Qatar says it is "satisfied" with security guarantees obtained after the call with Trump and Netanyahu.

A source close to Hamas:

Trump's plan is completely biased to Israel and imposes impossible conditions that aim to eliminate the group.

Another Palestinian official told Reuters:

What Trump has proposed is the full adoption of all Israeli conditions, which do not grant the Palestinian people or the residents of Gaza any legitimate rights.

Colombian President Petro:

If Trump continues to be an accomplice to a genocide, as he has been up to this day, he deserves nothing more than prison and his Army should not obey him.

Sudan: Unity Government Interior Minister and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) faction leader Lt. Gen. Suliman Sandel announced his forces are ready to join the UAE-backed RSF front.

Colombian President Petro:

The United Nations should not have to follow New York; the Security Council, of which we are almost members and will preside, and you do not have a visa, nor I. So it is a stupidity of the government of the United States.

It is breaking international law and has no right to take away the visa of anyone speaking to the United Nations or on issues under discussion in the United Nations.

“What Regulator Would Say No to Trump’s Son-in-Law?”

Jared Kushner brokered the largest leveraged buyout in Wall Street history: the $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts.

Backed by Saudi Arabia’s PIF, Silver Lake, and JPMorgan, the deal gives Kushner’s firm a 5% stake while PIF becomes majority owner.

While such a deal might normally face scrutiny, insiders expect it to pass smoothly thanks to Kushner and Saudi influence on the White House.

“We are in a regulatory environment that is welcoming of [Saudi Arabia]. We are not in what was the previous regime,” said one source.

Another, closer to Trump’s team, was more blunt:

“What regulator is going to say no to the president’s son-in-law?”

Pete Hegseth:

Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us; they will be crushed by the violence, precision and ferocity of the War Department.

Pete Hegseth:

To our enemies: FAFO.

Pete Hegseth:

We have the strongest, most lethal, most prepared military on the planet.

Nobody can touch us. It is not even close.

Pete Hegseth:

The military has been forced by foolish and reckless politicians to focus on wrong things.

This speech is about fixing decades of decay, some obvious, some hidden.

As the Chairman put it: clearing out debris, removing distractions.

Sudan: UAE-backed RSF militants today attacked a district in El Fasher.

Pete Hegseth:

We lost our way. We became the "woke department." But not anymore.

Right now, I’m looking at Americans who made a choice.

Pete Hegseth:

No dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more gender delusions.

We are done with that shit.

Pete Hegseth:

Would you want your child serving with fat or under trained troops?

Or alongside people who can’t meet basic standards?

Pete Hegseth to US Army generals:

The era of politically correctness ends right now, either you meet the standards or you are out!

Pete Hegseth:

If the "Secretary of War" can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our Joint Force.

BREAKING: Trump:

Hamas has 3–4 days to respond.

If Hamas rejects deal, Israel will do what it has to do.

Pete Hegseth:

It’s unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the Pentagon.

You need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.

No more beards or long hair.

Pete Hegseth:

If you want a beard you can join special forces, if not then shave.

We don't have a military full of Nordic Pagans.

Pete Hegseth:

People make honest mistakes, our mistakes should not define an entire career.

Pete Hegseth on Biden's DoD:

They were told females and males are the same. Or that males who think they’re females are normal.

They were told we need a green fleet and electric tanks.

They were told to kick out Americans who refused an emergency vaccine.
