⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel’s national security minister, Ben-Gvir says Israeli forces should “kill 30 or 40” people in Gaza every night.
“There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people”, Ben-Gvir added.

Ukrainian defenses partially collapsed in the Orekhov sector following Ukraine's counterattacks further east of the city which left no reserves available to plug the gaps in the Ukrainian defense.
In the southwest, Russian forces established control over the highway intersection south of Novodanilovka and gained a foothold in the southern part of the village. From here, following the earlier Russian special forces DRG infiltrations, Russian soldiers are infiltrating northwest into the southeastern residential blocks of Orekhov, and north towards the western streets of Malaya Tokmachka.
To the southeast, the Russians cleared a number of treeline positions and 2022-era fortifications northeast of Rabotino following weeks of back-and-forth battles. Ukrainian forces are attempting to counterattack in the area of the nearby forested gulley.
To the north, Russian forces re-established control over the eastern part of Malaya Tokmachka and began intense infiltrations into the northern part of the village. From there, several groups of Russian infiltrators broke through Ukrainian defences, crossing north over the Konka River to the treelines north of Malaya Tokmachka, and are attempting to capture a series of trench fortifications on the nearby tactical heights by attacking from the southwest. If they are able to consolidate, a defence of Malaya Tokmachka by Ukraine will become nearly impossible. Heavy fighting continues for the Malaya Tokmachka prison and adjacent residential streets.
To the northeast, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough north of Belogorye, capturing a series of important Ukrainian strongpoints on the tactical heights and penetrating further west towards the forests north of Malaya Tokmachka. Ukrainian forces defending the Belogorye area are now at a high risk of being physically cut off. Heavy fighting is now ongoing for the eastern approaches to the forests, as well as the trench fortifications on the tactical heights, which are now being attacked from both the east and southwest.
Further north, the Russians improved their positions in the treelines southwest of Gulyaipolskoe (Komsomolskoe), threatening to cut off Ukrainian positions in the western part of the village. From there, assault operations are being carried out on the southeastern part of Novoselovka.

The 10-year JGB yield rose as much as +6 basis points to 2.93% on Monday, the highest level since 1996.
At the same time, the 30-year yield climbed +7 basis points to 4.08%, nearing its record high from May, while the 20-year yield jumped +7 basis points to 3.815%.
This comes as a weakening Yen and rising oil prices are fueling inflation expectations, with markets now pricing an ~80% chance of a Bank of Japan (BOJ) rate hike in September.
Meanwhile, 3% for the 10-year JGB is a critical level for Japanese fiscal credibility, since it is the interest rate assumed in the government's own budget, meaning a breach would signal a rate rise the government itself did not anticipate.
Complicating the BOJ's decision, Japan's Q2 GDP grew just +1.1% annualized, well below the +2% expected by economists, as private consumption and CapEx both declined.
Fiscal concerns are adding further pressure, with the government yet to clarify how it will fund a planned 2-year cut to the sales tax on food.
Japan's bond market is starting to price in the cost of fiscal excess.

The US president, who has repeatedly made belligerent threats during the war as he has been frustrated in achieving his war aims, first threatened to bomb Oman in May. He warned Muscat — which has traditionally acted as a mediator between Washington and Tehran — to “behave like everybody else or we’ll have to blow them up”.
Diplomats hoped that if Iran and Oman agreed a deal to manage traffic through the strait, it would allow Tehran and Washington to return to the MoU.
One of the people briefed on the talks said the Trump administration, which has been seeking to ease high energy prices ahead of the US midterm elections in November, had agreed to lift its blockade on Iranian ports and reinstate the waiver on oil sales if Iran opened the strait in an acceptable manner.
But the second person said Iran’s deep distrust of Trump meant Tehran wanted US concessions before it opened the strait, which has become Iran’s main source of leverage with the US.
“Oman has been put under pressure to make concessions in terms of the route, but that will not get the strait open,” the person said. “Unfortunately, the US has acted in bad faith so often it won’t wash.”
Oman, which was mediating talks between the US and Iran before Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the war in February, has sought to maintain its traditional neutral stance during the conflict.
It angered the Trump administration by saying the parties were close to a nuclear deal days before the war was launched, and has publicly criticised the US’s offensive against the Islamic Republic.
Trump has a grudge against Oman for being a good-faith neutral negotiator instead of pressing Iran to accept his demands like Pakistan and Qatar did, and for revealing to the world that Iran was prepared to make concessions right before he was going to attack, harming the U.S' image in the process.

✡️☢️🇮🇷 Jewish political commentator and Donald Trump's primary news source, Mark Levin, is advocating for the use of atomic bombs to force Iran to surrender
🔗 @infolibnews
"The Iranian regime is not going to surrender."
"You know, we've been in wars before where we fought enemies that wouldn't surrender either… Remember the kamikazis? remember Japan?"
"Unfortunately, we had to drop two atomic bombs until they would surrender."
"Obviously we're not going to do that now but I'm talking about an enemy that is dug in".

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:
‘There is no such thing as 60-day ceasefire. There was supposed to be a period of cessation of hostilities for 60 days, in which the U.S. and Iran would try to reach a deal.
If it did not succeed—but provided the U.S. abided by its committments—this could have been extended.
But the U.S. never abided by a single one of the MoU terms, and no serious talks ever began. Therefore, there is nothing to extend, and the issue of the ‘60-day ceasefire’ is completely void and irrelevant.’

⚡🇮🇹 A leaked internal chat from Italian ex army general Roberto Vannacci's party "Futuro Nazionale" reveals antisemitic, racist, and pro-Nazi messages among 300 members, including local party leaders in Lombardy.
Messages included:
— Arabs should be exterminated.
— Jews are beasts, Satan worshippers, pedophiles, cannibals.
— The Führer aimed to create the United States of the world. He would have torn down barriers and by now we'd all speak German.
Members called for "military-style" organization and unconstitutional action:
— Until someone decides on an action of force, we will remain in total immobility.
The chat was administered by a historic collaborator of Italian Senate President Ignazio La Russa.

The convergence of left and right populists since October 7 has created the illusion that a "left-right alliance" is possible.
But neither foreign policy nor economic populism can be the basis for a real political alliance. My latest essay:
