Trump’s $100 billion plan to boost Venezuelan oil production is facing major doubts from industry experts. Experts warn that developing the reserves could take at least a decade and hundreds of billions of dollars, as many fields lack the pipelines, electricity and other infrastructure needed for large-scale production. Questions have also been raised over the deal’s legality, its political durability and the ability of the relatively little-known company involved to manage such a massive

John Ternus took over as Apple’s chief executive on Tuesday, inheriting a company that towers over the smartphone market but trails its rivals in artificial intelligence. One of his biggest challenges will be balancing the company’s dependence on China while parrying acute political pressure from the White House.

German Foreign Minister Wadephul: Russia escalated, and Russia carried out this hybrid attack, and Russia must now live with the consequences. I repeat what I said yesterday: it was a necessary and appropriate response. And we always combine this with our willingness to talk sensibly with Russia again.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: We destroyed 70% of Gaza. We destroyed areas in southern Lebanon; we ruined dozens of villages that served as Hezbollah strongholds. We evacuated 200,000 residents. We conquered the refugee camps in the West Bank. The IDF stayed inside. 40,000 residents were evacuated and didn’t return. The IDF destroyed infrastructure there, killed terrorists, and it is still inside.

BIG: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Gaza: There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration. By the way, 80% want to migrate; it’s checked constantly in surveys. Hamas doesn’t allow them, and there are no countries in the world that will take them. We are fully prepared to move them out if it becomes possible—by sea, by air, by every way possible. Egypt is not willing, so it won’t be through them. What’s delaying it is that the accepting countries want US support.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Gaza: Today, between 60% and 70% of Gaza is desolate. There is still work to do, but about 70% of the area is desolate—without residents, without houses, without tunnels.
Prof. John Mearsheimer: It is possible that the right will win in both France and Germany in a future election. If the right wins in one of those elections, it's likely that France or Germany will abandon its strong support for Ukraine. The right in Germany and the right in France have made it clear that they have no love lost for NATO. They think it's time to end this formidable German or French commitment to Ukraine.
Prof. John Mearsheimer on Russian casualties: These numbers are ridiculous. There's no question that the Russians have suffered a few hundred thousand deaths. I don't deny that for one second. But the idea that your average Russian recruit only lasts somewhere between 20 to 30 hours is, I think it's fair to say, ludicrous. There is no evidence that this is happening. The Russians are moving very slowly and very carefully. The Russians are not engaging in frontal attacks. They're moving fo

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Iran: There is a probability that Iran will attack Israel. Why? To try to extract themselves. Between a stranglehold and a war, they might prefer the latter.

These drones have played a key role in allowing the Ukrainians to compensate for the fact that they don't have enough troops to cover the front line. Without drones, both the balance of firepower and the balance of manpower is so lopsided in Russia's favor that I think the Russians would have rolled up the Ukrainians a year or two ago.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was born 25 years ago as a modest mechanism for managing borders between China, Russia and four Central Asian states. At its anniversary summit in Bishkek this week, it looks more consequential – and harder for the United States to dismiss. The timing is important.
