Trump said he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the aid, and they agreed to cut it.
“They don’t need it. If they did need it, I would say keep it going. But Bibi Netanyahu, we reached an agreement on that. And can I be honest with you? He brought it up,” Trump said.
US bombs Qeshm Island on Monday: confirmation comes after a series of explosions were heard in the region.

A source familiar with the investigation told the Post that Omar is not her real name and that her birth surname is Elmi, the same as the man she married.
The United States, during the South Korea-U.S.-Japan foreign ministers’ meeting, mentioned China’s ‘coercive behavior in the West Sea’ and strengthened its message of deterrence against Beijing. However, it was confirmed on the 31st that the South Korean government, which is directly affected by China’s activities in the West Sea, did not include such content in its related press release.
Elmi, a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, wrote that his study of violence against gay people in Africa was "not just an academic undertaking" because of "the complexities of [his] identity" as a "gay man of the East African diaspora."
A top Washington state official said on Oct. 29 that the state has no way to confirm whether people are U.S. citizens when registering them to vote.
“We don’t have a system that can identify whether someone is an actual noncitizen,” Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said during a press conference in King County.
the Gulf’s energy system will take far longer and cost far more to rebuild than anyone in Washington is admitting, and Saudi Arabia can no longer be counted on to cover the gap. Here are his key findings.
Relief is real, the financing is not free, and the schedule is political. Diesel near $6 is a genuine emergency for row-crop farmers, and CCC exists precisely for fast action. But a program announced at a campaign rally, funded off-budget, and paying out after Election Day invites skepticism. The number to track is the per-commodity rate in November, which will tell you whether this is targeted loss relief or a broad pre-election transfer.
Ben-Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party has been a key member of Netanyahu’s coalition. Recent polling has projected Otzma Yehudit to win approximately eight seats in the next Knesset.
The Camp Fire and Woolsey Fire together killed 103 people and wrecked or damaged more than 24,000 structures. The Camp Fire alone wiped out about 14,000 homes in Paradise. The federal allocation of $1,017,399,000 was supposed to cover costs insurance and other aid did not. California’s Department of Housing and Community Development split the money between homeowner rebuilding and “affordable” rentals.
Homeowners got the short end. Of the $222.4 million set aside for them, just $38 million had been spent by the end of 2023, rebuilding a total of 110 homes. Meanwhile developers collected $368.7 million.
Now, she was at a Chinese airport, the triplets in her arms.
Two strangers appeared, a man and a woman. They offered to hold her newborns.
Tursun was only too grateful. But as soon as she handed her babies to them, their faces changed.
Follow us, they instructed.
They were the Chinese police.
Thus began an ordeal that cost Tursun one of her babies and stole years of her youth.
The Swiss foreign ministry says MSF breached its contractual obligation to report, and NZZ am Sonntag writes that mistrust of the charity is "now immense within the Confederation." MSF has acknowledged its mistakes. NZZ says MSF's internal investigation turned up 59 reports of sexual violence and exploitation, mostly involving women and girls who fled the war in Sudan, and that 18 staff were dismissed, six of them from MSF's Swiss branch.
"They revealed how easy it is to commit fraud in your system - without actually defrauding anyone - and you are prosecuting them for embarrassing you?...
War Secretary Pete Hegseth has welcomed back an Air Force general who was forced to retire because she did not want to take the COVID-19 vaccine when it was mandated during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of War said on Oct. 27.
In a statement, the DOJ said it had provided the state with a list of voters suspected of being noncitizens or green card holders. Noncitizens are barred from voting in U.S. elections regardless of their legal immigration status.
“We have identified over 400 non-citizens who are registered to vote and have voted in multiple elections. This is only the tip of the iceberg,” acting U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd said.

Bolsonaro Drops Annulment Bid As Party Concedes To Lula, Vows Congressional "Fortress" Against Socialist Rule
Just two months earlier, I had been with Massie at Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm when President Donald Trump posted on social media that he wanted to make it possible for farmers and ranchers to process their own meat.
Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants - a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny, notwithstanding the facts that:
· Screening mothers for hepatitis B is cheap and easy
· Hepatitis B, outside of mother-to-infant transmission, is nearly exclusively acquired via unprotected sex and intravenous drug use, neither of which most rational people outside of Portland or Brooklyn would recognize as normal activities for infants

The Pentagon is preparing U.S. military bases to keep operating for at least 90 days without outside support as it prepares for the possibility of a major war that could cripple power grids, disrupt supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on American soil.
Kruse's violation? She wore a shirt bearing the letters XX-XY.
She chanted "Save women's sports! Save women's sports!" The commie mob insisted that this group, which included lesbians, Kruse, and the OutKick reporter, be purged. And purged they were.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk personally ordered the cap. One of its sources said he and President Trump discussed the move before it took effect, while others said they spoke only after it became public, and some U.S. officials said Musk acted alone. Administration denials have been broad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "there was no foreknowledge," Hegseth said "we haven't pulled anything back," and a White House official said "we didn't slow down Starlink at all." Trump has said he did not make the call but that Musk should not be blamed, AP noted.

