Israeli Defense Minister Katz:

Hamas will learn the hard way today that the IDF is determined to protect its soldiers and prevent any harm to them.

We have instructed the IDF to act forcefully against Hamas terror targets in Gaza.

Hamas will pay a heavy price for any fire and violation of the ceasefire, and if the message is not understood – the intensity of the responses will continue to increase.

Trump:

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia.

It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America.

AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA.

The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc.

Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.

Colombian President Petro:

The United States wants Venezuela's and Guyana's oil, oil greed is what's behind the missiles over fishermen.

China’s state security ministry says the US spy agency carried out a cyberattack on the National Time Service Center and stole data.

He needs the society to support him, that is why he counts on the continuation of this war.
