‘All options are on the table’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted Tuesday that «all options are on the table for each country» when it comes to making deals over the latest U.S. tariffs, but warned those who retaliate that President Donald Trump «has a spine of steel and he will not break.» 

Leavitt said since Trump’s «Liberation Day» tariff announcements, 70 countries have already reached out to the president to begin negotiations.  

«On the other hand, countries like China who have chosen to retaliate and try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers are making a mistake. President Trump has a spine of steel and he will not break,» Leavitt added, referencing 34% retaliatory tariffs that China unveiled against the U.S. last week…Read more

Estas son las cinco condiciones aprobadas por Israel para poner fin a la guerra en Gaza

Published

Estos son los cinco principios que Israel fijó como condición para poner fin a la guerra en la Franja de Gaza (REUTERS)

Israel dio un nuevo paso en su estrategia militar y política en la Franja de Gaza al definir los términos que, según su gobierno, permitirían poner fin al actual conflicto con el grupo terrorista Hamas. En una sesión clave celebrada este viernes, el Gabinete de Seguridad aprobó una serie de principios que establecen las condiciones mínimas para un eventual alto el fuego, así como un nuevo plan de acción militar centrado en la ocupación de la Ciudad de Gaza, uno de los últimos bastiones del grupo islamista.

Las decisiones se producen en un momento en que el conflicto ha alcanzado un punto crítico tanto en el frente militar como en el terreno diplomático. Las autoridades israelíes sostienen que la derrota total de Hamas y la recuperación de los rehenes son objetivos innegociables. A la vez, se intensifican los debates internos sobre la viabilidad y el impacto humanitario de una ocupación más amplia del enclave palestino.

Los principios, informados por la Oficina del Primer Ministro, son:

  1. El desarme de Hamas.
  2. El regreso de todos los rehenes, vivos y muertos.
  3. La desmilitarización de Gaza.
  4. Control de seguridad israelí en Gaza.
  5. El establecimiento de una administración civil que no sea ni Hamas ni la Autoridad Palestina.

Según el comunicado oficial, “una mayoría decisiva de ministros del Gabinete de Seguridad creía que el plan alternativo que se había presentado al Gabinete de Seguridad no lograría la derrota de Hamas ni el regreso de los rehenes”.

Horas antes de la aprobación de la misión, el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu declaró que Israel no quiere gobernar Gaza. “Queremos entregársela a fuerzas árabes que la gobiernen adecuadamente sin amenazarnos y garantizando una vida digna para los gazatíes; eso no es posible con Hamas”, afirmó.

En la misma sesión, el gabinete también aprobó un plan militar presentado por Netanyahu para que las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) ocupen la Ciudad de Gaza, situada en el norte del enclave palestino. La decisión fue comunicada oficialmente por la Oficina del Primer Ministro y confirmada por medios locales.

Antes de la reunión del

Según el comunicado, las FDI se prepararán para avanzar sobre la ciudad y se comprometerán a garantizar la provisión de ayuda humanitaria a la población civil ubicada fuera de las zonas de combate. La oficina del primer ministro señaló que el gabinete respaldó la “propuesta de Netanyahu para derrotar a Hamas” y que Israel “proporcionará ayuda humanitaria a la población civil fuera de las zonas de combate”.

Indicó, además, que de los 50 rehenes que Israel contabiliza como aún cautivos de Hamas, se cree que 20 continúan con vida. El regreso de estas personas, junto con la eliminación de la capacidad militar del grupo, forman parte central de los principios aprobados.

Medios israelíes señalaron que el plan alternativo rechazado sería el impulsado por el jefe del Estado Mayor de las FDI, Eyal Zamir, quien expresó su oposición a la ocupación total de la franja, argumentando que podría derivar en un desastre humanitario y poner en riesgo la vida de los cautivos.

El comunicado del gobierno se refiere únicamente a la Ciudad de Gaza y no menciona la ocupación de toda la Franja, aunque el jueves Netanyahu había declarado que su objetivo era tomar el control total del enclave. La ciudad representa aproximadamente el 25% del territorio que las FDI todavía no controlan, junto con varios campos de refugiados en el centro de Gaza.

No está claro si las otras áreas no conquistadas serán incluidas en etapas posteriores del plan aprobado. El énfasis en la Ciudad de Gaza indica que la toma de control militar se iniciará de manera gradual.

La ciudad, donde viven cerca de 800.000 residentes, es uno de los últimos bastiones bajo control de Hamas y concentra una alta densidad de población civil. Su eventual ocupación reduciría aún más el territorio habitable para los 2 millones de habitantes de Gaza y anticipa complejidades operativas y humanitarias en las próximas semanas.

The order also instructs the task force to review and, if needed, revise federal prosecutorial policies on pretrial detention of criminal defendants to ensure individuals who pose a threat to public safety are detained to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Additionally, the order instructs the task force to direct maximum enforcement of federal immigration law, redirecting federal, state or local law enforcement resources to apprehend and deport illegals throughout the area.

Zoo’s request for donations of pets to be fed to predatory animals draws PETA blowback

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A zoo in Europe is inviting the public to turn unwanted pets into prey, calling for donations of fluffy rabbits and family guinea pigs to be euthanized and fed to its predator residents.

The Aalborg Zoo in Denmark announced the program in a Facebook post, sparking public uproar, including the ire of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

«If you have an animal that, for various reasons, needs to be rehomed, you are welcome to donate it to us. The animals are humanely euthanized by trained staff and then used as feed,» the zoo wrote in the social media post. «In this way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, proper nutrition, and well-being for our predators.»

The zoo said private individuals and businesses can donate chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, which organizers said make up an important part of predators’ diets.

Specifically, the zoo said the Eurasian lynx requires «whole» prey animals that resemble what it would naturally hunt in the wild.

«In zoos, we have a responsibility to replicate the animals’ natural food chain — for the sake of both animal welfare and professional integrity,» employees wrote in the post.

The zoo is also accepting horses, noting owners «can join us all the way if you wish.»

PETA weighed in on the controversial initiative, saying there is nothing «natural» about the donation request.

«It’s not ‘natural behaviour’ for predators from Asia, who roam and hunt for their meals, to be fed companion animals who originated in South America,» PETA wrote in an online news release. «Companion animals are never needed to ‘imitate the natural food chain of the [zoo’s] animals’ (as an Aalborg Zoo spokesperson described the program).»

PETA added if the Aalborg Zoo «truly cares about animals,» it should focus on protecting species in their natural habitats.

The zoo later turned off the comments on its Facebook post detailing the program, citing «significant international interest.»

«We understand that the post evokes emotions and interest, but hateful and malicious rhetoric is unnecessary — and we encourage keeping a respectful tone,» leadership wrote. «We’re happy to elaborate and answer questions via private messages or email.»

The Aalborg Zoo and PETA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