A shared address: Omar and Elmi listed the same Columbia Heights, Minnesota, address on their 2009 marriage application. Ahmed Hirsi, the father of Omar's children, also used that address for a business license, according to the Post.
Overlapping relationships and tax filings: Omar had her third child with Hirsi in 2012 while legally married to Elmi. The Post also cites joint tax returns Omar filed with Hirsi for 2014 and 2015, before her divorce from Elmi was finalized in 2017. Those returns were subsequently corrected.
Ukraine says its military forces continue to experience disruptions to critical battlefield communications, a day after President Trump declared that these restrictions had been removed.
"President Trump called Elon Musk on Wednesday and asked him to lift restrictions on a military-grade version of Starlink in Ukraine that the SpaceX chief had throttled, U.S. officials said," The Wall Street Journal had initially reported Thursday.
[T]he US media—mainstream and social—are reacting as if this has no precedent. It has several thousand years’ worth of precedent. It’s the way France has always been and will always be. Do I think it’s a good way to be? No. But it will never change. It must simply be accepted.
Air raid sirens sounded in Kyiv around 5:20 a.m. local time, after air raid alarms had been raised. The high-rise in Sviatoshynskyi district was hit around 7 a.m. – following attacks by drones during the night.
There have been several attacks against Starlink infrastructure across Europe in recent weeks.
SpaceX's lucrative connectivity business has become a military and political target.
Attorneys for Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother whose twin toddlers died eight days after receiving vaccines, have moved to dismiss the grand jury murder indictment against her, citing prosecutorial misconduct in the grand jury hearing. “When the facts come out to the court and to the public, it’s going to be shocking,” said attorney Rick Jaffe, who is representing Shaw. “Andrea Shaw did not kill her children, and that will be made abundantly clear.”
A January 15, 2026, lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James reveals that bacterial contamination, including dangerous endotoxins, forced Emergent BioSolutions to abort or reject COVID-19 vaccine batches representing up to 40 million dose-equivalents, while federal health officials were involved in discussions of the manufacturing failures.
Endotoxins are toxic bacterial components capable of triggering severe inflammation, septic shock, organ failure, and death.
Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced in the Oval Office on Oct. 20 that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is deferring an additional $1.2 billion in Medicaid funding from California over concerns of widespread fraud in its state healthcare programs.
The president's eldest son has repeatedly voiced his opposition to the nearly eight-month conflict behind closed doors, despite carefully avoiding any public criticism of his father.
Two anonymous sources who reportedly spoke directly with Trump Jr. said the MAGA leader has repeatedly questioned the military campaign, a position in line with his longstanding opposition to U.S. involvement in foreign wars.
People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities.
It also found that Brown had been making inappropriate comments, including racial insults; claiming without proof that orders were being entered in cases she oversaw without her permission; making racial insults to judges and court staffers; and “sending copious and bizarre emails to court staff and judges, including emails in the middle of the night, and copying and/or blind copying others who have no reason to be copied on such emails.”
France tallies 2,397 arrests and nearly 1,000 injured officers after Saturday’s violence, as looting flares again in Paris and politicians trade blame.
Federal agents arrested more than two dozen foreign nationals across California on Monday, for fraudulently registering and voting in U.S. elections.
Specifically, the 28 suspects are being charged with a combination of illegal voting, making a false claim of U.S. citizenship in order to vote, and “knowingly depriving the residents of California of a fair and impartial election process,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter announced at a news conference in Los Angeles.
Drones have also persisted on the capital, with nearly 100 Ukrainian UAVs having been shot down between Thursday night and Friday, local authorities reported.
But Ukraine is also getting pummeled, with whole regions without electricity in a northwest region of the country. A recent Russian assault on the eastern city of Kharkiv killed three people and injured five.
It was expected to take effect soon, as part of a big Washington ramping up of pressure to further strangle the Russian economy and thus starve Putin's war machine.
Trump has informed Congress that he must waive the new sanctions package because it is in the US national interest, at a moment he's desperately trying to get diesel prices under control amid both the Iran war and Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries.
Rather than designing separate vehicles for every environment, researchers are experimenting with interchangeable modules that could allow a single platform to perform multiple roles. The proposed vehicles would also incorporate drones to help clear obstacles and potentially accelerate amphibious landings.
Starshield is the military version of Starlink, which offers satellite internet connectivity for consumer and commercial use.
The temporary disruptions to Ukraine's Starshield access, which were reported on Oct. 14, come amid increased tension between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Adding more confusion to this whole scenario, around midday on Friday, President Trump told a gaggle of reporters that he "didn't know who gave the order on Starshield," to slow it down, claiming further that "it wasn't us."
Experts told The Epoch Times that Beijing conducts most of its U.S. intelligence operations through people already living inside the country, relying on tasks that are largely lawful—making introductions, hosting events, logging attendee lists, or looking up individuals.
These activities unfold across student clubs, hometown associations, campaign fundraisers, and university forums—the very institutions an open society intentionally keeps accessible. In Pauken’s case, his role was to identify individuals the Justice Department called “new recruitment targets” for his Chinese handlers.
Three children and one adult are dead following an active shooter situation at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon on Thursday afternoon. The suspected active shooter is also dead after an armed civilian chased the shooter into the school and killed him.
Among a cadre of Wall Street executives brought into the Pentagon during President Donald Trump’s second term, George K. Kollitides II has emerged as a powerbroker with a broad mandate to improve procurement of weapons and critical minerals.
The longtime partner at the private equity firm Alvarez & Marsal Capital has framed his tour of duty in government as a service to the country. But the work he’s leading has also been a boon to his old friends in the private sector, government procurement records show.
The library’s director also explained that the original entry had not been supported by documentation. Omar has said she became a U.S. citizen in 2000 through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, after her family arrived in the United States from Somalia in 1995.
“I became a citizen actually before I turned 18,” Omar told the Intercept in September 2018. “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.”
The one-year difference matters to that account. Someone born October 4, 1981, would have turned 18 in October 1999. Someone born October 4, 1982, would have remained 17 until October 2000.
In January, the New York Times reported that the Biden administration had begun an investigation into Omar’s finances after reports suggested she amassed a multimillion-dollar net worth since being elected to Congress.
That question takes us to one of America’s strangest gatherings: Burning Man. What began in 1986 as a small gathering around a wooden effigy on San Francisco’s Baker Beach has developed into a temporary city in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert attracting tens of thousands of people. Burning Man officially presents itself around principles such as radical inclusion, radical self-expression, communal effort, participation, and immediacy. Yet accounts from inside the event describe something far more spiritually significant than an unusual art festival. The environment includes psychedelic drugs, sexual experimentation, altered states of consciousness, New Age ideas, occult imagery, ritualistic activity, and the rejection of traditional moral boundaries. The worldview celebrated there should concern Christians because much of it represents the opposite of the biblical understanding of God, humanity, morality, sexuality, and truth.
The local outlet noted, "Ukraine relies on Starlink for several military applications including operating its mid-strike campaign in Russian-occupied Ukraine, as well as interceptor drones that defend against Russia's new jet-powered attack drones."
"The consequences are already being felt in the field. Since the start of the day alone, a drone unit operating within the 7th Corps' area of responsibility in the Huliaipole sector has had to cancel a number of missions due to these connectivity issues," Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps told the outlet.
Western media, such as the Financial Times, said Ukraine was "blindsided by Starlink restrictions and intelligence gaps during Russian attack."
Omar has said she derived citizenship through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, when he naturalized in 2000, and the law then required the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalized. Born in 1981, she'd have been an adult all of 2000 - the year she says she became a citizen at 17, the NY Post reports.
For her two years in the Minnesota House and more than four months into her congressional term, the state's Legislative Reference Library listed her birthday as Oct. 4, 1981, the same date carried by Wikipedia, the BBC and Congress's own Biographical Directory.
The Kremlin on Wednesday indicated that work on the Trump-proposed energy truce with Ukraine is continuing, but in contradiction with recent Trump proclamations did not treat it as any kind of done deal currently in effect.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Oct. 12 that he might meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his planned visit to Asia next month.
Asked by a reporter whether he expects to meet Kim during the trip, Trump said: “I may. That will be exciting, won’t it? But I get along with him.”
Zelensky has taken to X to announce a second night of heavy Russian airstrikes, but without the early warning from Western allies that his government had previously been afforded.
Ballistic missiles are rocking the capital overnight. At around or shortly before midnight Zelensky announced a new "Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv" as "Once again, no early warning from our partners. The main target was energy infrastructure, specifically CHPP-4. Unfortunately, it was hit." ...However, it's not yet definitively confirmed that Washington has cut off intelligence.
Singham, the Shanghai-based tech tycoon who has poured tens of millions into U.S. far-left groups, funds the pro-communist outlet BreakThrough News. That outlet has amplified the French unrest with “BREAKING” alerts and collages of global youth riots, framing local education grievances as part of a worldwide uprising against austerity, policing, and the West.
On the ground in Paris, hammer-and-sickle flags have flown alongside Palestinian flags. Young Communists of France have marched under “Class War” banners demanding an end to “Imperialist Wars.”

