Senior Republican senators have publicly questioned US President
Donald Trump's decision to appoint Bill Pulte — a political ally with no
intelligence background — as acting Director of National Intelligence,
with Senate Majority Leader John Thune warning the White House that
Pulte faces a lengthy confirmation battle.
Pulte, who currently heads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, would oversee eighteen spy agencies including the CIA and the National Security Agency, at a time when the United States remains at war with Iran.
Democrats and Republicans alike have raised concerns about Pulte's lack of national security experience.

FIGHTING CONTINUES IN LEBANON AS NETANYAHU VOWS TO KEEP STRIKING DESPITE TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE CLAIM
Fighting continued in Lebanon on Tuesday despite US President Donald Trump's claim that he brokered a halt to hostilities — with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to keep striking southern Lebanon and Israel's Defence Minister denying any ceasefire is in place.
Israel-Lebanon talks are scheduled for Washington later this week, but the ongoing clashes raise questions about whether diplomacy can gain traction.
Both leaders face elections in their countries, and the war is shaping their political calculations in very different ways.

STARMER'S WHATSAPP MESSAGES SET TO DISAPPEAR AS MANDELSON FILES DEEPEN LEADERSHIP CRISIS
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's official spokesperson has confirmed the prime minister's WhatsApp messages are set to automatically disappear — a revelation that emerged after a cabinet meeting on the same day as the release of around a thousand pages of documents related to the appointment and dismissal of Peter Mandelson as British ambassador to Washington.
The documents, which cost more than one million pounds (approximately 1.3 million dollars) to assemble, contain messages from cabinet ministers expressing doubt about Sir Keir Starmer's leadership.
The opposition Conservatives say they are surprised by how little of the prime minister's own communications feature in the release, and have accused the government of a cover-up.

DEADLY PROTESTS IN KENYA OVER PLANNED US EBOLA QUARANTINE FACILITY AS DRC OUTBREAK SPREADS
Civil society groups in Kenya say two people were shot dead on Monday during protests against a plan to open an American Ebola quarantine facility at a military airbase in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki.
Kenya has recorded no Ebola cases, and protesters say the facility — intended to treat US citizens exposed to the virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo — would endanger local lives.
Kenyan President William Ruto has defended the decision, saying the United States is a long-standing partner, but a high court has ordered the plan halted pending a hearing.
