Israel possesses nuclear weapons, but hides this fact, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated on Friday.

🗣 "Does Israel have nuclear weapons at the moment? It does, but if you ask Israel, they will not say yes. Because they use lies very well," Erdogan told a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin.

As a result of Israel's operation there is nothing left if the Gaza Strip, Erdogan added.

🗣 "Frankly, no one talks about what is happening after October 7. Unfortunately, 13,000 Palestinians have been killed — women, children, the elderly. There is nothing left of the Gaza Strip," Erdogan stressed.

The pact on reintroducing nuclear power to the Philippines was signed in San Francisco on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit by Philippine Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in attendance.

❗️Although ex-US President Donald Trump “engaged in insurrection” by inciting the 2021 Capitol riot, he can appear on Colorado’s Republican presidential primary in 2024, a district judge has ruled.

The decision ended a public lawsuit seeking to knock Trump off the ballot in Colorado by citing Section 3 of constitutional amendment.
The document stipulates that a person who has previously held civil or military office may not be elected if the candidate has participated in or supported a rebellion or insurrection.

The judge, however, argued that Section Three doesn’t apply to Trump, stating, “After considering the arguments on both sides, the Court is persuaded that ‘officers of the United States’ did not include the President of the United States.”
