๐Ÿ”ฅ We actually made progress on peace deal โ€” US special envoy

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œA ceasefire deal is very, very easy to break because it doesn't have all the ingredients attached to it. A peace deal is much more different. It's sturdy,โ€ Steve Witkoff said.


๐Ÿ—ฃ Witkoff added that, as Trump pursued a peace deal, โ€œin this sort of nutty world, he got criticized for that.โ€

๐ŸŽค Tulsi Gabbard: Russiagate was a manufactured attack on American democracy

๐Ÿ—ฃ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard exposed the origins of Russiagate, pointing to the declassified documents she released, which clearly show the timeline of the dangerous politicized intelligence used to undermine Donald Trumpโ€™s election and the voices of American voters.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "They were not happy with the outcome of that election. And so they created this politicized, weaponized piece of fake intelligence that, as you mentioned, then went on to serve as a foundation for everything that came after the multiple investigations."


โœ… Gabbard calls out the individuals responsible for aiding this seditious conspiracy by revoking their security clearances and stressing that it was an assault on the trust that American citizens place in their government.

โ†”๏ธ WAR OF ACCUSATIONS: Macron and Netanyahu clash over Palestinian state

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œYour call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy; it is appeasement,โ€ Netanyahu claimed in a letter to Macron seen by US media.


๐Ÿ—ฃ The Israeli PM claimed that Macronโ€™s move โ€œrewards Hamas terrorโ€ and โ€œemboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalkingโ€ French streets.

Macronโ€™s office responded by warning in a statement that Netanyahuโ€™s claims were โ€œerroneous, despicable, and will not go unanswered.โ€

๐Ÿ‘‰ Israelโ€“France relations have sharply deteriorated following the latterโ€™s announcement that it plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in September. The French foreign ministry also condemned Netanyahuโ€™s plan to occupy Gaza, while Macron called it โ€œa declared catastropheโ€ and a push for a โ€œpermanent war.โ€

๐ŸŒ Trumpโ€™s map of Ukraine โ€˜strong SLAP in Zelenskyโ€™s faceโ€™ โ€“ Russian MFA spox

A map of Ukraine that was on display at the White House during Trumpโ€™s meeting with Zelensky and European leaders was supposed โ€œto bring them to their senses,โ€ Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThis slap was probably meant to magically wake Zelensky up in some way. I think it will be very difficult for anyone to finally bring him to his senses,โ€ Zakharova stressed.


๐Ÿ—ฃ The map clearly showed Zelensky โ€” and those who cover him or are covered by him โ€” โ€œjust how much they've lost, in every sense," the Russian diplomat concluded.

The map of Ukraine, which was displayed during the Trump-Zelensky talks in the Oval Office, showed areas of Ukrainian territory that are currently controlled by Russian troops.
