In an interview released Friday, President Donald Trump stated that “Crimea will stay with Russia,” marking another moment where he urged Ukraine to concede territory in hopes of ending the ongoing war.
“Zelenskyy understands that,” Trump said, referencing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “And everybody understands that it’s been with them for a long time.”
Trump’s remarks came during a conversation with Time magazine earlier in the week. He has consistently accused Zelenskyy of prolonging the war by refusing to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a newly published interview with Time magazine, President Donald Trump revealed that he has already secured “200 deals” related to tariffs and predicted that all of the arrangements will be finalized within the coming month.
The interview, part of a feature marking his first 100 days in office, followed a question referencing trade adviser Peter Navarro’s earlier assertion that “90 deals in 90 days” would be achieved. The interviewer challenged that claim, pointing out, “We’re now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal, the discounted reciprocal tariffs. There’s zero deals so far. Why is that?”

As previously reported by Chaim V’Chessed, a significant travel update took effect at the start of 2025: all travelers to Israel are now required to complete an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. Without an approved ETA, airlines will not permit passengers to board flights to Israel—with the exception of Israeli passport holders. Even Israeli citizens need an ETA – if traveling on a foreign passport. With the conclusion of the busy Pesach travel season, many are now returning to Israel after the holiday, while others are arriving for the first time. Whether you’re a seasoned visitor or a newcomer, it is absolutely vital to confirm that you have a valid ETA in hand before traveling. Do Student Visa Holders Need an ETA?
