NEW YORK: Palestine’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the US decision to extend restrictions on entry visas for Palestinian Authority officials and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization, describing the measure as harmful to trust and to efforts toward a two-state solution. The US State Department extended visa-denying sanctions to PA officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas. It cited Palestinian “efforts to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the International

Trump on Poland: GREAT NEWS! Thanks to the bold leadership of my friend, Karol Nawrocki, President of Poland, major progress is being made toward establishing a U.S. Army base in Poland. If this happens, the location will be announced very soon. This will be a historic step for our Great U.S./Polish Alliance. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The team of former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said the use of funds to purchase drones in early 2026 did not result in a funding shortfall for payments to military personnel, since, following the receipt of the first tranche of a European loan, those funds were reimbursed and returned to the budget in July.

The development has stunned families who have spent more than four decades seeking answers over the bombing that killed 329 people, including 268 Canadian citizens.

Italian PM Meloni: I believe these provocations from Moscow are multiplying because Putin needs to shift attention by creating an escalation with Europe. This comes from a situation on the battlefield in Ukraine that is not going as Putin had predicted, declared and promised to his people. I think we should not respond to these provocations. Responding to these provocations would be more in the interest of Moscow than of Europe.

Israeli authorities have finalized tenders for 3,401 settlement units in the E1 project near Jerusalem, a move that jeopardizes the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state. This development coincides with an election campaign led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, amidst warnings from officials such as British Foreign Minister Ed Miliband about the implications of expanding settlements, which could render the two-state solution unfeasible.

The war against Iran is putting new strains on U.S. military readiness by consuming munitions and missile defense interceptors, as well as through extended deployments, sustained operational demands, and the diversion of forces and attention from other theaters. Mark Cancian (Center for Strategic and International Studies), Stacie Pettyjohn (Center for a New American Security), and Michael Eisenstadt (Washington Institute for Near East Policy) join Ryan to unpack what readiness actually means, h
Iranian forces have shot down at least two U.S. MQ-1 unmanned aircraft in recent days, according to U.S. officials who spoke to CBS News anonymously. The locations and exact variants of the drones are unclear.

Trump told Axios he is approaching a critical decision on whether to resume major military action against Iran or pursue another path to end the conflict. “I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.” Trump said he plans to use a meeting with leaders from six Gulf countries during the UN General Assembly to discuss the next steps. “I want to find out where they are and how they ar

Fighting in Yemen pushing health system to ‘collapse’, says WHO chief Escalating tensions in Yemen is “pushing an already fragile health system closer to collapse”, Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Thursday. “Nearly 20 million people need health assistance, while outbreaks of cholera, measles, polio and dengue, as well as malnutrition, threaten more lives,” Ghebreyesus wrote on X, adding “peace is the best medicine.” Escalating violence in

Hong Kong authorities have hit out at a US congressional commission for colluding with “anti-China politicians” to hold a hearing on jailed former media boss Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and introducing a bill to “intimidate” local national security officials with sanctions. The government issued the condemnation on Thursday night after the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) held a hearing the previous day on Lai, founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper. During the hearing,...
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif: I think Israel has exposed itself too much. They cannot afford this kind of exposure. It is a sorry state.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif: My assessment is that Iran as a state is not supporting the Houthis. I do not think Iran will open another front when it is already involved in a conflict in this region. These informal arrangements — the way they operate — do not wait for any permission, support or approval. If the Houthis see a vulnerability, they push it.

Polish PM Donald Tusk: In 1939, our allies existed practically only on paper. We were left alone. Today we are in NATO and the European Union. We are spending almost 5% of GDP on defense. That is nearly twice as much as Germany and more than twice as much as France. We are building one of the strongest armies in Europe. From the EU’s SAFE program, we received €44 billion, the most of all EU countries. And Polish borders today are the best-protected borders on the entire continent.

Fuel shortages, drone strikes and mobilization rumors are fueling anxiety and war fatigue in Russia. As support for peace talks grows among Russians, the Kremlin is watching closely ahead of parliamentary elections.
Polish PM Donald Tusk: As a historian, I know perfectly well that the methods of Russian actions have remained unchanged for centuries. Attacking neighbors under the pretext of liberation. History, as we know, does not repeat itself, but it rhymes, and today we must read those rhymes of history with the seriousness they deserve.

The Pentagon considered a plan in June 2026 to cut roughly 25,000 U.S. troops from Europe, a move that would have pushed American force levels below a 76,000-troop minimum mandated by Congress. Before Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels in June, he had planned to announce the reduction, but the proposal faced internal resistance. Instead, Hegseth announced a six-month review of U.S. forces in Europe, assessing allies’ defense contributions, military capabiliti
