint patrol was carried out in the Mediterranean involving the destroyer USS Mitscher and two Lebanese Navy vessels.
The statement described the drills as part of efforts to enhance “interoperability” through training and operational support.
The patrol follows Washington’s approval of a $14.2m security package for Lebanon aimed at building the army’s capacity to dismantle weapons caches of armed groups, including Hezbollah.
The Pentagon said the goal is to “empower” the Lebanese Armed Forces to degrade groups backed by Iran.
Reports also indicate the US has threatened to withdraw aid unless Beirut accelerates its disarmament push.

⭕️ Bloomberg: China’s crude imports from Indonesia may mask Iranian flows
Bloomberg reported that China’s August crude imports from Indonesia surged to 2.7m tons - levels far above Indonesia’s own production - in what it suggested could signal rebranded Iranian oil shipments.
The outlet cited customs data, vessel-tracking records, and analysts pointing to tankers signaling Indonesia’s Kabil port before discharging in China, despite the port lacking crude-export facilities.
Bloomberg stressed that the pattern is unusual and “suggests” Iranian cargoes are being delivered under new arrangements, though it did not confirm this as fact.
The report also quoted a US-based advocacy group claiming the trade continues through ship-to-ship transfers despite US sanctions.
