U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau:

India should understand that we’re not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago,

In terms of saying, "Oh, you know, we’re going to let you be able to develop all these markets," and then the next thing we know, you’re beating us in a lot of commercial things.

We’re going to make sure that whatever we do, it’s fair to our people, because ultimately we have to be accountable to our own people, just as the government of India has to be accountable to its people.

Trump's giant banner gets stoned by Iranians during Khamenei's funeral procession.

Lukashenko said his country "does not want war" but "will not bow to the enemy."

"We are a peaceful people. We do not want to fight, but we will not bow our heads before the enemy," Lukashenko said.

Kremlin:

Trump is open to listening to the information that Putin conveys to him.

Kremlin:

Trump's position on Ukraine is consistent; he is confident in his own understanding of what is happening in Ukraine.

Europe’s relationship with Palantir is beginning to shift.

Across 2025–2026, a growing number of European governments, intelligence agencies and public institutions have moved to block new contracts, replace existing systems, or reduce dependence on the U.S. data analytics company.

The common concern: data sovereignty, strategic autonomy, and keeping sensitive government data under European control.

Here’s where each country stands.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel on Skin Colour, Immigration, and Same-Sex Families:

Interviewer: During the campaign, you had your wife with you; she was born in Sri Lanka. Is something like this ever discussed at home, since it is, after all, a central issue here?

Alice Weidel: This is not about skin colour. And my wife, as you have once again done, is being labelled as having a migration background.

My wife is Swiss and was adopted, and accordingly she does not see herself as having a migration background. Those are completely different things.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel on Same-Sex Families:

Well, we now live in a very different reality. Same-sex relationships must be treated as equal.

But if, as a politician, I speak of a social ideal, and that is the traditional family, then I can advocate for that. It is not a contradiction.

James Fishback in Florida is openly saying he doesn't want to give $385 million to Israel & wants to keep it in Florida.
 
Israeli media says this may be the final Congress & president willing to listen to Israel because they have lost a generation of Americans about to come into power.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

Zohran Mamdani was 20 points behind Cuomo. The turning point was him saying he wouldn't visit Israel & stay in New York.
 
Adam Hamway in New Jersey & Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania won the primary as anti-AIPAC candidates.
 
Anna Lilia Mejia beat the incumbent Malinowski - despite AIPAC backing him - running as pro-Palestinian & anti-genocide.
 
In France, a petition protesting the bill equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism became the second most-signed petition in French history. The bill failed.
 
In Germany, Scholz supported Israel on every front - then quickly reversed on the Iran war & refused Trump's request to involve due to domestic pressure.
 
The shift is structural. Being pro-Israel was once a political asset. It has now become a political liability.

NOW: NATO's Rutte arrives in Ankara for the NATO Summit.

Netanyahu:

Iran is a nation of about 90 million. About 80% of them hate this regime.

But you still have quite a few million that they can bring to the streets.

And they are screaming, "Death to Trump" and "Death to me," of course.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

Ta-Nehisi Coates went to visit a Palestinian woman to vote for Kamala Harris & she told him Israel killed 200 of her family members.
 
He said convincing her to vote for Harris would have required giving up some of his own humanity so he didn't try to.
 
He said telling people to set aside genocide for "other issues" is something no African-American would have accepted during slavery.
 
In the UK, Starmer won a landslide - then resigned after council elections, because people no longer believe in a vision that tolerates genocide.
 
Politics is becoming more humanized. People are now asking candidates where they stand on moral issues.

FULL INTERVIEW

Q: Why is that government still standing in Iran?

Netanyahu: Because it has a few hundred thousand goons who kill, murder in broad daylight, and at night they murder their own people.

Netanyahu on Trump:

We see eye to eye just about everything, and sometimes as happens among the best of allies — and we are the best of allies — there can be differences of opinion.

We're your model ally.

Netanyahu on his upcoming visit to the U.S:

Well, we haven't yet set a date for the visit.

WATCH: Netanyahu on Türkiye:

I don't think they should be given F-35s or the engines for their fighter jets, because that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also by, I think, America's posture in the Middle East.
