Irish PM @SimonHarrisTD says it’s ’regrettable’ how EU isn’t defending int law re Gaza. “It's not about being pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian. It's about being pro international law.. pro peace.. what's happening in Gaza is unconscionable’ https://t.co/oYq61ucWe3

Heard of Tether? It's based in El Salvador and makes cryptocurrency. One use of that crypto is to help Russia's war machine, I'm told. Tether is massively profitable. And among its biggest shareholders is a donor to @Nigel_Farage... https://t.co/792Z7zSw9k

Absolutely gutted to read Mani, the Stone Roses’s bassist, has died. In 2016, I spotted him, Reni & @ianbrown chilling in a bar - and plucked up the courage to say hi. They couldn’t have been nicer. No airs n graces. Just funny, warm & charming.Thank u for the music Mani. RIP x

“Allowing the most damning facts on the ground — like Israel’s systematic sniping of children — to be presented exclusively as a matter of opinion is journalistic malpractice”
NEW: 300+ writers, scholars and public figures – including almost 150 past New York Times contributors – have committed to refusing to write for the paper’s Opinion section until our the paper 1) addresses it's anti-Palestinian bias, 2) retracts the widely debunked investigation

And if anyone needs reminding of what actually happened, @realDonaldTrump, the UN report is very clear on what was found in the audio recording. https://t.co/7h3SfyXXrr

Kellogg has had some missteps - notably comments on cutting out Europeans in Feb & later the "mule" comment - but he understood what Witkoff seems incapable of getting: that forcing a ceasefire (not a capitulation) requires real pressure on Russia, not just on Ukraine.
Scoop w/ @humeyra_pamuk: US-Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg has told associates he'll leave his post in January, sources told @Reuters Comes amid frustration that the Ukraine file is too crowded, and a belief that some admin officials are too hesitant to apply pressure on Russia

Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich: "“We are killing the idea of a Palestinian state — day by day, hour by hour — with more than a hundred farms that already span over 700,000 dunams. These are state lands that we hold so the enemy won’t seize them."

Be in no doubt, we live in a new era of threat. A Russian spy ship, the Yantar, returned to UK waters and directed lasers at our pilots. Our government will always do what’s needed to defend Britain, and our Armed Forces stand ready to deter.

You can't make this up. The week that Labour present the Danish Social Democrats' refugee policy as their inspiration: The Danish Social Democrats lose control of Copenhagen for the first time in 122 years. Partly because of their immigration policy. The left won.

I spent last week with soldiers in the Donbas who are more determined than ever to keep holding the line. There’s no better feeling than spending time with people who care about their country. They invited me to their new positions to stay with @AprilHuggett. All heroes 🫡🇺🇦🥹

Some grim polling here for Labour from @Ipsos_in_the_UK beyond the headline figures -69% think Britain is heading in the wrong direction -Starmer's satisfaction rating at -66 -50% of the public want "radical change" yet only 4% believe Labour will deliver it.

Looks like Steve Witkoff tweeted what was meant to be a DM, saying the content for this much-discussed Axios story must have come from "K." Almost certainly this refers to Kirill Dmitriev, who is quoted in the story. But it seems the Russian side is leaking this for a reason.

Comments by Germany's chancellor about the host city of the COP30 climate conference have gone down badly in Brazil, with Belem's mayor calling Merz's remarks "arrogant and prejudiced." What did the German leader say?

New: I can confirm a hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar telling me it’s merely the Kremlin’s maximalist demands. Includes: -Ukraine army cut in half -Give up certain
