Adopted by 142 states, the “New York Declaration” paves the way for a 22 September summit to push for greater recognition of a phantasmatic Palestinian state. In recent months, a chorus of western governments has lined up behind this French- and Saudi-led statehood scheme. The upcoming UN conference comes as Israel’s genocide in Gaza nears its two-year mark, with at least 64,000 Palestinians killed and a catastrophic humanitarian crisis inflicted through weaponised starvation and the systematic destruction of the territory.…

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said President Donald Trump’s suggestion of companies reporting on a semiannual basis would be good news for investors.Trump proposed scrapping quarterly earnings reports in a Truth Social post on Monday, saying it would allow company executives to focus on long-term goals rather than fixate on short-term metrics.”President Trump realizes that whether it’s the U.K., [or] it is the U.S., our public markets are atrophying, and this might be one way to bring back and cut costs for public companies without harming investors,” Bessent told CNBC in London on Tuesday.U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at…
