Mark Levin torches UK leader Starmer, details why he's 'sick and tired' of Europe's lectures to Israel
"I'm a little sick and tired of these Western Europeans lecturing the state of Israel about how to fight a war," the "Life, Liberty and Levin" host said on "America's Newsroom."
"If they had had their way, Israel already would have surrendered to Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. These guys [European leaders] don't know how to fight a war, they don't know how to defend their own people, they have open immigration, their countries have been taken over… They have no rational policy at all for Israel to defend itself and protect itself."
Levin said what Starmer and other European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron expect from Israel is an "impossibility" and asked what the nations have done to de-escalate the conflict and humanitarian crisis in the region.
"[Israel] is the only country in the history of modern warfare that has fed the citizens of its enemy in a time of war… We have never done it. No country has ever done it. Israel, their IDF is dying every day. Nobody cares about it. Nobody reports about it. They're fighting a defensive war, they've said enough is enough, and they're being told 'You need to feed the enemy while you defeat the enemy, while you have a ceasefire, while you have peace,' and this jackass in Britain is sitting there saying, 'We're going to have a two-state solution.'
"Somebody posted, 'that's like giving the Third Reich a country before it's defeated' for the purposes of a ceasefire," said Levin, author of the new book, "On Power."
The conservative host also slammed legacy media outlets for misrepresenting starvation in Gaza and pinning the responsibility on Israel, particularly pointing to an instance of an emaciated child with preexisting health conditions who was framed as starving.
Starmer warned during a press conference Tuesday that the United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and move toward peace in Gaza by September.
"I can confirm that the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, unless the Israeli government take substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution," Starmer told reporters.
"This includes allowing the U.N. to restart the supply of aid and making clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank."
Starmer's move followed similar rhetoric from France.
The Labour Party leader also urged Hamas to take steps to do its part in restoring peace.
"Meanwhile, our message to the terrorists of Hamas is unchanged and unequivocal. They must immediately release all the hostages. Sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza," he continued.
The development came shortly after President Trump met with Starmer in Scotland.
Trump declined to endorse Starmer's move in a statement to reporters aboard Air Force One.

Rubio to head commission on Ukraine security guarantees
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead a newly formed joint commission that will work on forging a security guarantees proposal for Ukraine, an administration official told The Hill's sister network NewsNation on Tuesday. The commission will be made up of U.S., Ukrainian, European and NATO officials. The agreement for the commission came during Monday's White House meeting between President Trump and the seven European leaders who visited Washington. The news of Rubio as the commission's head was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The outlet reported Monday night that Ukraine's security assurances will be made up of four parts: air defense, a military presence, tracking the cessation of fighting and armaments, citing European officials familiar with the matter. Rubio, who is also Trump's national security advisor, was one of three U.S. officials to participate in a closed-door meeting with the Russian delegation on Friday in Alaska, headed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump talked to Putin over the phone on Monday after the meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. Neither Zelensky nor European officials were in the room when the president spoke with the Kremlin leader. 'I didn't do it in front of them — I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin. I wouldn't do that, because they have not had the warmest relations,' Trump told Fox News's 'Fox & Friends' on Tuesday. The call lasted for around 40 minutes, with the president telling Putin that the administration will set up a meeting between the Kremlin leader and Zelensky, which Russia has so far refused to commit to. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Kremlin is not turning down talks with Ukraine and added that Trump has an invitation to come to Moscow. Trump, who has pressed to help end the Russia-Ukraine war, one that has been raging for about three-and-a-half years, floated on Tuesday providing air support for Kyiv as part of security guarantees. 'We're willing to help them with things, especially, probably, if you talk about by air because nobody has stuff we have,' the president said. The Russian foreign minister warned NATO leaders against summoning NATO forces to Ukraine as part of a peace deal.

