| | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | π¬π§ Britain knowingly sends millions to Hamas. A bombshell report from NGO Monitor revealed the British government is sending millions of pounds to Hamas through a cash assistance program coordinated with Gaza's Ministry of Social Development, an entity controlled by Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad. Documents show UK officials acknowledged as early as 2022 that "UK Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting" Hamas, yet funding continued even after October 7. | π₯ RFK Jr. released the MAHA Commission report. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission's report, addressing rising chronic illnesses in children, citing ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, and over-medicalization. The report highlights that 70 percent of children's calories now come from ultra-processed foods, contributing to significant health issues like obesity and diabetes. | π‘ Trump criticized Putin after a massive Ukraine strike. President Trump expressed frustration over Russia's recent large-scale attack on Ukraine, accusing President Vladimir Putin of "killing a lot of people." The assault, one of the largest of the war, targeted Kyiv with 298 drones and 69 missiles, killing 12 and injuring dozens. Trump's frustration with Putin suggests a shift in focus, accepting the reality that Putin is determined to continue his war. | π Trump questioned Harvard's foreign enrollment. President Trump criticized foreign countries for paying "nothing" toward their citizens' education at Harvard, where international students make up nearly one-third of the student body. This comes amid a legal battle over the Trump administration's attempt to revoke Harvard's student visa program. Trump suggested Harvard should use its $52 million endowment rather than relying on federal funding. |

| | | QUICK AND IMPORTANT | Vladimir Putin's helicopter reportedly fended off a Ukrainian drone attack attempting to assassinate him. Roughly 25 percent of corporate sponsors withdrew support for NYC Pride events. A US-German citizen is facing charges for attempting to firebomb the US Embassy in Israel and threatening President Trump's life. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) predicted he has enough Senate allies to block the House Republicans' reconciliation bill until more cuts are included.

| | _THE INTERVIEW_ | Is full isolation in Israel's future? With Curt Mills | | | | Curt Mills is the influential Executive Director of The American Conservative, where he helps shape the national conversation on foreign policy and the future of the American right. | Ari: Curt, thank you so much for joining me today. There's so much going on in the Middle East right now, I know that you are focused on this almost 24/7. | First, let's start with the negotiations with Iran. | A lot of people are saying that this looks like the Obama deal. Other people are pushing for Trump to actually take a military approach here. Can you break this down for us? | Curt: The president has been interested in a new Iran deal since he left the JCPOA in April of 2018. He reiterated that interest after the strike on Soleimani in January 2020. COVID and his ouster from office obviously put that all on ice. The Biden people weren't that serious about a new deal. | There were elections in Iran in 2021, which delivered hardliners to government. The hardliners of government died under quasi-mysterious circumstances in a helicopter crash in the summer of 2024, a year ago now, in June of 2024. | The result after everything that's gone on in the Middle East since October 7 is increasingly a binary, which is that the US stabilizes into some sort of arrangement with the Iranians. | So the Iranians agree to no nuclear weapons, and the US agrees to some sanctions relief desperately needed for the Iranians, or we are now on this ratchet to war. There's quite some wiggle room in there, might be some gray area. | It's possible that the US backs out of these negotiations, doesn't do anything, the Israelis try to use these strikes unilaterally, but all of it is because they don't think they have the full capacity to do that. | The [New York] Times reporting in late March about a potential US-Israeli strike where the US was lending air support to Israeli commandos and then providing an indeterminate amount of air defense indicates the Israelis don't think they can do a mission into Iran unilaterally with any effect to really wipe out the program. | They're also not entirely confident of the Iron Dome if the Iranians actually try to hit them. Of course, the Iranians have fired missiles at them before, but there's ample evidence that it was effectively a cosmetic strike for the consumption of the Iranian people that they didn't really try. | Additionally, you have this sort of deus ex machina character, this Steve Witkoff person who obviously comes from the New York real estate world, knows Trump, but is obviously a prominent figure in the American Jewish community. He has sort of defied ideology in a lot of ways. He's clearly not a straight hawkish neocon kind of person. | His approach to negotiations is very Trumpist, which is that he wants to talk to all parties. Both he and the hostage envoy, Adam Boler, who has a reasonably similar background β friends with the Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner β have both said, Why not talk to Hamas? Why not talk to Iran? | Maybe they're more reasonable than we think, and that's got a lot of attention and negative clamor here and elsewhere. | Ari: When I think about the Iran deal negotiations, the first thing I think about is maybe back when it was Obama, or just newly Trump, and everyone was railing against Obama's Iran deal. | They were saying that even if there was some kind of arrangement where they could say, Iran's only going to enrich this much, we can't really trust them. | When you look at Iran now, they're under a lot of pressure. They've had sanctions on them from all their wars since October 7, and Netanyahu has weakened their proxies. | What does that negotiation actually look like? How will it play out if some remain skeptical about enrichment, but Iran needs to reach a deal regardless? | Curt: Most evidence suggests that zero enrichment is close to a real red line for the Iranians, that they won't sign a deal with zero enrichmentβ¦ | |
