U.S. President Donald J. Trump was asked by a reporter earlier on Air Force One about last week’s tariffs and their effect on the global market, and if he sees a “threshold” for pain the market is willing to tolerate, to which he responds, “I think your question is so stupid. I don’t want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.”

The Israeli Air Force carried out a precision-airstrike earlier on the central Gaza Strip, targeting a Hamas rocket launcher that fired 10 projectiles last night against the cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon in the south of Israel, thankfully not resulting in any serious injuries.

10 rockets were fired earlier from the northern Gaza Strip by Hamas towards the city of Ashdod in southern Israel. According to the Israel Defense Force, most of the rockets were intercepted by the “Iron Dome” with others falling in and around Ashkelon. So far there have been no reports of casualties as a result of the rocket impacts.

On March 23rd, as Israeli ground forces were advancing on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, they ambushed a clearly-marked convoy of emergency vehicles operated by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), including several ambulances and a fire truck. During the attack, 14 paramedics and a U.N. staffer were killed, before Israeli forces buried their bodies as well as the destroyed vehicles in as mass grave near Rafah. Despite the Israel Defense Force attempting to justify the attack in a statement following the incident, by claiming that, “Uncoordinated vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals,” video footage recovered from the phone of one of the killed paramedics shows that most if not all of the vehicles were in an organized convoy with their emergency lights on. This is a clear war crime and an investigation needs to be launched immediately by the IDF.

According to an Iranian official who spoke to Reuters, Iran has issued notices to Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey and Bahrain that any support for a U.S. strike against Iran, including the use of their national airspace, territory or bases by the U.S. military during an attack, would be considered an act of hostility.

Trump’s economic adviser gave a comment, apparently cited earlier by Clash Report, that new tariffs on Russia weren’t imposed due to ongoing talks with Russia and Ukraine: “It’s not wise to introduce new issues into these negotiations midstream.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it “accidentally” sent an email Thursday to a number of Ukrainians currently residing legally in the United States, stating that their legal status in the U.S. had been revoked and they must immediately leave the country or the “federal government will find you.” The Ukrainians who received the email, are in the United States under a parole program created under President Biden, allowing around 240,000 Ukrainians to temporarily live in the U.S. after fleeing the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Part of the email from Homeland Security read, “If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States,” before a follow-up message was sent Friday stating that the email Thursday was an error while adding, “the terms of your parole as originally issued remain unchanged at this time.”
