European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?

A massive wildfire has broken out between Nazareth and Yafa an-Naseriyye in northern Israel, rapidly spreading due to intense heat, dry vegetation, and strong winds. The blaze, which threatened residential neighborhoods, agricultural lands, and commercial zones, prompted an urgent emergency response.
Over 11 firefighting teams and three aircraft were deployed to battle the flames from both ground and air. Israel Police joined efforts to evacuate roads and safeguard critical infrastructure. Fire and Rescue officials confirmed the firefront was halted just meters from the first line of homes, averting a major catastrophe.
