Israel’s Minister of Finance Smotrich:

They will talk about a Palestinian dream – and we will continue to build a Jewish reality. This reality finally buries the idea of a Palestinian state, because there is nothing to recognize and no one to recognize it.

The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $346 million sale of munitions, precision bombs, and precision rockets to Nigeria.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich approved reviving the long-frozen E1 settlement plan, which would link Maale Adumim to Jerusalem and cut off East Jerusalem from the West Bank.

Critics say it would end the possibility of a Palestinian state. The plan, stalled since 2012 due to U.S. and international opposition, calls for 3,401 settler homes and still needs final approvals.

Turkish Defense Ministry sources:

Since the agreement signed on March 10, 2025, between the Syrian Government and the terrorist organization SDF, the SDF has not fulfilled any of the terms of the agreement and has continued actions that would undermine Syria’s political unity and territorial integrity.

The provocative and divisive behavior of the terrorist organization SDG is obstructing the process.

Macron:

Trump told us that the US and all willing allies should be part of security guarantees for Ukraine.

Trump clearly ruled out NATO being part of security guarantees for Ukraine.

US official to Axios:

Now, the onus is on Putin: agree to a ceasefire or show real movement or there will be severe repercussions.

US official to Axios:

Putin tapped Trump along, then requested this meeting, and now he has to deliver.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, a triathlete and skilled golfer, forged an unlikely back-channel relationship with Trump after a round of golf earlier this year.

Leveraging his rapport, Stubb has become a key conduit for European leaders and Ukraine to convey messages to Trump ahead of his summit with Putin. Drawing on Finland’s NATO ties, proximity to Russia, and his own U.S. background, Stubb has helped nudge Trump toward tougher stances on Mosco.
