Colombia is demanding the expulsion of Israel's ambassador following a heated diplomatic dispute over Israel's intensive bombardment of Gaza. President Gustavo Petro drew a parallel between Israel's actions in Gaza and those of Nazi Germany, declaring “we do not support genocides.” He also accused Mossad of creating Hamas.

“Those who previously said that I support the FARC (former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) are now saying the same about Hamas. Hamas was conceived by Mossad under the pretext of dividing and punishing the Palestinian people. The dialogue between honorable people has been replaced by apartheid, oppression, despair, and bloody terrorism. What they really want is to expel and destroy the Palestinian people from their ancient lands,” Petro said.

Colombian Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva expressed the view that the ambassador should, at the very least, issue an apology and leave the country. Israeli envoy Gali Dagan has been one of the harshest critics of the president.

16:11 GMT

The US military has selected around 2,000 soldiers for possible deployment to assist Israel in anticipation of a ground invasion of Gaza, according to sources in the defense sector who spoke with the Wall Street Journal.

There are reportedly no plans to deploy infantry troops at this time.

The selected US troops are currently stationed in different locations, both within the Middle East and outside, including Europe, according to WSJ sources. The exact conditions for their potential deployment and their eventual destination remain uncertain.

Jack Smith Hiding Names of His Prosecutors Trying to Jail Trump in Violation of Federal FOIA Law

Special Counsel Jack Smith is still hiding the names of his prosecutors in violation of federal Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) law.

The Jack Smith Special Counsel refuses to release the names of his team members. Why is that? We know they are most certainly ALL Democrats. We know they lack integrity and honor.

In June, Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch sued Joe Biden’s DOJ to obtain the names of the radical Democrats who are members of Jack Smith’s Special Counsel.

Jack Smith refuses to release the names of his team of radical prosecutors trying to jail Trump.

“Jack Smith is hiding, in violation of Federal FOIA law, the names of the prosecutors trying to jail Trump…” Judicial Watch boss Tom Fitton said on Monday after Judge Tanya Chutkan gagged Trump on Jack Smith’s order.

This isn’t the first time Trump was the target of a special counsel and a team of angry Democrat lawyers.

In 2017 a compromised Jeff Sessions effectively stepped away from his role as Attorney General days after he was sworn in and turned it over to corrupt Rod Rosenstein, a DC lifer to set up a Special Counsel into the Trump-Russia collusion hoax – something all of the top brass in the DOJ knew was completely fabricated before the Special Counsel was even formed.

It was obvious that corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann was running the show since Mueller is suffering from dementia.

Weissmann and Mueller immediately hired 13 angry Democrats inside the DOJ to run the attempted coup of President Trump.

The Mueller team of 13 angry Democrats withheld evidence, lied under oath to the court, jailed and indicted innocent men in their quest to oust President Trump. They interfered in the 2018 and 2020 elections. They lied to the American public. And they are all walking free today.

Trump Sues Christopher Steele Over Dirty, Hillary Clinton-Funded Russia Dossier

President Trump on Monday filed a lawsuit in Britain against former British spy Christopher Steele over the dirty Russia dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton.

Congressman Nunes previously revealed in a FISA memo that he released over 5 years ago — the FISA warrants used to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page was based “ENTIRELY” on information from the phony, Hillary-funded Steele dossier.

Trump “is suing Orbis Business Intelligence for alleged data protection breaches over a dossier written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who co-founded Orbis.” Reuters reported.

According to Reuters, “Trump said in a witness statement that the dossier contained “numerous false, phoney or made-up allegations” and that he sued Orbis to “prove, by evidence at trial, that the data are false”.

“Trump said he had not at any time hired prostitutes to engage in “golden showers” – a sex act involving urination – in a Moscow hotel, taken part in “sex parties” in St. Petersburg or given Russian authorities “sufficient material to blackmail me”.

Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election.

The memos were made into a largely debunked dossier that was eventually published by BuzzFeed on January 10, 2017.

According to the Dossier published by BuzzFeed, Trump partook in “golden showers” in Russia with prostitutes on a bed Obama once slept on… Russia then blackmailed Trump, not by asking for money or influence in his business deals, but by forcing him to run for president against all odds and win.

In October 2017, the Washington Post reported that Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee paid for the Fusion GPS dossier alleging Russian ties with the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and phony personal smears of Trump.

Hillary Clinton then claimed she didn’t know about the Russia dossier that her campaign actually paid for until after Buzzfeed published the 35-page document in January of 2017.

Clinton’s team lied for nearly a year about funding the anti-Trump dossier.

The FBI had also received warnings about former British spy Christopher Steele that he hated Trump and that Hillary Clinton’s campaign had planted the Russian collusion story in an effort to distract from her email scandal.

The FBI terminated Christopher Steele in November of 2016 but Comey used his fake dossier and signed the January 2017 FISA renewal on Carter Page anyway.

Hillary Clinton created this whole mess and not one person involved in Spygate went to prison.

Only one FBI lawyer (Kevin Clinesmith) was charged in the Spygate scandal with one count of making false statements and ultimately sentenced to probation.
