France Eyes Palestinian Statehood Amid War and Tension

Published

on

France may recognize Palestine by June, sparking new geopolitical fault lines and reshaping Europe’s role in the Middle East.

French President Emmanuel Macron just fired a diplomatic missile into the heart of the Middle East debate. During a trip to Egypt, he announced that France would likely recognize a Palestinian state by June—just months after the deadliest phase of the Gaza war. It’s not a symbolic gesture. It’s a tectonic shift that could crack open long-standing alliances and force Israel and Europe to confront a new geopolitical reality.

Macron is not freelancing. He’s aligning France with a growing bloc—nearly 150 countries, including EU heavyweights like Ireland, Spain, and Norway, have already recognized Palestine. But unlike those countries, France is a UN Security Council member and a nuclear power. When it speaks, it echoes.

Macron is playing a dangerous game. On one hand, he wants to force momentum toward a two-state solution by leveraging European credibility. On the other, he’s walking a tightrope over his relationship with Israel—a nation he insists he supports, especially in fighting antisemitic regimes like Iran. This isn’t just about Palestine. It’s about Macron trying to position France as the kingmaker in a multipolar world reshaped by war.

Israel’s leadership is already furious. Netanyahu has rejected any move toward Palestinian statehood, especially after the October 7 massacre orchestrated by Hamas—an organization designated as a terrorist group by the U.S., EU, and many others. From his perspective, recognition now isn’t peace-building—it’s rewarding terrorism.

But Macron is betting big on realpolitik. He’s banking on the idea that global security can no longer wait for Israeli consensus. He wants to isolate Iran, pull moderate Arab states deeper into Europe’s orbit, and challenge Trump’s growing sway over Israel with a “European solution.” Macron is staking France’s credibility on a gamble that he can talk the world into peace—while holding a lighter near the powder keg.

If France proceeds with recognition in June, it will light a firestorm of debate across NATO, the UN, and even within the EU.

Trump’s Second Term: Speed, Shock, and a Nation Struggling to Keep Up

Published

on

From mass firings to trade wars and geopolitical whiplash, Trump 2.0 is chaos on steroids—and the global fallout has just begun.
Trump’s second term is moving faster than Washington, Wall Street, or Main Street can absorb. Tariffs, purges, and reversals are fueling confusion, economic anxiety, and global instability. 

“Move fast and break things” isn’t just Trump’s method—it’s now U.S. policy.

In his second term, President Donald Trump has stormed out of the gate like a man racing against time—and reality. From slapping 145% tariffs on China to firing thousands of federal workers by weekend email, Trump is governing with the urgency of a president who knows the clock is ticking. With GOP control of Congress and midterms looming, he’s pressing executive power to its constitutional limits—and maybe beyond.

The results? Chaos, confusion, and contradiction.

Trump’s team has reversed itself multiple times on major issues: trade with China, tech tariffs, deportations, and economic messaging. Even his own allies are scrambling to understand what policy applies on any given day. Canada, burned by steel and aluminum tariffs, says it has “no idea what’s actually been lifted.” Inside the U.S., small business owners like Mark Overbay are trying to plan pricing around a policy that changes with Trump’s tweets.

The “panic index” is spiking. Consumer confidence is collapsing. Supply chains are disoriented. Retirement funds are bleeding again. Even Social Security callers are getting busy signals at record rates as agencies buckle under hasty mass firings.

Meanwhile, Trump’s ambitions have no ceiling. In just 100 days, he’s tried to end the Russia-Ukraine war, restart Iran nuclear talks, annex Greenland, punish Canada, rebuild U.S. factories, and turn Gaza into a luxury resort.

This is not governance—it’s global whiplash.

“There’s no method. No strategy. Just raw speed and spectacle,” says one Canadian diplomat. Judge James Bredar slammed the firings: “Move fast? Fine. Break things? Not the law.”

But Trump’s allies say that’s exactly the point. He doesn’t want to govern slower. He wants revenge, legacy, and transformation—at warp speed.

Whether the system—and the world—can withstand that pressure? That’s the real test of Trump 2.0.

Trump’s Iran Gamble: Talks May Backfire, Strengthen Tehran’s Terror Regime, Warns INSS Expert

Published

on

Trump’s “premature optimism” in nuclear talks could help Iran supercharge its arsenal and destabilize the Middle East, Israeli security expert says.  

Dr. Benny Sabti of INSS warns that Trump’s direct talks with Iran may embolden the regime, accelerate its nuclear ambitions, and weaken Israel’s security edge. 

