“It would be fine if they took it all,” Mike Huckabee said Israel has the right to almost the entire Middle East because the Bible says so, the US envoy to West Jerusalem, Mike Huckabee, has told American journalist Tucker Carlson. Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, was appointed ambassador to Israel by US President Donald Trump in April 2025. The 70-year-old politician and diplomat is also a Baptist minister and a self-declared Christian Zionist. In an interview released on Friday, the envoy explained to Carlson that “a Zionist simply means a person, who believes that the Jewish people have a right to have a homeland where they have security and safety; who believe that the Jews have a right to live in Israel.” “Israel’s right to exist comes from the Bible... [it] is a land that God gave through Abraham to a people that he chose,” Huckabee explained.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, says he is considering new strikes on Iran to pressure Tehran over its nuclear program The US is finalizing a multibillion-dollar nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia that could enable the kingdom to pursue nuclear weapons, the Arms Control Association (ACA) has warned, as US President Donald Trump threatens new strikes on Iran to force it to abandon uranium enrichment. Last year, Washington and Riyadh finalized a long-sought civil nuclear cooperation framework, allowing US companies to bid on Saudi Arabia’s first reactors. The deal would pave the way for a US-Saudi ‘123 Agreement’, enabling transfers of US nuclear technology, equipment, and materials – potentially worth tens of billions of dollars. The Trump administration sent an initial framework report to Congress in November. However, the proposed agreement lacks strict nonproliferation safeguards and could open the door to Saudi uranium enrichment, the ACA, which inspected the report, warned...
The death of Quentin Deranque after a clash with alleged members of an anti-fascist group has sparked outrage in France Thousands of right-wing protesters are expected to march through central Lyon on Saturday in tribute to Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old mathematics student and nationalist activist who died on February 14 after allegedly being beaten by individuals linked to left-wing movements. Lyon’s mayor urged authorities to ban the rally – expected to draw between 2,000 and 3,000 participants – citing “proven risks of public disorder.” However, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez authorized the event, saying that “for now, freedom is more important than anxiety.” The march is nevertheless expected to take place under heavy police protection.

British outlets have suggested London is worried the American strikes could breach international law US President Donald Trump is frustrated with the UK over its reluctance to allow Washington to use its military bases for an attack on Iran, several outlets have reported. On Thursday, Trump set a ten-day deadline for Tehran to reach a nuclear deal with Washington, saying that “bad things happen” if the Iranians fail to do so. The warning came amid reports of the US deploying two aircraft carrier strike groups and continuing its military buildup in the region. The Times said the same day that, according to its understanding, the British government remains hesitant to greenlight preemptive US strikes on Iran from iNaval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean and Royal Air Force Fairford in Gloucestershire over concerns that they would contradict London’s interpretation of international law. The UK maintains that the use of force is only permitted in ...
The US president has cited “tremendous interest” in extraterrestrial life, hours after accusing Barack Obama of leaking “classified information” US President Donald Trump has announced he will order the Department of War and other agencies to release government files related to alien life because of “tremendous interest.” In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said the records marked for disclosure would cover unidentified aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects, along with “any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.” Trump made the announcement hours after accusing former President Barack Obama of disclosing “classified information” when he suggested in a recent podcast interview that aliens were real. Obama’s remarks went viral last weekend after podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked the former president whether aliens exist. Read more Aliens are ‘real’ – Obama “They’re real, but I haven...
“It’s good,” the US agency told Ukrainian saboteurs about the plan, according to a source The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) discussed the plan to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea with Ukrainian saboteurs, German outlet Der Spiegel has reported, citing sources in Kiev. The government in Berlin has attributed the September 2022 explosions that crippled the key energy conduits built to deliver Russian gas to Germany to a small group of Ukrainian operatives. Moscow has repeatedly expressed deep skepticism over the German version of events, arguing that such an operation in NATO-controlled waters could not have been executed without direct government assistance. The Ukrainians told CIA agents about the plot to destroy Nord Stream in spring 2022, the outlet said in an article on Thursday. The conversation took place at a meeting in Kiev shortly after the escalation between Russia and Ukraine, it added. At the time, the Americans “apparently liked the plan,” the...
