Netanyahu Claims Syria Call Averted July 2025 Clashes; Damascus Silent

Netanyahu Claims Syria Call Averted July 2025 Clashes; Damascus Silent

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed he spoke with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in July 2025, averting further killings during clashes in southern Syria. Damascus has not confirmed the call, which Netanyahu disclosed on October 15, 2026, ahead of Israeli elections. Syrian officials rejected Israeli involvement in their internal affairs and attributed the end of Israeli airstrikes to US mediation. Despite ongoing US-brokered security talks, direct leader-level communication remains unacknowledged by Syria, with analysts viewing it as a tension-reduction step rather than a path to peace.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max features a 10,000 mAh battery that lasts over two and a half days, exceeding expectations. However, its performance is hampered by an 8GB RAM configuration and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, leading to a less-than-smooth experience, especially in demanding applications. The device offers a large screen, basic cameras, and AI features, but its hardware limitations prevent it from being a top-tier mid-range option despite its impressive battery life. The phone is priced at around 2,200 NIS.
