Polish foreign minister takes aim at Musk after Trump clash
WARSAW: Poland's foreign minister poked fun at Elon Musk late on Thursday, returning to a social media spat from March after the Tesla and SpaceX boss spectacularly fell out with US President Donald Trump. Warsaw's top diplomat Radoslaw Sikorski found himself embroiled in an extraordinarily public clash with Musk and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in March after he said Ukraine may need an alternative to the Starlink satellite service. Amid a flurry of posts on his social media platform X, Musk had told Sikorski to 'Be quiet, small man.' On Thursday simmering tensions between Musk and Trump exploded into a public feud, as the president threatened to cut off government contracts to companies run by the world's richest man. Musk suggested Trump should be impeached. Sikorski took aim at Musk in a post on X, saying 'See, big man, politics is harder than you thought.' There was no immediate response to the post from Musk.

Israel Strikes Beirut's Suburbs to Target What It Says is Hezbollah Drone Production
The Israeli military struck several sites in Beirut's southern suburbs that it said held underground facilities used by Hezbollah for drone production Thursday, on the eve of the Eid al-Adha holiday. The strikes marked the first time in more than a month that Israel had struck on the outskirts of the capital and the fourth time since a US-brokered ceasefire agreement ended the latest war between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in November, The Associated Press said. Israel posted a warning ahead of the strikes on X, formerly known as Twitter, announcing that it would hit eight buildings at four locations. Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon since the ceasefire, which Lebanon has said are in violation of the agreement. Israeli officials say the strikes are intended to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping after a war that took out much of its senior leadership and arsenal. The Israeli army said in a statement that Hezbollah was 'working to produce thousands of drones under the guidance and financing of Iranian terrorist groups.' Hezbollah 'used drones extensively in its attacks against the State of Israel and is working to expand its drone industry and production in preparation for the next war,' the army statement said. There was no immediate statement from Hezbollah. A Hezbollah official denied that there were drone production facilities at the targeted locations. 'In the (ceasefire) agreement, there is a mechanism for investigating if there is a complaint,' the official said. 'Israel in general, and Netanyahu in particular, wants to continue the war in the region.' A Lebanese army official said the army had attempted to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations. Israeli army officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Both Lebanese officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the strikes. Aoun in a statement called them a 'blatant violation of an international agreement, as well as the basic principles of international and humanitarian laws and resolutions, on the eve of a sacred religious occasion' and said it demonstrates Israel's 'rejection of the requirements of stability, settlement and just peace in our region.' He accused Israel of using Lebanon as a 'mailbox' to send a message to the United States. He did not elaborate. Washington has been negotiating with Iran - Hezbollah's longtime backer - for a deal over Tehran's nuclear program and has warned Israel not to strike Iran in the meantime. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz in a statement praised the Israeli air force for 'perfect execution' of the strikes and said Israel will 'continue to enforce the ceasefire rules without any compromise.' He said Israel holds the 'Lebanese government directly responsible for preventing violations of the ceasefire and all terrorist activity" against Israel.' The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel began on Oct. 8, 2023 when the Lebanese militant group began launching rockets across the border in support of its ally, Hamas, in Gaza. Israel responded with airstrikes and shelling and the two were quickly locked in a low-level conflict that continued for nearly a year before escalating into full-scale war in September 2024. It killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, while the Lebanese government said in April that Israeli strikes had killed another 190 people and wounded 485 wounded since the ceasefire. There has been increasing pressure on Hezbollah - both domestic and international - to give up its remaining arsenal, but officials with the group have said they will not do so until Israel stops its airstrikes and withdraws from five points it is still occupying along the border in southern Lebanon.

Gaza aid logistics company funded by Chicago private equity firm
WASHINGTON: A Chicago-based private equity firm - controlled by a member of the family that founded American publishing company Rand McNally - has an "economic interest" in the logistics company involved in a controversial new aid distribution operation in Gaza. McNally Capital, founded in 2008 by Ward McNally, helped "support the establishment" of Safe Reach Solutions, a McNally Capital spokesperson told Reuters. SRS is a for-profit company established in Wyoming in November, state incorporation records show. It is in the spotlight for its involvement with the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which last week started distributing aid in the war-torn Palestinian enclave. The foundation paused work on Wednesday after a series of deadly shootings close to its operations and has suffered from the departure of senior personnel. • McNally Capital has economic interest in Safe Reach Solutions • GHF aid distribution halted after deadly shootings near operations • U.N. and aid groups refuse to work with GHF, citing lack of neutrality "McNally Capital has provided administrative advice to SRS and worked in collaboration with multiple parties to enable SRS to carry out its mission," the spokesperson said. "While McNally Capital has an economic interest in SRS, the firm does not actively manage SRS or have a day-to-day operating role." SRS is run by a former CIA official named Phil Reilly, but its ownership has not previously been disclosed. Reuters has not been able to establish who funds the newly created foundation. The spokesperson did not provide details of the scale of the investment in SRS by McNally Capital, which says it has $380 million under management. McNally Capital founder Ward McNally is the great great great grandson of the co-founder of Rand McNally. The McNally family sold the publishing company in 1997. A spokesperson for SRS confirmed it worked with the foundation, also known as GHF, but did not answer specific questions about ownership. GHF, which resumed aid distribution on Thursday, did not respond to a request for comment While Israel and the United States have both said they don't finance the operation, they have pushed the United Nations and international aid groups to work with it, arguing that aid distributed by a long-established U.N. aid network was diverted to Hamas. Hamas has denied that. Israel blocked almost all aid into Gaza for 11 weeks until May 19, and has since only allowed limited deliveries in, mostly managed by the new GHF operation. This week GHF pressed Israel to boost civilian safety beyond the perimeter of its distribution sites after Gazan health officials said at least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire near one of the food distribution sites on Tuesday, the third consecutive day of chaos and bloodshed to blight the aid operation. The Israeli military said its forces on Tuesday had opened fire on a group of people they viewed as a threat after they left a designated access route near the distribution center in Rafah. It said it was investigating what had happened. The U.N and most other aid groups have refused to work with GHF because they say it is not neutral and that the distribution model militarizes aid and forces displacement. The SRS spokesperson said in a statement that under Reilly's leadership, "SRS brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts in security, supply chain management, and humanitarian affairs." McNally Capital has investments in defense contracting companies. Among the firms it acquired was Orbis Operations, a firm that specializes in hiring former CIA officers. Orbis did not return calls for comment. Reilly used to work for Orbis.
