The comment -- which Putin made at a rare press conference with foreign news outlets -- came after several Western countries including the United States gave Ukraine the green light to strike targets inside Russia, a move Moscow has called a grave miscalculation. "If someone thinks it is possible to supply such weapons to a warzone to attack our territory and create prob...

Such action by the West will further undermine international security and could lead to “very serious problems.” he said, adding that Moscow could provide long-range weapons to others to str...

After voting to send bombs to the Israeli military, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) condemned the Israeli military for killing Palestinian civilians with an American-made bomb. And after urging the Israeli military to use smaller munitions, the Biden administration found itself scrambling to deal with a mass civilian casualty event caused by one of those smaller weapons. On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force bombed Tel al-S...

Washington (AFP) - A long-awaited State Department report on Friday said that Israel likely violated norms on international law in its use of US weapons but it did not find enough evidence to block shipments. The report said it was "reasonable to assess" that Israel, which receives some $3 billion in US weapons a year, has used the arms in ways inconsistent with standards on humanitarian rights but that the United States could not reach "conclusive findings." The report had been held up for several days amid debate within the State Department on whether to reprimand Israel, a historic US ally ...

Washington (AFP) - The United States said Wednesday it was considering potential further holds on weapons to Israel after it halted shipments of powerful bombs out of concern about plans for a Rafah invasion.

"We paused one shipment of high-payload munitions" for Israel but have not "made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment," Austin said. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the United States had ...
