Saudi Arabia's foreign minister arrived in the United States on Tuesday (Apr 8) for an official visit aimed at planning US President Donald Trump's expected trip to the kingdom later this spring, a source close to the Saudi royal court told Reuters.

For decades, commanders have dreamt of unlimited ammunition in the form of laser beamsIsrael has said it will deploy its Iron Beam this year, potentially beating most countries in fielding a high-powered laser defence system. Behind the claims – one analyst called it a “watershed” moment – there are important limitations of laser systems that could delay their widespread use. To illustrate how difficult it has been to turn a laser design into something that can be brought on to the battlefield, Iron Beam was announced by manufacturer Rafael at a defence show in Singapore in 2014. Eleven years later,...

And now to the few conservative news sites re Israel. VS Islamofascistic: Iran, Turkey [Abadolu, TRT, etc.], Qatar [al-jazeera, MiddleEastEye, theNewArab] or jihad-apologetic-Haaretz and the likes. JNSINNAlgemeinerJfeedYnet and JPost are center left but TimesofIsrael is lefty. (Haaretz [Haaretzism] is radical liberal, pro-atheism, anti Israel and pro Arab Islamists plus much of fake news).

On the face of it, Trump’s plan for the US to occupy Gaza is not remotely feasible, but that could all be part of the president’s scheme. US President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he announced that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip for the foreseeable future. With his declaration, the president has once again thrown a diplomatic grenade into the Middle East conversation – not a particularly quiet region at the best of times and one beset by 15 months of war. The proposal – one that envisions the US developing Gaza, creating...

President-elect Trump tapped Morgan Ortagus, a former State Department spokesperson, to serve as deputy special presidential envoy for Middle East peace in his next administration. Trump noted in his announcement that Ortagus previously was critical of him.

These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it...

Listening to the leftist propaganda of the Biden era, one might think that President Trump has conveyed no substantive policy prescriptions. How about peace? Bringing home troops from foreign combat zones seems like a good policy. It is important to note that Vice President Harris, in her debate with President Trump, made the following claim: “And as of today, there is not one member of the United States Military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.” Subsequently, many posts on X debunked this statement in...
