Donald Trump threatens Iran with repeat of ‘Midnight Hammer’ after meeting with Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with another bombing attack after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu visited Washington DC to speak with Trump at the White House. The pair met for several hours but did not make a public appearance together and Netanyahu left without speaking to reporters. US President Donald Trump threatened Iran in a new Truth Social post, but said the talks would continue. (Truth Social) However, Trump posted on Truth Social afterwards that he and Netanyahu had a "very good" meeting. "There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated," he wrote. "If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will ...

Has Trump really ended eight wars? Fact-checking the president’s claim

If there is anything Donald Trump covets more than anything else, it's the Nobel Peace Prize. The president has repeatedly spoken of how much he deserved it, and raged in public and private at the country of Norway, which he believes is responsible for not giving it to him. At the centre of his claim for the prize is the boast that he has ended eight wars in a year. Reporters raise their hands as President Donald Trump speaks during a press briefing at the White House. (AP) But has he? "The short answer is no. And in fact, the short answer is not even close," Monash University senior lecturer in international relations Ben Zala told nine.com.au. "Two and a half, or, let's be generous and say three, are factually correct." Israel ...

Netanyahu submits request for pardon during ongoing corruption trial

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the country's president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges — seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation. Netanyahu, who has been at war against the country's legal system over the charges, said the request would help unify the country at a time of momentous changes in the region. But it immediately triggered denunciations from his opponents, who said it would weaken Israel's democratic institutions and send a dangerous message that he is above the rule of law.

Israelis praise Trump at huge rally ahead of expected hostage release by Hamas in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of people have held a rally in Tel Aviv, ahead of the expected release of Israeli hostages by Hamas. Addressing the crowds, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said the hostages "are coming home" and praised Donald Trump for making a Gaza ceasefire and hostage return deal possible. In Gaza, Palestinian officials said about 500,000 people had returned to northern Gaza - which lies in ruins - in the past two days, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Meanwhile Egypt confirmed it would host a summit on Monday to finalise an agreement aimed at ending the war. More than 20 leaders including Trump would attend the summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, an Egyptian presidential spokesperson said. French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer are c...

A weakened and isolated Hamas faces pressure to accept Trump’s peace plan for Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have finally outmaneuvered Hamas. After facing months of genocide accusations, pariah status and global pressure to halt the war in Gaza, Netanyahu has agreed on a ceasefire plan with US President Donald Trump. The 20-point plan, unveiled by Trump and Netanyahu at the White House, greatly favours Israel.

But with Trump rallying international support for it, including from Hamas' closest allies, the Islamic militant group could have a tough time refusing the pro...

Why is Tony Blair tipped to help run Gaza under Trump peace plan

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair would help run Gaza as part of an international board under a peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump. Blair was the first-named member of a "Board of Peace", chaired by Trump, which would temporarily oversee Gaza's governance, if Hamas accepts the proposal.