Is Trump walking into a trap with Tehran? That’s the warning from Dr. Benny Sabti, a top Iran analyst at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), who is sounding the alarm over Washington’s newest nuclear diplomacy push with the Islamic Republic.

In an exclusive with Maariv, Sabti torched President Trump’s “premature optimism,” calling it not only a diplomatic blunder but a strategic risk to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the broader Middle East. “You don’t call talks successful after two hours,” Sabti fumed. “You’re signaling weakness—and Iran knows how to exploit that.”

The core concern: Trump may be laying the groundwork for a return to the very nuclear deal he pulled out of in 2018, without full dismantlement, without iron-clad inspections, and with potential sanctions relief that could flood Iran’s economy with foreign currency. That, Sabti warns, would revive the regime—and bankroll its terror proxies.

While Iran plays hardball, the U.S. still hasn’t eased sanctions, but the regime senses a win. “They’re calculating,” Sabti said. “Partial relief is enough to reactivate Iran’s global trade machine. Once that happens, there’s no turning back. You’re not weakening Iran—you’re rescuing it.”

Even more dangerous is the false theater unfolding in Iran’s parliament, which Sabti dismisses as staged political drama. “There’s no real disagreement in Tehran,” he warned. “It’s all for show. The regime isn’t compromising—it’s stalling.”

Sabti also took aim at Trump’s reliance on Oman as mediator, noting the sultanate’s long history of cozy ties with Tehran. “You can’t win a war of pressure if your middleman is working both sides,” he said.

Bottom line? Sabti doesn’t believe diplomacy will stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “You have to go all in—sanctions, sabotage, even military options. This ‘a little here, a little there’ approach? It’s suicide.”

And for Israel? “If the Iranians believe they’ve outplayed the Americans, they will sprint toward the bomb. And we’ll all pay for it.”

Elon Musk just planted his digital flag in Mogadishu

Published

on

Elon Musk’s satellite internet service gains access to Somalia, raising questions over digital sovereignty, censorship—and who controls Africa’s skies.
Starlink officially enters Somalia with government blessing. But behind the tech deal lies a wider digital arms race, from Mogadishu to Hargeisa, with Elon Musk in the spotlight.

Today, the Somali National Communications Authority granted Starlink a license to operate across the country. The ceremony, attended by senior Starlink executives Ryan Goodnight and Micaela Pawlak, marks a major shift in Somalia’s digital infrastructure—bringing Musk’s low-orbit satellite network into one of the world’s most fragmented telecom environments.

But behind the smiles and satellite promises, bigger questions loom.

Starlink’s arrival isn’t just about faster YouTube in Galkayo—it’s a strategic win for the Somali federal government, allowing it to expand digital reach even into regions like Las Anod and the Somaliland frontier, where current infrastructure is weak or controlled by regional authorities. Could Starlink be used as a digital tool in Somalia’s internal conflicts?

Somaliland, which has fiercely defended its telecommunications independence, may now find itself at a crossroads. Will Hargeisa push back or seek its own Starlink deal to avoid being digitally boxed out?

And then there’s Musk. The billionaire’s earlier jab at South Africa—claiming Starlink was blocked there because he’s “not Black”—has reignited controversy about race, regulation, and ownership in Africa’s telecom future.

Somalia, meanwhile, is already wired with fiber-optic undersea cables. But Starlink gives Mogadishu something fiber can’t: sky control—in hard-to-reach regions, remote districts, and frontline zones.

This isn’t just internet access. It’s information dominance.

With this license, Somalia gains digital reach. But Musk? He gains a foothold in yet another volatile but high-stakes market—where bandwidth may soon become a new form of battlefield leverage.

Yemen’s Gov’t Mobilizes 80,000 Troops for Massive Hodeidah Assault

Published

on

As US air cover and drone support gear up, the largest offensive of Yemen’s war targets Houthis’ stronghold in Hodeidah.

Hodeidah may soon become the graveyard of the Houthi movement. A massive 80,000-strong government force—backed by US air support and drone surveillance—is reportedly preparing to storm Yemen’s key Red Sea port in what could mark the most decisive offensive in the entire civil war.

According to Dr. Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Gulf Research Center, the scale of this operation dwarfs anything seen before in the conflict. “We might be at the stage of counting down the end of the Houthis,” he declared in a Friday interview with Emirati state media.