Why Oval Office map has played crucial role in Trump's view of Ukraine war
Russia has occupied a fifth of Ukrainian territory - and a big map showing the area shaded in red was put up in the Oval Office as if to emphasise that point for President Donald Trump's talks with Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday. "I assume you've all seen the map," Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. "A big chunk of territory is taken and that territory has been taken." The message from the White House to Ukraine is unmistakable. That land has gone and it is time to consider a territorial compromise with Vladimir Putin or, as some have termed it, land swaps. Zelensky's team had brought their own map to the meeting and the Ukrainian leader said later he had been "fighting with what is on that map" during his conversation with Trump, regarding "who controls what – not by hearsay, but in reality". Although he felt he had made some headway on correcting any false impressions, by Tuesday Trump's view was the same. It was clear, he said, that Russia's force was "so clearly much more powerful, and you know, it's not like they've stopped". Asked what the feeling was like in the room with European leaders regarding land swaps he said: "Now they're talking about Donbas, but Donbas right now is... 79% owned and controlled by Russia." Read more: Tracking the war in Ukraine with maps Before the war began in the east in 2014, Ukraine's wealthy mining region of Donbas made up about 16% of Ukraine's economic output. Putin is reported to have told Trump he wants the whole Donbas region as part of a broad peace deal. It would certainly save Russia's leader a considerable amount of blood and treasure. Zelensky said he had also argued about the percentages on the White House map that showed Russian control in a number of Ukrainian regions, ranging from 99% of Luhansk and 76% of Donetsk in Donbas; 73% of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in the south-east; 4% in Kharkiv in the north-east; and 1% in Sumy and Mykolaiv. Analysis of latest data from the US-based Institute for the Study of War has resulted in similar figures to the White House, and any differences could be down to different methodology used, especially over the extent of Russian control of an area. Part could be under limited control or merely claimed by Moscow. In areas where the White House suggests 1% of a region is under Russian control, that may reflect only that the Russians have some limited presence, as in Mykolaiv in the south, or where they have largely been repelled, as in Sumy in the north. Whatever the real figure for Russian control in Donetsk, the fortress cities of Kramatorsk and neighbouring Slovyansk in Donetsk region are still home to large populations. Local officials say about 242,000 people live in Ukrainian-controlled areas of Donetsk region, and no Ukrainian head of state would consider handing their territory to Moscow. Although Russian forces have made advances in recent months, ISW estimates that seizing the remainder of the Donetsk region would "very likely take Russian forces multiple years to complete after several difficult campaigns". Zelensky said the Ukrainian map he had shown Trump showed in the past 1,000 days Russia had managed to occupy less than 1% of Ukrainian territory. Analysts from Ukraine's DeepStateUA mapping group said that translated to 5,842 sq km since November 2022. While Russia did achieve operational success during the early days of the full-scale invasion, DeepState points out a large proportion of occupied territory was then liberated. Russia has, however, made undeniable advances in the past two to three months, even if more broadly the front line has shifted little since the early months of the war. Defence analyst Konrad Muzyka, who heads Rochan Consulting, says the Russian advance has clearly accelerated in some areas of the east around Kupiansk in Kharkiv region and Kreminna in Luhansk. "We are seeing far more fires and the Ukrainians are not really able to deploy enough firefighters to put them out," he told the BBC. Muzyka cites a lack of Ukrainian manpower to defend a long front line but also Russia's increased use of drones targeting soldiers, their equipment and particularly their artillery. Meanwhile, Russia has recently been able to recruit 30-35,000 soldiers a month and even with the heavy losses they have sustained on the ground they have been able to build up large operational and strategic reserve forces, he says. But Russia's rapid gains in limited areas of the east have not so far been matched elsewhere. One attempted Russian land grab 10-15km into Ukrainian-controlled territory near Dobropillya in Donetsk region was successfully fought off by Ukrainian forces last week, according to Ukraine's military leaders. And although Russia does hold some pockets of land in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions, Ukraine is still in control of an estimated 6,600 sq km of Donbas. Putin has not just laid claim to broad swathes of Ukraine, he has already annexed four regions as well as Crimea, even though many areas are out of his reach. The UK's defence intelligence update estimated recently that based just on Russia's "incremental battlefield advances so far in 2025" it would take 4.4 more years just to seize the four regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. That alone explains the different perspectives of Trump and Zelensky when it comes to maps showing the 1,200km front line in Ukraine. "Thank you for the map, by the way, it was great," Zelensky told him despite their differences, "I'm thinking how to take it back." Four key takeaways from Ukraine talks in Washington Zelensky leaves White House unscathed as he buys more time

