Trump Sides with Putin: Demands Zelensky Accept Peace Deal on Kremlin’s Terms | U.S-Ukraine Showdown

US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia.

Pro-Hamas Mob Holds Israeli Cruise Passengers Hostage in Greece? Protesters BLOCK Israelis | Video

Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety. #IsraelisStranded #GreekPortProtest #ProPalestinianProtest #ManoMaritime #SyrosProtest #CruiseShipChaos #IsraelGreeceTension #PalestinianSolidarity #CrownIrisIncident #AntiIsraelProtest #TouristsTrapped #GreekIslandBlockade #IsraelTravelBan #SyrosDemonstration #MaritimeStandoff ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal fails, pressure mounts on the Israeli government. Thousands rallied across Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding action to bring hostages home.

Rubio SHOCKS Ukraine With ‘Land Concession’ Remark | Zelensky REJECTS Putin’s Donbas Demand

Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia. #UkraineWar #MarcoRubio #Zelensky #Putin #RussiaUkraine #Donbas #NoLandForInvaders #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #USPolitics #WashingtonDC #Kyiv #EuropeanUnion #Geopolitics #RubioRemarks #GlobalSecurity #StopTheWar #UkraineStrong #WorldNews #Diplomacy #RussiaSanctions #PeaceTalks #NATO #Biden #USForeignPolicy #WarUpdate #InternationalRelations #RussiaVsUkraine #ConflictResolution #ZelenskySpeech #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Says No Agreement On Ending Russia's War In Ukraine As Putin Says There Was An 'Understanding' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-no-agreement-on-ending-russia-war-ukraine-putin-7831387.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

Amid nationwide protests and strikes in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed demonstrators for delaying a potential hostage release deal with Hamas. Thousands of Israelis blocked roads demanding a ceasefire and the return of hostages, while families accused Netanyahu of lying and prolonging the war.

Subway Sandwich Attack: DC Man Charged Attacks Federal Agent Amid Trump Crime Crackdown

In a bizarre twist to Washington, D.C.’s ongoing crime crackdown, a man is facing felony assault charges for allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. Authorities say Sean Charles Dunn confronted the agent in the U Street area, hurling obscenities before “forcefully” tossing the sandwich into the officer’s chest. The incident unfolded amid President Donald Trump’s recent federalization of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, deploying National Guard troops and multiple federal agencies to patrol the city. After a brief chase, Dunn allegedly confessed to the assault. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro slammed the act, warning, “Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.” The strange but serious case underscores the tense climate in the capital following Trump’s law-and-order push. #DCCrime #Trump #JeaninePirro #USCapitol #FelonyAssault #SandwichAttack #CBP #NationalGuard #BreakingNews #CrimeUpdate #DCCrackdown #LawEnforcement #BizarreCrime #FBI #DEA #USCapitolPolice #ATF #WashingtonDC #OfficerSafety #TrumpCrimePlan ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump's D.C Police Takeover Explained: What Changes For American Police? How Dangerous is it?

President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide. #Trump #WashingtonDC #PoliceTakeover #NationalGuard #DCLawEnforcement #MetropolitanPolice #HomeRuleAct #PamBondi #FederalControl #LawEnforcement #USPolitics #BreakingNews #PoliceReform #CrimePolicy #Accountability #PoliceSupport #FBI #DEA #BorderPatrol #MPD #LawAndOrder #DCNews #PolicePowers #FederalAuthority #PoliticalNews #TrumpOrders #PublicSafety #PolicePolicy #DOJ #DCPolitics #USNews Also Read President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?
