Kamala Harris: “I’m Not Concerned About Trump’s Talks with Netanyahu”

On Sunday, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris expressed that she is not worried about recent discussions between former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She reaffirmed her stance on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

                   

As the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris is in a competitive race against Trump ahead of the November 5 elections. When asked whether the Trump-Netanyahu talks could hinder the current administration's efforts, she replied, "No."

               

In recent weeks, Trump and Netanyahu have spoken multiple times, reminiscent of their close relationship during Trump’s presidency, when the U.S. moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—a decision that pleased many Israelis but angered Palestinians.

Harris emphasized the importance of U.S. involvement in fostering peace, stating, "It is critically important that we as the United States of America be an active participant in encouraging an end to this war, ensuring the safe return of hostages, and committing to a two-state solution and planning for the 'day after' in Gaza."

President Joe Biden has backed Israel amid its conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, following Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in around 1,200 fatalities and nearly 250 hostages, according to Israeli sources. The subsequent Israeli military response in Gaza has claimed approximately 43,000 lives, based on reports from Gaza’s health ministry, displacing nearly the entire population and causing a severe hunger crisis. Israel faces genocide allegations at the World Court, which it denies.

In a separate campaign in Lebanon, Israel has reported over 2,500 deaths and the displacement of more than a million people, targeting Hezbollah militants amidst ongoing cross-border hostilities.

Is the Tesla phone even real?

Tesla has denied plans for a smartphone, but speculation persists. Analysts suggest it could be a natural extension of the company's connected car ecosystem.

The internet is buzzing with rumours of a Tesla phone, dubbed the Model Pi or P. But is there any truth to this speculation? Currently, there's no concrete evidence to support the existence of a Tesla phone. The rumours seem to stem from a 2021 YouTube video showcasing a designer's concept, not an actual leak. Many online articles rely solely on this source, perpetuating the myth. Further dampening hopes, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has explicitly denied plans for a Tesla phone on two separate occasions. In June 2024, during a livestream, he declared, "We are not going to do a Tesla phone." This statement definitively ended speculation for many. However, this wasn't the first time Musk addressed the rumours. In November 2023, after Tesla acquired Twitter (now X), he hinted at the possibility of an "alternative phone" if the platform faced app store restrictions. But later, he clarified his stance, ruling out a Tesla smartphone. Despite Musk's denials, some analysts believe a Tesla phone is inevitable. Morgan Stanley analysts see a strong possibility for a Tesla smartphone, viewing it as a natural extension of the company's connected car ecosystem. They highlight the seamless integration between phones and Teslas, with features like unlocking via smartphone apps. Recently, Musk expressed security concerns regarding X's integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT. This sparked speculation about a potential Tesla phone launch to address these concerns. While Musk acknowledged the idea wasn't "out of the question," his current stance remains unclear. For now, the Tesla phone remains a rumour. While Musk has categorically denied it twice, analyst predictions and Musk's own security concerns hint at a p

King Charles visits Australia as the country puts its republic debate on hold

Naturally, it was about tea – a subject close to the heart of many British people – as Kerl passed Charles, then prince now King, a gift of a teapot from people further back in the crowd of flag-waving supporters. “I got the bug after I saw him that time,” said Kerl, who counts herself as a supporter of the British royals, but not necessarily a diehard monarchist. Kerl will be in Sydney on Tuesday to try to meet the 75-year-old British sovereign again during his first tour to a Commonwealth realm since acceding the throne.

Brook Mitchell/Getty Images After Australia, King Charles will head to Samoa to join world leaders at the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), his first as head of the organization. This is the King’s first long-haul multi-country trip since his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, and his schedule has been lightened over the 11-day trip to provide rest times during a pause in his treatment. Like any royal tour, there’ll be organized pageantry, but also predictable talk around dinner tables, on television and online about when Australia might cut ties with the House of Windsor. The consensus seems to be that it won’t happen anytime soon – not least because of Australia’s poor record on passing referendums that are required for any change to the country’s constitution. For the government, the defeat of the most recent referendum last October – not on a republic but to enshrine an Indigenous advisory group in the constitution – was a painful lesson in the expense of holding such a vote and the damage it can do in a country with sharply divergent views.

Philippines vice-president: I’ll dig up president’s father and throw him in sea

Sara Duterte makes threat against remains of Ferdinand Marcos’s dictator father in searing verbal attack.The Philippine vice-president, Sara Duterte, has threatened to dig up the remains of President Ferdinand Marcos’s dictator father and throw them into the sea, launching a scathing attack on her rival.

