ICYMI: That’s helpful! US says Israel’s West Bank settlements aren’t illegal or legal… per se (VIDEO) In a move guaranteed to introduce even more uncertainty into the Middle East, the US declared that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are not necessarily illegal under international law. The move was greeted with high praise in Israel, while the Palestinians and pretty much everyone else condemned the decision, saying it could undermine the peace process, and lead to a spike in settlements being built.

He’s my friend,” Trump declared on Friday morning, in response to questions about whether he would sign the bills that both chambers of Congress approved unanimously. The move would satisfy both parties in Washington, but Beijing has warned it will halt all trade talks if the bill becomes law. Also on rt.com ‘Emboldening radicals’: Chin...

‘Illegal colonial occupier’: Mauritius blasts UK as it skips UN deadline to return Chagos Islands housing US airbase The UK missed a UN deadline to vacate its Indian Ocean islands, the largest of which hosts an American airbase, garnering some strong words from its former colony Mauritius, which sold them to London for £3m back in the day.

In May, the UN General Assembly voted by an overwhelming majority (116-to-6) for a resolution demanding that the islands be handed over to Mauritius. Earlier, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) made history...
