Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

Ben Gvir DEFIES Protocols, Prays on Temple Mount | Arab States FUME, Warn of ‘Dangerous Escalation’

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.” #BenGvir #TempleMount #TishaBAv #AlAqsa #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEast #Jerusalem #StatusQuo #HolySite #ReligiousTensions #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #Netanyahu #PA #SaudiArabia #Jordan #AlAqsaMosque #DomeOfTheRock #JewishPrayer #BreakingNews #FarRightPolitics #InternationalCondemnation #AFPFootage #TempleMountVisit #ReligiousFlashpoint #MiddleEastNews #JerusalemConflict #HolySiteTensions #WorshipRights #GeoPolitics #ConflictZone ~ED.103~HT.408~

France & Saudi Arabia LEAD efforts for Palestinian Statehood | ‘2-State Solution’ in focus at the UN

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy. #PalestineStatehood #TwoStateSolution #Macron #Trump #Netanyahu #SaudiArabia #MohammedBinSalman #MBS #SaudiDiplomacy #UNSummit #MiddleEastPeace #FrancePalestine #GazaCrisis #ParisRiyadhInitiative #PalestinianRecognition #IsraelPalestine #UNDiplomacy #PeaceTalks #KeirStarmer #GlobalDiplomacy #GameChanger #PalestineAtUN #MiddleEastUpdate #MacronSpeech #EuropeanShift ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On [Video]

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution. Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood. #Trump #TwoStateSolution #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #UNConference #PalestinianState #MiddleEastPeace #TrumpNews #Macron #FranceUN #PalestineRecognition #SaudiArabia #Hamas #Israel #USPolitics #UNGA2025 #TrumpOnGaza #PeaceProcess #Jerusalem #GlobalDiplomacy ~HT.410~ED.194~

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

Trump’s Nobel Buzz EXPLODES As Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel & Pak Unite In Global Peace Prize Push

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year. #Trump #NobelPeacePrize #Armenia #Azerbaijan #Israel #Pakistan #Cambodia #PeaceDeal #SouthCaucasus #USDiplomacy #MiddleEast #NagornoKarabakh #Aliyev #Pashinyan #Netanyahu #HunManet #GlobalPolitics #WorldLeaders #TrumpNobel #PeaceTalks ~HT.318~ED.103~

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade [Video]

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

BREAKING: Zelensky Urges PM Modi to Meet at UNGA as Trump Threatens India Over Russian Oil

In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September. The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West. With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting.
