Israeli troops fire warning shots as Palestinians overwhelm new Gaza food center
MUWASI, Gaza Strip — Chaos erupted on the second day of aid operations by a new U.S.-backed group in Gaza as desperate Palestinians overwhelmed a center distributing food on Tuesday, breaking through fences. Nearby Israeli troops fired warning shots, sending people fleeing in panic.
An AP journalist heard Israeli tank and gunfire and saw a military helicopter firing flares. The Israeli military said its troops fired the warning shots in the area outside the center and that 'control over the situation was established.'

Exiled crown prince says Iranian people have 'tremendous opportunity' to topple weakened regime
The Iranian regime is weaker now than ever, and it's only a "matter of time" before it's toppled, exiled crown prince HRH Reza Pahlavi said Sunday on Fox News. Speaking on "Sunday Morning Futures," Pahlavi said the people of Iran are exactly the "boots on the ground" needed to overthrow the terrorism-sponsoring regime that has been in place for decades, and they now have a "tremendous opportunity" to make it happen. "It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when…" he told Maria Bartiromo, responding to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that Iranian senior leaders are "packing their bags" in light of his country's military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, military infrastructure and more. Netanyahu Calls On Iranian Citizens To Seize 'Opportunity' For Regime Change "The last time we spoke, I mentioned that the regime is at its weakest. As of the last three days, the regime was ten times weaker than it was two weeks ago," he added. At this stage, Pahlavi said, the Iranian people realize the "playing field" has been more equalized for them to take action and put power back into their own hands — but they need support from the outside world. Read On The Fox News App "What they need… is solidarity from the free world to, once and for all, get rid of the problem, help Iranians overcome this regime and put an end to all the threats that this regime has been the root cause of for decades now in the region and beyond." Experts Warn Iran's Nuclear Double-talk Designed To Buy Time, Undermine Us Pressure Pahlavi warned the free world that eliminating the regime is the only way to secure a better tomorrow, thereby abolishing the threat of nuclear terror, reducing the stress of global economic instability and lessening the loss of innocent victims. "The Iranian people are willing to do their part. In fact, they've done this so many times with no help whatsoever, but they're willing to risk life and limb in order to finally overcome [this regime]," he said. "Last night, people on the streets were angry, chanting death to the dictator yet again. They know who the enemy is. The regime has been giving them the slogans of 'death to America' and 'death to Israel' for the past four decades, and Iranians have been responding, 'They lie to us when they say it's America. Our enemy is right here,' meaning the regime." "Fortunately, I see that more and more people, public opinion, media [outlets] and foreign governments, are finally making a clear distinction between the people of Iran and the regime, and that's key. That tells you right there that the solution is in front of your eyes. The Iranian people are your solution. Not negotiating with a regime that cannot be trusted."

G7 summit 'all about the Donald' as Canada tries to avoid friction in the Rockies
The fresh air of Canada's Rocky Mountains clears the head. It'll need to. Here, the village of Kananaskis (population circa 130) finds itself, temporarily, the diplo-centre of the world - hosting diplomacy of the difficult kind. If this isn't quite a crisis meeting, it's a meeting amidst crisis. The is front and centre of the G7 agenda and key players have come here talking de-escalation. If they're speaking with a single voice at the start, don't hold your breath for a single strategy by the end. The G7 starring is a different movie - this isn't a gathering built necessarily on the shared understanding and common purpose that has, generally, defined the annual team meeting of the world's leading democracies. Here, an abrasive US president will schmooze leaders he's screwing on trade, undermining on defence priorities and, generally, putting at a distance. Ukraine's and South African President - both veterans of the Oval Office hair dryer treatment - are the special guests filed under specially awkward. Reaching any kind of common strategy on the Middle East will be difficult in the immediate term, as it is in the long-term. Trump is a man with a different vision for the region and, without a shared view of the destination, it's complicated from the start. The same applies to Ukraine. At this gathering, the dynamic will be all about the Donald. The centre of gravity will revolve around their US invitee, reflecting the wider picture of a world working out Trump and shaping its response accordingly. Read more from Sky News: The Canadian hosts are, reportedly, discarding the usual joint communique at the end, avoiding the potential for discord and scenes reminiscent of Trump's last G7 in during his first term, when he ripped up the agreement on his flight home. Right down to the admin, world leaders are shifting to accommodate the president so close, and yet, so far.

The EU's Mission to Win Over Trump at G-7
Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. Open hostilities between Israel and Iran, now into a fourth day, and their impact on global energy markets, will dominate discussions at the Group of Seven summit starting today in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Rising energy prices would complicate EU efforts to lower the oil-price cap to squeeze Russian revenues, one of the bloc's priorities for the 50th anniversary of the gathering but a proposal that lacks crucial US backing. Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is ready to coordinate with like-minded partners to ensure energy-market stability. Meanwhile, EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic has joined the EU delegation in Canada, seeking progress in talks with American counterparts on trade tariffs with the aim of sealing a deal before a July 9 deadline.
