Hegseth disclosed sensitive military strike details on Signal before attacks on Houthi militants, raising concerns over classified information leaks.

In Short

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed military strike details against Houthi militants in Yemen via group chat, insisting the information wasn’t classified.

This has raised concerns among lawmakers about the sensitivity of shared information and potential risks to U.S. troops.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed military strike details against Houthi militants via a group chat before the operation in Yemen.

Texts published by Atlantic magazine revealed specific timings and types of weaponry set to be used in the attack.

Hegseth confirmed sharing updates with Trump officials but claimed the information was not classified. He insisted he merely provided mission updates without revealing secret details typically guarded by the Pentagon.

The texts indicated that the weather was suitable for the operation and confirmed when the first bombs would be dropped.

‘Significant figure’

National security adviser Mike Waltz later reported that the strike had successfully targeted a significant Houthi figure.

Republican lawmakers expressed concern over the sensitivity of information shared, questioning whether it required classification.

Former officials stated that military targeting plans are typically classified to prevent adversaries from gaining insight into U.S. operations.

The White House defended the authenticity of the texts, insisting no classified material was disclosed.

Concerns were raised regarding the potential dangers posed to U.S. troops if sensitive strike details were intercepted.

The Pentagon recently warned military personnel about vulnerabilities in using the Signal app for sharing classified information.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
