We also look at the upcoming summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and the US president's decision to deploy National Guard troops to Washington, DC, to combat crime.

Netanyahu Has Become a ‘Problem in Himself': Danish PM

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Saturday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become 'now a problem in himself,' according to AFP. Considering Political, Trade Pressure During an interview with the Jyllands-Posten daily, Frederiksen stated that she would try to put pressure on Israel to put an immediate end to the Gaza war as Denmark currently holds the EU presidency. She also condemned the 'absolutely appalling and catastrophic' humanitarian situation in Gaza and new settlement project in the occupied West Bank. 'We are one of the countries that wants to increase pressure on Israel, but we have not yet obtained the support of EU members,' she added. Crucially, Frederiksen also noted that she intended to explore options for 'political pressure and sanctions — whether targeting settlers, ministers, or even Israel as a whole — including measures related to trade and research.' 'We are not ruling anything out in advance. Just as with Russia, we are designing the sanctions to target where we believe they will have the greatest effect,' she added. Gaza War Currently, Israel is facing regional and international pressure to put an end to its war in the Palestinian enclave and allow the delivery of more aid. At the same time, the Israeli government has been facing harsh criticism from countries, nations, and individuals who considered the war as a genocide or ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War, the Israeli strikes have killed more than 61,499 Palestinians and wounded over 152,800, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Dozens of Gazans including children have lost their souls due to malnutrition throughout the war that caused unthinkable humanitarian conditions.
