U.S. President Donald Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement.

I wanted to share a heartbreaking case with everyone here. A young bride in Israel is waiting to get married while her mother battles cancer. With the family overwhelmed by medical expenses, there's simply no money left for the wedding. She's not asking for anything extravagant, just the chance to marry with dignity. If everyone here could give even a little, we could make a real difference for this bride.

Official statement from the UAE Attorney General on the Flydubai case. The Omani first officer planned to carry out a suicide attack by crashing a Flydubai passenger plane into the terminal at Ben Gurion Airport. The stated objective was to cause as many casualties as possible, in a manner similar to the September 11 attacks. The roots of his radicalization go back to 2017, when he stayed in Melbourne, Australia, for studies and began adopting extremist views. He also gathered intelligence in preparation for the attack attempt. That collection took place on two flights to Israel and covered both the flight path and Ben Gurion Airport itself. On the hiring question, the Attorney General's statement says the suspect met all professional and security requirements of Flydubai at the time he was taken on. The preliminary checks conducted on him revealed no signs of extremist positions or terrorist intentions.

The danger is a ruling establishment that has imposed an illegal war with global consequences on the world." "The American president has even called the destruction of Los Angeles and San Diego a very small price. This is a clear case of the politics of fear." Fars News