A new report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggests Beijing has developed an extensive system for monitoring battlefield innovations and incorporating them into its own military planning. Chinese defense researchers generally identify and assess new developments within several months, although implementing those findings across the People's Liberation Army (PLA) often takes considerably longer.
An attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed one person and injured 11 others, according to the country’s General Authority of Civil Aviation, one day after a Houthi attack killed another 13 at the airport—including an American.
The announcement was made after Trump reached a deal with Putin on Oct. 9 to supply diesel to the U.S. and global markets. [Which seems impossible for the Russians to fulfill.]
Congress ordered the attorney general to publish all unclassified Epstein-related records held by the Justice Department, the FBI and U.S. attorneys’ offices within 30 days of enactment. The law bars withholding on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity. The statute permits only five narrow categories of withholding or redaction.
It also requires a written justification for every redaction, published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.
A Biden-appointed judge ruled that Congress cannot ban noncitizens from voting, striking down federal charges against an illegal alien alleged to have voted in multiple federal elections in Florida.
U.S. District Judge David Leibowitz of the Southern District of Florida ruled that the Constitution only gives power to the states to regulate elections. Thus, he said, the federal government could not ban noncitizens from voting, but he said states could impose such a ban, the Washington Times reported.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two Muslim holidays into law this week, making California the second state to officially recognize them.
On Sunday, Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2017 into law, which will make Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha state holidays. That means public schools will be closed on those days and state employees will have the days off.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Thursday sued Pfizer and its CEO, Albert Bourla, alleging that the drugmaker misled the public by marketing its COVID-19 vaccine as safe and effective while not disclosing the vaccine’s potential risks to pregnant women, children and teenagers.

