Third F-35 fighter jet downed in Iranian territory, two Israeli pilots now in custody

A statement by the Army added that the pilot was captured after ejecting over western Iran.

With this latest downing, Iran has neutralized three F-35 fighter jets since Israel began its aggression on Friday. Of the two others, one pilot is believed liquidated, and another too captured by Iranian forces.

I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done.

I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!

Netanyahu Survives a Vote to Dissolve Parliament but Emerges Weakened

Déclaration conjointe des dirigeants de la France, du Royaume-Uni et du Canada sur la situation à Gaza et en Cisjordanie.

Israël a subi un attentat atroce le 7 octobre. Nous avons toujours soutenu le droit d‘Israël à défendre les Israéliens contre le terrorisme. Mais cette escalade est totalement disproportionnée.

Nous ne resterons pas les bras croisés pendant que le gouvernement Netanyahou poursuit ces actions scandaleuses. Si Israël ne met pas fin à la nouvelle offensive militaire et ne lève pas ses restrictions sur l‘aide humanitaire, nous prendrons d‘autres mesures concrètes en réponse.

Nous nous opposons à toute tentative d‘expansion des colonies en Cisjordanie. Israël doit mettre fin aux implantations qui sont illégales et compromettent la viabilité d‘un État palestinien ainsi que la sécurité des Israéliens et des Palestiniens.  Nous n‘hésiterons pas à prendre d‘autres mesures, y compris des sanctions ciblées.

(…)

Nous continuerons à travailler avec l‘Autorité palestinienne, les partenaires régionaux, Israël et les États-Unis afin de parvenir à un consensus sur les dispositions à prendre pour l‘avenir de Gaza, en s‘appuyant sur le plan arabe. Nous affirmons le rôle important de la conférence de haut niveau sur la solution à deux États qui se tiendra aux Nations unies en juin pour dégager un consensus international autour de cet objectif. Nous sommes déterminés à reconnaître un État palestinien en tant que contribution à la réalisation d‘une solution à deux États et nous sommes prêts à travailler avec d‘autres à cette fin.

Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

(May 19, 2025)

Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate.

We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.

We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.

(…)

We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel and the United States to finalise consensus on arrangements for Gaza’s future, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the High-level Two-State Solution Conference at the UN in June in building international consensus around this aim. And we are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.

The Netherlands moves to veto extension of Israel-EU cooperation agreement

(May 7, 2025)

In a missive to European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, Veldkamp accused Jerusalem of acting in violation of the 2000 E.U.-Israel Association Agreement, which states that relations between the Jewish state and the 27-member body are “based on respect for human rights and democratic principles.”

The Netherlands will block European cooperation with Jerusalem until alleged rights abuses are investigated, he wrote to Kallas. Renewal of the program requires unanimous support from all E.U. foreign ministers.

The U.S. Is Trying To Blind Ukraine—By Kicking It Out Of Orbit. It Won’t Work.

Ukraine relied heavily on America’s own large fleet of spacecraft—hundreds of satellites for communication and surveillance—plus commercial space services paid for by the U.S. or other allies.

The satellites helped Ukrainian troops, drones and munitions navigate and communicate, spotted—via radar and camera—Russian forces on the move and traced Russian command networks by detecting their radios.

Is Iran Next?

(January 10, 2025)

Israeli military sources claim that its strikes inside Iran (precipitated by an Iranian missile assault on Israel) dismantled much of its air defense systems. These security officials note that this was a key mission: to eliminate Iran’s air defenses in preparation for a future all-out assault on its nuclear program. The sources estimate it will take a year or more for Iran to repair the current damage and restore its capabilities.

Arab, Islamic leaders call for suspension of Israel‘s UN membership

He reminded the attendees that, despite ongoing regional conflicts, the UN has never revisited Israel‘s 1949 admission under Resolution 181.

“Today, the Islamic group and the Arab group are two organisations moving before the international community, and I am confident that there are many countries that will support the idea of freezing membership,” he added expressing optimism that the proposal would garner widespread backing.

During a summit in Riyadh, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit highlighted the importance of the proposed action to freeze Israel‘s UN membership. He described it as a “major step” toward addressing longstanding grievances. “There is a paragraph in this text that I find very important and vital, a paragraph that talks about moving before the General Assembly to freeze Israel‘s membership,” Aboul Gheit stated. He pointed out that Israel‘s initial admission to the UN in 1949 had been under Resolution 181, a decision that many now view as overdue for reconsideration.

The Israeli officials did not disclose the nature of the information that led them to be concerned about potential I.C.C. action, and the court did not comment on the matter.

Arrest warrants from the court would probably be seen in much of the world as a humbling moral rebuke, particularly to Israel, which for months has faced international backlash over its conduct in Gaza, including from President Biden, who called it “over the top.”

Ukraine has nothing to do with the events in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow

„Regarding the events in Moscow‘s Crocus City in the Russian suburbs, where a shooting took place just today, certain terrorist actions by unidentified persons. Let‘s make it clear: Ukraine absolutely has nothing to do with these events,“ Podoliak said in a special video message.

As he noted, „firstly, we are in a full-scale, full-fledged, large, intense war with the Russian regular army and with the Russian Federation as a country. And everything will be decided on the battlefield. It is important for Ukraine to conduct effective combat operations, offensive actions in order to destroy the Russian regular army and thus end this war.“

Secondly, according to Podolyak, Ukraine has never used terrorist methods of warfare. At the same time, he noted that, for its part, it is in Russia‘s recent history that it has repeatedly used certain terrorist acts against its own citizens.
