Israel has launched a new ground offensive into Gaza City and warned residents to leave and head south.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the ground offensive began Tuesday as troops looked to tighten control over the Palestinian territorys largest city.The Gaza City push is a direct continuation of Operation Gideons Chariots, a weekslong campaign in southern and central Gaza that Israel said dismantled Hamas positions and cleared the way for troops to advance north. The IDF said multiple divisions have begun advancing under an "expanded ground operation" designed to dismantle Hamas infrastructure, consolidate earlier gains and push deeper into the city.ISRAEL WARNS OF IMMINENT ATTACK ON GAZA CITY, URGES RESIDENTS TO FLEEThe latest assault follows a week in which the Israeli air force struck more than 850 targets in Gaza City, killing what it described as hundreds of Hamas fighters and destroying infrastructure meant to blunt a ground incursion. The strikes, it said, were meant to degrade Hamass defenses and prepare the battlefield for advancing troops.An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity under military guidelines, told The Associated Press that about 2,000 to 3,000 Hamas militants remain in Gaza City, along with a network of tunnels.The offensive marks yet another escalation in a conflict that has roiled the Middle East as any potential ceasefire feels increasingly out of reach despite months of diplomacy.ISRAEL SET TO LAUNCH GAZA CITY OFFENSIVE: HIGH STAKES, HIGH COSTS AHEADPalestinian residents reported heavy strikes across Gaza City on Tuesday morning. By noon, Shifa Hospital had received the bodies of 34 people killed in the strikes, hospital official Dr. Rami Mhanna told The Associated Press. Dozens more wounded also arrived at the facility."A very tough night in Gaza," Dr. Mohamed Abu Selmiyah, Shifas director, told the AP. "The bombing did not stop for a single moment."Avichay Adraee, the Arabic-language spokesman for the Israeli military, warned residents that Gaza City is now a "dangerous combat zone.""For your safety, evacuate as quickly as possible to the published safe areas, by vehicle or on foot, via the Al-Rashid corridor south of Wadi Gaza," Adraee said. "Join the over 40% of the citys residents who have already evacuated to protect their own safety and that of their loved ones."The IDF estimates 350,000 people have fled Gaza City roughly one-third of the citys population before the ground offensive began. That figure contradicts a U.N. estimate issued Monday that more than 220,000 Palestinians have fled northern Gaza over the past month, following Israeli warnings to evacuate ahead of the operation.Long lines of traffic stretched down Gazas coastal road Tuesday, with vehicles piled high with mattresses and belongings while others fled on foot.The IDF said several of its frontline divisions have been mobilized for the new phase."In the past day, IDF troops in the Southern Command from the 98th, 162nd, and 36th Divisions, both in mandatory and reserve service, have begun expanded ground operations in Gaza City as part of Operation Gideons Chariots II," the military said."The Gaza Division is operating in the security zone along the border facing the western Negev communities and operating in the Rafah and Khan Yunis areas, while the 99th Division is operating in the northern Gaza Strip."Meanwhile, the State Department said Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Doha with Qatari Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.Rubio reaffirmed U.S.Qatar ties, thanked Doha for efforts to end the war in Gaza and bring all hostages home. Rubio also reiterated Americas support for Qatars security and sovereignty.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jay Leno shared that his wife, Mavis, who is battling advanced dementia, has "still got the fire" that defined her long before her diagnosis.The 75-year-old former late-night host has been married to the 79-year-old women's rights activist and philanthropist since 1980, and the couple never had children. During a new interview with People magazine, Leno opened up about embracing his role as her sole caregiver."My wife's got some problems, so it's just her and I. But it's always been her and I for the last 45 years anyway, so it's fine. I enjoy taking care of her. It's fun," he said."I mean, I do enjoy it," Leno continued. "People think, Oh, it must be horrible. No, because she's not in any pain. She's not suffering."JAY LENO GRANTED CONSERVATORSHIP OVER WIFE MAVIS DUE TO HER DEMENTIA DIAGNOSIS"It's not like a tumor or cancer," he added. "It's just a confusion that comes with Alzheimer's and dementia. And that's OK."In January 2024, Leno filed for conservatorship over Mavis' estate. At the time, Leno stated that Mavis "lacks the necessary capacity to execute the estate plan" due to her "major neurocognitive disorders (including dementia)," according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.He described his "loving marriage for more than 43 years" with his wife, but noted that he "has always handled the couple's finances," and he wanted to ensure that "Mavis has managed assets sufficient to provide for her care