Trump home - no big deals made in China trip - US trying to kidnap Evo Morales in Bolivia

• A senior Israeli official told Channel 12 that the resumption of fighting is imminent, adding that Israel is preparing for the possibility of days or even weeks of combat as negotiations appear to have reached a dead end. According to the official, the Americans also understand that the talks are not making meaningful progress, while Israeli officials in Jerusalem are awaiting Trump’s decision regarding the next phase. Israeli assessments indicate that the overall picture is expected to become clearer within the next 24 hours.
• The judge Benny Sagi who presided over Netanyahu's corruption case has been found DEAD in a suspicious “accident.” He accidentally shot himself in the back of the head and then jumped off a balcony. 

• A journalist asks the Saudi ambassador in Lebanon what you want from the Lebanese government. The ambassador said, "We want Hezbollah's weapons to be in the hands of the state, and it is not permissible to use them except with its approval." So the journalist said, "And do the American bases you have there are not permissible to use except with your approval?" The ambassador replied, "It seems you are not a journalist and that you are from Hezbollah." So the journalist replied, "And it seems you are an ambassador for America and not an ambassador for Saudi Arabia."

• While Trump was in China some 30 Chinese ships moved through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian authorities. Given that Trump was in China the U.S. blockaders near Hormuz did not dare to make attempts to stop those ships. This has thus has set a precedence which will allow continues Chinese shipping. For China the Strait is open.

• Republican Attorney Adam Hoffman sexually abused a young boy for years. Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton gave him a 60-day sentence. (Paxton is running for the US Senate seat in Texas.) This is crazy.  60 days for sexual abuse of a 6-9 year old.  Pedophilia has basically become legal if you have connections.
• Hebrew Channel 15: The Israeli occupying army has begun distributing nets to forces in Lebanon to protect against Hezbollah drones. So far, around 158,000 square meters of nets have been distributed, while procurement is underway for an additional 188,000 square meters to arrive later. 

• Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: “Germany is once again leading the movement in support of Nazism in Europe. President Zelensky has now been appointed to the role of Führer.”
• The U.S. Air Force’s MQ-9 Reaper fleet has fallen to roughly 135 aircraft as combat attrition from Operation Epic Fury cuts into the service’s most heavily used remotely piloted asset, the deputy chief of staff for plans and programs told senators Tuesday. A drop from 189 to 135 would represent a 29% loss of the entire fleet—whether this is all from Epic Fury, or also includes losses to the Houthis in recent times, it’s an unquestionably massive wipeout of one of the US’s key ISR fleets in fairly short order. And should we even mention each Reaper costs tens of millions? 

• Bloomberg: During the recent war, UAE leader Mohammed bin Zayed personally called the leaders of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, proposing to form an Arab coalition against Iran, but every country refused.
• Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov: "Russia is outraged by US cynicism towards Cuba, tightening the blockade, while also calling for ‘dialogue’. Russia stands shoulder to shoulder with Cuba and will not abandon its principled line of support for Havana’."
• EU's Ursula Von der Leyen: "Ukraine has clearly demonstrated that it wants to live within the framework of European values ​​and standards." 

• The recent Ukrainian drone flights that crashed in the Baltics seems to have the odor of something concealed beneath the surface. Perhaps the Baltics are simply trying to distance themselves from Ukrainian activities in order to give the appearance that they are not involved in the willful allowance of Ukrainian drones transiting their airspace. Or perhaps there is true elite conflict in the upper echelons, which would explain Latvia’s governmental collapse: there are likely many patriots there who do not agree with Brussels’ mandate for war against Russia, and have therefore put tremendous pressure on their political figures to end covert participation in Ukraine’s provocations, which they know will lead to wide-scale European war. 

• Sputnik: The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended by 45 days to enable further progress in the negotiations, US State Department spokesperson Thomas Pigott said on Friday. "On May 14 and 15, the US hosted two days of highly-productive talks between Israel and Lebanon. The April 16 cessation of hostilities will be extended by 45 days to enable further progress," Pigott said on X. It's likely another Israeli public relations gimmick. They never abide by any ceasefires. Just ask the people in Gaza - or Lebanon.
• Soros was instrumental in establishing the Ukrainian Nazi regime. In 2015, George Soros and World Economic Forum 'Young Global Leader' Chrystia Freeland, who now serves as an unpaid economic adviser to Zelensky, openly admitted that Ukraine's leadership was bought and paid for by George Soros. Soros funded scholarships and civil society for decades. 25 years later, those same people run the country. Soros poured over $230 million into Ukraine since 1990. 

• Israel stabs the UAE in the back for a second time, now revealing that not only Netanyahu visited Abu Dhabi, but also the IDF Chief of Staff, the head of Mossad, and the head of Shin Bet. Israel’s arrogance and their need to brag is destroying the very relationship they are so proud of. Emirati officials are reportedly ‘outraged’ with the new revelation. Israel is showing its backside to the entire world - repeatedly!
• Russia and Ukraine exchanged bodies of fallen soldiers. Kiev received 526 bodies, Moscow received 41. We hear alot of US politicians and NATO mouthpieces say that Russia loses more troops than Ukraine. These numbers have been consistently showing us the actual truth. The graveyards in Ukraine are over flowing.

• Official Summary of the Statement by Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi (Yemen): The statement affirms that the repeated Jewish insults to the Holy Quran are part of a hostile Zionist campaign led by America and Israel, targeting Islam and Muslims. The statement warns of a satanic scheme aimed at enslaving and corrupting humanity, citing the "Epstein" documents and the Island of Satan as evidence of Zionist criminality. Sayyid al-Qaid calls on the Yemeni people to take to the streets and hold protests in support of the Quran, Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestine, and Lebanon, and to affirm readiness for any American-Israeli escalation. And peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
• In Bangladesh, a real lookalike of Donald Trump has appeared - a huge pink albino buffalo weighing about 700 kilograms. The animal with a bright red "hairstyle" on its head quickly became a celebrity. The buffalo is kept on the Rabeya Agro Farm in the city of Narayanganj. Thanks to its light skin and characteristic golden-red fur on its head, it strikingly resembles the American president. Local residents immediately gave it a fitting nickname. Many now specifically come to the farm to take photos with it.

• Sputnik: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Monday that her team will conduct an investigation into more than 120 US-funded biological laboratories located abroad, including in Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly stated that the US has been funding the development of biological weapons and has placed dozens of its biological laboratories in Ukraine in violation of international agreements.
• The US is sending a 2,300-person paramilitary force to kidnap/murder Bolivia’s couped president, Evo Morales. The US ordered the government of Rodrigo Paz to carry out the military operation, with the support of the DEA and the U.S. Southern Command. This comes just a few years after Elon Musk threatened to coup whoever he wants, directed toward the indigenous president. Thousands of union workers have surrounded Evo Morales' rural residence to protect him.  The documents (below) acknowledge this and confirm that the US will launch the armed assault regardless, they're already referring to protesters as "human shields".
