Secretary of State Marco Rubio told US senators Saturday that the sweeping peace plan to end the nearly four-year war between Russia and Ukraine was not America’s — but merely a “leaked” Russian “wish list,” according to reports. Rubio told a bipartisan delegation at the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada Saturday afternoon that the 28-point blueprint supposedly crafted to end the war is actually a Russian proposal, not a US initiative, according to South Dakota GOP Sen. Mike Rounds. “He made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one…

At Go Get ‘Em, Tiger, the coffee shop in my Los Angeles neighborhood, everyone looks a little stooped, as if the air itself were heavy. The name alone vibrates with ambition: Go get ’em, tiger. The command is baked right into the signage. Every time you step inside, you are already being told to strive, to push, to chase. Inside, people stand in line gazing into pastry cases while their shoulders slump beneath invisible weight. They clutch cortados like communion, jittery and devout, each haloed by the glow of a laptop. There is a familiar hum rising from the tables:…

The US-brokered Gaza cease-fire is teetering on the brink of collapse, with Hamas threatening to walk away from the deal — as the terror group traded barbs with Israel Saturday over who was first to violate the fragile truce. Hamas representatives warned US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that the Gaza cease-fire is “over” and they are “ready to fight,” sources told Saudi state-owned media Al Arabiya. The terror group threatened that Gaza “will not become another Lebanon,” referring to what the group sees as a prolonged one-sided cease-fire there. The peace deal between Hamas and Israel, initiated by…

BALTIMORE — Jets defensive tackle Harrison Phillips could barely walk after last week’s loss to the Patriots. Phillips was dealing with a foot injury, the severity of which he can’t reveal, but it is serious enough that he was in a walking boot before and after the game. Somehow, Phillips managed to play 41 snaps against the Patriots and play well. “I’ve played through a lot of things in my career,” Phillips said. “Last week I was going into that game with a lot of pain, maybe top three or four games that I was walking into with a lot…

After the scandal-scarred Miss Universe pageant wrapped Friday, a fuming Miss Israel demanded they strip Miss Palestine of her top 30 status — following The Post’s bombshell report outing her marriage to a convicted terrorist’s son. The false eyelashes hit the fan ever since the news broke that the first-ever “Miss Palestine” contestant in the Miss Universe pageant, Nadeen Ayoub, married the son of jailed notorious Fatah terrorist, Marwan Barghouti, and even named a child after him. “Miss Universe should not condone fraud, violations of its code of conduct and especially terror. I expect them to take corrective action,” Miss Israel,…

The Ukrainian military shared dramatic video of a military strike appearing to decimate Russian air-defense and military assets. The elite “Ghosts” unit carried out several successful attacks targeting key components of the Russia defenses in the contested Crimea region, the Kyiv Post reported. A compilation of apparent radar videos of the bombings was shared to the official Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine‘s HUR Telegram account on Friday set to the score of a cover of Justin Timberlake song “Cry Me a River” — in an apparent pun on the location of the attack. The “Ghosts” unit allegedly destroyed a Ka-27…

The team diving in Lake Ontario stumbled upon a completely intact shipwreck — with its masts still standing — that could date back to the early 1800s, giving them insight into an era of Great Lakes shipbuilding history now faded with time. The unidentified ship, discovered 100 meters below the surface of the massive lake by Trent University archaeologist James Conolly, was first noticed as a “large anomaly” in 2017 during a fibre-optic cable survey on the bottom, according to the CBC. “It took us a few moments to calm ourselves down because it’s overwhelming finding a pristine wreck that is…

She’s Mary Locked-ins. Ghislaine Maxwell was snapped going for a casual stroll while carrying an umbrella on a sunny day at the cushy Federal Prison Camp Bryan — just days after Congress voted to release the Epstein files. Video released Saturday showed Jeffrey Epstein’s madam wearing a pair of blue athletic shorts and a matching blue t-shirt, walking freely in the park-esque Texas prison which had temps in the high 70s this past week.
