The United Kingdom will officially recognise the state of Palestine in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza.

The move comes amid growing pressure over the situation in Gaza, particularly from within the British Labour Party.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer called his cabinet back from their summer break to approve a new plan aimed at supporting peace in the region.

The announcement after Starmer met with President Trump in Scotland. Trump said the issue wasn’t discussed but that he had no issue with Britain taking their own position.

“Ultimately, the only way to bring this humanitarian crisis to an end is through a long-term settlement,” Starmer told reporters on Tuesday.

“Our goal remains a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state, but right now, that goal is under pressure like never before.”

“I have always said that we will recognise a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process, at the moment of maximum impact for the two-state solution.”

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that the “global community is deeply offended by children being shot and killed as they reach out for aid.”

“Children are starving, and Israel’s drip feeding of aid has horrified the world,” Lammy said at the United Nations on Tuesday.

Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron similarly announced that France will recognize a Palestinian state.

“Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine,” Macron wrote.

“I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.”

“The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR) have dropped a political nuke on Washington: Smoking-gun thumb drives containing unreviewed evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal have been sitting in an FBI office collecting dust for over SIX YEARS.

The letter, addressed directly to FBI Director Kash Patel, demands that the unevaluated materials — which include sensitive intelligence, foreign communications, and damning evidence related to the Clinton Foundation and Barack Obama — be immediately reviewed and exposed to the American people.

“Thumb drives containing unreviewed info on the Clinton email scandal & mishandling of highly classified info [have] been sitting at an FBI offshoot office since 2018. I sent a letter [with] House Intel Chair Crawford asking [Director] Patel [to] review materials & report back ASAP,” Grassley wrote on X.

According to the press release, “This untapped and unreviewed information has lived within thumb drives in the FBI’s custody inside a Northern Virginia offshoot office of the FBI’s Washington Field Office since 2018. This letter was sent in response to Chairman Grassley’s efforts to get the appendix to the DOJ OIG’s June 2018 report reviewing the DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Clinton investigation, also known as the “Clinton annex,” declassified.”

Grassley and Crawford issued the following statement:

“The revelations contained in the declassified OIG appendix are at the heart of why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) became distrusted by so many under your agency’s prior directors: a failure to impartially conduct its law enforcement and intelligence mission. Concerning the issue at hand, Comey’s FBI shockingly failed to review and exploit evidence in its own possession, even though they admitted in written memos the information was necessary to conduct a ‘thorough and complete investigation.’ The FBI also failed to review and exploit other foreign intelligence information.”

“Therefore, we now write to stress the importance that this material be immediately dug out from hiding and properly assessed. How evidence which purportedly includes information related to ‘former President Barack Obama’s emails’ and ‘network infrastructure diagrams for U.S. government classified networks,’ remained unreviewed by the preeminent law enforcement agency in the world is mind-numbing. We know you will not similarly ignore evidence in your agency’s possession, no matter where its exploitation or conclusions might lead.”

President Trump responded to a report on a Secret Service agent who tried to smuggle his wife on a plane to Scotland.

As previously reported, the Secret Service launched an investigation after an SS agent tried to smuggle his wife on a plane accompanying President Trump’s visit to Scotland.

President Trump landed in Turnberry, Scotland on Friday as part of a 5-day visit to the UK.

According to RealClearPolitics, a Secret Service Agent, who happens to be a new trainee, tried to bring his wife, an Air Force employee, with him on the trip to Scotland.

The agent reportedly flew his wife to Maryland where she received an officials Secret Service briefing and took a bus to Joint Base Andrews before she was told to leave, according to RCP.

“That’s a weird deal. The wife in the car…Wouldn’t you think that might be a little dangerous? I don’t know if that has proper compression. I don’t know that’s a strange one. I just heard that two minutes ago. I think [USSS Director] Sean [Curram] is taking care of it.”

“The agent in question is a Phase 1 agent (new trainee in first years on the job) who was written up multiple times for misconduct at the Rowley Training Center where agents go through their preliminary training to become agents and can wash out if held to proper standards, according to two sources in the Secret Service community,” RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree said.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement to RCPolitics:

“The U.S. Secret Service is conducting a personnel investigation after an employee attempted to invite his spouse – a member of the United States Air Force – aboard a mission support flight. The aircraft, operated by the U.S. Air Force, was being used by the Secret Service to transport personnel and equipment. Prior to the overseas departure, the employee was advised by supervisors that such action was prohibited, and the spouse was subsequently prevented from taking the flight. No Secret Service protectees were aboard and there was no impact to our overseas protective operations.”

