Trump Heads To Saudi Amid ā€˜$400Bn Deal’ Buzz | Will U.S. Recognize Palestine Without Hamas?

Saudi Arabia is set to host the Gulf-US Summit in mid-May during former President Trump’s second-term visit, with high-stakes announcements expected. Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may back recognition of a Palestinian state—without Hamas—in a move that could realign the Middle East. Economic deals, including tech and nuclear cooperation, are forecast to surpass $400 billion. With all Gulf leaders in attendance (except King Salman due to health), analysts predict this summit may reshape U.S.-Saudi ties and the regional power balance. #Trump #GulfSummit #USSaudiRelations #RiyadhSummit #MiddleEastPolitics #Palestine #SaudiArabia #TrumpVisit #GlobalDiplomacy #EconomicDeals #TechAgreements #Trump2025 #Riyadh #GulfLeaders #ArabWorld #MideastPeace #TrumpReturns #NuclearDeals #GulfNews #JerusalemPost #BreakingNews #Summit2025 #TrumpAbroad #ForeignPolicy #ArabSummit #PalestinianState #Geopolitics #TrumpSpeech #OilPolitics #GlobalImpact Also Read India-Saudi Arabia Relations: F15 Jets Escort PM Modi's Aircraft | Watch Video :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-saudi-arabia-relations-f15-jets-escort-pm-modi-aircraft-watch-video-4130835.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Hails India-Saudi Ties as Pillar of Stability in a Shifting World :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-hails-india-saudi-ties-as-pillar-of-stability-in-a-shifting-world-4130609.html?ref=DMDesc Energy, Defence, And Investment Top Agenda For PM Modi’s Saudi Arabia Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-saudi-visit-2025-strategic-ties-energy-trade-4129827.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

Columbia Library Protest Turns CHAOTIC as NYPD Arrests Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Amid Crackdown

Columbia University witnessed fresh unrest as pro-Palestinian protesters occupied Butler Library, prompting the university to summon the NYPD. Several demonstrators were arrested for trespassing after ignoring dispersal warnings. Tensions soared after the Trump administration pulled $400M in funding over antisemitism claims and began visa reviews of protesters. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed efforts to deport international demonstrators. Critics say the administration is using immigration and anti-terror laws to silence student dissent. Columbia leadership condemned the unrest, calling it a disruption of academic order. #ColumbiaProtests #PalestineSolidarity #NYPDArrests #TrumpCrackdown #MarcoRubio #ButlerLibrary #StudentRights #CampusUnrest #ProtestRights #VisaRevocation #Project2025 #ProjectEsther #AcademicFreedom #AntisemitismDebate #FirstAmendment #StudentDissent #ProHamasAllegations #FederalFundingCuts #ColumbiaUniversity #FREESPEECH Also Read Indian Columbia University Student Deported After Visa Revoked For 'Supporting Hamas.' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-columbia-university-student-deported-after-visa-revoked-for-supporting-hamas-4095389.html?ref=DMDesc Columbia University Expels Students for Seizing Building During Pro-Palestinian Protests Last Spring :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/columbia-university-expels-students-building-protests-011-4094797.html?ref=DMDesc Columbia University Cracks Down On Pro-Palestine Student Activists.
