'They have to defend themselves': Trump signals more weapons for Ukraine after earlier pause; cites rising deaths in war
US President said on Monday (local time) that the United States will need to send more weapons to Ukraine, just days after ordering a pause in critical arms shipments to Kyiv. "We are going to send some more weapons (to Ukraine)...They Tired of too many ads? go ad free now have to be able to defend themselves. They are getting hit very many people are dying in that mess", he said. Speaking to reporters about additional weapons deliveries for Ukraine, he said, 'We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves.' His comments marked an apparent change in position after the Pentagon last week announced it would hold back deliveries of air defence missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons over concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much. The sudden pause in shipments of Patriot missiles, precision-guided rockets, Hellfire missiles, Howitzer rounds and other weapons surprised Ukrainian officials and allies. The pause came at a challenging time for Ukraine, which is facing frequent air attacks from Russia in more than three-year-old war. Trump has said he is determined to end the conflict quickly, a promise he made during his presidential campaign. On Monday evening, at a White House dinner with Israeli Prime Minister , he expressed frustration with Russian President . 'I'm not happy with President Putin at all,' Trump said. Continued Russian attacks: Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others on Monday, including seven children, Ukrainian officials said. Ukraine's President said Russia launched more than 100 drones at civilian targets overnight. Over the past week alone, Russia has fired around 1,270 drones, 39 missiles and nearly 1,000 powerful glide bombs at Ukraine. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ukraine's Army Command said Russian drones also targeted military mobilization centres for the third time in five days, in an apparent attempt to disrupt recruitment. Ukraine calls for more aid: Ukraine has urged the United States and Europe to send more military support, especially after the sudden halt of promised US shipments. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Monday the pause was part of a 'standard review of all weapons and all aid' provided to all countries. Leavitt said Defense Secretary ordered the global review of weapons and aid to ensure that 'everything that's going out the door aligns with America's interests.' President Zelenskyy said Ukraine had signed new deals with European allies and a leading US defence company to ramp up drone production, aiming to secure 'hundreds of thousands' more drones this year. 'Air defense is the main thing for protecting life,' Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on Monday. That includes developing and manufacturing interceptor drones that can stop Russia's long-range Shahed drones, he said.

Netanyahu: Palestinian State would be platform to destroy Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he wanted peace with Palestinians but described any future independent state as a platform to destroy Israel and for that reason sovereign power of security must remain with at the White House, where he met U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu described the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, where Hamas was in control, as evidence of what Palestinians would do with a said, "I don't know" when he was asked by reporters if a two-state solution was possible and referred the question to Netanyahu. Netanyahu said: 'After October 7th, people said the Palestinians have a state, a Hamas state in Gaza and look what they did with it. They didn't build it up. They built down into bunkers, into terror tunnels after which they massacred our people, raped our women, beheaded our men, invaded our cities and our towns, our kibbutzim and did horrendous massacres, the kind of which we didn't see since World War Two and the Nazis, the Holocaust. So people aren't likely to say, 'Let's just give them another state.' It'll be a platform to destroy Israel."We will work out a peace with our Palestinian neighbours, those who don't want to destroy us and we will work out a peace in which our security, the sovereign power of security, always remains in our hands," Netanyahu said."Now people will say, 'It's not a complete state, it's not a state, it's not that.' We don't care. We vowed never again. Never again is now. It's not going to happen again.'Palestinians have long sought to create an independent state in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem through a U.S.-mediated peace process. Many accuse Israel of having destroyed Palestinian statehood prospects through increased settlement building in the West Bank and by levelling much of Gaza during the current war. Israel rejects ministers in Netanyahu's Likud party called last week for Israel to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank before the Knesset recesses at the end of July. Israel's pro-settler politicians have been emboldened by the return to the White House of Trump, who has proposed Palestinians leave Gaza, a suggestion widely condemned across the Middle East and Gaza war erupted when Hamas attacked southern Israel in October 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Some 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 believed to be subsequent assault on the Palestinian enclave has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. Most of Gaza's population has been displaced by the hosted Netanyahu at a White House dinner on Monday, while Israeli officials held indirect negotiations with Hamas in Qatar aimed at securing a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage-release deal.- EndsTune InMust Watch
