Israel + Trump = Safer World

G7 Leaders Gather in Canada for a Summit Overshadowed by Israel-Iran Crisis and Trade Wars

Leaders of some of the world’s biggest economic powers arrive in the Canadian Rockies for a Group of Seven Summit that's been shadowed by an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and U.S. President Donald Trump’s unresolved trade war. Israel’s strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliation appeared to catch many world leaders unawares. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has decided to abandon the annual practice of issuing a joint statement. With other leaders wanting to talk to Trump in an effort to talk him out of slapping tariffs, the summit risks being a series of bilateral conversations rather than a show of unity.

The Latest: Iran Launches a New Wave of Missile Attacks on Israel as Conflict Enters Fourth Day

Iran has fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel, triggering air raid sirens across the country as emergency services reported at least five killed and dozens more wounded in the fourth day of a conflict between the regional foes that showed no sign of slowing. Powerful explosions, likely from Israel’s defense systems intercepting Iranian missiles, rocked Tel Aviv shortly before dawn on Monday. Plumes of black smoke rose into the sky over the major coastal city. The latest salvo comes after a weekend of escalating tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran that raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war.
