President Trump, together with a number of top European leaders, issued a clear demand to Vladimir Putin: agree to a 30-day cease-fire in Ukraine starting Monday, or face heavy sanctions and expanded military backing for Ukraine.
The announcement followed high-level talks in Kyiv, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to deliberate over a U.S.-driven cease-fire initiative.

President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached between India and Pakistan, following U.S.-brokered negotiations aimed at ending the most dangerous military standoff between the two nuclear powers in recent decades.
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Both nations later confirmed the ceasefire deal, crediting the United States for helping mediate the breakthrough.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller says President Donald Trump is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the United States illegally. To achieve that, he says the administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right for people to legally challenge their detention by the government. Such a move would be aimed at migrants as part of the Republican president’s broader crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border. “The Constitution is clear, and that of course is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller told reporters outside the White House on Friday. “So, I would say that’s an option we’re actively looking at,” Miller said.

During an interview with Kan News, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee issued a stern message to the Iran-backed Houthi militia, warning that continued aggression toward Israel could draw serious consequences from the United States.
“Israel may not be a formal party to the U.S. agreement, but the Houthis understand what’s at stake,” Huckabee said. “If they continue to attack Israel, they are potentially attacking America, since there are 700,000 Americans living in Israel. If they harm an American, they are essentially attacking America.”
Huckabee made it clear that the security of American citizens abroad—especially in regions threatened by terror—is of utmost importance to the U.S. government, and any escalation would be taken seriously.

Mike Herzog, who until recently represented Israel in Washington, criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu on Friday for allowing chances to secure a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia to slip away—some as recently as a few months ago.
In an interview with Kan News, Herzog reacted to reports that President Donald Trump had dropped the requirement that Saudi Arabia recognize Israel as part of a major nuclear deal with the kingdom. “Since Israel is planning to widen the operation in Gaza, normalization is getting farther away,” he said.

Nine members of the IDF’s Yerushalayim Brigade (Unit 16) sustained light injuries after an improvised explosive device detonated during a mission in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The blast occurred early Saturday morning in the Shejaiya area while IDF forces were carrying out searches. The device had been planted in advance and exploded as the troops passed through.
According to an announcement from the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, all wounded soldiers were transported to a hospital for care, and their families have been informed. Among those hurt were the commanding officer of Battalion 6310 and the deputy commander of Division 252.

Minister Yitzchok Wasserlauf of the Otzma Yehudit party has made clear that he and his fellow party members will not back any initiative that would place the historic Tiferes Yisroel Shul under the control of groups who might choose to eliminate tefillos for the welfare of IDF soldiers from the services held there.
In a statement posted to social media, Waserlauf said, “I grew up in the Jewish Quarter of Yerushalayim, on the ruins of the historic Tiferes Yisroel Shul. Words cannot describe the emotion I felt when I first entered the restored synagogue building. In the government’s Yerushalayim decision, I, along with others, worked for the restoration and rehabilitation of this important shul.”

What, exactly, the Republican Party stands for in terms of economic policy in the second Trump administration is a question reaching an inflection point. Is it the party that promotes free-market prosperity or a 21st-century populism? Does it stick with the “No new taxes” pledge that has been GOP political orthodoxy for decades or do Republicans tax the rich, as President Donald Trump suggests? Roll back the Obama-era’s health care expansion and the President Joe Biden’s green energy investments or protect the federal flow of investment dollars generating jobs in the states? Slash deficit spending or spike the nation’s now $36 trillion debt load? Free trade or Trump’s tariffs?
