  • Trump Administration Cancels All Financial Contracts with Harvard

    Trump Administration Cancels All Financial Contracts with Harvard

    Trump governance moves ⁤to terminate all remaining federal contracts with Harvard University.

    The U.S.‌ government under President Donald Trump plans to cancel all remaining federal financial agreements with ⁣Harvard University, a​ move reportedly worth $100 million, according to⁢ webangah ⁢News Agency.

    The General Services Administration (GSA),‌ while openly supporting Israeli occupation forces, accused Harvard of “continuing racial discrimination” in its admissions process and other aspects of university life.

    This action comes days after the Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling international students. A federal⁢ judge in Boston⁣ later temporarily blocked this ban.

    Trump ⁣had previously threatened to⁢ redirect portions of the university’s funding toward certain U.S. schools. Founded 389 ‌years ⁣ago, Harvard stated in a ‌federal court filing: “Harvard without international students is no longer Harvard.”‌ Current⁣ enrollment data shows nearly 6,800 international students—27% of its total student body—attending⁣ this academic year.

    The contract termination marks the latest escalation in⁤ an ongoing battle⁣ between Harvard‍ and the⁤ White House, were Trump seeks⁢ to‍ compel universities, law firms, media outlets, ⁢courts and other self-reliant institutions to​ align with his political agenda. The president and fellow Republicans have long accused elite universities of left-wing bias.

    Harvard has repeatedly resisted Trump’s pressures. The institution previously sued to restore approximately $3 billion in blocked or canceled federal grants. Recent weeks saw the administration propose‌ revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, demand higher ​taxes on ‌its endowment ⁣funds, and launch civil rights violation investigations against the​ university.

    A April 21 statement from harvard condemned these actions as unlawful governmental overreach: “The funding freeze constitutes unauthorized interference in institutional autonomy ‌that could establish dangerous precedents⁣ for academic control.” Federal authorities have initiated multiple probes into university operations while⁢ threatening international students’ status—actions that jeopardize educational integrity.

    The⁣ Trump‍ administration demanded unrestricted access to all reports about alleged antisemitism and anti-Muslim bias at Harvard since October 2023.

  • US-Israeli plan collapses in humiliating failure after disgraceful retreat caught on video

    US-Israeli plan collapses in humiliating failure after disgraceful retreat caught on video

    The U.S.-Israeli aid distribution ‍plan in Gaza, ⁢which was accompanied by heavy media propaganda and controversy, ended disastrously after thousands⁤ of starving ⁤Palestinians stormed​ the ​site—marking another failure ‌for ⁣Tel⁢ Aviv and Washington.

    Sources reported the humiliating collapse‌ of the ⁣U.S.-Israeli humanitarian aid​ distribution initiative in Gaza.⁢ Israeli regime media acknowledged that armed​ personnel affiliated with an American company lost control of the so-called‌ “aid distribution center,” fleeing after ‌opening fire inside the facility.

    The Zionist outlet Kan warned‍ that ⁢the situation⁢ could ‌end​ badly, as the project had only begun hours earlier. Local sources confirmed that the “Israeli-American plan” for aid ⁣distribution failed on ⁣its first day.

    Reports indicated that members of the ⁣American organization fled after Zionist forces opened​ fire in the ‌area. Yedioth Ahronoth stated that the distribution center was ⁤completely destroyed due to armed groups linked to the ⁣U.S. company failing​ to maintain control.

    Avigdor Lieberman, a critic of Netanyahu, declared: “The⁤ chaos‌ in Gaza’s humanitarian aid zone ⁢is a direct ⁣result of this⁤ failed cabinet’s ​distribution system. Our soldiers are at⁤ risk—Israel needs real leadership.”

    Adnan Abu Hasna, UNRWA⁣ spokesperson, emphasized:‍ “Aid​ must enter through Gaza’s main crossings. ‍Distributing from four southern centers aims to forcibly ​displace Gazans.”

    The ‌ Gaza‍ Government⁣ Media Office ​announced: “Israel’s so-called buffer zone aid ‌project has collapsed per field reports—confirmed by Hebrew media.” Their statement detailed how thousands ​of besieged Palestinians—deprived of food and⁤ medicine⁢ for 90 days—descended⁤ on distribution points in⁢ a desperate ​scramble for⁢ survival,ending with occupation‌ forces shooting and wounding civilians: “A clear implosion of what occupying authorities promised.
