U.S. President Donald Trump called himself a “war hero” on Tuesday for approving airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Calling into conservative host Mark Levin’s radio show, Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “a war hero ‘cause we worked together.”

“He’s a war hero. I guess I am too,” Trump said. “Nobody cares. But I am too. I mean, I sent those planes.”

The ongoing crisis in Palestine, requires a stringent response from all nations committed to ethical governance.

In this context, it is important to note that I do not include the United Kingdom or the United States in this category.

The severe human rights violations perpetrated by Israel in Palestine could be curtailed within a month through the implementation of a comprehensive trade embargo against Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped up his government’s bitter diplomatic dispute with Australia, claiming that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s legacy has been irrevocably blackened by his “weakness” towards Hamas.

In an interview with Sky News Australia scheduled to air on Thursday night, Netanyahu said Albanese’s record would “forever be tarnished” by his decision to recognise a Palestinian state.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll published on August 20, 2025, revealed that 58% of Americans believe every country in the United Nations should recognize Palestine as a state, while only 33% disagreed and 9% gave no answer.

The finding comes just weeks after Canada, Britain, and France, all close US allies, announced plans to recognize the State of Palestine. This diplomatic momentum has increased pressure on "Israel."

Mayor of New York City Eric Adams has launched a bizarre attack on mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani.

When speaking to reporters, Adams chose to attack Mamdani’s position of decriminalising sex work.

He said: " I can’t be more clear. I’m a man of God, just as Mamdani says he’s a Muslim. I don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s okay for a woman to be on the streets selling their body."

A group of 17 US senators has urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pressure Israel to protect journalists in Gaza and to allow media access to the enclave, following the targeted killing of Palestinian journalists.

“The US must make it clear to Israel that banning and censoring media organisations and targeting or threatening members of the press is unacceptable and must stop,” the Democratic senators said in a statement.

The Netanyahu government’s decision to move ahead with the E1 project, which aims to connect settlements in the Maale Adumim bloc in the occupied West Bank with East Jerusalem, is a targeted assassination of peace.

It is a sniper’s bullet to the heart of future coexistence.

This comes as a thuggish response to the growing list of nations that have decided to recognise the state of Palestine.
