    Netanyahu Blocks Transfer of US-Funded Iron Dome Batteries to Ukraine

    In 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vetoed the transfer of Iron Dome air defense systems from the United States to Ukraine, despite the systems being paid for by the U.S. government. The veto was based on conditions in a joint production agreement that gives Israel the final say on the system's use. Netanyahu cited fears that the technology could fall into Iranian hands as a reason for the refusal. The move has put Israel and Ukraine in competition for additional American military resources.

    Liberal Podcaster Scott Galloway Criticizes NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Property Database

    Prominent liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway has criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's publicly accessible database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city's proposed pied-à-terre tax. Galloway argues that publishing property owners' information turns a legitimate tax proposal into a 'wanted poster', potentially endangering landowners like himself. He believes Mamdani is vindicating conservatives’ worst fears and making it harder for all progressives.

    Mujović Refuses to Resign After Councilors Reject Work Report

    Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović has refused to resign despite failing to secure support for his work report from the majority of councilors in the Main City Assembly. He attributed the non-adoption of the report to political relations and stated that he did not want to make compromises for the sake of his function. Mujović pointed to several projects implemented during his term, such as the cleaning of the Mareza channel and the renovation of the Crvena Stijena stadium, as evidence of his administration's achievements. Meanwhile, Miloš Durićković, an expert of the European Union, criticized Mujović's statements as lacking foundation in reality and aiming to demonize the opposition. The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) called for Mujović's resignation, stating that his continued presence in office without a clear assembly majority would only prolong the political agony in Podgorica.
