Israël a mené une série de frappes aériennes surprises à Doha, la capitale du Qatar, affirmant viser de hauts responsables du Hamas.
Le président américain Donald Trump a affirmé être «très mécontent» de cette opération, dont il aurait été brièvement informé avant qu’elle n’ait lieu, selon ce qu’il affirme.
Il s’est dit surpris par une attaque menée sur un territoire qu’il considère comme allié.
L’opération, sans précédent, menée à Doha au Qatar, un médiateur clé dans les discussions de cessez-le-feu à Gaza, a eu lieu alors que les négociateurs examinaient une récente proposition de trêve soutenue par Donald Trump, selon CNN.
Six personnes ont été tuées, dont un agent de sécurité qatari, mais la direction du Hamas a affirmé avoir survécu à l’attaque.
Bien qu’Israël pensait avoir atteint ses cibles, le Hamas a affirmé que la frappe avait échoué à éliminer ses membres chargée des discussions de cessez-le-feu. Parmi eux se trouvait l’une des principales cibles de l’attaque: le négociateur en chef du Hamas, Khalil Al-Hayya.
Donald Trump a réagi à l’attaque surprise au Qatar en affirmant qu’il n’était «pas enthousiasmé par toute la situation» et qu’il s’était senti «très mécontent de tous les aspects». Cette déclaration intervient alors que le Qatar a qualifié l’offensive israélienne de «violation» du droit international.
Donald Trump a déjà fait parler de lui pour sa relation étroite avec le Qatar, notamment lorsqu’il avait accepté de recevoir un Boeing 747‑8 initialement évalué à environ 400 millions de dollars, offert comme cadeau, une opération jugée très controversée.
Il envisageait d’employer cet avion comme Air Force One jusqu’à la fin de mandat, avant de le transférer ensuite à sa fondation ou bibliothèque présidentielle.
Vladimir Poutine a récemment violé l’espace aérien de l’OTAN en voyant un groupe de 19 drones au-dessus de la Pologne, alors que la Russie menait une attaque contre l’Ukraine.
L’armée polonaise a été contrainte d’abattre ces engins, tandis que le Premier ministre Donald Tusk qualifiait les actions de la Russie de «provocation à grande échelle» contre le territoire de l’OTAN.
Selon le New York Times, Donald Tusk a souligné la gravité de ce geste de la Russie en déclarant:
«La situation est grave.»
Tusk a ajouté que l’OTAN devait se préparer à tous les scénarios, rappelant qu’il s’agissait de la première incursion en territoire de l’Alliance depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine en 2022:
«Personne ne doute que nous devons nous préparer à divers scénarios.»
Le Premier ministre polonais a déclaré que l’incident plaçait le pays dans «la situation la plus proche que nous ayons connue d’un conflit ouvert».
Tusk a toutefois précisé qu’il n’y avait pas de raison de dire que la Pologne est «au bord de la guerre», ajoutant néanmoins:
«Une ligne a été franchie.»
Trump and his entourage have multiplied their reactions following the revelation, by the Oversight Committee, of the famous birthday letter sent by Epstein’s estate following a subpoena.
The message, attributed to Trump, had been sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Donald Trump, who had repeatedly denied the existence of a birthday message mentioned by the Wall Street Journal, where he referred to « a wonderful secret » with Epstein and added a drawing depicting a naked woman, assured that he did not draw and had never sent such a note.
Questioned by NBC News after the official post confirming the document’s authenticity, Trump simply said he had no comment on the matter:
« I don’t comment on something that’s a dead issue. »
Trump then declared:
« I gave all comments to the staff, » while White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt denied it was his signature on the letter and drawing, signed simply « Donald », saying:
« It’s very clear that President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. »
Following the post on his father’s birthday message to Epstein, Eric Trump for his part said in an interview on Newsmax:
« My father does not sketch out cartoon drawings. »
JD Vance also reacted, on X…
…to the post attributing the birthday message to Trump, accusing Democrats and saying it was « another fake scandal like Russiagate to smear President Trump with lies ».
Some Republicans also reacted publicly to the letter.
Florida Representative Byron Donalds and Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett have both questioned the authenticity of the signature, while several media outlets point out that Trump has, on various occasions over the years, signed only with his first name.
South Korea is angry after ICE arrested more than 300 of its workers at a Hyundai-LG plant under construction in Georgia.
The immigration raid on a Hyundai-LG battery factory in Georgia has sent shock waves across South Korea.“We spend a lot of money in the United States and we get slapped in the face,” said Choi Jong-gun, former vice foreign minister.

This case comes just a few weeks after a mega-trade agreement in which Seoul pledged to invest $350 billion in the United States in return for a 15% tariff.
It will be recalled that a major immigration raid was carried out on a factory under construction in Georgia on September 4, during which nearly 475 people were arrested following a months-long investigation by the Department of Homeland Security.
South Korea has since obtained an agreement to repatriate some of the South Korean workers detained by the US authorities.
There was total incomprehension on the South Korean side: the government, former high-ranking officials and the opposition denounced this brutal action, deemed by some to be « disrespectful » towards a strategic ally and even described as a « slap in the face ».
They also stressed the importance of the trade agreement reached on July 30, as Choi Jong-gun, former vice foreign minister, recalled: « We spend a lot of money in the United States ».
According to The Washington Post, Israel, under threats from the United Arab Emirates, recently abandoned its plans to annex the West Bank.
For weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been weighing formally annexing much or all of the occupied West Bank.Now, an unusual message, delivered by a crucial Arab partner, is complicating his decision-making.
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost.com) 2025-09-06T17:30:06.126363369Z
This decision comes after the Emirates clearly warned that any attempt to annex part of this territory would constitute a « red line » likely to jeopardize the Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 and considered a historic breakthrough in normalization between Israel and several Arab countries.
Faced with this risk, Netanyahu has removed annexation from the government’s official agenda.
The region remains under high tension with the war in Gaza, which has already claimed tens of thousands of Palestinian lives, triggered after the Hamas forward in October 2023. The humanitarian crisis is severe, and Israeli operations are worsening Israel’s relations with its Arab neighbors.
An annexation of the West Bank would undoubtedly have shattered Israel’s relations with the Emirates and other Gulf countries, threatening the stability of the region.
Billionaire hedge fund manager, co-CIO and founder of Bridgewater Associates Ray Dalio has commented on Donald Trump’s extreme policies, warning that the US is sliding towards an autocratic regime that he compares to those of the 1930s and 1940s, in an interview with the Financial Times reported by CNN.
Ray Dalio illustrates his remarks by drawing on the recent decision by Trump and his administration to take a 10% stake in Intel.
Prior to this deal, Trump had viciously forward attacked CEO Lip-Bu Tan on Truth Social, accusing him of China-related conflicts of interest and demanding his immediate resignation.
Ultimately, Trump turned $11 billion in subsidies into a 10% public stake in Intel, boasting that Tan had offered « $10 billion to the United States » to keep his job, reviving accusations of political interference and a drift toward state capitalism, echoed by Dalio:
« Tan walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States. »
Since that deal, Trump no longer seems concerned about the Intel executive’s supposed ties to China.
Ray Dalio also highlighted the silence of many actors, who dread speaking out against the regime for fear of reprisals from Trump and his administration:
« Most people are silent because they are afraid of retaliation if they criticize. »
