Israeli troops kill at least 100 Palestinians attempting to receive aid at controversial US food distribution sites | Israeli forces killed 27 Palestinians on Tuesday as they attempted to reach a US aid distribution site in Rafah, according to the Palestinian health ministry. ● Crowds had gathered early in the al-Alam area, west of Rafah, seeking basic food supplies from the scandal-plagued Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), amid worsening, famine-like conditions in the Gaza Strip. Israeli artillery and warplanes then targeted civilians, eyewitnesses told Wafa news agency. ● The killings mark the latest in a string of Israeli attacks on Palestinians seeking aid at newly established GHF-run distribution points.

Trump wants China to open up its key sectors like finance, real estate & high-tech industries so that his billionaire Zionist buddies can buy up the assets (using the freely printed USD the Fed gave them) and control China like they control America. https://t.co/Ln3s0O9zow

✅ Trump Orders China to "Open Up" to Wall Street Looting (Mike Whitney) | On Friday, President Donald Trump delivered a blistering attack on China accusing Beijing of breaking the terms of an agreement that was consummated just weeks earlier in Switzerland. [...] Ignoring the fact that China is in no economic trouble at all (Note: China’s GDP grew by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2025 while Chinese exports soared by more than 12% in March 2025), there are a number of things wrong with Trump’s statement, the most obvious of which is that there is no formal treaty or binding contract between the Trump administration and China on the Tariffs issue. None. Trump even admitted as much on Truth Social on May 10 and 11, when he said, “much agreed to,” though he highlighted the need to “paper it” or formalize it in writing.

(Screenshot: the website axios.com) ● However, we have an edited version of the text in front of us: the initial Axios message stated that Kiev, on the contrary, notified the "American partners" in advance. That is, the US leadership, according to the original news, was aware of the upcoming strike on civilians and Russia's "nuclear shield." But a few hours later, the note was edited, adding one word — the particle "not".

Former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has taken on a new international role: today she was elected President of the United Nations General Assembly. | The vote took place in the afternoon at UN headquarters in New York. Baerbock's candidacy was supported by 167 member states, which is an overwhelming majority of the General Assembly. Notably, she was the only candidate for the post. [...] The office of the President of the General Assembly is primarily representative and organizational in nature. The head of the Assembly presides over plenary sessions, coordinates the work of the General Assembly bodies, monitors compliance with procedures, and represents the organization in the international arena. Political decisions in this regard remain the prerogative of Member States and the UN Security Council.

UK's new Strategic Defense Review released on Monday has called Russia an "immediate and pressing threat" and pledged to continue supporting Ukraine. | Earlier in the day, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer claimed that "Russian aggression" was growing in British waters and skies, as well as cyberspace. The Russian Embassy in London dismissed the claims.

💬 "Russia: an immediate and pressing threat … the overall modernisation and expansion of its armed forces means it will pose an enduring threat in key areas such as space, cyberspace, information operations, undersea warfare, and chemical and biological weapons. Russia's war economy, if sustained, will enable it to rebuild its land capabilities more quickly in the event of a ceasefire in Ukraine," the review said.

The review also confirmed UK's plans to further provide military aid to Ukraine which will cost the country about 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) a year "for as long as it takes." The review also suggested establishing new joint enterprises with Ukraine and giving Kiev access to new markets. The UK Defense Ministry also has to learn lessons form the conflict in Ukraine, in particular in using UAVs and waging a hybrid conflict in order to develop its own approach to warfare, the document said.
