Trump claims Harris will ‘invade the Middle East’ in final appeal to Arab voters
Former US president Donald Trump claims Vice President Kamala Harris will “invade the Middle East,” as he makes a final appeal to Arab and Muslim voters as he seeks their support to win in the swing state of Michigan on the eve of the election.
“We are building the biggest and broadest coalition in American political history. This includes record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan who want PEACE,” Trump writes on X.
“They know Kamala and her warmonger Cabinet will invade the Middle East, get millions of Muslims killed and start World War III,” he adds, pledging to “BRING BACK PEACE!”
US Army says soldier who suffered non-combat injury during Gaza pier operation has died
A US Army soldier who was in critical condition after suffering non-combat injuries while supporting the military’s pier off the coast of Gaza earlier this year has died, the US military says.
Sergeant Quandarius Davon Stanley, who recently retired from the military, suffered critical injuries in May while supporting operations at sea of the US-built pier designed to increase flows of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip amid Israel’s war with the Hamas terror group.
In a statement, the US Army confirms that Stanley had died, though it does not specify when. He was receiving treatment in a long-term care medical center.
“Stanley was an instrumental and well respected first line leader in the 7th Transportation Brigade Expeditionary (TBX), especially during the mission to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza,” Colonel John “Eddie” Gray, commander of the unit, says.
Three US troops sustained non-combat injuries during the pier operation, but the other two suffered minor injuries and have returned to duty.
Israel’s UN envoy accuses Turkey of ‘malice’ over call for arms embargo on Israel
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations accuses Turkey of “malice,” after Ankara submitted a letter signed by 52 countries calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel over the war in Gaza, where it is battling the Hamas terror group.
“What else can be expected from a country whose actions are driven by malice in an attempt to create conflicts with the support of the ‘Axis of Evil’ countries,” says Ambassador Danny Danon, using a term that commonly refers to Iran and its allies.
Turkey’s foreign ministry said Sunday it had submitted the letter to the United Nations, with the signatories including the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
