Protesters on Sunday set a Tesla vehicle on fire and smashed windows at a United Nations agency in Geneva as they marched against a Group of Seven summit set to kick off across the border in France, prompting police to fire tear gas.Around 20,000 people gathered for a march that was initially peaceful before some protesters later damaged what they described as symbols of capitalism and multilateralism, including the parked Tesla and the UN agency.Demonstrators grabbed bricks from the ground to throw at police, as tear gas was deployed in Geneva's streets, witnesses told Reuters.UNRWA FIRES 70 GAZA STAFFERS AMID ALLEGATIONS OF HAMAS TIES, SAYS TERMINATIONS NOT ADMISSION OF GUILTThere have been previous protests at G7 gatherings over the years, with many demonstrators using the summits to speak out against capitalism, globalization, climate change and inequality.Demonstrators in the latest protest said they were marching against the G7 as a symbol of concentrated political and economic power.This comes after Tesla owner Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire last week."To me, it's a meeting of the rich that shows once again how the rich can become even richer while the poor are left behind," protestor Pippa Saugy told Reuters.The G7 summit, scheduled to take place from Monday to Wednesday in Évian-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, will feature the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S., as well as the European Union.The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are expected to dominate the agenda. Leaders will likely attempt to avoid a clash with U.S. President Donald Trump after he announced a tentative agreement aimed at ending the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.Businesses in Geneva were boarded up and hundreds of riot police were deployed in the streets over concerns about violence.MIKE WALTZ SAYS GULF ALLIES BACK TRUMP'S IRAN PRESSURE CAMPAIGN AFTER REGIONAL TRIP: 'ZERO DAYLIGHT'"This is an attempt to frighten demonstrators, to frighten people and discourage them from coming out to protest," protester Mattia Piccard told Reuters.Another demonstrator said she wanted to raise the issue of gender inequality during the march against the G7."The values represented by the G7 are completely misogynistic, and they contribute to inequality," Clélia Colin told the outlet.Reuters contributed to this report.

He was 86.Experts say the regime is using the four-month delay since the February strikes to completely reframe the narrative of the conflict."Khamenei goes into the ground as a man America murdered, so the deal becomes a tactical pause — revenge deferred, not abandoned," Mohammed observed. "The deeper logic is that you bury the leader as a victor, not a victim.""They can now stage the funeral as the war's victory monument: the martyred Imam laid to rest as the man whose resistance forced America to terms," Mohammed added."The four-month delay was not only security. It was waiting for a win to bury him."EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI, SUPREME LEADER OF IRANFollowing three days of public ceremonies in Tehran, the procession will move to the… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago
- Israel fears Trump weary of ‘highly suspicious’ Netanyahu and could ‘f...A regional analyst says fears that President Donald Trump could "flip" on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid a critical push for a U.S.-Iran peace agreement are growing in Jerusalem, a concern highlighted Sunday after the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck Beirut for a second time.Despite U.S. warnings that any strikes would derail a breakthrough with Tehran, the strikes came as Netanyahu prepared to convene Israel’s Security Cabinet and after Trump announced a new U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) was expected to be signed imminently."The strikes today in Beirut are creating issues with finalizing the deal," a diplomat involved in the talks with Tehran told Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst, adding that they were "a clear attempt by Israel to sabotage the president’s deal and drag the United States back into war."Trump went on to condemn Israel's strikes in a post on Truth Social, also telling Axios that Netanyahu had "no f---ing judgment."WHY TRUMP KEEPS FLIPPING ON IRAN: A PRESIDENT WHO SEES THE WORLD AS HE WANTS IT TO BENatan Sachs, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, noted there was "absolutely this fear in the Israeli government," calling it "a rational and healthy fear" over the pending deal.He said a strategic chasm existed between the two allies, contrasting Netanyahu's doctrine of sustained, long-term military pressure with Trump's pursuit of immediate diplomatic victories."Now there is a sense in Israel that Trump may be growing weary of Netanyahu and the Israelis, and many others believe that if he got sick and tired of him, he could break norms in other directions and flip on Israel," Sachs, an Israeli foreign policy expert, told Fox News Digital.With discussions underway through Pakistani mediation, the Israeli prime minister's office released a statement shortly after Trump announced the possible deal with Tehran on June 11.Jerusalem "is not a party to the memorandum of understanding" between Washington and Tehran, Netanyahu said before reiterating on June 12 that Iran was "working to destroy the Jewish state." He assured Israelis he had dedicated his life to "preventing them from doing so."On Sunday, a senior Israeli official also said Hezbollah attacks had targeted Israeli civilians for the previous three days as Israel prepared for Iranian retaliation.NETANYAHU DECLARES ISRAEL 'WILL EXACT THE FULL PRICE' AFTER IRANIAN STRIKE HITS HOSPITAL IN ISRAELTrump had already criticized Netanyahu during a phone call earlier this month, reportedly calling him "crazy" over a first… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago
