Israel: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will sue Haaretz, journalist Shlomi Eldar and others for defamation over a report claiming UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned him 10 days before October 7. Netanyahu said official records show no such call occurred and also denied receiving an Egyptian warning. U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul previously said Egypt had warned Israel three days before the attack that “an event like this could happen.”

🇩🇪🇺🇦 The German foreign minister just slammed Kyiv for not spending aid cash on German munitions.
He said, “We’re now the strongest supporter of Ukraine; naturally the German defense industry must benefit from this.
We stand by you, we support you. But I also have to explain this to German taxpayers.”
Translation: We’ve spent billions on you and have nothing to show for it after years of war.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s visits to Moscow and Kyiv are a “circus” and a “disgrace” – The Telegraph
The article states that Putin is in a difficult position and that attempts by American envoys to throw him a “lifeline” are concerning. Furthermore, the pressure on Kyiv to make territorial concessions amounts to an insult to the Ukrainian people and sends a dangerous signal to Europe.
The newspaper notes that Witkoff visited Moscow multiple times but traveled to Kyiv only once. The Telegraph also contrasted the American representatives’ behavior during the meetings: in Moscow, they offered Putin “smiles, praise, and ostentatious goodwill,” whereas their embraces with Zelenskyy in Kyiv appeared “perfunctory and awkward.”
The paper described the entire affair as the “Witkoff-Kushner circus,” stating that such diplomacy threatens to confirm fears regarding US support for Ukraine under Trump—namely, that it amounts to “more hot air than genuine military strength.”
