Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!»

Here’s what also happened this week: 

Sanctuary city crackdown 

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order demanding the Justice Department and Homeland Security establish a list of all sanctuary cities failing to follow federal immigration laws.

Per the executive order, cities will receive notification and have the opportunity to drop the sanctuary status. Failure to do so could cause them to risk losing federal funding, according to the executive order.

Sanctuary cities are local jurisdictions that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities, including refusing to comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests.

«It’s quite simple: obey the law, respect the law, and don’t obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement officials when they are simply trying to remove public safety threats from our nation’s communities,» White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday. «The American public don’t want illegal alien criminals in their communities. They made that quite clear on Nov. 5, and this administration is determined to enforce our nation’s immigration laws.»

New Fighter Jet Mission 

Trump also revealed new plans Tuesday to swap out the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

Trump shared details of the new fighter jet mission during a speech to National Guard members at the Michigan base for an event commemorating his 100th day in office. 

Selfridge will become the fourth military installation to operate the fighter jet, which entered operational service in July 2024.

«Fresh off the line. That means they are brand new,» Trump said. «They’ve never been anywhere. This is where they’re going to be for a long time. And I saw one of them, flew over my head, and I said, ‘What the hell is that?’ That plane has serious power. So, this is the best there is anywhere in the world, the F-15EX Eagle II. This will keep Selfridge at the cutting edge of Northern American air power.»

The fighter jet is an updated version of the F-15C Eagle aircraft the Air Force introduced in 1989 and features bolstered fuel efficiency, radar and avionics, according to the Air National Guard. The jet is designed to work alongside other Air Force aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.

Religious liberty commission 

Trump signed an executive order Thursday establishing a presidential commission on religious liberty. Trump disclosed plans for the new commission during a National Day of Prayer event at the White House, revealing that Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick will serve as the chairman of the commission.

«The last administration attacked people of faith for four years,» Patrick said Thursday. «There’s a saying that no one should get between a doctor and a patient. I think we would say no one should get between God and a believer. No one should get between God and those seeking him.»

Francia cierra los stands de Israel en una gran feria internacional de aeronáutica y armamento en rechazo a la guerra en Gaza

Published

on


Las repercusiones de las pésimas relaciones entre Israel y Francia por la guerra en Gaza se vieron este lunes en la inauguración del salón de Le Bourget, la feria de armamentos más importante del mundo. Cinco stands industriales israelíes fueron cubiertos con carteles que los ocultaban , debido a la presencia de armas ofensivas, que utilizan en el conflicto en la Franja,. Las empresas israelíes denuncian un “trato injustificado por parte del gobierno francés”.

Cinco stands de armas israelíes (Uvision, Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael y Aeronautics) fueron cubiertos por decisión de la organización, la Asociación Francesa de Industrias Aeronáuticas y Espaciales (GIFAS), el primer día del mayor salón aéreo del mundo.

Este lunes a la mañana, en el pabellón 3 del Salón Aeronáutico de París, se produjo una gran conmoción , al ver que cinco stands de empresas israelíes, entre ellos Rafael Advanced Systems y Elbit Systems, fueron bloqueados durante la noche, sin que nadie lo supiera. En el lugar, dos miembros de la SPI4G-CRS, o «Sección de Protección e Intervención de 4.ª Generación» de las Compañías de Seguridad de la Policía Republicana, custodiaban uno de los stands.

«Una decisión escandalosa y sin precedentes», se apresuró a denunciar el Ministerio de Defensa israelí.

Shlomo Toaff, vicepresidente de la empresa de defensa israelí Rafael, estuvo presente en el lugar y no ocultó su decepción.

«Ocurrió de la noche a la mañana, sin que pudiéramos hacer nada y sin previo aviso. Y, como pueden ver, no se hizo con prisas», explicó, señalando las robustas barreras de madera cubiertas con tela negra que se erigieron frente a su stand. Se declaró “indignado” y denunció una «sorprendente decisión del gobierno francés, mientras Israel lucha por salvar a sus rehenes y contra la energía nuclear».

