Piker, who streams on Twitch to his 2.8 million followers, sparked outrage over the weekend when he claimed the deaths of two Israeli Embassy staffers last Wednesday had all the hallmarks of a 'false flag operation,' a term used for an action staged to look as if it was carried out by a different group to pin the blame on them.
'I'm not 'Mr. False Flag' at all, but, like, every single thing that [Rodriguez] did in the aftermath of the shooting is so f–king crazy that it's like, you could not have designed a f–king incident like this,' he said.

'You could not have decided a better false flag incident like this,' he said in the live stream, which was also shared to his 1.6 million YouTube followers on Friday.

Far-right Israeli minister prays at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, breaching decades-old agreement
A far-right Israeli minister sparked outrage on Sunday after leading a group of worshippers in prayer at the most sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, despite a decades-old agreement that bars Jews from worshipping there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has previously been convicted for supporting terrorism and inciting anti-Arab racism in Israel, commemorated Tisha B'Av, a Jewish day of mourning, in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as Temple Mount. On Tisha B'Av, Jews mark the destruction of two ancient temples that once stood on the land. While there, he called for his country to 'conquer' Gaza and 'encourage' Palestinians to leave the enclave. The complex is the holiest site in Judaism, where Jews face in prayer. It is also the third holiest site in Islam. Anyone can visit the site, but only Muslims are allowed to pray there, according to an understanding known as the 'status quo agreement,' which has existed since Israel captured the Old City of Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967. Ben Gvir has visited the complex a number of times before, including on previous Tisha B'Av commemorations, but hasn't before led a congregation in prayer there. The Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs quickly condemned Ben Gvir, calling him an 'extremist' and saying that the move 'blatantly disregards the sentiments of Muslims across the world, not only in Palestine.' Islamic holy sites have become subject to 'daily violations by settler groups operating under the protection of a right-wing government that is actively working to seize control of both Islamic and Christian holy sites through a clear and systematic plan,' the ministry said in a statement. Jordan, which administrates the holy site, and Saudi Arabia also condemned Ben Gvir's actions. Jordan's foreign ministry described the incident as a 'blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, an unacceptable provocation, and a condemned escalation.' Hamas called the move a 'grave and escalating crime against the mosque.' Palestinians want East Jerusalem, where the compound is located, as the capital of their future state. Most of the international community considers the eastern sector of the city as being under Israeli occupation. Later on Sunday, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement that its 'policy of maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount has not changed and will not change.' In the past, the PMO has emphasized that policy regarding the site is determined by the Israeli government and its prime minister, not individuals. While at the site on Sunday, Ben Gvir prayed 'for Israel's complete victory in the war, and for the safe return of all the hostages,' his office said. 'It is from here that a message must be sent: to conquer the entire Gaza Strip, declare sovereignty over all of Gaza, eliminate every Hamas member, and encourage voluntary emigration,' the minister said in a video recorded at the compound. 'Only in this way will we bring back the hostages and win the war.' Earlier this week, Ben Gvir was declared a persona non grata by the Netherlands for reportedly inciting violence against Palestinians, advocating for the expansion of illegal settlements and calling for 'ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip,' Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp wrote in a letter. This came after Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on him, as well as Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in June.

Trade representative backs Trump's punitive approach to global tariffs
A Brazilian official told POLITICO last week that the country's legal system is entirely separate from its executive branch, and that its government could only stop the trial with the help of a sweeping amnesty law. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who prosecutors allege was to be poisoned in a coup plot agreed to by Bolsonaro, has flatly refused U.S. demands. But Trump is standing by Bolsonaro and drawing connections to his own entanglements with the U.S. legal system. 'This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent — Something I know much about!' he charged on Truth Social in July. 'It happened to me, times 10, and now our Country is the 'HOTTEST' in the World! The Great People of Brazil will not stand for what they are doing to their former President.' Greer on Sunday said Trump's tariffs on Brazil had full legal backing under a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This is true, he said, even though the U.S. has long enjoyed a trade surplus with the South American country. 'The president of the United States, historically, whether it's a Democrat or Republican, they have used IEEPA to impose sanctions for all kinds of geopolitical reasons in all kinds of countries,' he told Brennan. 'Sometimes it's countrywide, sometimes it's specific to certain, you know, individuals and often foreign leaders and foreign officials. So, this is not way outside the market.'