The port of Hodeidah, long viewed as a strategic artery for food imports and arms smuggling, has been a Houthi fortress since 2014. Previous attempts to retake it—most notably in 2018—triggered UN panic and international pressure, halting offensives in the name of humanitarian protection. But the Houthis violated the 2018 Stockholm Agreement, retaking full control by 2021.

Now, a renewed alliance of Yemeni loyalists, Gulf support, and CENTCOM coordination is preparing to change the game. Airstrikes have already begun softening Houthi defenses, reportedly eliminating several high-ranking militants in recent days.

What makes this operation different? Washington is back in the arena. General Michael Kurilla’s high-level meeting in Saudi Arabia, coupled with CENTCOM’s expanded regional presence, suggests the US is investing real firepower into ending Houthi control—perhaps as a broader message to Iran.

But the cost could be immense. Aid cuts from the US and UK, combined with a fragile civilian population inside Hodeidah, risk tipping the operation into a humanitarian nightmare. UN voices are already preparing to intervene.

Still, experts insist the Houthis have had their chance. “They chose power over peace,” says Dr. Sager. “Now they must face the consequences.”

Rageh Omaar Returns from the Brink: ITV’s Global Voice Roars Back After On-Air Health Scare

Published

on

After collapsing live on-air, veteran journalist Rageh Omaar returns to the frontlines with powerful dispatch from West Africa.

A familiar voice has returned—and this time, it carries the weight of survival. Rageh Omaar, ITV’s respected international affairs editor, made a striking comeback on News at Ten with a pre-recorded foreign report from West Africa—his first since collapsing during a live broadcast last year.

The April 2024 incident left viewers stunned as Omaar, mid-broadcast, appeared visibly distressed and struggled to speak. ITV swiftly pulled the rerun, and he was rushed to hospital for undisclosed treatment. The silence that followed was deafening—but now, he’s speaking again.

And not just from a studio. Omaar’s return was marked by a high-stakes interview with Ivorian political heavyweight Tidjane Thiam, leader of Côte d’Ivoire’s main opposition. A bold move. A statement. A reminder that the journalist who gave the world frontline reporting from Baghdad in 2003 still knows how to command the screen.

For Omaar, this comeback wasn’t just professional—it was personal. “I was determined to finish presenting the programme,” he said after the collapse, a quiet warrior’s resolve beneath his composed tone.

Having slowly rebuilt his presence on ITVX and digital platforms, this new dispatch signals a full return to global reporting. It’s not just a journalist’s return—it’s the resurgence of a trusted voice in a fractured world.

As the news landscape grows noisier, Rageh Omaar’s calm fire feels needed now more than ever.

Somaliland Threatens Retaliation Over PM’s Las’anod Invasion

Published

on

Tensions soar as Somalia’s Prime Minister dares to enter Las’anod—Somaliland vows decisive defense.

The Somaliland government issues a furious condemnation over the Somali PM’s planned Las’anod visit, calling it a dangerous breach of sovereignty that could ignite new regional conflict. 

The Republic of Somaliland has slammed Somalia’s provocative plan to send its Prime Minister to Las’anod—calling it not just a violation, but a blatant act of aggression against its sovereignty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs labeled the move a reckless escalation, with the power to shatter fragile regional peace and drag the Horn into renewed instability.

“This is not a visit—it’s an invasion,” one senior Somaliland official told WARYATV. “And if Somalia wants conflict, they’ll get a response.”

The timing is no accident. With peace in Las’anod already hanging by a thread, this incursion appears designed to provoke and distract from Somalia’s internal failures. But Somaliland, long hailed as a beacon of stability in a chaotic region, is refusing to be baited—at least not without sending a loud and clear message: we will retaliate if provoked.

The statement wasn’t just directed at Mogadishu. Somaliland is putting global bodies like the AU, IGAD, UN, and Arab League on high alert, warning them that Somalia’s destabilizing behavior could reopen the floodgates of migration, conflict, and terrorism. Inaction, it says, will cost the entire region dearly.

Advertisement

But beneath the diplomacy is a steel edge: Somaliland is ready to act militarily if necessary. “Our commitment to peace stands—but so does our resolve to defend our land,” the statement concluded.

The message is unmistakable: Las’anod is not up for negotiation. If Somalia tests the line, Somaliland is prepared to cross it—hard.

WARYATV’s Operation Geel Sets Global Agenda: Trump Team Cites WARYATV scoops

Published

on

This is why WARYATV matters. The Pentagon listens. The UN listens. And now the White House listens.

WARYATV scoops NYTimes as U.S. counterterrorism team validates Somaliland-focused analysis in Somalia strategy shift.

