Attacks by Israeli extremists in the West Bank on Palestinians are a total disgrace, should long ago have been stopped and the perpetrators arrested and prosecuted. The violence, intimidation, destruction, the stealing, resulting injuries and murders have evolved into a state of lawlessness that no democratic state should tolerate. The perception of impunity of those responsible is symptomatic of an indefensible collapse in basic human values and the rule of law for which Israel’s current government is responsible. The sooner Israeli elections are held the better.

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today. And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life. I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!

I often hear people from the West praising China, saying it is run by CCP leaders who are highly educated and well-trained elites. However, they often overlook the fact that their supreme leader only graduated from elementary school and never finished junior high.

When China steals American technology — or worse, when we willingly hand it over to them — it arms multiple enemies at once. Xi is sharing China’s chips and equipment with Putin in his war against Ukraine. Another reason why keeping critical tech out of the Chinese communist party’s hands matters.

For 70 years @NATO has been the cornerstone of our national security. Our commitment to the Alliance remains steadfast, and I’m very pleased the UK has been invited to host the 70th anniversary leaders’ meeting later this year. #WeAreNATO