Trump and Zelenskyy's meeting with European leaders marks a historic moment
WASHINGTON — Seven European leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington on Monday in a rare display of trans-Atlantic unity. The gathering marked the first time in decades that such a broad delegation of allies had assembled at the White House under such pressing circumstances. Shortly after noon, one by one, the heads of state and NATO partners passed the White House gates, where they were met by President Donald Trump's chief of protocol, and in Zelenskyy's case, by Trump himself. Some met with Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and other officials that morning. Others made their way to the White House directly from Dulles and other airports. They were there to bolster Zelenskyy after a disastrous White House visit in February, when he clashed with Trump and Vice President JD Vance — and after Trump held a nearly three-hour one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. The show of support for Zelenskyy involved French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who pivoted from their own national agendas to present a united front as Trump seeks an urgent end to Russia's war in Ukraine. The display took place within days of Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska and ahead of a possible Trump-brokered meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy as Trump casts himself as a potential peace broker. Inside the Oval Office on Monday, evoking a boardroom scene, Trump sat behind the Resolute desk, military flags at his back, as Zelenskyy and the European delegation faced him, as reflected in a photo shared by the White House. Made of oak timbers taken from a British ship, the desk is a hulking 19th century reminder of goodwill between important allies, a gift from Britain's Queen Victoria to the United States. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are seen orbiting in the background, along with senior White House staff members. There are few precedents for the gathering, which merged diplomacy with Trump's usual verve. In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt hosted Winston Churchill off the coast of Newfoundland to sign the Atlantic Charter, laying out the Allied aims for the end of World War II and meetings that would decide the fate of Europe and Asia. During the Cold War, summits in Washington helped decide the terms of German reunification. They included meetings with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev amid a key question over whether Germany would join NATO. And in 1950, the British prime minister rushed to Washington to consult Harry Truman over fears of the possible use of nuclear weapons during the Korean War. 'Washington has often been the scene of these great moments of diplomacy. But it was the speed with which this came together that was so striking and sets this apart,' said Marc Selverstone, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs. 'Everyone realized this was a crisis moment.' The urgency was reflected in how quickly the past few days' events came together: Trump's talks with Putin on Friday were followed by the leaders' arrival in Washington on Monday morning. 'Every single one of them got on a plane 48 hours later and flew to the United States of America,' said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, rushing to Washington in a bid to keep momentum toward peace in Ukraine alive. The day also offered other made-for-TV moments, as Trump escorted the leaders to a gift shop of sorts, which he dubbed the 'Monica Lewinsky room' in reference to a former president's trysts, where he showed off rows of fire engine red hats emblazoned with his campaign slogans, including one for 2028. At another point, Trump deflected a question to Zelenskyy about Ukraine's elections to joke about serving a third term himself. Told through photos shared online by his team, Trump presented a towering figure in Monday's meetings. In a picture posted by deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, Zelenskyy stood before a map of Ukraine as Trump looked down at him. Another image posted by the White House showed Trump seated behind his historic desk, this time with Vance and Rubio before him, the phone handset resting on the desk as he talked with Putin. For Zelenskyy, Monday also offered a reset. After a tense Oval Office meeting this year, he struck a more diplomatic tone Monday, offering Trump and others his thanks more than a dozen times, including for the invitation, for Trump's efforts 'to stop killings and stop this war,' for Melania Trump's letter to Putin asking him to protect children, for a program to purchase American weapons and to the European partners for their support. On his X account, he offered profuse, continued thanks well into Tuesday. Wearing a suit instead of his usual military fatigues, he told Trump as he greeted him that the attire was 'the best I had.' 'I love it,' Trump said, ultimately sharing a video of the warm exchange on his social media platform, Truth Social. Asked what his message to the people of Ukraine was, Trump told a reporter, 'We love them.' Vance, who had publicly clashed with Zelenskyy in their last White House meeting, also sought to smooth relations, posting a photo of their handshake. Finland's participation carried its own symbolic weight, with one reminder of a path out of a seemingly intractable conflict with a nuclear-powered Soviet Union, which Stubb referred to directly. 'We, of course, have our own historical experience with Russia from World War II, the Winter War and the War of Continuation,' Stubb said. 'And if I look at the silver lining of where we stand right now, we found a solution in 1944, and I'm sure we'll be able to find a solution in 2025.'
