— Turkish president threatened to pull out of Sharm el-Sheikh conference unless Israeli PM's attendance ruled out
— During an unexpected detour in his speech, Trump called on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he described as "one of the greatest" wartime leaders. Netanyahu faces corruption and fraud charges, and several hearings have been postponed during the conflict with Hamas. The Republican president also used the opportunity to settle political scores and thank his supporters, criticising Democratic predecessors and praising a top donor, Miriam Adelson, in the audience.
— He told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, "This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God." H repeated talking point about solving eight wars is exaggerated. Trump had a hand in ceasefires that have recently eased conflicts between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan. But these were mostly incremental accords, and some leaders dispute the extent of Trump's role.
— Politicfact: The U.S. was involved in a temporary peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, but violence in the region has continued, with hundreds of civilians killed since the deal’s June signing. After Trump helped broker a deal between Cambodia and Thailand, the countries have accused each other of ceasefire violations that have led to violent skirmishes. A long-running standoff between Egypt and Ethiopia over an Ethiopian dam on the Nile remains unresolved, and it is closer to a diplomatic dispute than a military clash. In the case of Kosovo and Serbia, there is little evidence a potential war was brewing.
— "We dropped 14 bombs on Iran's key nuclear facilities, totally, as I said originally, obliterating them. That's been confirmed." It is impossible to know.
— Conflicting tallies emerged from Afghanistan officials and Pakistan's military, with Afghanistan officials claiming 58 Pakistani soldiers killed and Pakistan's military reporting 23 soldiers lost and more than 200 'Taliban and affiliated terrorists' killed. About 1,500 Afghan nationals were briefly allowed to walk home from Chaman border crossing, government officer said
— The move announced by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in April triggered reciprocal measures from Beijing, which will impose similar costs on U.S. ships starting the same day.
— Time: "Scientists have found as many as 25 major tipping points, including the Amazon rain forest transforming from a lush forest that stores carbon emissions to a dry savannah, and the permanent melting of polar sea ice whereby the dark open water absorbs more heat compared to white snow, encouraging further melting."
— "Climate models that predict collapses are less accurate when forecasting interactions between multiple tipping points. Some interactions can push systems out of balance, while others pull an ecosystem closer to equilibrium. Other changes driven by rising global temperatures, like melting permafrost, likely don't meet the criteria for tipping points because they aren’t self-sustaining. Permafrost could refreeze if temperatures drop again."
— Climate scientist Timothy Lenton first identified climate tipping points in 2008. In 2022, he and his team revisited temperature collapse ranges, integrating over a decade of additional data and more sophisticated computer models.
