    U.S. Doubts Israeli Warnings of Iranian Assassination Plot Against Trump

    U.S. intelligence officials have expressed skepticism about Israeli warnings of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump, according to multiple reports. The warnings, which included potential sniper attacks and missile strikes, were deemed low-credibility by some U.S. officials and analysts. The Israeli warnings were seen as an attempt to influence U.S. policy in the Middle East rather than genuine threats.

    UK Refuses to Release Info on Israeli Firm's Alleged Scottish Election Interference

    The UK Government has refused to release information it holds about alleged Israeli-linked interference in the Scottish Parliament elections. This follows a report by Viginum, France’s agency responsible for countering foreign digital interference, which identified the Israeli-linked firm BlackCore as being involved in influence operations targeting elections in Scotland, France and New York City. In Scotland, Viginum identified the mobilisation of at least 256 social-media accounts targeting First Minister John Swinney and the SNP. After BlackCore was publicly exposed, its online presence disappeared, while the identities of those behind the operation remain unknown. Following FOI requests seeking UK and Scottish Government correspondence, the UK Cabinet Office withheld all information.

    100 Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Mosque Under Israeli Protection

    Approximately 100 settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, performing provocative tours and Talmudic prayers inside its courtyards. The incident occurred under heavy protection from Israeli occupation police and special forces. The settlers entered through the Moroccan Gate and exited through the Chain Gate. Israeli police imposed restrictions on young men and worshipers, preventing some from entering the mosque. This practice aims to impose new facts on the ground within Al-Aqsa Mosque, attempting to establish temporal and spatial division. Meanwhile, occupation authorities escalated banning decisions against individuals from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, targeting religious figures, public figures, and Jerusalemite citizens.

Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi and SP MP Ramgopal Yadav supported Gandhi's stance, stating that the opposition has legitimate demands and that the government should respect parliamentary traditions and conventions.

    Myanmar Military Escalates Airstrikes on Civilians

    Myanmar's military has intensified aerial attacks on civilians, with war crimes and abuses including torture and sexual violence committed by all sides in the country's civil war, according to UN investigators. The military stepped up such attacks and other crimes against civilians in the lead-up to elections held last December and January, with strikes continuing unabated. The military is increasingly using drones, motorized paragliders, and other low-cost aircraft for low-altitude strikes using unguided explosives.