should Jay predecease Mavis."A Los Angeles judge granted Leno's petition in April 2024 while praising the comedian's devotion and commitment to his wife's well-being."I think shes in the least restrictive environment. I think shes in very good care with Mr. Leno," the judge said during the hearing, according to People magazine."Everything youre doing is right," the judge told Leno. "I totally understand this is a difficult period."During his recent interview with People, Leno said he finds taking care of Mavis to be rewarding."I enjoy being her rock," he said. "It makes you feel wanted. You got a purpose now. So it's good."While speaking with the outlet, Leno recounted the "funny story" of how Mavis took issue with a line of dialogue while they were recently watching an old episode of "Hawaii Five-O" from the 1960s."We watched the episode where Stanley Holloway plays a genetic scientist who gets kidnapped," Leno recalled. "So McGarrett goes to see his daughter, who's like 40. And he says, What kind of genetic engineering does your husband do?! And she says, Well, I'm just a woman. I don't understand such things.""My wife was real involved with women's issues," he said, recalling that Mavis started making growling noises when she heard the line."She's just yelling at the TV. She still got the fire," Leno said. "It just made me laugh.""Just screaming at McGarrett But it just made me laugh," he added.Though Leno has continued touring as a stand-up comedian following Mavis' dementia diagnosis, he told People that he makes it a priority to be home every night."I come home every day. I went to Puerto Rico for the day and [the] plane waited and I came right back," he said. "That's what I do. I try to be home every night. So that's kind of what I do."While appearing on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger" in April, Leno reflected on what he's learned about himself after assuming the role of Mavis' caretaker.The Emmy Award winner shared that he's "never been particularly challenged."JAY LENO TRIES TO FIND THE HUMOR DURING WIFE'S DEMENTIA BATTLE"I was not in the Army. I didn't have to shoot anybody," Leno said. "I didn't have to risk my life when I got married. You sort of take a vow and, Will I live up to this? Or will I be like a sleazy guy if something happens to my wife, I'm out banging the cashier at the mini-mart?' No, I didn't."He added, "I enjoy the time with my wife. I go home, I cook dinner for her, watch TV, and it's OK. It's OK. It's basically what we did before, except now I have to feed her and do all those things. But, I like it.""I like taking care of her. I think somewhere in my life, uh, she's a very independent woman, so I like that. I'm needed, you know, and I need to be there."When asked what he has found to be the most challenging part of caregiving, Leno said, "That's the challenge, isn't it? When you have to feed someone and change them and carry them to the bathroom and do all that kind of stuff every day.""It's a challenge. And it's not that I enjoy doing it, but I I guess I enjoy doing it. It's OK," he continued."I'm not just, This person is attractive and sexy and having sex with them and everything," he added. "At some point in my life, I'm gonna be called upon to defend myself I think that's really what defines a marriage. I mean, that's really what love is. That's what you do."I mean, I'm glad I didn't cut and run. I'm glad I didn't run off with some woman half my age or any of that silly nonsense. I would rather be with her than doing something else."Leno and Mavis first met at the stand-up comedy club The Comedy Store in Los Angeles in the 1970s. During an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 2014, Mavis shared how she was instantly attracted to her future spouse."It was in January I don't remember the day. But at the time I thought, 'Holy s---! That comedian is gorgeous!'" she remembered of seeing Leno. "I had gone to the Comedy Store with my girlfriend because I was writing comedy with some partners. Friends kept saying, 'You have to hang out at the Comedy Store and the Improv. You'll meet people who can give you jobs.' The first time I went, they sat us front row center that means you're this far from the comic. And there was Jay."In a 1987 interview with People, Mavis explained that she never thought that she would get married prior to meeting Leno."It was a big thing with me, part of my vehement feminism," she said. "But with Jay, I began to realize that this was the first time I was ever with someone where I had a perfect, calm sense of having arrived at my destination."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSDuring his April interview with Bensinger, Leno recalled that he was drawn to Mavis' spirit and independence and admired her for qualities that he wished he could emulate."I always tell people, Marry the person you wish you could be," he said."And that's why, if I married another self-centered person who was funny, one of us would die," Leno joked. "My wife does a lot of charity work and things like that, and it worked out great. I married the person that had the ideals I wish I had.""She was a voracious reader and a feminist and all those things fighting for women's rights, and I always liked that," Leno said. "I was drawn to women that want to do good. When I was single, it was teachers, nurses, and people [who] were in it for not necessarily self-gain."Leno also reflected on why he and Mavis never had children."If she wanted children, we would have had [them]," he told Bensinger. "It wasn't a big deal to me. If she didn't want kids, fine, you know. I mean, the nice thing is we could travel as a couple.""Because as a comedian, if we had a kid, she'd be home and I'd be on the road." Leno added. "I mean that would be what it is."