A luxury private jet owned by Florida property tycoon Gil Dezer, a longtime business partner and donor to Trump, was used by US immigration authorities to deport Palestinian men from the US to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a Guardian investigation has found.

In January and February, the jet flew groups of Palestinians detained by ICE from Arizona to Tel Aviv. Upon arrival, Israeli authorities transferred them to West Bank checkpoints, where they were released with little assistance. Several deportees said they were shackled during the long-haul flights.

One man, Maher Awad, 24, had lived in the US for nearly a decade and has a partner and infant son in Michigan. He said he was dropped at a checkpoint “like an animal” and had no contact with his family for months.

The US State Department plans to fund MAGA-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe to promote American policy positions and oppose European online speech regulations.

The initiative, tied to US 250th anniversary celebrations, has involved outreach to right-wing groups in the UK and across major European capitals.

European governments worry the funding could undermine their domestic policies, especially laws like the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s Digital Services Act.

US officials insist the grants are transparent and aimed at advancing US values, not interfering in allies’ politics.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

If the United States launches an attack against us, we do not have the capability to attack its territory, so we would target American bases in the region.

This would draw the entire region into war. We do not attack neighboring countries; we target American bases.

There is a big difference between the two.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

Israel’s expansionist project requires neighboring countries to be weakened militarily, technologically, economically, and socially, so that the Israeli regime permanently enjoys the upper hand.

Under this project, Israel is free to expand its military arsenal without limits, including weapons of mass destruction, which remain outside any inspection.
