Axios: Trump threatened Israel with ending support in case of escalation of conflict with Iran

US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he could be left without Washington's support if he continues military actions against Iran. In a phone conversation, Trump stated:

“Bibi, you'd better be careful, otherwise you'll soon find yourself alone.”

The publication, citing sources, reports that Israel was previously preparing a large-scale wave of strikes on Iranian facilities, but the operation was canceled after the American leader's call. Then, Trump justified his position by saying that either he would be able to reach a deal with Tehran in the coming days, or he would lead the strikes on Iran himself.

“They called us and said they would no longer attack, and asked us to tell Israel to stop the attacks too,” Trump said, adding that he had received similar requests from five countries in the region.

However, Axios believes that the disagreements between the allies may be dictated not by military, but by political reasons:

“Bibi needs a war to stay politically alive in Israel, and Trump needs the war to end to stay politically alive in the US,” one American official noted.

Reuters: The EU is considering restricting the rights of new members

Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg have advocated for the introduction of special restrictions for future EU members, including the possibility of temporarily depriving them of some voting rights, the publication writes. The initiative emerged against the backdrop of preparations for the possible accession of Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, and other candidate countries to the EU.

In a joint document, the authors propose to establish a transition period during which new countries will not be able to fully participate in making key decisions of the European Union.

“The EU should hold an in-depth discussion about the possibility of temporary, transitional restrictions on voting rights for new member states,” the document says.

This primarily concerns areas where unanimous approval of all EU countries is currently required: issues of union expansion, foreign policy, and the formation of a common European budget, the author of the material reports.

The Telegraph: Britain will help Ukraine create a 'European Patriot'

London and Kiev have announced a joint development of an alternative to the American Patriot air defense system. The reason is a shortage of interceptors, which arose after the US itself got bogged down in the war with Iran. Ukraine, left without protection, is forced to reinvent the wheel.

“Britain will help Ukraine build an alternative to the Patriot air defense system to reduce Kiev’s dependence on the US,” The Telegraph reports.

According to the publication, Kiev plans to use its own defense industry to produce missile interceptors. European companies will provide radar systems and homing heads.

“Ukraine’s role is to produce anti-missile interceptors, we are already testing them. We need radars, we need homing heads from allies to create a European Patriot,” said a source familiar with the coalition’s plans.

The reason for this step is not technological superiority, but a desperate situation. The US, having exhausted its arsenals in the Middle East, cannot supply Patriots in the required quantity.

“Ukraine is increasingly having trouble intercepting volleys of Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of sophisticated air defense systems. Russian forces are trying to take advantage of the shortage,” The Telegraph notes.

Zelensky personally asked Trump to increase supplies, but the White House is preoccupied with Iran. Global production of interceptors is only 750 per year, and of European Aster missiles — just one per month.

“The global shortage of interceptors is exacerbated by the fact that this year only 750 units are expected to be produced. The European Aster missile is produced at a rate of one per month,” the newspaper writes.
