Trump regiert praktisch im Alleingang – wie lang noch?

What an amazing evening commemorating 30 years to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in Tel Aviv tonight. Mise en scene impressively by filmmaker Amos Gitai. Rabin still touches many because of his sincerity. He knew peace is a difficult proposition - and still went for it, no matter the risk

A sober analysis of the much hyped Tomahawk story:
"Whether or not Tomahawks arrive in Ukraine, this will not decide the war. What matters far more is that European governments continue to invest substantial funds directly into Ukraine’s missile sector."

The way I recall it, Hungary receives Western (=EU) financial support. So by that standard, Hungary should not behave "as if it were completely sovereign", right?
Hungarian PM Orban once again questioned Ukraine’s sovereignty, claiming it is “not fully independent” because of Western military support and should not behave “as if it were completely sovereign.”
Kremlin propaganda.

Interesting article about NATO's 5% target of defense spending and the creative math that's applied to fulfill it. The direction, however, is clear: from 'pensions to panzers' 👇
The scope of the 1.5% pledge for security-related spending is so woolly it verges on gimmickry. The reality is that most countries will easily meet that part of the target, because it covers things they were already doing
Dodgy defence maths conquers in Europe

The USA made it quite clear what they thought about the strike in Qatar:
“Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel’s or America’s goals.”

Ever been to the 'Giostra del Saracino' in Arezzo/Italy? If not, I can highly recommend it. It's quite a spectacle with lots of historic references and great horsemanship. And of course an intense dose of city rivalry 😊

Great story in @haaretzcom.bsky.social about Rabbi Yosef Blau who co-signed a letter calling on Israel to assume "its share of responsibility" for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His answer to a critic who said this letter might fuel antisemitism: "I think not taking a stand increases antisemitism."
