US ‘troubled’ by Israeli settlement expansion plans in West Bank – BBC News
The Israeli government has advanced plans for some 5,700 new homes in the occupied West Bank.
The announcement comes despite US pressure to stop settlement expansion, which it sees as an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians.
A US spokesperson said Washington was “deeply troubled” by the development.
Four Israeli settlers were shot dead by Palestinians last week, prompting days of settler violence.
Violence between Palestinians and Israelis has flared since Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was re-elected last year.

Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.
More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.
Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Considering the average settler has 5 kids (just like their Arab neighbours mind you) home expansion is necessary to keep up with natural population growth. What do you want to do, forcibly sterilise the population?

Growing up i always look up to wow USA is powerful but nope. Historians try to make america is the centre of map when its not. Every time white house announce they condemn or say worry … are all lies. USA is never for their own people either,,, its only interest is its political standing….. Shocked from bush era to now, westbank map changed on google again, and again, and to reveal settlers have build malls houses school…… at the cost of palestinians…its not fair. I'm all about equality and diversity, and White House is nothing close to that.

The US would never actually try to stop these evil settlers since America did the same thing to us when they stole our land.
But just like us indigenous people the palestinians WILL fight back to defend their home from these monsters.

Dear Jb, do not rhetoric talk like a parrot. Ask bo's advise when you feel pressured by outlandish dumb heads in disguise of so called allies.
This era's fact:
Neither cevert agents of Saudis (murderers in the name of religion and it's business) nor Israelis (greedy, coward assassinators for wealth) should have any access to American and Canadian political areas via senator, congressmen etc. etc.
They should be identified by their religious affiliations and hidden dogmas if true prosperity is desired and supported to prevail in the North American Lands in the awakened "New globally interconnected generation".

Israel has been fought over since 1568 BC when Moses took the 40 years route for a 2 week journey.
