'An indelible stain on Norway': Trump fumes over Nobel Peace Prize snub

Donald Trumppresident
And this is an indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision,
Donald Trumppresident
Despite all of this and all of these unbelievable accomplishments, the Nobel Prize was given out today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. I've never heard of the person,
With Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, and probably a piece of the United States before we obliterated them.”

US Lt-Gen Salene critiques Netanyahu, Israeli government for stalling Trump's Gaza plan

Now, the coalition that we lead has nine other nations inside this coalition. The United States coordinates inside this coalition to ensure it is not too far left, not too far right, down the middle to align these efforts. Other actors are on the stage who are not in our coalition. I want to argue there are other actors that have a relationship with the Palestinian authorities that's not in our interest. Russia and China would come to mind,
A destabilization is likely to affect the stability of Jordan. As a US Central Command officer, the stability of Jordan matters. It's important to you. It's important to us. It's important to the bigger picture, to the wider strategic question, which remains open."
Security coordination. What is it then the United States can do to support the security coordination? There are two parts. The first part, respect and understand what exists and not get in the way."
In a practical and technical institutional capability in accounting, I will share with you that there are people on the other side who work on de-radicalization, who push on education, who know that their structure is wrong."
21 years ago, we received funding from my government to provide police forces non-lethal training…we're not paying for an army. We don't support an army. We support police forces, and I offered that there were questions about what it is for the IDF and the security services."
I would also share with you a reflection: the way that it appears to me that the IDF and other security professionals view threat. Normally, our doctrine tells us we view threat…as capability plus intent. What I have noticed now is that they reflect threat as capability. That many IDF security professionals view capability as equal in a threat, I think they're reflecting some of the policy guidance they receive and some of the societal pressures that they feel. But in this regard, it's helping to understand this environment,
Because in your society and where we are right now, with the open fronts and the open question of Iran, I know that the risk tolerance here is very low, perhaps non-existent. The risk tolerance is low and non-existent."
Hamas is then not confined just to one place. It's not confined to just Gaza. It's not confined to Judea and Samaria. It exists in Jordan and in Syria, and in Lebanon, and we have financiers in Florida, and in Europe. So this understanding is priority number one for counterterrorism: a broader view of Hamas as an ecosystem,
While some of these would be outside the authorities and the arena that I have, I will also share with you that there are very few serving officers in the United States military who focus on the West Bank problem set, 16 to be exact,
So in this case, the provision of basic social services…undermines the Hamas' argument, which then helps us in the wider picture in a struggle with the movement, which extends far beyond this country."

Ethiopian-Eritrean fighting raises fears of wider war as Egypt builds Red Sea alliance

In an October 8 letter to the UN Security Council, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos accused Eritrea of invading Ethiopian territory and demanded that its troops withdraw

There are 22 countries involved in the Sudanese crisis,
Israel is behind Ethiopia in this effort. This is clear Israeli policy,
I don’t blame these four countries. I blame Abiy Ahmed squarely,
There is a way where Egypt’s interest is kept, and Ethiopia’s interest is kept,
