President Donald Trump stated he does not support regime change in Iran, cautioning that it leads to chaos. He also highlighted Iran's significant economic potential, suggesting the country could thrive if it avoids pursuing nuclear weapons.
A devastating scene unfolded at Gaza's Al-Awda Hospital, where blood stained the floors following an Israeli attack. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 37 Palestinians who were waiting at an aid distribution center on June 24th.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte referenced comments made by President Trump, who compared Iran and Israel to "two kids in a schoolyard." Rutte humorously referred to Trump as "daddy."
During a NATO summit press conference, Trump was asked about his view of NATO allies. He responded that the comment was made "very affectionately" and added that European allies would eventually be able to defend themselves. These remarks followed NATO's commitment to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.
In the occupied West Bank, an illegal Israeli settler obstructed an ambulance from reaching injured Palestinians. This occurred after settler-led attacks, supported by Israeli soldiers, on June 25th, during a raid northeast of Ramallah. At least three Palestinians were killed by settlers and Israeli forces.
Tragically, a five-month-old and a ten-day-old Palestinian baby died from malnutrition in Gaza. This occurred amidst Israel's ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 580 premature babies across the war-torn region are at risk of death due to starvation.

5% GDP for defense spending? NATO is becoming an offensive machine, not a defensive one. This is alarming.

Rutte's comment is a clever way to diffuse a tense situation.

Trump's 'schoolyard' comment, while simplistic, illustrates the tension in the region.
