In the video, which was taken in Canada during the G7 meeting, Macron was seen whispering in the ear of Meloni, who seconds later rolled her eyes and gave the French president a weird look.
The Group of Seven (G7) held a summit in Kananaskis, in the Canadian Rockies, during which they discussed the escalation in the Middle East and the latest conflict between Iran and Israel.
World leaders urged a "de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza," the BBC said. What did Macron tell Meloni?
"Georgia Meloni ROLLS HER EYES at France's President Emmanuel Macron," a person posted the video on X, along with this caption, amid increased curiosity as people want to know what conversation happened between the two European leaders.
Another jokingly said: "This is the moment when Macron tells Meloni that the local [🤡] entered the global room" (in reference to American President Donald Trump).
However, it was not clear what did Macron told Meloni during the G7 meeting in Canada.

Trump cuts off US trade talks with Canada

Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly cut off trade talks with Canada on Friday over its tax targeting U.S. technology firms, saying that it was a "blatant attack" and that he would set a new tariff rate on Canadian goods within the next week. The move plunges U.S.-Canada relations back into chaos after a period of relative calm that included a cordial G7 meeting in mid-June where Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to wrap up a new economic agreement within 30 days. It also came just hours after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent struck an upbeat tone on trade, touting progress had been made with China on reviving the flow of critical minerals for the U.S. The often-chaotic rollout of Trump's import levies since his return to office this year has frequently whipsawed financial markets, and have begun to weigh on consumer spending, the bedrock of the U.S. economy. U.S. stocks were briefly batted lower by his broadside against Canada, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to close out the week at record highs. The tax is 3% of the digital services revenue a firm takes in from Canadian users above $20 million in a calendar year, and payments will be retroactive to 2022. Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media platform, called the tax "a direct and blatant attack on our country" and said Canada was a "very difficult country to TRADE with." "Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," Trump said. "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period." Reuters

'Assassinate the Mind': Iran's leader slams Israeli strike goals

ALBAWABA - Ali Shamkhani, a top political assistant to Iran's Supreme Leader, said that Israel's latest military action was an attempt to bring down Iran's government. He said the goal of the strike was to "assassinate the mind and topple power," but it didn't work out that way. Shamkhani said on his official account, "They came to kill the mind and bring down the authority, but the dawn that began with bullets ended with pleas for a ceasefire." His response was a reference to how strong the Iranian troops were against the Israeli attack, which was a surprise. Shamkhani praised Iran's reaction, calling it "rage and determination." He also praised the bravery of Iranian troops, saying they "wore shields with no backs" and compared them to Imam Ali. He also talked about an event that was going to happen on Saturday and said that it wasn't a goodbye but a promise to the future: "From every drop of blood, a thousand new leaders will rise," he said.

Since the Israeli attack on June 13, he has not been seen in public. Iranian officials stated that he was badly hurt, but local sources say that his injuries may have meant that his right leg had to be cut off. This event shows how many people were hurt by Iran's military leadership during the recent increase.

Secret Netanyahu family funeral in fortified bunker sparks firestorm of controversy

Published June 27th, 2025 - 04:13 GMT ALBAWABA - Recently, rumors went around on social media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a hidden funeral for a family member who died in an Iranian rocket strike. Also Read Trump urges end to Netanyahu corruption trial The posts say that the funeral happened in a protected underground cave and that it was held in secret because Israeli intelligence services told the organizers to keep the news from getting out. It was said that Netanyahu's sister, who was called "Yontan," died from injuries she got when someone attacked the family home. According to the posts, the Prime Minister also broke down in tears during the service and allegedly said, "Forgive me, Yontan." I wasn't able to keep you safe. We are all part of this war. The Polygraph fact-checking team at Alaraby TV, on the other hand, found that the picture used to support the claims was taken in July 2019. In it, Netanyahu visits the grave of his late brother Yonatan Netanyahu, who was a military hero and died in the Entebbe raid in Uganda in 1976. ❌ التضليل: جنازة إسرائيلية سرية بحضور نتنياهو.✅ الحقيقة: الصورة نُشرت في 5 يوليو ٬2022 وهي من زيارة رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو لقبر شقيقه الأكبر "يوناتان". ◼️ قتل يوناتان أثناء محاولة تحرير رهائن إسرائيليين احتجزهم مسلحان تابعان للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين… — منصة صدق اليمنية (@SidqYem) June 24, 2025 The people who checked the facts said that the picture was taken at a yearly memorial service, not at a secret funeral in 2025. They came to the conclusion that the posts that went popular were based on false information, but they did admit that one part of it was true: Israel currently has tight media control, especially when it comes to secret wartime developments. During the most recent 12-day war with Iran, Israel has not released exact numbers on the number of deaths or damage to infrastructure. Also, all information made public is highly controlled by military secrecy laws. Because of this, whispers and guesswork have filled in the gaps in accurate news, leading to false stories like the secret funeral claim. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