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERIn May 2024, Leno and Mavis attended the Feminist Majority Foundations 16th Annual Global Womens Rights Awards Gala to present the Mavis Leno Award for Global Womens Rights. Mavis worked with the FMF for decades and chaired the nonprofit's Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan from 1997 to 2019. In an interview with Fox News Digital ahead of the event, Leno said their life together is better than ever."All of that," Leno said when asked if his faith and family have helped pull the couple together recently. "Exactly. It's the whole thing. We've been married 44 years. It gets easier. It doesn't get harder."While presenting the award, Leno shared an emotional tribute to Mavis after they took the stage together. The "Jay Leno's Garage" host choked back tears as he recalled the first time he saw his wife, describing marrying Mavis as "the smartest thing I've ever done.""I had to smile when I saw that young college girl come out, which reminded me of a young girl I met," Leno said, referring to a young woman who had given a speech before him."She had the same fire," he recalled of Mavis. "A couple weeks later, I told a story of picking up the front page of a paper with a picture of her [Mavis]. [I thought] this is going to be a fascinating relationship, and it has been.""We have a lot of fun," Leno added as he hugged and kissed Mavis' head. "People say marriage is difficult. I don't get it. I enjoy her company. I enjoy taking care of her. We have fun. She's the most independent woman I ever knew. Again, I just couldn't be prouder of her."Leno continued, "I am part of her legacy and that's what I'm proudest of."

An X account belonging to a conservative activist with over 1 million followers has been posting numerous examples of individuals celebrating or downplaying the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, racking up several firings along the way."For years, the left tried to destroy people for simply having conservative values," Students for Trump National Chair Ryan Fournier told Fox News Digital. "They ruined careers, families, livelihoods. But now, we are fighting back."Since Kirks death, Fournier has been using his account with 1.2 million followers to post examples of individuals celebrating or mocking the assassination on social media and asking his followers to email examples to tips@ryanfournier.com.Fournier told Fox News Digital that he has received 51,000 tips, 300 million views on his platforms, 15 million engagements, his Facebook has surpassed 1 million followers, and at least 76 people have been fired over their posts.TOP UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR CALLS CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION 'FAIR' DUE TO STANCE ON GUNS: 'NO PRAYERS'"The American people are awake," Fournier said. "And we are not stopping."On Saturday, Fournierposted on X about Apple employee Cody Ikerds social media post saying,"Imagine having died such a horrible person that someone sharing your lifes work is considered insensitive."Fournier also posted Apples press contact emails and, days later, told his 1.2 million followers that Ikerd had been fired.Chance Williams, an employee at Old Navy who used "she/they/enby/transfem" pronouns on social media, responded to Kirks death by commenting, "Rest in piss, scum.""UPDATE: @OldNavy has confirmed Chance Williams (she/they/enby/transfem) has been fired," Fournierposted on X after exposing the employees comment."Time to change the pronouns to was/were!"Fourniers effort hasnt just implicated national brands but has reached into local markets as well, including a post on X about an instructor at a fitness studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, who allegedly mocked Kirk on social media following his assassination.NJ DOCTOR RESIGNS AFTER NURSE SAID HE 'CHEERED' CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH"UPDATE: @KarmaScottsdale has fired Jordyn Robinson," Fournierposted on X after his initial post.Educators have also found themselves being called out by Fournier, including an ELD interventionist in Arkansas who was reportedly fired after Fournierposted on X that she had called Kirks death "divine justice."Politicians have not been immune to Fourniers effort either, as evidenced by the conservative activist's post calling out Palmetto Bay, Florida, council member Steve Cody, who allegedly posted online, "Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names."Cody is now facing calls to resign, including from two fellow lawmakers who provided statements to Fox News Digital."Political violence has no