Zelensky's Drones Plunge 150,000 Into Darkness, Strike Homes & Railways; Kills Civilian In Car Blast
The Trump administration has strongly criticised the current UN conference on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia. The State Department called the event 'unproductive and ill-timed,' accusing it of prolonging the war and emboldening Hamas. Officials described the conference as a publicity stunt undermining delicate diplomatic efforts to achieve peace and free hostages. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously called such efforts a 'slap in the face' to the victims of the October 7 attack. Although the US is not participating in the conference, it reaffirmed its commitment to peace initiatives in the region. The statement also condemned French President Emmanuel Macron's recognition of a Palestinian state, which was welcomed by both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Criticism was notably absent for Saudi Arabia, reflecting the Trump administration's close ties with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. While avoiding an official position on the two-state solution, Trump officials have avoided criticising recent Israeli policies challenging that framework. The focus remains on promoting peace while opposing gestures thought to hinder diplomatic progress.#IsraelPalestine #UNConference #TwoStateSolution #TrumpAdministration #MiddleEastPeace #HamasConflict #DiplomaticEfforts #Macron #SaudiArabia #PeaceProcess

Trump reacts to New York skyscraper shooting: ‘A crazed lunatic'
US President Donald Trump has called the New York City office building shooting - in which a gunman shot four people before shooting himself dead — a 'senseless act of violence' carried out by a 'lunatic.' President Trump said on social media that he had been briefed on Monday night's shooting incident in a Manhattan skyscraper. "I trust our law enforcement agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence," Trump posted.

Blackstone executive killed in shooting at Manhattan office building in New York The gunman was identified by police as Shane Tamura, a former high school American football player once considered a rising talent. Authorities say he was reportedly carrying a note that mentioned CTE — a brain condition linked to repeated head trauma in contact sports. The chaos began around 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) when reports of gunfire triggered a massive police response in a busy office area on Park Avenue — a well-known part of New York popular with tourists and business travellers. A woman from a nearby office was seen in tears as she left the area once the lockdown was lifted. Another person described how the gunman moved from floor to floor just as workers were getting ready to head home.

"Everyone was confused with like, 'wait, what's going on?' And then someone finally realised that it's online, that someone walked in with a machine gun," said Sakib, who was wearing a grey suit jacket.
