Breitbart: Watch Live: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Meets President Trump at the White House
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at the White House on February 4, marking Trump's first official meeting with a foreign leader in his second term. Prior to this, Trump had met with several other world leaders during his inauguration.
Trump's administration played a key role in negotiating a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas before he took office, despite President Joe Biden's attempts to claim credit for the agreement.
Breitbart: Trump Restores 'Maximum Pressure' Policy to Keep Iran from Possessing Nukes
President Trump has reinstated the "maximum pressure" policy on Iran through a new executive order, aiming to impose financial sanctions to curb the regime's funding of terrorism. This follows a history of sanctions during his first term, which significantly limited Iran's influence in the Middle East.
The order comes amid escalating tensions, with Trump warning Iran against any threats to his life, stating that such actions would lead to severe consequences. This policy shift contrasts with the previous administration's approach, which offered concessions to Iran, coinciding with a notable increase in terrorist activities, including the recent Hamas attack on Israel.
The Epoch Times: Decades-Long Chinese Influence in Panama Begins to Unravel
Louis Sola's family lost a $30 million cruise port project in Panama after the government aligned with China's Belt and Road Initiative in 2017. This led to the nationalization of the project, which was awarded to a Chinese company, raising concerns about Chinese influence over the strategically vital Panama Canal.
Recent developments indicate a shift, as Panama's president announced the non-renewal of the Belt and Road agreement, a move seen as a response to U.S. pressure. However, concerns remain regarding Chinese control over key ports and infrastructure, which some analysts argue poses a national security risk to the U.S. due to potential violations of the U.S.–Panama Neutrality Treaty.
Breitbart: Trump: U.S. Will Take Over Gaza, 'We Will Own It'

This unexpected plan drew a cautious endorsement from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who acknowledged its potential historical significance. Trump's comments reflect a controversial stance on Palestinian territorial control, which remains a sensitive topic in the region.

GB News: REVEALED: How much YOU could lose if Reeves slashes tax relief on ISAs – pensioners MOST at risk
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is considering changes to tax-free ISAs to stimulate economic growth. This includes potentially reducing tax relief on ISAs, which could encourage spending or riskier investments. However, experts warn that such reforms may disproportionately impact older savers who prefer low-risk options.
Currently, individuals can earn tax-free interest on up to £20,000 in cash ISAs. If tax relief is removed, earnings could significantly decrease based on income tax bands. In 2022/23, 12.4 million adults held ISAs, reflecting their popularity since their introduction in 1999.