place in America. Councilman Steve Codys disturbing despicable statements are entirely unbecoming of an elected official & he must resign immediately," GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez said."In America we have the right to freedom of speech, Steve Cody wont be arrested for what he said but he certainly has the right to lose his job for it!"Florida state Rep. Omar Blanco, whorepresents Palmetto Bay, told Fox News Digital, "Hate speech and mocking violence have no home in Palmetto Bay. For the good of our community, Councilman Steve Cody must resign."Fourniers push to shine a light on employees who have appeared to condone political violence, which has been echoed by several top conservative influencer accounts, including LibsofTikTok, Robby Starbuck and Corey A. DeAngelis, has faced pushback from many on the left claiming it impedes free speech that conservatives often champion."This is not cancel culture," Fournier told Fox News Digital. "This is consequence culture. This is not an attack on the First Amendment. You want to praise an assassination? Fine. But dont cry when your boss, your school board, or your community finds out what kind of sick, soulless person you really are."

British police have readied the skies in a major policing initiative ahead of President Donald Trumps visit on Wednesday by employing a fleet of drones and other "comprehensive" security measures around Windsor Castle.The Thames Valley Police force is leading the charge with one of its largest ever deployments of drones and sky closures starting on Tuesday, one day before the unprecedented second state visit with King Charles III."There will be policing drone tactics that the public will see, as well as policing drone tactics that the public wont see," Inspector Matthew Wilkinson said in a statement ahead of the event. "These are all in place to keep everyone safe."UK AMBASSADOR TO US FIRED OVER EPSTEIN TIESThe Thames Valley Police would not answer Fox News Digital's questions regarding how this policing event compares to other major visits in the past due to "operational reasons," though local reporting said efforts being taken for the Wednesday visit haven't been seen since the King's 2023 coronation.The multi-force security front will have "resources everywhere across the town, including in the air, on land and on the waterways in order to keep everyone safe," said the Thames Valley Police.The security precautions, first launched on Tuesday for the rehearsal of the state visit, will run through Thursday, though Trump is not expected to leave the U.K. until Friday.The Thames Valley Police extended their airspace restrictions late last week to Chequers, the prime ministers official country residence in Buckinghamshire, which is some 27 miles north of Windsor, through Thursday evening as well.Trump is expected to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday."These restrictions apply to all aircraft, including drones, and are designed to support the safe delivery of the visit while minimizing disruption to the local community," the police force said in a statement.KING CHARLES PLANNING ROYAL SPECTACLE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, WITH CARRIAGE RIDES AND STAR-STUDDED GUEST LISTThames Valley Police officials confirmed on Monday that its Firearms Unit had been "deployed to Windsor as part of the forces comprehensive security operation."A Specialist Search Unit was also deployed to the area over the weekend in what the police force said was standard procedure ahead of any major event."We will be searching everywhere to make sure everything is secure, before the event begins," Police Search Advisor, Sergeant Amber Timmis, said in a statement, noting the force often works "behind the scenes" to keep areas secure."These searches are routine, but they are also important, and we appreciate everyones patience as we carry out our security operation," he added.A unit of officers mounted on horseback will also be patrolling the area throughout the 3-day security event.Though all the measures being taken are reportedly routine, they come as political violence is at the forefront of U.S. security concerns following a series of attacks, including the fatal shooting of conservative commentator and co-founder of Turning Point USA,Charlie Kirk, 31,in Utah less than a week ago.His death was the latest in a string of violent attacks targeting political figures over the last year after two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were targeted in June, including state Representative Melissa Hortmanand her husband Mark, who were shot and killed.Their murder followed an April arson attack on Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, whose residence was hit with Molotov cocktails while he and his family slept.Trump was also the victim of two assassination attempts while on the campaign trail last year, including one shooting incident in which his ear was injured by a bullet.While gun violence in the U.K. is significantly lower than in the U.S., the heightened security measures are "standard" for any "high-profile visits and are designed to protect everyone involved, including members of the public," said Wilkinson.