A reporter for The Daily Mail asked President Trump about the Real Clear Politics report.

“That’s a weird deal. The wife in the car…Wouldn’t you think that might be a little dangerous? I don’t know if that has proper compression. I don’t know that’s a strange one. I just heard that two minutes ago. I think Sean [Curran] is taking care of it,” Trump said.

RCP reporter Susan Crabtree said President Trump appeared to be confused about the report.

“When asked by the Daily Mail’s White House reporter @GeoffEarle about my reporting from over the weekend, Trump seemed to think the agent tried to smuggle his wife in a non-pressurized area of the C-17 Air Force plane, what’s known as a carplane in Secret Service parlance,” she said.

The greatest area od US-Russia cooperation is still in outer space.

In the last decade, the bilateral relations between the US and Russia deteriorated greatly, to the point where almost all manner of cooperation between the two nuclear superpowers had ceased.

The one area where it was never discontinued was in space exploration.

But even there, it’s been 8 years since the last time the directors of NASA and Roscosmos had a face-to-face meeting.

But now, with Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House, things are picking up a new momentum, as the Roscosmos chief arrives in Houston, Texas, for a visit and meetings.

Sputnik reported:

“Head of Roscosmos Dmitry Bakanov has arrived in the United States, where he is scheduled to meet with NASA leadership and the crew of the upcoming Crew Dragon mission, which includes Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, the press service of the Russian space agency reported.

‘Dmitry Bakanov arrived in Houston at the head of a Roscosmos delegation to meet with NASA leadership. This marks the first in-person meeting between the heads of the Russian and US space agencies in eight years’, the statement said.”

Besides meeting acting NASA director Sean Duffy, Bakanov will visit Johnson Space Center, and also Boeing’s production facility, where the grounded Starliner spacecraft is being reworked.

Furthermore, he will meet with the Crew Dragon crew, including Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov.

One of the most important aspects of the Roscosmos cooperation with NASA is the join work to decommission the aging International Space Station (ISS).

According to Bakanov, the deorbiting plan has already been developed, and is expected to take about two and a half years.

TASS reported:

“’A draft program for deorbiting the station has already been developed. According to experts, the process will take about two and a half years in total’, he stated.

[…]’We plan to discuss continuing the cross-flight program and extending the operation of the International Space Station. We will also discuss the activities of the Russian-American working group on safely deorbiting the ISS and flooding it in a designated area of the ocean’.”

End of an era in orbit?

Democrat Russia collusion hoax investigator April Doss was fired as NSA General Counsel on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.

According to a recent report by The Daily Wire, April Doss worked for the Senate Democrats on their Russia collusion witch hunt against Trump.

“Just months into Trump’s first term as president, she took a high-level job working for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating supposed Russian interference in the 2016 election. Doss was the Democrats’ Senior Counsel for the committee’s Russia investigation, which conducted hundreds of interviews in its failed attempt to find evidence of conspiracy between Trump and Russia,” The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak reported.

April Doss also called for President Trump to be permanently banned from social media.

“Doss is a transparently partisan activist who has written publicly about her opposition to Trump. She has called for Trump to be permanently banned from social media for staging an “insurrection,” attacked Republicans for opposing a crackdown on “disinformation,” and defended the treatment of Trump aides Carter Page and Michael Flynn at the hands of the intelligence state,” The Daily Wire reported.

The New York Times credited Laura Loomer for amplifying The Daily Wire’s report exposing April Doss.

The New York Times reported:

The top lawyer for the National Security Agency was removed from her job on Friday, according to multiple former officials, after she was criticized by conservative activists.

April Falcon Doss had been appointed to the general counsel post in April 2022, during the Biden administration. The web page on the N.S.A. site that displayed her biography now redirects to an error page.

On July 23, the Daily Wire, a conservative website, wrote about Ms. Doss and her former work for the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Democratic staff. Later that day, Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theorist, amplified a social media post critical of Ms. Doss that cited the Daily Wire article.
