I am expected to arrive in Israel in the coming days.

They want me to speak in the Knesset, and I will certainly do so if they want it.

Trump to Axios:

The whole world came together to reach this agreement, including countries that were once enemies.

Gaza is going to be a much safer place, and it's going to be a place that reconstructs — and other countries in the area will help it reconstruct because they have tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that happen.

Trump:

I spoke to Bibi Netanyahu just a little while ago... I said, "Israel cannot fight the world, Bibi. They can't fight the world."

Trump:

The hostages are going to be released — our time would be probably Monday... We think they'll all be coming back on Monday, and that'll include the bodies of the dead.

Kuwaiti Sheikh Salem al-Tawil on Sumud Flotilla activists:

Different religions, different sects, and disbelievers. What did they unite upon? They tell you they are heroes.

Did they go out with the permission of the ruler? They did not go out with the permission of the ruler.

In fact, we are certain that the ruler would not permit such a thing in the first place. Meaning, he forbids this.

These people should not, should not be called heroes. Instead, they should be called what? Transgressors who deserve punishment.

Italy’s ruling Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia) party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, introduced a new bill to combat what it calls “Islamic and cultural separatism.”

The proposal would impose a nationwide ban on full-face veils and enforce strict oversight of mosque funding, expanding existing regional laws.

Face-Covering Ban: Prohibits wearing full-face veils (burqa, niqab) in all public areas — streets, schools, shops, and offices.

Fines: €300–€3,000 (no criminal charges).

Mosque Financing: Muslim associations (which lack formal state recognition) must disclose all funding sources. Foreign funding considered a “threat to Italian values” may be banned or frozen.

Sudan: It is alleged that UAE-backed RSF militants struck a mosque in El-Fasher, killing 13 people.