Erika Kirk posted a video on Monday of her late husband, Turning Point USA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk, telling their daughter the story of how they met.Sitting in a place he calls Bills Burgers presumably Bills Bar & Burger with his toddler daughter on his lap, Kirk begins telling their story."Story time: Were at Bills Burgers in New York City, and right near this very table was the first time Dada met Mama," Kirk begins."And it started as a job interview. I was asking all these questions, asking all these questions: philosophy, religion, Jesus, and then I realized Mama was beautiful and smart and elegant and Christ-like, and so I said forget this job interview, I want to date you. I said, I have enough friends, and thats where your journey started."ERIKA KIRK'S FIRST SPEECH SINCE HUSBAND'S ASSASSINATION SPARKS MASSIVE TPUSA CHAPTER SURGE NATIONWIDEErika captioned the video, which garnered nearly 2.5 million likes in approximately 10 hours, "my favorite love story."Public figures, including Brittany Aldean, Allie Beth Stuckey and Terrance K. Williams, commented with support.Charlie and Erika met at the restaurant in 2018. The TPUSA founder had previously told the story at an event, saying the two shared a "very long dinner" and that he knew "almost immediately" that Erika was the one for him.On Sept. 5, 2023, Erika posted a selfie of the couple, marking five years since they met. She wrote, "5 years ago today, we sat inside Bill's Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy, and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, I'm going to date you."WHO IS ERIKA KIRK?: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LATE CHARLIE KIRK'S WIDOW FROM THEIR LOVE STORY TO HIS LEGACYCharlie proposed to Erika in December 2020. She captioned photos of the engagement on Instagram, "When God writes your love story, you get to marry your best friend." The two married less than a year later in May 2021.On Friday, two days after her husband was murdered, Erika spoke publicly about the assassination and Charlies legacy. She said the movement he built would go on, including the previously planned campus tours and America Fest 2025."Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see the face of his [S]avior and his God," she said through tears. "And one of the final conversations that he had on this earth, my husband witnessed for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now and for all eternity he will stand at his Savior's side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr."She added that Charlie's favorite Bible verse was Ephesians 5:25, which says: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."

An Illinois television anchor resigned Monday after being suspended for airing what she called a "non-partisan tribute" to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination."My resignation is guided by values that are essential to who I am, which I refuse to set aside in order to keep a job. I choose my faith and love of country, and always will," Beni Rae Harmony wrote on X.Harmony was an anchor for WICS Newschannel 20, an ABC affiliate in Springfield, Ill.Harmony shared video of her on-air tribute to Kirk, telling viewers it was okay to feel sadness and grieve. She became emotional and noted that Kirk was her first boss. Her LinkedIn profile shows she worked at Turning Point USA from 2021 to 2022."There's a lot going on in our world right now, and our country, but I want to say one thing. Lean on your neighbors, speak up for what you believe in, I don't care what it is," she said in the video.WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST FIRED OVER SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION"I want to share with you one of my favorite sayings that Charlie would always tell us at the office, he would yell it from the mountaintops, so please listen. 'When conversations stop happening, when individuals become wordless, thats when violence begins,'" Harmony added in her tribute.It's unclear if she ignored a directive by the station ahead of time not to give the tribute, or if the speech was a surprise.Harmony said in her post to X, "Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air."Fox News Digital reached out for comment to WICS, which is operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group. An individual at the station also told Fox they couldn't comment on the story when reached by phone.Kirk was assassinated last Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah.While his killing has sparked grief and outrage across the country, some of Kirk's foes have criticized the tributes. There have also been numerous examples of figures online celebrating his death and facing firings or other reprimands as a result.The legacy media has criticized the firings as a "cancel culture" campaign from the right targeting free speech.PROFESSOR SLAMMED FOR 'DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR' WITH CONTROVERSIAL REPOSTS ON CHARLIE KIRKMatthew Dowd, a former MSNBC political analyst, was fired from the network over remarks he made after Kirk was shot but before it was clear the conservative activist had died.Dowd suggested the shooting was caused by a chain reaction from his "hateful words" against various groups. He later claimed he didn't know yet that Kirk had been shot and criticized MSNBC for firing him.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

