The band Bob Vylan led a chant of “Death, death to the I.D.F.” at Britain’s biggest music festival. A senior State Department official said the band’s U.S. visas had been revoked.

By Paul Sandle GLASTONBURY, England (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Glastonbury organisers said on Sunday they were appalled by on-stage chanting against the Israeli military during a performance at the festival by Punk-rap duo Bob Vylan.

"I said what I said," English punk singer Bobby Vylan wrote in a statement after drawing backlash for his comments onstage.

Israel has become more militarily dominant in the Middle East than at any time in its history. But its success has also laid the groundwork for future risks.

Israel’s military is shifting its focus back to Gaza from its airborne operations against Iran, the military chief of staff Eyal Zamir said. "We have concluded a significant phase," Zamir said. “Now the focus shifts back to Gaza—to bring the hostages home and to dismantle the Hamas regime.

A top adviser to Israel's prime minister is set to travel to Washington this week for talks, but it’s unclear if any significant progress has been made.

US President Donald Trump claims a ceasefire in Gaza is possible within a week. One of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's closest aides is in Washington, DC this week, and Trump's Middle East envoy is reportedly holding talks with Hamas to secure a deal.
