US carries out 8 airstrikes against Houthis
Published May 5th, 2025 - 07:26 GMT
ALBAWABA - Yemeni media announced that the United States carried out eight airstrikes in the Al-Hazm district in Al-Jawf governorate, northern the country.
The attacks come a day after the Houthi militants targeted Israel's Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile, leading to the injury of several people after the Israeli army failed to destroy it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to respond to the Houthi group at "a time and place of our choosing" over the Houthi attack near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport the same day.
President Trump is absolutely right!

Earlier, US President Donald Trump also warned that any further Houthi actions would be met with great force and that Tehran would be held accountable for these attacks.
Netanyahu agreed with Donald Trump and posted on his official X account: "President Trump is absolutely right! Attacks by the Houthis emanate from Iran. Israel will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters."
Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on Sunday that hit near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, adding they will continue to target Israel until the blockade against Gaza is lifted.

US dollar slides as sentiment soured by steel tariffs, China tensions
Ammon News - The U.S. dollar edged lower on Monday, giving back some of its gains from last week, as markets weighed the outlook for President Donald Trump's tariff policy and its potential to constrict growth and unleash inflation. The greenback starts the week on the back foot after Trump said late on Friday that he plans to double duties on imported steel and aluminum to 50% from Wednesday, and as Beijing hit back against accusations it violated an agreement on critical minerals shipments. China's Commerce Ministry said on Monday the charges were "groundless," and promised to take forceful measures to safeguard its interests, without elaborating on potential steps it could take. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will likely have a call soon, and "this will be ironed out." The dollar dropped 0.3% to 143.57 yen as of 0439 GMT, giving back some of its more than 1% rally from last week. The euro gained 0.1% to $1.1362, and sterling advanced 0.2% to $1.3485. The Australian dollar added 0.3% to $0.6453 and the New Zealand dollar rose 0.4% to $0.5994. The U.S. dollar index , which measures the currency against six major peers, eased 0.1% to 99.283. The dollar witnessed weekly tumbles of 3% against major peers in the days after the April 2 "Liberation Day" tariffs and 1.9% two weeks ago, when Trump threatened 50% levies on Europe. Last week, the greenback got a bit of respite, rising 0.3% after talks with the European Union got back on track and a U.S. trade court blocked the bulk of Trump's tariffs on the grounds that he overstepped his authority.

Gold prices climb as tariff jitters lift safe-haven demand
Ammon News - Gold prices climbed on Monday as an escalation in the Russian war in Ukraine and U.S. President Donald Trump's fresh threat to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum prompted investors to seek refuge in safe-haven bullion. Spot gold was up 0.7% at $3,311.33 an ounce, as of 0416 GMT. U.S. gold futures rose 0.6% to $3,335.40. Trump said on Friday that he plans to raise tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50% from 25%, prompting the European Commission to warn that Europe is prepared to retaliate. The U.S. dollar index edged 0.1% lower, making bullion less expensive for overseas buyers. Gold, which is considered as a safe-haven asset during the time of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, tends to thrive in low-interest rate environment. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.3% to $33.08 an ounce, platinum was down 0.4% at $1,051.63 and palladium fell 0.3% to $967.62. Reuters

Hamas says ready to 'immediately' hold round of Gaza truce talks
Hamas said Sunday it was ready to "immediately" hold a fresh round of negotiations for a truce in Gaza after recent talks appeared to hit a dead end. "The movement affirms its readiness to immediately begin a round of indirect negotiations to reach an agreement on the points of contention," Hamas said in a statement after mediators Qatar and Egypt said they would intensify their efforts for a truce in the war-battered Gaza Strip. Hamas reiterated it seeks a permanent cease-fire and the complete withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from the Gaza Strip.
