Trump not going to stand for Netanyahu's continued prosecution
Washington – President Donald Trump said Saturday the United States was 'not going to stand' for the continued prosecution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges. 'The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this,' Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. An Israeli court on Friday rejected Netanyahu's request to postpone giving testimony in his corruption trial, ruling that he had not provided adequate justification for his request. In one case, Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods such as cigars, jewelry and champagne from billionaires in exchange for political favors. In two other cases, Netanyahu is accused of attempting to negotiate more favorable coverage from two Israeli media outlets. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and has thanked Trump for his support in Israel's war with Iran, which saw a ceasefire agreement earlier this week. His lawyer had asked the court to excuse the leader from hearings over the next two weeks, saying he needs to concentrate on 'security issues.' Trump on Wednesday sprung to Netanyahu's defense, describing the case against him as a 'witch hunt.' On Saturday, he described Netanyahu as a 'War Hero' and said the case would distract the prime minister from negotiations with Iran and with Hamas, the Gaza-based Palestinian armed group that Israel is at war with. 'This travesty of 'Justice' will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations,' said Trump, although it was unclear what negotiations he was referring to with regards to Iran. Hamas took 251 hostages during its October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, with 49 still believed to be held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Negotiations are ongoing for the return of the remaining hostages and the bodies of those killed, while Israel's punishing war on Gaza continues unabated. The US leader also likened Netanyahu's legal troubles to his own before he took office for his second term. 'It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure,' said Trump. The Republican was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024 in a case related to hush money payments to a porn star. Trump also faced two federal cases, one related to his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Nigerian Jihadi Group Boko Haram Uses Cryptocurrency To Launder Funds, Finance Terror Attacks
Nigeria-based Sunni jihadi group Boko Haram is reportedly using cryptocurrency and digital platforms to transfer millions of dollars in ransoms and extorted donations, from both local and international sources. The cryptocurrency is reportedly used to fund operations and logistics for the group's attacks.[1] According to the African Defense Forum, a security affairs journal published by the U.S. African Command, the anonymity afforded by cryptocurrency, and the overall lack of regulation, has allowed Boko Haram "unwitting accomplices, including nongovernmental organizations, to trade currencies on its behalf, effectively laundering its money through innocent parties." Cryptocurrency traders may have no knowledge that they are assisting terrorist groups like Boko Haram, it said. Six Nigerians were convicted in the United Arab Emirates in 2020 for using cryptocurrency to transfer over $780,000 to Boko Haram.
