Israeli forces block worshippers from Al-Aqsa Mosque for second Friday in a row
Israeli forces once again closed all gates leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday, preventing worshippers from attending prayers for the second consecutive week, according to the Jerusalem Governorate. Israeli security forces stationed themselves at every entrance to the mosque, including Bab al-Hatta and Bab al-Silsila, allowing only a limited number of people to pass under what they claimed was a quota-based entry policy. Worshippers were also stopped at Bab al-Sahira, with their access to the Old City and Al-Aqsa blocked ahead of Friday prayers. Since 13 June, Israel has imposed sweeping restrictions on Al-Aqsa, including a full closure for six consecutive days. On Thursday, only 450 people were permitted to enter for noon prayers before Bab al-Hatta was shut again. Waqf staff were granted access under heavy surveillance, while Bab al-Maghariba was opened to allow settlers to enter the mosque compound. The Jerusalem Governorate condemned what it described as 'unprecedented encroachment' on religious freedoms and warned the policy aims to alter the historical and legal status quo of the site.

Iran open to uranium talks but rejects ‘zero enrichment' demand
A senior Iranian official has told Reuters that Tehran is prepared to discuss limits on its uranium enrichment programme, but made clear that demands for 'zero enrichment' are off the table. 'Such a demand would be undoubtedly rejected, especially now, under Israel's attacks,' the official said on Friday. While Iran currently refuses to engage directly with the United States, the official stressed that it sees a growing role for European powers—particularly the E3 group of Britain, France, and Germany. 'We need to hear the E3's initiative on the nuclear issue,' the official added, suggesting that any progress will depend on Europe's diplomatic approach amid rising regional tensions.

Pro-Palestine activists on electric scooters damage RAF planes and evade capture at UK airbase
Pro-Palestine activists have damaged two Royal Air Force (RAF) planes after breaking into the largest airbase in Britain early on Friday morning on electric scooters. Footage shared by Palestine Action (PA) shows two protesters riding scooters towards the RAF planes on the runway at the Brize Norton airbase, where they used "repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the turbine engines" and "caused further damage using crowbars". The activists then evaded security and escaped. The group announced on its website on Friday that the airbase was targeted because flights leave daily from there "for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East". "Red paint, symbolising Palestinian bloodshed, was also sprayed across the runway and a Palestine flag was left on the scene," Palestine Action said.