Forrest Frank has lost nearly 30,000 of his millions of Instagram followers since sharing his views on Charlie Kirk's assassination, but the Christian singer isn't bothered by it.Last week, Frank took to Instagram and shared a video of Kirk speaking about him and praising him for creating Christian music. Frank became emotional in the video and started to cry while explaining that he didn't feel comfortable continuing on and posting his music without first addressing the conservative activist's assassination.Frank's video garnered over 1 million likes and nearly 20,000 comments before he shared another video on Sept. 14 to say that he lost tens of thousands of followers for speaking out about the tragic events that took place at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.CHARLIE KIRK'S LAST 24 HOURS BEFORE HIS UTAH ASSASSINATION: MESSAGES OF FAITH, JUSTICE"30,000 people unfollowed me because I posted about Charlie Kirk and I said Jesus Christ is Lord. Good. I don't want you to follow me," Frank stated at the beginning of his video.Frank went on to say that he didn't want people following him, streaming his music or coming to his shows if they didn't follow Jesus."I don't know if you can feel it too. There's a heaviness, something shifted and I don't care. I just want you to know that Jesus Christ is here and he loves you," Frank said.Frank elaborated further in the caption of his video, which read, "i dont care if you follow me, but i do care if you follow Jesus. i have nothing else to share but this one message and i repent for ways ive allowed my platform to be a lukewarm highlight real.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm and obstruction of justice charges, according to a court affidavit.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could meet next week on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City.The meeting comes as NATO is seeing increasing pressure to more aggressively counter Russia by enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine as Poland looks to prevent more Russian drones from entering its airspace."PresidentTrump[has had] multiple calls with Putin, multiple meetings withZelenskyy, including probably next week again in New York," Rubio told reporters from Israel moments before he departed for Qatar. "He's trying to do everything possible to bring [the war] to an end."TRUMP SAYS HE'S RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WITH PUTIN 'FAST' OVER UKRAINE CONFLICT NEGOTIATIONS"We've been working closely with our partners in Europe on security guarantees, because that's going to be necessary in any negotiated settlement," he added. "And he's going to keep trying. If peace is possible, he wants to achieve it."Polands foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, on Monday called on NATO allies to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to better protect not only Ukrainians from Russias constant aerial bombardments, but neighboring NATO allies that share borders with the war-torn nation. "We as NATO and the EU could be capable of doing this, but it is not a decision that Poland can make alone," Sikorski told German newspaperFrankfurter Allgemeine. "It can only be made with its allies."The move is unlikely to be approved by NATO, which has previously refused to enforce a no-fly zone after the U.S., under President Joe Biden, turned down the request first made by Zelenskyy in 2022.TRUMP DEMANDS NATO ALLIES HALT RUSSIAN OIL PURCHASES BEFORE NEW US SANCTIONS"If Ukraine were to ask us to shoot them down over its territory, that would be advantageous for us. If you ask me personally, we should consider it," Sikorski said.Russian officials have already made clear they would view NATO strikes against Russian drones and missiles in aid of Ukraine as direct involvement in the war."The implementation of the provocative idea of Kyiv and other idiots about creating a no-fly zone over Ukraine and the ability for NATO countries to shoot down our UAVs will mean only one thing a war between NATO and Russia," Deputy Chairman of Russias Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in a Telegram post on Monday.Trump has seen increasing pressure at home and from Western allies, including Ukraine, to take a tougher stance when it comes to countering Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump has threatened on numerous occasions to hit Moscow with sanctions, though he has yet to employ the financial tool since re-entering office despite a series of deadlines he issued on Putin having come and gone.Rubio said Trump may conclude at some point that a peace deal with Putin is not possible, but told reporters on Tuesday that "he's not there yet.""The only leader in the world that can talk to both the Ukrainians, Europeans, and also to the Russians is President Trump," Rubio said. "He's not going to easily forfeit that role."If somehow he were to disengage from this, or you know, sanction Russia and say I'm done, then there's no one left in the world that could possibly mediate the end," Rubio added. "Now maybe we get to that point we hope not, because it's a really bad war and he wants it to end."
