Australia backs Lebanon’s sovereignty and opposes occupation, Penny Wong tells Israel
Foreign minister reiterates condemnation of Iran over the strait of Hormuz, and says Australia does not want to see occupation of southern Lebanon by Israel Penny Wong has told her Israeli counterpart that Australia supports Lebanon’s sovereignty and does not want to see the southern part of the country occupied by Israel, after the Netanyahu government revealed plans to pursue a “defensive buffer” against Iran-backed armed group, Hezbollah. It comes as Israel vowed to continue striking Iran, dimming hopes of de-escalation even as US president Donald Trump talked up the prospects of a deal to end the conflict. Continue reading...

So the President of the United States of America is posting to his personal social media network blatantly fake news videos that I'm pretty sure are AI generated slop. This one is supposedly about Gavin Newsom panicking that Walmart is pulling out of California (it's not).
Post on Truth Social from Donald Trump. He's reposting some rando MAGA account saying: More bad news for Gavin Newson, The world's largest employer Walmart is closing 250 stores in California citing $22 per hour minimum wage leaves them on competitive with their small profit margin, wewee that's a big number, this man has the fifth largest economy in the world and has a more than $20 billion budget deficit and he wants to be president of the whole United States and the sad part is there will be more than 60 million people that will vote for him.

This is over a video supposedly about Newsom and Walmart.
