Zelensky:

Putin doesn't want the war to end. Donbas will be too little for them.

Now he's like, "Okay, we can live with certain sanctions and find certain formats."

A 2019 review by Trump administration immigration officials found insufficient evidence of wrongdoing by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, including questions about her citizenship, birth date and her father's background.

The Trump administration has now reopened an investigation into the same allegations, searching Omar’s home and seizing her phone and passport.

Officials are also examining her finances and considering ways to challenge her citizenship status.

Omar denies wrongdoing and calls the investigations politically motivated.

Netanyahu responds to Obama:

The other day, I heard a regrettable statement. It talked about Israel stealing land, Israel losing the moral high ground. Well, let me respond to that.

The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers in the land of our forefathers. Our history is not a colonial enterprise. Our land is not stolen land. This is our homeland. It's called Judea.

We're not the Dutch in Indonesia. We're not the Belgians in the Congo. We're Jews in Judea.

Netanyahu:

The obstacle to peace is not Israel. It's not our fight for our very right to exist in our own state.

A peace built on illusions will crash against the rocks of Middle Eastern reality.

Israel will not gamble with its survival to accommodate those who refuse to accept the facts of history, to accept our right to exist, or who wish to appease terror.

A new OpinionWay poll for France’s 2027 presidential election shows Jean-Luc Mélenchon leading among voters aged 18–24 with 49% support, ahead of Marine Le Pen (28%).

However, Le Pen leads in every other age group, reaching 41% among 50–64-year-olds.

Zelensky:

Even when Bill Clinton was still president of the United States, Putin was already waging war against the Chechens.

And that war taught Putin a lesson: if he uses oil and gas to tempt the world, many politicians will look the other way.

That is how Putin has operated ever since, and he always has some excuse for why he cannot live in peace with one country or another.

Zelensky:

Ukraine cannot survive on just two or four missiles from one country every few months.

Of course, we are grateful to all of you, but I think you must understand this.

So please, let what European countries already have be used to protect our lives.

Q: Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for Trump's own problems?

Zelensky: (Smiles) This is my answer.

Zelensky:

We are also protecting Moldova from Russian attempts to create problems through Transnistria.

Sometimes we even have to divert some of our military forces from other tasks to keep the risks from Transnistria under control.

Zelensky:

The issue is not withdrawing from Donbas. It's the issue of our country's existence.

We're now standing and fighting. What's the alternative? Annihilation.

Zelensky:

Ukraine will be in the EU.

More and more people understand that we and our country are also needed in NATO.

Zelensky:

Putin is saying that he wants Donbas. But why did the full-scale invasion begin with almost occupying Kyiv? Is that in the east of our country? Is that in Donbas?

No, that is the capital, and the state does not exist without the capital.

He wants to annihilate us.

Zelensky warns:

What will happen if we fall?

20 million Ukrainians will come to Europe because Putin will destroy us and push us out.

Zelensky:

Putin wants to destroy us. He doesn't respect us, our sovereignty and territorial integrity.

He really thinks that we are not a country, not a nation.

So do you really trust that he needs only the eastern part of our country? Of course it's not enough.

Zelensky:

Yesterday there were a thousand drones in Ukraine. A thousand.

But the American side said that it's difficult to speak with Zelensky. It's less difficult to deal with Putin.

Dozens of masked Israeli "settlers" attacked Palestinians harvesting olives near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Friday, setting trees on fire and throwing stones.

The attackers also beat Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was wearing a clearly marked press vest, kicking her repeatedly and stealing her equipment. She was hospitalized.

Witnesses said Israeli soldiers failed to intervene against the "settlers" and instead fired tear gas at Palestinians.

Prof. Veysel Kurt | Security Specialist | Center for Middle Eastern Studies (ORSAM):
 

Israel is using Greece as a vector to infiltrate the European security system which is a major risk for Europe.
 
Greece is a NATO & EU member through which Israeli military presence gains access to European defense architecture.
 
In 1995, the Turkish parliament authorized military options if Greece made that move in the Aegean. That red line remains.
 
Israel now has military bases on Greek islands. Türkiye's risk is higher than ever & it cannot ignore this threat.

FULL INTERVIEW

Trump's MAGA allies are openly discussing martial law if they believe the November midterm elections are rigged.

Peter Ticktin, Trump's childhood friend and attorney for election activist Tina Peters, said martial law might be necessary, along with seizing ballots and election equipment.

Another activist proposed suspending the elections or invoking emergency powers to change state voting systems.

Legal experts say Trump has no authority to delay federal elections, seize election materials or override state election laws, even under martial law.

Zelensky:

Europe is a continent of democracy. Year after year, things change. New leaders come to power, coalitions change, and many things happen.

But what never changes? Year after year, Putin remains where he is, and he continues to wage war.

Some of today's European leaders, some of those running in elections today, were still in school when Putin was already waging war.

Iran has managed to export some LPG and jet fuel despite the U.S. naval blockade.

At least eight tankers carrying an estimated 4.1 million barrels of Iranian LPG have left the Gulf of Oman since mid-July, with most shipments heading toward Malaysia for likely delivery to China.

Another tanker delivered Iranian jet fuel to Myanmar in September.

The U.S. military maintains that its blockade is “ironclad,” saying it has turned back 135 vessels and disabled four since July.
