Why is Tony Blair tipped to help run Gaza under Trump peace plan

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair would help run Gaza as part of an international board under a peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump. Blair was the first-named member of a "Board of Peace", chaired by Trump, which would temporarily oversee Gaza's governance, if Hamas accepts the proposal. Trump said "leaders from other countries" on the board will be named later. Former British prime minister Tony Blair.

Bad buildings, biological weapons and killing cows: Trump’s most notable lines at the UN

US President Donald Trump's hour-long address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York was full of mockery, bizarre tangents and praises for his own accomplishments. He spent a considerable amount of time criticising the UN for its "bad teleprompter and bad building" and failure to stop international conflicts, leaving it up to him to end seven "unendable" wars. Maybe his most shocking line was when he told world leaders, "Your countries are going to hell" if they did not crack down on migration.

Here is a compilation of some of the president's most notable lines. 'Whoever's operatin...

Macron forced to walk NYC streets as Trump motorcade blocks traffic

Traffic during the United Nations General Assembly in New York can be brutal—even for presidents. French President Emmanuel Macron suddenly found himself stranded on the sidewalk Monday night. That's because President Donald Trump's motorcade had the street on lockdown. Macron picked up the phone and called Trump to jokingly complain about the gridlock. Macron called the US president when he was blocked by his motorcade. (TikTok) "How are you? Guess what? I'm waiting in the street because everything is closed for you," Macron says on the call. Eventually, the barricades opened for pedestrians, but not for cars. Macron had to keep the call going while walking to the French embassy. And if that wasn't unusual enough, a bystander seized the opportunity f...

Trump calls climate change ‘the greatest con job ever perpetrated’ on the world

US President Donald Trump has told the UN General Assembly that climate change was "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world". Addressing the global body at its New York headquarters on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), he scoffed at past predictions warning of global disaster from climate change. The vast majority of climate scientists have concluded climate change is happening, and that it is mainly caused by fossil fuel pollution.

But Trump refused to be swa...

Trump criticises recognition of Palestine and hits out at UN in General Assembly speech

US President Donald Trump has criticised the decision by Australia and other allies to recognise the state of Palestine, while hitting out at the United Nations itself in his first speech to the global body in five years. He was speaking a day after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined leaders from France, the UK, Belgium and several other countries in formally announcing or confirming their support for a Palestinian state in a move aimed at galvanising support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. Without naming the individual countries, Trump accused them of rewarding Hamas for the deadly October 7 attacks.
