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~

Yemeni Drones Pound Israeli Sites-3 Blasts Light Up Night Sky |Retaliation Footage Shows Direct Hits

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza. The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza. This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gaza’s borders. Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation. Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring. #Yemen #Israel #GazaWar #DroneStrike #Houthis #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #RedSeaCrisis #Ashkelon #Haifa #YemeniDrones #IDF #RetaliationStrike #OccupiedTerritories #WarFootage #GazaUnderAttack #HouthiResistance #WarEscalation #MilitaryNews #WorldWarWarning ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~ED.103~

‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal. As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed. #gaza #hamas #israel #trump #witkoff #hostagecrisis #ceasefire #gazawar #palestine #netanyahu #usenvoy #twostatesolution #humanitariancatastrophe #gazafamine #idf #reconstruction #telavivprotests #gazaceasefire #hamasdisarmament #middleeastpeace ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~