WARYATV’s exclusive reporting on Operation Geel—urging international relocation to Somaliland—is now central to U.S. policy debates on Somalia. Trump’s security team echoes our warnings.

They followed our lead.

When WARYATV broke Operation Geel on March 31, exposing Somalia’s unraveling and the world’s bizarre fixation on a failed state while ignoring Somaliland’s unrivaled stability, we knew it would stir global intelligence and diplomatic circles. Now, just one week later, it’s confirmed: Trump’s top counterterrorism advisor, Sebastian Gorka, is using our very own reporting in shaping Washington’s Somalia exit strategy.

Advertisement

The NYTimes today echoes what our team already knew and published. This is not coincidence—this is recognition. WARYATV has become the region’s most trusted source for raw, unfiltered, and actionable geopolitical intelligence.

Mogadishu is collapsing. Al-Shabaab militants are surrounding the capital. The Somali federal government is fractured, unpopular, and teetering on the brink of collapse. Western embassies and UN agencies are preparing emergency evacuations.

And yet, the international community continues to ignore Somaliland—a nation with democratic institutions, peaceful transitions of power, and strategic coastal access. Why? What more must Somaliland do to be treated like a real partner in stabilizing the Horn of Africa?

WARYATV scoops NYTimes

President Trump’s advisers are now openly debating whether to move U.S. operations to Somaliland. Gorka’s call to expand airstrikes and resist a full withdrawal mirrors our earlier analysis warning that a vacuum in Somalia will be filled by terror groups—and that the only stable launchpad is in Hargeisa, not Mogadishu.

Even the Somali president’s desperate plea to let U.S. forces use bases in Somaliland—a region he doesn’t even control—shows how far detached the federal government has become from reality.

This is exactly why Operation Geel matters. This is why WARYATV matters. The Pentagon listens. The UN listens. And now the White House listens.

While Somalia burns and international actors stumble, Somaliland is ready—ready to be the staging ground for peace, security, and serious counterterrorism.

The world must now catch up to what WARYATV readers already know: Somaliland isn’t just part of the solution—it is the solution.

U.S. Pulls Out of Key Ukraine Arms Hub in Poland: Strategic Streamlining or Silent Retreat?

Published

on

 As the U.S. downsizes at Poland’s Jasionka base, questions rise over NATO cohesion, Trump’s intentions, and Europe’s defense future. 

The U.S. military’s quiet exit from the Jasionka logistics hub — the lifeline of Ukraine’s war effort — is more than just a “streamlining” of operations. It’s a seismic signal: Washington is pulling back from the frontlines of European defense, and the implications are explosive.

Since 2022, Jasionka has been ground zero for NATO’s weapons pipeline to Ukraine. It’s no exaggeration to say 95% of lethal aid has passed through this Polish corridor. And who ran it? U.S. forces — until now. As of this week, the baton has been handed to Norway, Germany, the U.K., and Poland. But the question looms: Why now — and at what cost?

Advertisement

The Pentagon calls this a long-planned realignment. But that’s spin. The real driver is Donald Trump’s shifting doctrine: America First, Europe second — if at all. His disdain for NATO has morphed from rhetoric into reality. His threats to abandon allies and his backdoor dealings with Russia aren’t whispers anymore; they’re warnings. With his trade war and open hostility toward Canada and Greenland, the unraveling of post-WWII Western alliances is already in motion.

Poland — NATO’s new poster child for military spending — isn’t the problem. With 4.7% of GDP going to defense, it’s more committed than most. Warsaw is doing its part. The real issue is what this U.S. drawdown means: America is testing the limits of alliance dependency, gauging how far it can push Europe into standing on its own.

What’s being quietly set up in the background is NATO’s Security Assistance and Training Command for Ukraine, a move to shift operational control from the U.S. to a broader — and perhaps weaker — European leadership model. Sure, this spreads the burden. But it also diffuses accountability and fractures unity.

Advertisement

Let’s not sugarcoat this: the removal of U.S. troops from a critical war zone logistics hub during a hot war is not efficiency. It’s a red flag. And it may be the first of many.

Europe must now face a hard truth: Trump’s America is no longer the bulwark it once was. And if NATO crumbles, the chaos that follows won’t stop at Ukraine’s borders. It will creep into the heart of Europe — and into the balance sheets, war rooms, and borders of every allied state that let its guard down.

This isn’t just a logistics shuffle. It’s a strategic withdrawal. And it should terrify every Western policymaker.
