NEW: Trump says he hasn’t heard from Iran about reports it’s suspending talks with the U.S., but if true, “that’s OK.”

“I think we’ve been talking too much… going silent would be very good.”

He said silence “doesn’t mean we’re going to start dropping bombs,” adding: “We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel.”

Asked if he can wait Iran out: “I think I can wait as long as they want. They’re losing a fortune.”

Rifat Odeh Kassis | Christian Rights Activist | Kairos Palestine:
 

The Bible must not be weaponized against Palestinians. 
 
The Bible must be read through the lens of the vulnerable - centered on justice, mercy & human dignity.
 
This is not a conflict between two equal parties. It is occupation. It is an apartheid. It is a genocide.
 
If God is a God of life, systems that destroy life are of theological concern.
 
Faith cannot be neutral in the face of systematic injustice. Silence amid oppression distorts the Gospel.

Senior Russian finance and central bank officials have warned Putin that current military spending risks sharply widening the budget deficit.

They have proposed further defense spending cuts, arguing that Russia’s public finances will be difficult to stabilize without them.

The warnings are the clearest sign yet of internal disagreement within Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine.

Putin has reportedly instructed the Finance Ministry to find savings elsewhere in the budget before considering cuts to defense spending.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry:

A violation of the ceasefire on any front constitutes a violation of the ceasefire as a whole.

British delegation at the same humiliation ritual in Israel:

Father, forgive the church for being silent and therefore complicit in what is taking place.

Would you turn the hearts of our leaders in both government and the church, along with the people of our nation, back to honoring you and your word, so that as a nation we would once again stand with support and be a friend to Israel and to the Jewish people?

BREAKING: Trump:

I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back.

Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.

French President Macron:

Too many people believe Europe is still very slow. I don't want to take it for granted, but we are improving—and we have improved.

We accelerate like crazy, and we will keep on accelerating.

The Palestinian Authority needs to be dismantled. The lines of Areas A, B, and C need to be erased.

The Oslo Accords — this terrible disaster — need to be erased.

We need to take control of the entire territory.

Europeans have to be on our side in the war against Iran because it's the good guys versus the bad guys.