Decisión del gobierno de Francia

«No debería haber armas ofensivas presentes», explicó el primer ministro François Bayrou, justificando el cierre de los stands israelíes en Le Bourget, mientras recorría la feria en la mañana del lunes.

La situación «moralmente inaceptable» en Gaza exige «condena» y «distancia», declaró el lunes el primer ministro François Bayrou, explicando el cierre de los stands israelíes en el Salón Aeronáutico de Le Bourget, donde «no debería haber armas ofensivas presentes».

«Francia considera que esta es una situación terrible para la población de Gaza, desde una perspectiva humanitaria y de seguridad, extremadamente difícil. Francia quería demostrar que no debería haber armas ofensivas en este salón», declaró el primer ministro a la prensa, tras la inauguración de este importante encuentro de las industrias de la aviación y la defensa.

Protesta contra la presencia israelí en la feria

Los concejales elegidos de Seine-Saint-Denis , la región a donde pertenece la feria, boicotearon la llegada del primer ministro François Bayrou para protestar por la presencia de empresas israelíes.

Contrariamente a la tradición, los elegidos del departamento de Seine-Saint-Denis no estuvieron presentes en la llegada del jefe de gobierno para participar de las protestas. A pesar de que Israel acaba de lanzar una ofensiva contra Irán y sigue en guerra con Hamas tras el ataque del 7 de octubre de 2023 lanzado por el grupo ultraislámico palestino.

Las acusaciones contra Israel de genocidio y crímenes de guerra van en aumento, provenientes de expertos de la ONU, grupos de derechos humanos y un número creciente de países.

Los empresarios y representantes de fábricas israelíes estaban furiosos con su cierre. «Lo descubrimos al llegar a las 6 de la mañana. Había policías por todas partes. Nadie nos avisó con antelación; nos quedamos atónitos. Todo parecía haber sido cuidadosamente planeado», exclamó Roni Ganani, director de marketing de Elbit Systems, considerada la mayor empresa armamentística de Israel.

«Este es un escándalo sin precedentes», continuó Schlomo Toaff, vicepresidente de Rafael. «Los organizadores nos dijeron que debíamos hablar. Pero no hubo discusión. Fue una decisión unilateral».

El stand de Industrias Aeroespaciales de Israel (IAI) fue cubierto con un gran cartel, a pedido de los organizadores del Salón Aeronáutico de París.

El embajador israelí en París, Joshua Zarka, se mostró cauto: «No entiendo esta decisión. Las armas presentadas por las industrias israelíes en el Salón Aeronáutico de París son utilizadas por países como autodefensa en Europa del Este y, en general, por todos los países europeos. No veo por qué estas armas podrían representar un problema ahora. A veces es difícil seguir la postura francesa respecto a Israel en los diversos temas que nos preocupan», denunció.

Denuncias de Amnistía Internacional

Enormes carteles blancos o negros ocultan los stands de Israel en el salón, que parece bllindado. Policías, con armas en la mano, vigilan a su alrededor, con Francia en “Alerta Atentado” máximo a causa del conflicto en Oriente Medio, con su sistema Centinelle anti terrorista al máximo, desplegado en todo su territorio, y las embajadas extranjeras protegidas, ante el miedo a un atentado.

Todo el país está en alerta. Las embajadas extranjeras hasta preparan planes de evacuación para sus ciudadanos y exigen el envío de protección de seguridad a sus países de origen. Ese clima está exacerbado en el salón de Le Bourget.

A última hora de la mañana del lunes, miembros de la delegación israelí conversaban discretamente en los pasillos del pabellón 3 del Salón Aeronáutico de París, mientras el primer ministro François Bayrou paseaba por el pabellón 2, contiguo a la sede.

GIFAS afirma haber cumplido una instrucción de las autoridades francesas. «El gobierno cedió a la presión», se burló un miembro de la delegación israelí.

Amnistía Internacional había denunciado la presencia de nueve empresas israelíes -un aumento del 70% en comparación con ediciones anteriores- que fabrican armas «utilizadas en Gaza», mientras la guerra continúa.

