📹 Almost 60 killed in tragic bus accident in Afghanistan – reports

Nearly 60 people were killed after a passenger bus overturned and caught fire in Herat province, western Afghanistan, local media reported citing security officials.

The bus was carrying passengers returning from a neighboring country when it overturned and was engulfed in flames, leading to the high death toll.

🔥 We actually made progress on peace deal — US special envoy

💬 “A ceasefire deal is very, very easy to break because it doesn't have all the ingredients attached to it. A peace deal is much more different. It's sturdy,” Steve Witkoff said.


🗣 Witkoff added that, as Trump pursued a peace deal, “in this sort of nutty world, he got criticized for that.”

🎤 Tulsi Gabbard: Russiagate was a manufactured attack on American democracy

🗣 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard exposed the origins of Russiagate, pointing to the declassified documents she released, which clearly show the timeline of the dangerous politicized intelligence used to undermine Donald Trump’s election and the voices of American voters.

💬 "They were not happy with the outcome of that election. And so they created this politicized, weaponized piece of fake intelligence that, as you mentioned, then went on to serve as a foundation for everything that came after the multiple investigations."


Gabbard calls out the individuals responsible for aiding this seditious conspiracy by revoking their security clearances and stressing that it was an assault on the trust that American citizens place in their government.

↔️ WAR OF ACCUSATIONS: Macron and Netanyahu clash over Palestinian state

💬 “Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy; it is appeasement,” Netanyahu claimed in a letter to Macron seen by US media.


🗣 The Israeli PM claimed that Macron’s move “rewards Hamas terror” and “emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking” French streets.

Macron’s office responded by warning in a statement that Netanyahu’s claims were “erroneous, despicable, and will not go unanswered.”

👉 Israel–France relations have sharply deteriorated following the latter’s announcement that it plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in September. The French foreign ministry also condemned Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza, while Macron called it “a declared catastrophe” and a push for a “permanent war.”

🌐 Trump’s map of Ukraine ‘strong SLAP in Zelensky’s face’ – Russian MFA spox

A map of Ukraine that was on display at the White House during Trump’s meeting with Zelensky and European leaders was supposed “to bring them to their senses,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.

💬 “This slap was probably meant to magically wake Zelensky up in some way. I think it will be very difficult for anyone to finally bring him to his senses,” Zakharova stressed.


🗣 The map clearly showed Zelensky — and those who cover him or are covered by him — “just how much they've lost, in every sense," the Russian diplomat concluded.

The map of Ukraine, which was displayed during the Trump-Zelensky talks in the Oval Office, showed areas of Ukrainian territory that are currently controlled by Russian troops.