The administration’s efforts received praise from Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., who spent years pushing legislation giving Treasury permanent access to Social Security death records.
“Unless you were playing Frisbee in the quad during Econ 101, you know the federal government shouldn’t be sending taxpayer money to dead people,” Kennedy said.
His opinion piece titled "The Blue-State Model for Education has Failed, and the Public has Caught On" states early on that one of the reasons the public schools have gone down the drain is because of the teachers’ unions. Early in the article, Turley states, “New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S.” He then talks about the “education cartel,” a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating alliance between unions and politicians. The cartel has rendered families and students irrelevant.
The Omsk Oil refinery and industrial complex is located well over 1500 miles from the Ukrainian border. Regional Governor Vitaly Khotsenko announced Telegram that several drones were shot down by air defenses, but that one made it through to impact.
The NMESIS has a range of about 115 miles, putting it within striking range of vessels patrolling the eastern coast of Taiwan. According to The South China Morning Post, China has stepped up coast guard and naval activity in the area in response to maritime boundary talks announced in May between Japan and the Philippines.
Exporters have adapted through pipelines, bypass ports and extensive ship-to-ship transfers, but the system is more expensive, inefficient and increasingly stretched, with elevated freight and security costs.
"An Egyptian cleric, Dr. Talat Zahran, proclaimed that it is 'obligatory to cheat at elections, a beautiful thing' -- meaning that voting is a tool, an instrument, the only value of which is to empower Sharia." — Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute, May 22, 2012.

The Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group released a report Monday concluding that former Attorney General Merrick Garland's Oct. 4, 2021 school board memo grew out of pressure from the Biden White House and turned the department's law enforcement powers on parents.
Quebec's separatists are returning to government with a promise to take the province out of Canada, reopening a battle over the country's future while Ottawa is already locked in a trade war with Washington.
Unlike in prior Black Sea incidents where authorities were quick to name Russia's military as behind the attack, it is curious that in this case the Bulgarians have not been quick to make allegations as the origin of the drones has not been established.
PM Radev continued, “As a state responsible within our exclusive economic zone for the health and lives of anyone navigating in this area, regardless of who is responsible, we are obliged to conduct emergency search and rescue operations."
"What is happening is seriously disrupting shipping in the Black Sea, driving up insurance costs even further and making shipping extremely difficult," he added.

Bab el-Mandeb is increasingly at risk, raising concerns for Red Sea shipping and the wider Suez trade route.
There's no doubt that the tit-for-tat war on Black Sea shipping is getting nastier. For several months now, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have traded drone and missile attacks on ports and ships, disrupting vital Black Sea trade.
For Ukraine this national transit lifeline is even more important amid its war time economy. A major incident has unfolded Monday after an alleged direct hit by Russian drone on a Turkish cargo ship carrying grain from a Ukrainian port.
An internal investigation has uncovered widespread failures at the Internal Revenue Service after dozens of employees were flagged for suspiciously accessing confidential taxpayer records, including those belonging to government officials, business leaders and entertainers.
