US Sanctions Policy Faces Political Pitfalls Amid Global Tensions

By צבי בראל
Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

The new US sanctions policy under the Trump administration is fraught with political challenges. A senior US Army official resigned after disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Haggett, marking a significant departure after 30 years of service. Meanwhile, a former gang leader has been convicted of the murder of Tupac Shakur.

The Trump administration's decision to invite a senior Russian official to a G20 summit meeting sparked anger in Europe, with European officials refusing to be photographed with him. This comes as Russia continues its drone attacks on Ukraine, leaving Kyiv exhausted and fearful.

In Israel, the IDF has warned of an increasing risk of Palestinians organizing to retaliate against settlers. Tensions are also rising between Prime Minister Netanyahu and a figure identified as Zamir, reportedly due to settler violence. Political commentary suggests a potential successor to Gideon Sa'ar is emerging, while a television critique discusses the perceived fear and erratic behavior of Channel 14 leading up to elections. Benny Gantz's recent actions are described as a fatal mistake, with questions raised about his willingness to concede and the possibility of new elections.
