Trump says US will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine
Trump did not give a number of Patriots he plans to send to Ukraine, but he said the United States would be reimbursed for their cost by the European Union. The U.S. president has grown increasingly disenchanted with Putin because the Russian leader has resisted Trump's attempts to negotiate a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
Trump is expected to announce a new plan to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons in a sharp departure from his earlier stance, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

Representing King .. Patriarch Theophilos III delivers speech during solidarity visit Ramallah
Ammon News - Representing His Majesty King Abdullah II, Patriarch Theophilos III, patriarch of the Holy City and all Palestine and Jordan, delivered a speech on Monday during a solidarity visit to Taybeh, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, following escalating attacks by Israeli settlers that threaten one of the Holy Land's Christian heritage sites. In the speech, His Majesty condemned recent attacks by Israeli settlers on the historic Church of Saint George (Al-Khader) and the Christian cemetery in the town of Taybeh, where they set fire near the cemetery, as a barbaric and flagrant violation of the sanctity of the dead, Christian holy sites, and Christian presence in the Holy Land. The enormity of attacks, the settlers' daily terrorizing of Palestinians, and systematic assaults against dozens of villages, cities, and refugee camps in the occupied Palestinian territories require a firm international response to halt the aggression, particularly the genocide against children, women, the elderly, and civilians in the Gaza Strip, the King said. His Majesty called for protection of unarmed Palestinians, their holy sites and the right to live in freedom and dignity and establish their state on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital. A delegation of the Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Christian Churches in Jerusalem joined in the visit, along with the pastor of the Latin Monastery Church in Taybeh, Father Bashar Fawadleh, Jordanian Ambassador to the State of Palestine, Issam Al-Bdour and Taybeh Mayor, Suleiman Khoury. During the visit to Al-Khader St. George Church, one of the most ancient churches in Palestine, and Taybeh Christian cemetery and lands threatened with confiscation by the Israeli occupation authorities, the delegation were briefed on settler attacks on the town, its lands, property, and Christian holy sites. The Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Christian Churches in Jerusalem demanded that settlers who perpetrated attacks against the church and cemetery be held accountable, and said the Israeli occupation authorities is fully responsible for facilitating such attacks. They also called for protection of Christian holy sites in the town in particular and the Palestinian territories in general, and an investigation to punish the extremist settlers for the violations against Taybeh, the city of Christ. In an interview with Petra's reporter in Ramallah, Taybeh Mayor Suleiman Khoury commended His Majesty's support of the Palestinians and the Jordanian government and people for their stand with Taybeh during "these difficult circumstances that were imposed by the occupation authority and the settlers and targeted the Christian presence in Palestine. Khoury said His Majesty's speech and the visit of the church delegation had an impact in supporting the people of Taybeh, raising their morale, and strengthening their resilience in the face of barbaric assaults.

Bitcoin Surpasses $120,000 Amid Renewed Investor Optimism - Jordan News
Bitcoin hit a new all-time high on Monday, surpassing the $120,000 mark for the first time, signaling renewed investor confidence and growing institutional interest in the world's largest cryptocurrency. اضافة اعلان The rally comes as the U.S. House of Representatives begins debating a package of bills aimed at establishing a long-awaited regulatory framework for the digital asset industry — a move widely welcomed by crypto companies and investors alike. President Donald Trump, who has branded himself the 'crypto president,' has voiced support for updating regulations to accommodate the fast-growing sector, further fueling optimism in the market. So far in 2025, Bitcoin has risen by 29%, driving a broader surge in the crypto market, despite recent turmoil related to Trump's new tariff measures, which had injected short-term uncertainty. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, also soared to its highest level in more than five months, reaching $3,048.23 before slightly retreating to $3,036.24 in recent trading, according to Reuters. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has now reached approximately $3.78 trillion, based on data from CoinMarketCap — a level not seen since the bull run of late 2021. The latest surge reflects growing anticipation that the U.S. regulatory landscape may finally offer clarity and legitimacy to a sector long marked by volatility and legal ambiguity.
