🚨 Trump demands Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan sign Abraham Accords as condition of Iran deal President Trump posted on Truth Social Monday demanding that all countries involved in Iran negotiations simultaneously sign the Abraham Accords, describing it as a prerequisite for any deal and warning those who refuse would be excluded from the agreement. “It should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote, naming Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain as targets. The UAE and Bahrain are already members. 🔸Trump warned: “If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.” 🔸He said it “should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit.” 🔸He also dangled Iran’s own potential membership, writing: “If Iran signs its Agreement with me… it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.” 🔹The Abraham Accords, brokered during Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Kazakhstan. Trump’s demand would require the mediating countries to recognize Israel and normalize relations as a condition of ending the Iran war — a significant ask given that Saudi Arabia has publicly conditioned any normalization on a credible and irreversible path to Palestinian statehood, a position shared in various forms by Turkey, Egypt, and others on the list. 🔹The demand comes as the U.S. has allowed Israel to continue the daily killing of Palestinians in Gaza for more than seven months since the October 2025 Trump-brokered ceasefire, with over 900 Palestinians killed since the agreement was approved by Israel. The U.S. and Israel are also deliberately blocking minimum levels of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, and reconstruction aid. 🔹President Trump has also removed sanctions on the most violent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where rampant state-backed settler violence to uproot Palestinian families has gone unchecked since the start of his second term. 🔹Trump closed his social media post with a warning: “It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before.”

🚨 To Senator Lindsey Graham… A message from the heart of Riyadh Read this carefully, for what you are about to hear is not a flowery diplomatic statement, but the truth from the capital of decision-making that is leading the world towards a just peace: Firstly: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not need lessons in ‘boldness’ from anyone. Remember, on 22 May 2026, Riyadh launched its historic ‘International Coalition for a Two-State Solution’ initiative, bringing together 165 nations from across the globe to endorse, recognise and support it. This is our international standing, and this is our boldness, which needs no endorsement from you. Secondly: The entire world holds the Kingdom in the highest regard and esteem. We build our strategic relations with the East and the West, with Beijing, Moscow and Washington, and with the European Union, Britain and other influential international powers, in accordance with our national interests and our firm principles, not according to anyone’s dictates. And if you issue a statement linking the continuation of relations or threatening ‘grave repercussions’, you are thereby – in the most blatant manner – undermining the historic strategic relationship between the Kingdom and the United States. Such crude language is unbecoming of allies, and we address it only to those who are ignorant of the Kingdom’s standing and prestige. Thirdly: Who inspired you to ask us to join the Abraham Accords as if you were doing us a favour or dictating our choices? Let us be clear with you: our position on the Palestinian cause is not a bargaining chip, and neither threats nor enticements will sway it. There will be no peace without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is the position we have declared to the world, and this is the essence of our initiative, which 165 countries have rallied behind. We are on the right side of history, and international legitimacy is on our side. Fourthly: A word of free advice… Before you threaten and make threats, take a good look at the bigger picture. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia draws its strength first from God, then from its wise leaders throughout the centuries, from the founder King Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him, to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and on to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is leading this historic transformation, alongside its loyal people and all free people of the world. Rest assured that history proves that Riyadh has never bowed down, and will not bow down today. In conclusion: history will remember those who led the world towards a just peace, and it will remember those who gambled on the language of threats and blackmail and lost the bet. Do not misjudge the situation… again.

Abiy’s is beyond ordinary human rights abuses; it’s his wars of genocide—and in the light of absolute silence on the genocide—the concern for human rights elsewhere becomes a lame hypocritical gesture.Nobel laureates and human rights abuses | Brief letters theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

Ethiopia is poised to increase its electricity exports to Kenya. But around 60 million Ethiopians remain without electricity access. Among them is Workinesh, who has asthma & relies on firewood for cooking, while her children study by the light of a lamp. p.dw.com/p/5E3w3

@donc_dis @grok what is the bilateral relationship between Qatar and Egypt?

@Tseday Qatar and Egypt have historical enmities. Now, calculate the odds of you being wtong.

Qatar’s Al-Khayyat family is eyeing Ethiopia’s $12.5B Bishoftu Airport. But this isn't just about aviation. It’s about a new elite oligarchy, eroded sovereignty, and a geopolitical trap that could give Egypt the ultimate leverage over the Nile.

The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable. Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved. Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.

Egypt has more arable land than it uses. The real bottleneck is Sisi’s regime itself. The Nile Delta is some of the most fertile soil on earth. Egypt fed the Roman Empire. What changed isn’t the land or the water it’s that 40% of Egyptians live in informal housing built on agricultural land, because the state never managed urbanization. Sisi’s own mega-projects like Toshka failed spectacularly once before and are being recycled as PR. The water scarcity is real but it’s also managed scarcity. Egypt loses an estimated 30-40% of its irrigation water to infrastructure leakage that the regime won’t fix because construction contracts for new projects are more politically useful than maintaining old ones. So when Sisi says “it’s impossible,” it’s less about hydrology and more about doing fatalism as governance making structural problems sound like acts of God so that nobody asks who built the system.

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea. This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries. It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

Ethiopia has sufficient arable land and water resources that can benefit Egypt. But Egyptian leadership and political elites are stuck in hostile engagement vis-a-vis ethiopia. Egypt needs Ethiopia. Not vice versa. Egypt should stop its hostility and conspiracy against Ethiopia.

Aujourd’hui, c’est la fête de Victoria au Canada — une journée souvent associée à la Confédération, aux feux d’artifice et au long week-end. Mais pour les Éthiopiens-Canadiens, l’héritage de la reine Victoria porte aussi une autre mémoire.

GCC countries will be competing for more control on mega deals in Africa. Chinese will build it. Arabs will finance it.
