„ @realDonaldTrump said on Monday that Russia and Ukraine would begin negotiations »immediately« on preparations for peace talks, but added that he was leaving Moscow and Kyiv to find a deal without the US as a broker.
2).
After a two-hour call with Vladimir Pootin, Trump posted that »Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War«.
3).
But in separate comments the Russian [dictator] sounded far more tentative about any process and did not spell out a substantive change in the Kremlin’s stance.
4).
In remarks that indicated that Washington may be stepping back from a role as a mediator, @realDonaldTrump said the »conditions« for a deal could only be negotiated by the warring parties »because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of«.”

„@realDonaldTrump unloads on @NBCNews reporter
@OccupyDemocrats @KarlaLe32930906 @RonFilipkowski @realDonaldTrump @NBCNews 2).
It’s not uncommon for the U.S. president to criticize representatives of the »fake news«, but he was especially angry when NBC’s @PeterAlexander asked him about Qatar’s donation of a 747 for Trump to use as Air Force One.”

„But for Russia, Ukraine is not Syria, and it is not Georgia. Syria was a far-away adventure where Russia’s retreat can be swept under the carpet.
@KenRoth 2).
Georgia is stuck in a holding pattern, vacillating between Russia and the West, which is no disaster for Moscow – whereas Ukraine is a disaster for Moscow. In Ukraine, Russia’s military is stalled while deaths and casualties mount.

Pootin has no way out of the war – other than to admit a version of defeat.”

„Israel plans to take control of the Gaza Strip while restarting »minimal« aid deliveries to the enclave, @IsraeliPM Benjamin @netanyahu said Monday, describing potential mass starvation there as a »red line« that could cost Israel its support from the U.S.
@KenRoth @IsraeliPM @netanyahu 2).
In a video posted on social media, @netanyahu said that although Israel was deploying »massive force to take control of all of the Gaza Strip … we cannot reach a point of starvation, for practical and diplomatic reasons«.
@KenRoth @IsraeliPM @netanyahu 3).
He said Israel’s »closest friends in the world«, including U.S. politicians, told him they were unwavering in their support but could not »handle pictures of mass starvation«.

„Maar liefst 48 procent van de Nederlandse bevolking vindt dat Israël genocide pleegt in Gaza. Het merendeel van de Nederlanders staat niet achter het kabinetsbeleid met betrekking tot Israël en de oorlog in Gaza.
@wodanin @MinPres 2).
Dat blijkt uit een nieuwe opiniepeiling in opdracht van PAX, Oxfam Novib, Amnesty International, Save the Children, The Rights Forum en SOMO.
@wodanin @MinPres 3).
De Nederlandse regering weigert nog altijd de situatie in Gaza als genocide te omschrijven, ondanks meerdere rapporten van mensenrechtenorganisaties waaronder Amnesty International die dit vaststellen.

„In much of Europe, the response to Sunday’s Romanian presidential election was a sigh of relief. The winner, Nicușor Dan, is a centrist who supports Ukraine, and his victory shut the door on what Romanian authorities say was an attempted coup supported by Russia.
@KareemRifai @anneapplebaum 2).
But to a handful of right-wing tech moguls, Dan’s defeat of George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, was something else entirely.
@KareemRifai @anneapplebaum 3).
Two of them, @elonmusk and @DavidSacks, both of whom are advisers to @realDonaldTrump, expressed dissatisfaction with the state of Romania’s democracy.”