Las asociaciones finalmente presentaron un recurso legal para prohibir la presencia de estas empresas en la exposición, «argumentando el riesgo de perpetuar crímenes internacionales». Pero la semana pasada, el Tribunal de Distrito de Bobigny rechazó la solicitud.

No podían exponer armas usadas en Gaza

Sin embargo, se había ordenado a los fabricantes que no exhibieran armas ofensivas, utilizadas en el conflicto de Gaza. Las empresas en cuestión no cumplieron. Las ojivas de misiles aún eran visibles, a pesar de los carteles negros, en el stand de Elbit Systems.

Si se retiran estas armas “ofensivas”, las empresas podrán volver a exponer.

«Nos piden que retiremos lo que vinimos a exponer, no tiene sentido», exclama Roni Ganani. «Hemos decidido no ceder. Estamos celebrando las reuniones que teníamos programadas. Nuestros clientes entran por una puerta trasera. Si es necesario, podríamos permanecer cerrados toda la semana» dijo, furioso.

Su par en Rafael quiere una reapertura «lo antes posible». «Esto es pura discriminación», denunció Schlomo Toaff. «Están ocurriendo acontecimientos muy graves. Luchamos contra las armas nucleares en Irán y el gobierno francés decide censurarnos».

Miembros de la delegación israelí señalaron las «numerosas armas ofensivas» presentadas por muchos otros expositores.

«¿Qué venden los demás a nuestro alrededor? ¿Caramelos blandos?», preguntó uno. «Basta con mirar los stands estadounidenses, en el mismo pabellón que el nuestro, para darse cuenta de que no nos tratan igual», susurró otro. Se están llevando a cabo conversaciones entre las diferentes partes para encontrar una «solución favorable y rápida».

Crisis diplomática

La cuestión de la prohibición de los stands israelíes en el Salón Aeronáutico de París está tomando un cariz de crisis diplomática. El presidente israelí, Isaac Herzog, denunció el lunes una decisión «escandalosa» del gobierno francés.

Advertisement

«Nos sorprendió ver esta mañana que los pabellones israelíes estaban sellados y cerrados, impidiendo todo acceso durante el salón. Empresas israelíes firmaron contratos con los organizadores y ellos pagaron. (…) Es como crear un gueto israelí.Considero esto escandaloso y debe corregirse de inmediato», declaró el jefe de Estado israelí en el canal francés LCI.

Los stands de Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Rafael, Uvision, Elbit y Aeronautics estaban rodeados por altas lonas negras. En un comunicado, el gobierno israelí denunció una «decisión escandalosa y sin precedentes» , que genera «segregación» contra los expositores israelíes.

Más ventas para Airbus

Mientras tanto, la empresa europea Airbus comenzó a beneficiarse con los pedidos de los países del Golfo Pérsico en la feria, que es donde se producen las grandes transacciones de armas y aviones.

El primero fue un pedido de 40 aviones de la arrendadora saudí AviLease. El fabricante europeo de aeronaves anunció el lunes un acuerdo con la arrendadora saudí AviLease para la compra de 30 aviones A320neo y diez cargueros A350, con un valor teórico cercano a los 7000 millones de euros.

El acuerdo, que incluye la posibilidad de ampliar el contrato a 22 cargueros A350F y 55 aviones de la familia A320neo, se firmó ante la prensa en la inauguración del Salón Aeronáutico de París. El importe se calcula con base en los precios de catálogo de 2018. Un concepto que Airbus ha abandonado desde entonces, argumentando que los precios de venta reales dependen de las características específicas de cada contrato, la versión y la configuración del avión, información que ahora es confidencial.

Advertisement

Boeing anunció el lunes que se centrará en sus clientes en el Salón Aeronáutico de París, en lugar de anunciar contratos comerciales, tras el desastre y la caída de uno de sus aviones en India la semana pasada.

«Nos centramos en apoyar a nuestros clientes, en lugar de anunciar pedidos en esta feria», declaró una portavoz del fabricante de aeronaves estadounidense durante la inauguración de la feria al norte de París, habitualmente marcada por su rivalidad con su competidor europeo Airbus.

