US Secretary of State Rubio says Germany is a 'tyranny in disguise' after AfD verdict
The decision to label the AfD as "right-wing extremist" is straining US-German relations.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syria’s General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a “misunderstanding” and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says it’s intervening to protect the Druze community.
With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional war—or a chance for diplomacy to prevail?

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

EU fails to agree Israeli suspension from research fund over Gaza

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind.

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern.

President Trump is under fire for controversial comments about press secretary Karoline Leavitt, praising her more for her appearance than her performance. In a live Newsmax interview, Trump remarked on her “face,” “brain,” and “lips,” calling her a “machine gun” speaker and a “star.” The internet quickly reacted, labeling the comments “creepy” and “inappropriate.” Leavitt, a central figure in Trump’s 2024 media push, has yet to respond. The moment has reignited debates around professionalism, gender, and Trump’s rhetoric.

President Trump has fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Director Erika McEntarfer following a disappointing July jobs report that added only 73,000 jobs and included major downward revisions to May and June. Trump accused the agency of political manipulation, claiming the numbers were “rigged” and damaging to the economy. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, sparking a 1.5% market drop. McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, became a target of Trump’s fury as economists warn that politicizing labor data could erode trust in a cornerstone of economic governance.
