Out east the line tightens. NATO moves forty thousand toward Poland as Zapad 2025 nears. Drones drift over the border; the gates close. Belarus says thirteen thousand troops; analysts fear more. Germany stands watch.

Ma’ale Adumim pushes an E1 plan to house twenty thousand in ten to fifteen years. It would split the West Bank and deny a Palestinian state. Netanyahu says nothing; delays mount. Critics warn of annexation.

France demands the release of three citizens held in Iran and won’t say about swapping one for an Iranian student.

In Utah, Charlie Kirk’s assassination jolts the White House and turns talk from policy to grief. Trump’s inner circle, led by Susie Wiles, treats him as family and a possible successor. Advisers’ posts mark a generational moment in MAGA.

Hollywood figures pledge to boycott Israeli cinema over Gaza, calling it genocide. Some call the move hypocritical, a neo-McCarthyite crackdown that polices Israel while ignoring other crises.
