Tensions Rise as Cuba Reports Deadly Clash With Florida-Based Speedboat

  Vice President JD Vance came to the Capitol to break the tie, meaning he vote was 51-50 for a Republican point of order to dismiss the war powers resolution. Cuba has reported a deadly confrontation off its northern coast, saying its forces killed four people aboard a Florida‑registered speedboat that allegedly opened fire on Cuban border troops. According to Cuba’s Interior Ministry, the vessel was detected roughly one nautical mile northeast of the El Pino canal in Cayo Falcones before the encounter escalated.  When Cuban Border Guard officers approached the boat for identification, those on board reportedly began shooting, injuring the commander of the Cuban patrol vessel.

Canada Joins Global Shift Toward Palestinian Statehood Recognition

 

                                    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks, alongside Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand,  

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will formally recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly this September, joining France and the United Kingdom in a growing international push for a two-state solution amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Carney emphasized that Canada’s recognition is contingent on the Palestinian Authority implementing key reforms, including holding general elections in 2026 and ensuring Hamas plays no role in the future governance of Palestine. He also stated that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has committed to demilitarizing the proposed state.

“Canada will always steadfastly support Israel’s existence as an independent state in the Middle East, living in peace and security,” Carney said. “But any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state”.

The announcement comes amid mounting humanitarian concerns in Gaza, where starvation and displacement have reached catastrophic levels. More than 60,000 Palestinians have died since Israel’s retaliatory campaign began following Hamas’s October 2023 attacks.

Israel has strongly condemned Canada’s decision, calling it a “reward for Hamas” and warning that it undermines efforts to reach a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages still held in Gaza.

Canada’s move reflects a broader shift in Western diplomacy, as global leaders seek new avenues to resolve one of the world’s most intractable conflicts.