La aerolínea polaca LOT, cliente tradicional de la estadounidense Boeing y de la brasileña Embraer, ha elegido por primera vez al fabricante aeronáutico europeo Airbus para modernizar su flota con un pedido en firme de 40 A220 , con un valor teórico de 3.400 millones de dólares.

La clausura de los stands israelíes está haciendo perder millones de dólares a los empresarios de Israel en las ventas en la feria, cuando la guerra en Gaza se considera un campo de experimentación para la nueva tecnología de la guerra.

Randi Weingarten, Lee Saunders quit DNC in latest blow to Dem Party leadership

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Two top union leaders have departed the Democratic National Committee (DNC), escalating an internal conflict about the future of the party that was stirred up by former vice chair David Hogg.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, and Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, declined offers to stay on as at-large members of the DNC, as first reported by The New York Times. 

«I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more and more of our communities,» Weingarten, the education leader and longtime voice in Democratic politics, said in a letter to Chair Ken Martin which is now circulating on social media. 

The union labor leaders’ departure is the latest blow to Martin, who just last week put his Hogg problem behind him.

Hogg, the 25-year-old progressive firebrand, announced last week he would not seek re-election for vice chair after sparking internal rifts with his $20 million plan to primary challenge older incumbent Democrats he said are «asleep at the wheel» through his outside political action group, Leaders We Deserve.

DNC CHAIR RIPPED DAVID HOGG OVER PARTY INFIGHTING IN LEAKED MEETING AUDIO: ‘REALLY FRUSTRATING’

«There is a huge vacuum of leadership in the Democratic Party and Ken is proving to be a weak, ineffective leader who isn’t ready for any of this,» a former DNC official, who asked for anonymity to speak more freely, told Fox News Digital. 

A DNC committee member, who was also granted anonymity, told Fox News Digital it was «not surprising» the union leaders decided to step down from the DNC, «given they both supported another candidate.»

Both Weingarten and Saunders supported Martin’s competitor in the race for DNC chair, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler. As chair, Martin later removed Weingarten from the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, which is the group responsible for drafting the Democratic Party’s presidential nominating calendar and election process. 

The committee member said Weingarten and Saunders «are both incredible leaders» with the country’s best interests in mind, and they are «confident we will all come together and focus and continue beating Republicans.»

«I have no doubt both of them, and the labor unions, will move forward and work together with the Chairman, and every other Democrat who is, first and foremost, focused on beating Donald Trump and the existential threat that he and Republicans pose to Americans’ lives and livelihoods and our democracy,» they added.

Another source close to the DNC also pointed to Weingarten’s support for Wikler in a statement to Fox News Digital: «Ever since the horse she bet on in the Chairs race lost, she has always been on the other side of the fence as Ken — this is no surprise.»

Weingarten was also among those in the party who supported Hogg’s controversial plan to primary incumbent older Democrats in safe blue districts. 

Hogg’s decision to leave the DNC followed a damning Politico report, which included leaked audio from a Zoom meeting of Martin lamenting over Hogg’s fallout at the DNC, claiming it had made it harder for Democrats to do their jobs and for Martin to demonstrate his ability to lead.

«I don’t think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So, it’s really frustrating,» Martin said. 

Martin affirmed the DNC would stay neutral in Democratic primaries after Hogg’s $20 million primary pledge. The DNC chair gave Hogg the ultimatum to either rescind his vice chair position or forego his political influence through his PAC. 

However, that did not stop Hogg from defying advice and wading into additional Democratic primaries by endorsing Virginia state Del. Irene Shin in the special election to replace the late Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va.

Members voted Wednesday to uphold the Credentials Committee’s resolution proposed by longtime Democratic Party activist, Kalyn Free, to host a re-election for two vice chair positions, which were held by Hogg and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta.

Martin commended Hogg’s decision Wednesday, thanking him for «his years of activism, organizing, and fighting for his generation,» as the Democratic Party seemed prepared to leave their Hogg drama in the dust.

The union leaders’ departure is the latest public infighting to plague the Democratic Party in the aftermath of losing the White House and Congress in 2024. 

Weingarten and Saunders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
