Ramaphosa Trolls Qatar’s Jet Gift to Trump With Savage Swipe: 'I Don’t Even Have a Plane to Give!'
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stole the spotlight with a sharply delivered remark that left world leaders—and social media—buzzing.
In what appeared to be a cheeky jab at the recent headlines around Qatar gifting a private jet to Donald Trump, Ramaphosa quipped during a diplomatic exchange: “I don’t even have a plane to give!”
The unexpected comment, made in Trump's presence, was met with laughter and raised eyebrows at the high-level event.
While Qatar’s controversial gesture drew criticism and praise across political lines, Ramaphosa’s unfiltered response added a bold twist to the narrative.
In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.

As Donald Trump intensifies his tariff war on nations like India and Brazil, a BRICS Strategic Awakening is underway. The five-member bloc—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is realigning its collective strength to challenge Washington’s high-handedness. With renewed cooperation and resistance, this BRICS Strategic Awakening could reshape the global trade order. From bilateral pacts to bold diplomatic moves, the BRICS Strategic Awakening signals a global shift towards multipolarity.

Donald Trump issued a bold warning to BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—accusing them of trying to “undermine the dollar.” Trump declared a 10% tariff would hit any country aligning with BRICS or challenging U.S. currency dominance. “The dollar is king. We’re going to keep it that way,” he asserted. The statement signals Trump’s aggressive stance on global finance and hints at harsh penalties for nations embracing BRICS’ alternative trade frameworks or currency cooperation.

Hamas welcomed the BRICS summit statement demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and full Israeli withdrawal. The BRICS communiqué accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war and condemned its ongoing military siege. With over 57,400 Palestinians killed, BRICS backed Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital. Hamas urged BRICS nations-including China, Russia, and South Africa-to intensify global pressure on Israel’s blockade and occupation. The group also reaffirmed support for UNRWA and denounced aid politicization in Gaza.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

Hamas has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with U.S. support, in a bid to halt escalating violence in Gaza. The plan includes the return of half the hostages taken since October 7 and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by Israel. While Hamas has confirmed its approval, the Israeli government has yet to respond, and tensions remain high as Netanyahu had earlier approved plans to seize Gaza City. Protests have erupted in Israel, and Gaza residents continue to flee in fear of a renewed offensive. Is this ceasefire a path to lasting peace or a temporary pause in a volatile war? Watch the full update to understand the stakes.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.
