Dalia Ziada, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, addressed the growing tension between Egypt and Israel. “Military forces are standing on both sides of the Egyptian-Israeli border, aiming at each other, which indicates that the problem of mistrust between the parties has reached a boiling point,” she said. “I hope this doesn’t lead to further escalation in the coming years.” Ziada sharply criticized the Egyptian government, which she says “has been on the wrong side of this war from the start,” and accused Cairo of supporting Hamas, “who has hurt the Palestinians more than anyone else.” Ziada also referred to French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Egypt, claiming it is part of a power struggle between Europe and the United States in the Middle East.

Elon Musk intensified his criticism of White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday, taking to social media to mock him with harsh language, referring to Navarro as a “moron” and “dumber than a sack of bricks.”
Musk’s latest remarks came in response to Navarro’s appearance on CNBC the previous day, during which he questioned Musk’s credentials in the auto industry, suggesting the Tesla CEO was “not a car manufacturer” but merely “a car assembler.”

With most programs funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development cut and the agency’s remaining staff told their jobs will end by September, the reality of the Trump administration’s sudden halt to more than 60 years of international development work has sunk in. Billionaire presidential advisor Elon Musk, who led the charge to dismantle USAID, has called the agency criminal and corrupt. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said many programs did not advance American interests. The administration continues to cancel programs, including humanitarian and food aid, and has said it will roll any remaining programs into the State Department.
