⚡️⭕️ URGENT APPEAL TO ACTION: HELP LEBANON.

The Naseroon Network that built 2 camps and over 300 tents in Gaza is now working in Lebanon and needs our help as there are over 250,000 Lebanese refugees who are stranded in the streets in addition to the 750,000 others who are in schools, centers, and appartments.

The Lebanese Government still does not consider itself at war and does not see any refugee issues happening, so we are the only ones who can help Lebanon collectively together.

Naseroon has it's own group of volunteers but they also work with existing organizations that are effective by financing them and helping them too, they are building a network to make help the most effective as possible.

Naseroon is still operating in Gaza as we speek and helping thousands.

Please help them, thank you.
Counting on you.

⚡️ 🎦 Trump: Iran has a missile that can reach Europe
The head of the US government shamelessly claimed on Tuesday morning during a speech to Republican Party supporters in Mississippi:
🔹"We did not start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us!!"
Trump, admitting that Iranians make excellent weapons, said:
🔹"They are very smart people...
Iranians now have a missile that practically reaches Europe. They were not supposed to have such a missile. We said: Where did they get this missile from?"

⚡️ Iran: Tehran quadripartite meeting took up regional security and Hormuz; nuclear file not discussed

Mustafa Najafi said the meeting was held under the name of the Tehran meeting, outside the framework of the Mecca Agreement, and was placed within the idea of regional security originating from within the region. Discussions covered Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, Persian Gulf security and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as reducing regional tensions and ending the war. Iran's position toward the United States and its seven conditions did not change. He said a possible outcome could be acceptance of Iranian security concerns and the arrangements Tehran desires.

⚡️⭕️ The Usurper colony votes tomorrow. Who will be Prime Minister?

To govern, a PM needs a team of parties holding 61 of the 120 seats in parliament.

The final polls say nobody gets there:
🔵 Eisenkot's side: ~54 seats
🔴 Netanyahu's side: ~50 seats
⚪ Arab parties: ~15, but most of Eisenkot's allies refuse to work with them

Result: probably a tie. The vote won't pick the PM, the deal-making after it will

If nobody makes a deal, Israel holds another election, and Netanyahu stays PM.

International audience gives Eisenkot 58% chance to make a deal, and Netanyahu 27%, but inside the colony it's much closer to a tie.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Netanyahu crashes to all-time low in odds to remain Prime Minister of Israel after tomorrow's election, as centrist former IDF chief Eisenkot surges.

27% chance.
