After US President Donald Trump warned Iran on Friday of intervention if authorities in the Middle Eastern country “violently kill” peaceful protesters, a top official of the Islamic Republic said any interference by Washington would mean “destabilising the entire region and destroying America’s interests”. “If Iran shots [sic] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. Reacting to his statement, Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, posted on X: “With the statements by Israeli officials and Donald Trump, what has been going on behind the scenes is now clear. “We distinguish between the stance of the protesting shopkeepers and the actions of disruptive actors, and Trump should know that US interference in this internal matter would mean destabilising the entire region and destroying America’s interests.” He added, “The Ame...

Eagle-eyed users were quick to point out that the image Trump posted on Truth Social, featured in Haaretz in 2017, was taken in Israel. 'Is he the eagle and Bibi the windmill?' one user wondered. 'Our own fucking president can't tell a falcon and bald eagle apart,' another said

Israel PM also praised Trump for pushing for his pardon in his ongoing criminal trials, lamenting what he dismissed as '10 years of bogus investigations and a political trial'

Netanyahu's decision to award Trump with this year's Israel Prize raises the question of whether it should be leveraged to pay homage to another country's head of state, on a day dedicated to the country's independence

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced U.S. President Trump would receive the prize at a press conference in Mar-a-Lago on Monday and invited him to celebrate Independence Day in Israel. Trump said he would consider attending the ceremony in Jerusalem

Answering reporters' questions ahead of his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump repeated his support for a pardon of Netanyahu in his criminal corruption trials, adding that Israel 'would not exist' without him as a wartime prime minister

Trump declined to say if the military or CIA was involved or where it occurred.

Trump said he would back military action if Iran continued building up its nuclear capabilities. He also said he hopes to move to the next stage of the Gaza cease-fire 'quickly,' and that there 'has to be a disarmament of Hamas.' According to Trump, he and Netanyahu 'don't agree 100 percent' on West Bank policies

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Monday to hold crucial talks on Gaza and Iran. The US president will push the Israeli leader to move to the next stage of his fragile Gaza truce plan. Netanyahu is also expected to try to shift some focus onto Iran, amid reports he will call for more US strikes on the Islamic republic’s nuclear program. The meeting, the fifth between the two leaders to be held in the United States this year, comes as some White House officials fear both Israel and Hamas are slow-walking the second phase of their ceasefire. Trump, who said Netanyahu had asked for the talks, is reportedly keen to announce as soon as January a Palestinian technocratic government for Gaza, and the deployment of an international stabilisation force. Netanyahu’s office said he met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Florida ahead of his talks with Trump, which are scheduled for 1pm (1800 GMT). Israeli governme...

În ciuda faptului că s-au vehiculat procente apropiate de 100% privind ajungerea la un acord și s-au făcut declarații optimiste, summitul de la Mar-a-Lago dintre președinții Trump și Zelenski nu va aduce rezultate spetaculoase, spune politologul Sergiu Mișcoiu.

Sources familiar with the details of the visit said they are struggling to assess whether Trump will take a friendly or hostile approach toward Netanyahu. 'With Trump, you never know,' one said

If Trump truly wants peace, he must force Netanyahu to move on to the second phase of the agreement and put a price on any attempt to delay, drag his feet or play for time. Such tactics are meant to benefit only Netanyahu and his government

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump denkt dat er snel een akkoord kan komen om de oorlog tussen Rusland en Oekraïne beëindigen. Er liggen nog 'enkele netelige kwesties' op tafel, waar Oekraïne en Rusland van Trump zelf uit moeten komen.

Zelensky en Trump spraken over een goed, productief gesprek. Volgens de Amerikaanse president zijn er nog een of twee lastige punten.

United States President Donald Trump said on Sunday he had “a good and very productive” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Florida later today. He did not provide details about what was discussed. Meanwhile, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported that the pair had spoken, citing Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote that the meeting would take place in the main dining room of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida’s Palm Beach at 1pm (11pm PKT). “Press is invited,” the US president wrote. Zelensky and Trump intend to hammer out a plan to end the war in Ukraine, but face major differences on crucial issues and provocations from Russian air attacks. Russia struck Kyiv and other parts of war-torn Ukraine with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday, knocking out power and heat in parts of the capital. Zelensky called it Russia’s response to the ongoing US-brokered peace efforts. Zelensky has told jou...

Trump‑era tariffs, bruising rate realities and a burned‑out memecoin cycle are forcing crypto to shed its Peter Pan phase and build tokens with real utility, says Animoca Brands’ Yat Siu. For Animoca Brands co‑founder Yat Siu, 2025 will be remembered as “the Trump year,” not because US President Donald Trump saved crypto, but because the industry bet too heavily on him and mispriced everything from tariffs to rate cuts. Trump was supposed to be crypto’s cheat code in 2025. Instead, Bitcoin (BTC) is limping into the year’s end, facing its fourth annual decline in history. Memecoin liquidity has been sucked into political side quests, and one of the sector’s longest‑running builders thinks the market over‑trusted the new president.​ “If I had to give it a grade, I would say B-/C+,” Siu said. Traders treated Trump as if crypto were his “first child,” he says, when in reality, “we’re probably his third, fourth or fifth child, maybe even an eighth child.” Read more

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will depart for the United States on Sunday and meet with President Donald Trump in Florida a day later, an Israeli official told AFP. It will be Netanyahu’s fifth visit to see Trump in the United States this year. His trip comes as the Trump administration and regional mediators push to proceed to the second stage of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Trump told reporters in mid-December that Netanyahu would probably visit him in Florida during the Christmas holidays. “He would like to see me. We haven’t set it up formally, but he’d like to see me,” Trump said before leaving for his Mar-a-Lago resort. Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on Wednesday that a wide range of regional issues was expected to be discussed, including Iran, talks on an Israel-Syria security agreement, the ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the next stages of the Gaza deal. Progress in moving to the second phase of October’s Gaza ceasefire agreement, which w...
