❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Trump has clarified that he didn't 'stop' Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear sites but did not 'make it comfortable' for them, preferring a deal over military action

He expressed no concern about Netanyahu dragging the U.S. into war, stating that the U.S. will not be 'unwillingly involved,' and he would willingly engage if a deal isn't reached.

He adds that 'By the way, he [Netanyahu] may go into a war' and says that U.S. will not stay out of it.

🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: Reuters has released the full text of the 'Trump Peace Plan' to end the war in Ukraine

Some of the key points:

– Permanent Ceasefire

– Ukraine will not seek NATO membership

– Ukraine allowed to pursue EU membership

– The U.S. formally recognizes Crimea as part of Russia

– The U.S. 'de-facto' recognizes the Russian-controlled parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia (non-recognition), while territory in Kharkov region goes back to Ukraine

– The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will come under U.S. Administration

– The Kakhovka Dam and Hydroelectric Plant in Kherson will come under U.S. Administration (The 'Kakhovka' Dam was destroyed in 2023)

– Ukraine gets passage rites through the Dnieper River and regains control of the 'Kinburn Spit' which sits at the mouth of the Dnieper

– Sanctions relief for Russia

Zelensky and the Europeans have expressed dissatisfaction and already sent a new proposal to Trump, it will already be null and void by the time it is proposed to Russia today.

The survey found that 72% disapprove of Trump's job performance (67% strongly disapprove), while 24% approve (16% strongly approve), and 5% are unsure.

Regarding his handling of antisemitism, 56% disapprove, and 31% approve, with the remainder uncertain.

🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: Reuters has released the full text of the 'Trump Peace Plan' to end the war in Ukraine Some of the key points: – Permanent Ceasefire – Ukraine will not seek NATO membership – Ukraine allowed to pursue EU membership – The U.S. formally…
🇷🇺/🇺🇦 The full EU-Ukraine counterproposal (truly delusional):

– Unconditional permanent ceasefire in land, sky and sea.

– Ukraine receives security guarantees from the US similar to NATO's Article-5.

– No restrictions on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and foreign militaries have the right to be stationed in Ukraine.

– Ukraine to get access to the EU.

– Ukraine will regain control over the Zaporizhia NPP and Kakhova Dam, and the Kinburn Spit (mouth of the Dnieper), with unrestricted passage rights on the Dnieper.

– Any other 'territorial questions' will be negotiated after the ceasefire (in other words: Russia gets nothing).

– US-Ukraine minerals deal & full compensation of Ukrainian economy, including reparations using frozen Russian assets.

– 'Gradual easing' of sanctions on Russia, with a snap-back mechanism in case of ceasefire breach.

🇸🇦/🇮🇷 NOTE: Trump's statement that 'he thinks' Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords is likely inaccurate, and just another 'Trumpism' – his own opinion, nothing else

King Salman informed Iran in a personal letter to Ayatollah Khamenei that Saudi Arabia will not normalize ties with Israel unless there is a broad recognition of a fully independent Palestinian state, which will not be the case any time soon.

Of course, Iran rejects any normalization with Israel, even in case of a Palestinian state, but this statement from Saudi Arabia was received positively, because it was assumed that they would normalize with Israel regardless of the Palestinian issue, which turned out to be not the case.

Saudi Arabia now has much more to lose than to gain. The U.S. is already going ahead with providing a civilian nuclear program for the Saudis – something that was initially seen as only being possible after normalization. With this, the main incentive for Saudi Arabia to normalize ties with Israel is gone.

Trump often claims things that are simply untrue, like when he claimed that Egypt and Jordan were 'very positive' about his proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza, when in reality, it was unanimously rejected and condemned.
