Trump was initially told that Thursday’s ceasefire would cover the Middle East, including Lebanon—a view shared by mediators, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Iran’s Araghchi.

However, after a call between Netanyahu and Trump, the U.S. position shifted.

9-year-old Palestinian girl Ritaj Rihan was shot and killed by Israeli fire while sitting in class inside a makeshift tent classroom at Abu Ubaida Al-Jarrah School in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.

Trump lashes out at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones in a long Truth Social post:

They have one thing in common — low IQs.

They’re stupid people… everyone knows it.

Trump:

“Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit.

Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close!

Trump:

Tucker Carlson couldn’t even finish College... Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!

A large group of chimpanzees in Uganda’s Kibale National Park split into two rival factions, sparking a deadly conflict, according to a study in Science.

The group—once about 200 strong—lived cooperatively for decades, but began dividing around 2015 after key social males died and a new alpha rose to power. By 2018, the split was complete, with no remaining social ties.

The two groups then turned violent. The smaller faction launched coordinated attacks, killing adult males and later targeting infants. At least 24 chimpanzees have died so far, though the true number is likely higher.

The violence is still ongoing.

Netanyahu’s Office:

Pakistan Defence Minister’s call for Israel’s annihilation is outrageous.

This is not a statement that can be tolerated from any government, especially not from one that claims to be a neutral arbiter for peace.

Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel:

Concept of stepping down is not a part of our vocabulary.

Zelensky:

Ukraine has repeatedly stated that we are ready for mirror steps.

We proposed a ceasefire for the Easter holidays this year and will act accordingly.

People need an Easter without threats and a real movement towards peace, and Russia has a chance not to return to strikes after Easter.

BREAKING: Trump:

There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!

An Iranian delegation led by Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Islamabad for talks with the U.S.

Trump:

The Wall Street Journal, one of the worst and most inaccurate “Editorial Boards” in the World, stated that I “declared premature victory in Iran.”

Actually, it is a Victory, and there’s nothing “premature” about it! Because of me, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON and, very quickly, you’ll see Oil start flowing, with or without the help of Iran and, to me, it makes no difference, either way.

The Wall Street Journal will, as usual, live to eat their words. They are always quick to criticize, but never to admit when they’re wrong, which is most of the time!

Trump:

Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!,

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

Netanyahu wanted us to strike Iran. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike.

President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump.

Sen. John Fetterman:

If you have to pick a side, pick our side. Pick civilization. Pick Israel.

BIG: China quietly pushed Iran toward U.S. talks during the war, gaining diplomatic credit with Xi and Trump.

Beijing’s goal: build leverage ahead of their summit, where Xi is expected to press Trump to move closer to China’s position that Taiwan is a breakaway province that should ultimately reunify with the mainland.
