🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼⚡- BREAKING: US intelligence warns China could seize Taiwan’s outlying islands in the Taiwan Strait.

There are five island chains administered by Taiwan in the Strait, Pratas, Penghu, Kinmen, Wuqiou, and Lienchiang (Matsu). US intel warns Kinmen and Matsu are particularly vulnerable to Chinese capture.

"China could seize Taiwan’s smaller outlying islands as a tactic to intimidate the government in Taipei. However, an all-out invasion of Taiwan in 2025 is unlikely, but China could scale up the attacks on the democratic island’s smaller outposts.

China will use the attack on Taiwan's Islands to test the US’s commitment to Taiwan’s defense," - The Telegraph, British outlet, citing a US Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, report.

Note, the US had finally admitted the presence of US troops in Taiwan, and yesterday Taipei received the Governor of Guam. On Monday, a congressional delegation from mainland US paid the island a visit.

However, to the extent that there is a chance of releasing hostages, it is appropriate to do so, and this is the will of the absolute majority of the people of Israel. One must act according to national interests and not according to political pressures and threats," - Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Minister.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Hamas has been under tremendous pressure and distress in recent days as a result of the change in the aid distribution system and its loss of control over the population in the Gaza Strip, combined with ongoing military pressure.

We need to continue tightening the rope around his neck and force them into a complete surrender deal with all the hostages at once.

It would be delusional to release pressure now and sign a partial deal with them that would give them oxygen and a lifeline and allow them to recover.

I will not allow such a thing to happen. Period," - Bezalel Smotrich, Israeli Finance Minister.
