NEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the IDF to carry out strikes in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district.

Canada is moving toward a split fighter jet order — roughly 30 F-35s and 60 Swedish Gripens — as PM Carney seeks to reduce military dependence on the US.

Saab has offered to manufacture Gripens for both Canada and Ukraine on Canadian soil, potentially creating 9,000 jobs.

WATCH: Israeli Knesset hosted an event where Christian delegations publicly repented on behalf of their nations for "insufficient support" of Israel.

One German cried:

Lord, please forgive us for all the things we did that did not support Israel!

Sky is exiting its 14-year joint venture with the UAE's IMI — controlled by Sheikh Mansour, owner of Manchester City — over Sky News Arabia's coverage of Sudan, which critics accused of denying genocide committed by the UAE-backed RSF paramilitary group.

Sky will relinquish operational control but allow the channel to keep its name under a brand licensing deal.

Sky News Arabia functions as a de facto PR outlet for the RSF, downplaying atrocities and framing the war in ways that served UAE foreign policy interests.

Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

A ceasefire in Lebanon is an inseparable part of any ceasefire and any final agreement to end the war.

It is not only the Zionist regime that is committing widespread violations of the ceasefire in this manner. America, too, in our region is committing violations of the ceasefire.

We will not hesitate to take any action we deem necessary to defend the national security of Iran, and to defend a situation that we believe provides and guarantees the security of Iran and the security of the region.

Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

The opposing party constantly changes its stance, raises new or contradictory demands, and issues different, contradictory, and inconsistent messages in the media — it is natural that this situation prolongs the negotiation process.

One of the very clear reasons for the recent escalation of crimes by the Zionist regime in Lebanon can be nothing other than the destruction of any possibility, any glimmer of hope, that diplomatic efforts might lead to some improvement in the situation.

We cannot view the US and the Zionist regime as two separate entities.

Whatever is happening in Lebanon, whatever has happened in our region — the United States is undoubtedly a constant participant.

The US is held responsible for the consequences and repercussions of its unconditional support for the Zionist regime.

Korean woman at the same humiliation ritual in Israel:

Father, forgive the nation of Korea, who has spoken the word against Israel!

Japan's crude oil inventories have fallen by roughly 70–100 million barrels since March, the largest drawdown in the country's history.

Pakistan's Rocket Force Commander Lt Gen Nauman Zakaria on India:

I'll share the first two words of the mission given to my army by the government of Pakistan: 'Deter war.'

The primary mission of the Pakistan military is to deter war.

We'll do what we have done always.

We did it last Feb 27, last year, for everybody to watch.

Indonesia: A suspected WWII-era bomb exploded beneath a stilt house in a fishing village in Biak, Papua; killing 5 and wounding nearly 20.

Biak was the site of intense 1944 Allied-Japanese fighting; unexploded ordnance from that campaign still surfaces in the area more than 80 years later.

Several homes were destroyed, and authorities have cordoned off the area over fears of secondary blasts.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer:

For millennia, let them hear that loud and clear. The Jewish people have yearned for a state of Israel whilst experiencing the constant anxiety of knowing the place where they lived could violently expel them at any moment.

It has happened again and again. We cannot, we must not go back to that era.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer:

I believe in the state of Israel. I support the state of Israel.

If there had been a state of Israel in 1941, dozens of my ancestors would have been able to flee Nazi persecution.

Five workers were killed and two injured in an explosion at Hanwha Aerospace's rocket propellant factory in Daejeon, South Korea.

The blast occurred on a solid rocket fuel production line during what is believed to have been cleaning or maintenance work.

It's the third deadly explosion at the same facility — after incidents in May 2018 (2 killed) and February 2019 (3 killed).

Satellite imagery from May 29 shows a 252-meter vessel on fire at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, with four suspected IRGC large speedboats approaching from the Iranian direction and a fifth departing southeast.

IRGC Navy releases footage of fast-boat patrols in the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as round-the-clock routine operations.

The boats are tasked with "guiding" transiting vessels — and stopping any that ignore warnings.

Senator Jon Ossoff:

The Mar-a-Lago mafia has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.

But corruption in America runs a lot deeper than Donald Trump.

American politics is coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out.

And that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt.
