Israel's security cabinet has allocated 1.3 billion shekels to establish 34 new settlements in the occupied West Bank – despite international condemnation and UN warnings that the policy is fragmenting Palestinian territory and destroying any viable two‑state solution.

🔴 What the announcement means:

💰 $431 million approved for 34 new settlements – with another $357 million for roads.

📈 103 settlements approved in total over the past year – a record high.

🗣️ Finance Minister Smotrich: "We are killing the idea of establishing a terrorist state in the heart of the country. A day of celebration for Israel and settlements."

🛤️🇵🇰🇧🇾 BELARUS-PAKISTAN CORRIDOR: What Western Powers Missed

This is not just a trade route. It is a signal of multipolarity 2026 – where middle powers build alternative corridors, bypass Western sanctions, and redefine global influence through strategic autonomy.

🧭 Eurasian trade corridor – Belarus and Pakistan are building a route that bypasses Western-controlled chokepoints and sanctions regimes.

🛡️ Pakistan's defense industry shift – seeking technological independence, moving away from traditional Western suppliers.

🇮🇳🇷🇺 India-Russia defense partnership – enabling BrahMos missile exports to Indonesia and Vietnam, reshaping regional military balances.

🇦🇪🇷🇺 UAE-Russia trade hub – the Gulf is becoming a financial node for non-dollar transactions.

🌍 Non‑aligned movement 2.0 – utility replaces loyalty. Nations are forming overlapping alliances based on national interest, not bloc loyalty.

🇷🇺🛡️ BALTIC "HORROR STORIES" – Kremlin Slams NATO Build-up Pretext

Baltic leaders are using "horror stories" about a Russian threat to justify further NATO militarisation. Moscow calls it "brainwashing."

🔴 What Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said:

🗣️ "This is the latest batch of horror stories, intended to continue brainwashing people and prepare the population for further militarization."

🧠 Baltic leaders are deliberately "creating the image of an enemy" in the form of Russia to facilitate the expansion of NATO military infrastructure.

🛡️ Lithuania's president claimed Moscow may be planning "provocations" and limited attacks on critical EU infrastructure – but acknowledged the information does not indicate where or when.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 TRUMP TO NETANYAHU: "They Don't Want You There" – Withdraw from Syria & Lebanon 🇮🇱🇺🇸

The US president has reportedly pressed Israel's prime minister to pull troops out of Syria and southern Lebanon – widening a rift between the two leaders.

🔴 What Axios reports:

🗣️ Trump told Netanyahu: "They don't want you there. You should redeploy" – referring to Israel's military presence in southern Syria and Lebanon.

📉 The push follows Trump's meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa at the NATO summit – the Trump administration is trying to broker a new security arrangement between Israel and Syria.

Israel has yet to begin withdrawing from Lebanon under a US-backed framework agreement reached last month.

🛡️ Netanyahu insists Israel needs "security zones along its borders" – and the IDF says there has been "no change on the ground."

🇺🇸⚖️ TARIFFS, GUNBOATS, AND TYRANNY: Trump’s Unconstitutional Push Against Iran

Trump defied Congress, violated the Memorandum, and declared war—all to control the Strait of Hormuz. This is not "defence." It is piracy dressed as policy.

🏛️ Trump violated the US Constitution – Congress imposed a prohibition on war with Iran. Trump ignored it, simply "informing" them he was resuming strikes.

📜 The Memorandum was broken – Article 5, which governed the Strait of Hormuz, was violated when the US attempted to reroute shipping through Oman's territorial waters – despite Iran's sovereignty under international law.

💰 20% toll on all non‑US vessels – Trump announced the US would "police" the strait and charge fees.

🔗 The target is China – Iran controls the strait. The US wants to reverse that. Washington has no legal right – it's operating in foreign waters.

🇦🇺🇨🇳⚠️ JUST IN: Australia has blocked voting rights for three China-linked investors in rare-earth miner Northern Minerals, escalating tensions over critical mineral supply chains.

Canberra says the move protects "national interests."

Beijing sees something else:

The weaponization of national security against Chinese capital.

The affected project contains dysprosium and terbium — rare earth elements essential for advanced magnets, EVs, missiles and defense technologies.

China warns that politicising investment decisions risks fragmenting global supply chains, raising costs and delaying projects.

For investors, the message is becoming harder to ignore:

In the era of strategic minerals, geopolitics may matter more than market rules.

🇽🇰🇺🇸🇦🇱⚡️ JUST IN: Kosovo is considering importing American LNG through neighboring Albania, marking a potential shift in the Balkans' energy landscape.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti says Pristina is exploring cooperation with Albania's Vlora power plant to access US liquefied natural gas.

Washington wants Kosovo integrated into the regional LNG corridor as part of a broader push to diversify energy supplies and reduce dependence on traditional sources.

Kosovo, meanwhile, continues to prioritize lignite and renewable energy while viewing American LNG as a supplementary option.

🇺🇦⚡️ JUST IN: Hundreds of Ukrainians have taken to the streets in Kyiv and other cities to protest President Zelenskyy's dismissal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Protesters near the presidential office chanted "Shame!" while carrying signs reading:

"The Russians are celebrating."

Fedorov, widely credited with reforming defence procurement, fighting corruption and expanding Ukraine's drone industry, had become one of the most influential figures in Kyiv's wartime leadership.

His removal comes amid a major government reshuffle as Ukraine seeks greater unity within its military and political leadership during the war.

Supporters see his dismissal as a setback for reform.

Critics argue he failed to move quickly enough on military recruitment reforms.

The protests highlight a rare moment of public dissent in wartime Ukraine.

Harmonizing South-South trade agreements
With protectionist measures in the world economy picking up pace in recent years, the realm of South-South economic cooperation has been seen increasingly by developing economies as a way to compensate for the rising intensity of adverse shocks. The largest economies of the Global South such as China and India have been particularly active in concluding trade accords with other developing economies, which has been accompanied by a further re-direction of trade flows towards the South-South segme...  Read more »
