Israeli finance minister Smotrich:
We are preparing for every possible scenario, including military action.
We know the threat is real, and we will not allow Turkey to threaten Israel’s existence, just as we did not allow Iran to do so.

I met with a bipartisan delegation from both houses of the United States Congress Senators – @SenatorShaheen, @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenatorDurbin, @ChrisCoons, @SenatorRounds, @RepMikeTurner – and thanked them for their support and focus on Ukraine. We had an in-depth discussion about the prospects for diplomacy and what is required for it to succeed. I informed them about the Patriot interceptor shortage and Russian attacks on our people. Right now, contributions to PURL and other air defense deliveries are the top priority for defense.
We also discussed the Russia sanctions bill. It is critical to continue increasing pressure on Russia for this war, and this initiative can truly help to advance peace. I thanked Senators and Members of Congress for their words of respect for our warriors and operations, as well as their assurances that assistance will continue. I am grateful to the United States and every caring American heart for their support.

“We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO.
Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits (…) They treat Mark Rutte terribly”— @RealWestern2003 Jul 8, 2026