Duterte was once allied with Marcos Jr, and ran on a joint ticket with him in the 2022 election, winning a landslide victory. However, she resigned from the cabinet in June and the two powerful dynasties are now engaged in a bitter struggle for power before next year’s midterm elections, with both also preparing for presidential polls in 2028.The stakes are especially high for the Dutertes, as the vice-president’s father, the former president Rodrigo Duterte, is facing an investigation by the international criminal court (ICC) for crimes against humanity over his bloody “war on drugs”. In a press conference on Friday, Sara Duterte launched her fiercest attack yet on the president, saying the country was on a “road to hell”, that his administration lacked clear policies to tackle inflation and food security, and that she had once thought about cutting off his head. Duterte said she had been left feeling “used” after teaming up with Marcos before the 2022 election. She realised their relationship had become toxic, she said, after watching him apparently cause the “humiliation” of a young graduate. The graduate had asked Marcos if he could have Marcos’s watch as a graduation gift, only for Marcos to ask him to repeat the question, and then to ask why he should do so, prompting the laughter of those around – and the humiliation of the graduate, she said. “I wanted to remove his head. I realised the relationship was already toxic,” she said. “[I] just imagine myself cutting his head,” she repeated, gesturing with her hands.Tensions between the two rivals have increased after a recent investigation alleging that Duterte’s office misused funds while she was education secretary, something she has denied, as well as recent parliamentary hearings on the “war on drugs”, which heard claims the office of Rodrigo Duterte paid “rewards” of up to $17,000 to police who killed drugs suspects. Rodrigo Duterte has denied authorising killings. However, he repeatedly and openly threatened drug dealers with death before and during his presidency. Marcos Jr has previously said he would not comply with the ICC’s investigation into the “war on drugs” but analysts say it is possible he could change his stance if he senses his rivals are politically weak. Sara Duterte said if political attacks against her did not stop, she would throw the body of the late dictator Marcos Sr into the sea. “One of these days, I will go there. I will get the body of your father and throw it in the West Philippine Sea,” Duterte said, using the Filipino name for the portion of the South China Sea claimed by Manila. In 2016, when relations between the two families were warm, Rodrigo Duterte caused controversy by allowing a hero’s burial with military honours for Marcos Sr. The late dictator is accused of having plundered up to $10bn from state coffers during his rule, and of presiding over widespread human rights abuses. The presidential communications secretary, Cesar Chavez, said Marcos would not be responding to Sara Duterte’s remarks.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by Israel

 West piles pressure on Netanyahu to end conflict after death of Oct 7 mastermind but he vows to ‘go into Rafah and finish the job’

Israel has killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, in an assassination that marks the “beginning of the end” of the terror group’s rule of Gaza.

Benjamin Netanyahu urged Hamas’s remaining terrorists to lay down their arms, hand over the hostages and surrender as he hailed the death of Israel’s most wanted man.

The mastermind of the Oct 7 massacre was killed in a shoot-out with IDF troops in the southern city of Rafah on Thursday.

The soldiers had happened upon Sinwar, who was thought to be hiding in the vast tunnel network underneath Gaza, by chance and were not immediately aware of the magnitude of the clash.

“This is the beginning of the day after Hamas,” Mr Netanyahu said in a video statement, confirming the death of the man behind the “worst massacre in our people’s history since the Holocaust”.

While Israel had “settled the score” with Sinwar, who plotted the Oct 7 attack in which 1,200 Israeli citizens were killed, Mr Netanyahu said more needed to be done to end the war.

Addressing Gazan civilians, he said: “Sinwar ruined your life. He told you he was a lion, but in reality he was hiding in a dark den. And he was killed when he fled in a panic from our soldiers.”

Hamas must release the remaining hostages they hold, he said, and any who return captives would be allowed to leave Gaza and live, Mr Netanyahu added.

But amid fears in the Israeli security establishment that Hamas could kill hostages in revenge for Sinwar’s death, he threatened to kill any who harm the captives.

“We will not stop the war,” he said. “We will go into Rafah” to finish the job.

‘Opportunity to finally end the war’

But the killing of Hamas’ figurehead raised hopes that an end to more than 12-months of brutal fighting could be reached.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, however, urged Israel to use the death of Sinwar to seek peace.

“This moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war,” she said at a campaign stop in Milwaukee.

Joe Biden, the US president, said he would be discussing “ending the war once and for all” with Mr Netanyahu in the coming days.

The Biden administration has long pushed for Mr Netanyahu to restrain its operations in Gaza and Lebanon, although its efforts have had little effect as Israel pursues a definitive defeat of the Iran-backed terror groups on its borders.
