UK to Sanction Israel Over Settlement Project That Would Cut West Bank in Half
The settlement project would make a two-state solution, which the UK and other European countries support, impossible.

Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes on Monday despite President Donald Trump’s calls for both sides to halt the fighting and give peace talks a chance to succeed.

President Donald Trump was once again humiliated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war they started in Iran continued to spiral out of control. After Iran launched a salvo of missile strikes against Israel Sunday, its first attack since the April 8 ceasefire, Trump insisted that he still maintained control of the situation. The U.S. president told Axios that he would instruct Netanyahu to refrain from hitting back against Iran. “I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,” Trump said.The president separately told the Financial Times that Israel would have to accept any deal that he made with Iran. “I call all the shots.

Things should move quickly,” he wrote on Truth Social. Iran said Monday that it would suspend its attacks on Israel but would resume them if Israeli strikes continued against Lebanon—which seems likely. A senior Israeli official said that Israel had halted the strikes against Iran at Trump’s request. It’s clear, however, that Trump was either unable or unwilling to stop Netanyahu from retaliating in the first place.
The U.S. President also claimed Monday morning that "final negotiations on ‘peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way."
Iran and Israel exchanged fire overnight in the most serious escalation since a nominal truce was reached in April.
President Donald Trump is still pursuing a long-term agreement to end the Iran war, even after Iran and Israel exchanged long-range missile strikes over the weekend for the first time in roughly two months, threatening to derail the process and drag the region back into war. Trump has repeatedly said Iran is ready to make […]
