Israeli officials call for the shutdown of universal aid distribution systems run by UN and NGOs, such as the NRC, after two months of catastrophic lockdowns and starvation in Gaza. They want to manipulate and militarize all their aid on civilians, and they want to force them to deliver supplies to us…

Does that mean that the rubber band band that is supposed to stop the plane in the Ittybit landing area doesn’t work and the plane was skittered to a drink?Trump flashed in the face of Hooty’s resistance, but called it a victory… Pakistan and India increased due to the war Larry Johnson. As for his first report, we can hope to see if this is the taste of this week. Netanyahu reports that the US has not added anything about Hooty’s attack at Ben Gurion Airport. However, there are “trading” that saves your face. “There are no US ships anymore in the Red Sea, so it was easy for Hoosys to promise to stop missile fire on US ships.”
The cracks are no longer hidden.
The US will not inform Israel of its visit to the Middle East and will not include Tel Aviv.
The US also did not inform Israel about a ceasefire with Yemen.
The message is clear: America is retreating.
But the real panic…

Trump appears to have concluded a ceasefire with the Housis, which he negotiated in Oman. It will see Bab al-Mandeb open again on American ships and leave Israel and Yemen to continue the long-range war.
