We can hope that our relations with the United States will become a little warmer," Russian lawmaker Alexander Tolmachev said.

Following Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory, a key ally of Vladimir Putin expressed the Kremlin's cautious optimism over the result, describing Trump as potentially "useful" to Russian interests.

Kremlin officials, including Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, spoke out Wednesday about the potential benefits in a second Trump presidency, specifically as it relates to U.S. support for Ukraine's defense efforts, Reuters reported.

"Trump has one quality that is useful to us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and freeloaders," Medvedev wrote on Telegram, as translated by Google. "The question is how much they will force Trump to give for the war."

With former President Donald Trump set to reprise his role as the commander in chief of the world's most powerful military and largest economy — and with him wasting no time in claiming victory in the U.S. presidential election — leaders around the world started reacting Wednesday to the reality of a second term in the White House for the businessman-turned politician.

From enthusiasm voiced by Israel's leader as he wages an expanding, multi-front war to anxiety from some of America's closest, generations-old European allies, the reaction to Trump's election performance started rolling in long before the final votes were counted across the U.S.

Below is a look at how some foreign leaders and others around the world have taken the news of the American electorate's apparent rebuke of Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party at the polls.

TEL AVIV—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, at a time when the country continues to fight wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and is increasingly in direct confrontation with Iran.

The move on Tuesday came after months of public disagreement between the two over the course of the war. Netanyahu said he was firing Gallant due to a breakdown in trust and gaps in positions between them.

Gallant has publicly challenged Netanyahu’s failure to decide on a plan for Gaza’s long-term governance and for not prioritizing a deal to release Israeli and other hostages held in Gaza.

While Vladimir Putin’s army has reclaimed some areas in Russia’s Kursk region that were previously taken by Ukrainian forces, soldiers are also taking the opportunity to loot from local residents.

The Russian president sent 50,000 troops to the region after Ukraine made a surprise breakthrough along the border last summer, and Kyiv still controls part of the area.

In a shocking display of lawlessness, Russian troops embarked on a widespread looting spree in Kursk, stealing vehicles and vandalizing homes. Approximately 50,000 soldiers have been deployed to the Ukraine border region in an effort to reclaim lost territory.

However, the redeployment has seemingly been exploited by the troops to enrich themselves at the expense of local residents. Upon returning to their village, Korenevo residents discovered their properties had been broken into and ravaged by Putin's marauding soldiers.

Despite Ukrainian forces - who President Zelensky says have a 'victory plan' - nearing the village, they did not enter or capture it. Instead, Russian forces took up defensive positions and evacuated most of the locals.
Hackers left a chilling message on the Kremlin's Yunarmiya (Young Army) website, urging Russians to "kill" Vladimir Putin on what is being called a "humiliating" breach of security

Hackers have left a chilling message on the Kremlin's Yunarmiya (Young Army) website, urging Russians to "kill" Vladimir Putin. The 1.6 million-member organisation, often likened to the Hitler Youth movement, is utilised by the Kremlin to indoctrinate and militarise Russian children.

A split image posted on the site targets the Russian dictator and his brutal war in Ukraine. One half of the image features a Russian Lada car, with accompanying text that reads: "Trade your brat [of a husband] for a home-made Lada." This refers to compensation packages given to the wives and families of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine.

Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday the United States and Israel will endure "teeth-breaking" retaliation after Israel struck military sites in Iran in late October.

"The enemies, both the U.S. and the Zionist regime, should know that they will definitely receive a teeth-breaking response for what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front," Khamenei said while addressing a student group.

"We are certainly doing everything necessary to prepare the Iranian nation to stand against arrogance, whether in terms of military readiness, armaments or political actions."

Iran on Oct. 1 launched a missile strike against Israel that did little damage but prompted Israel to retaliate against Iranian military installations on Oct. 25.

Iran's missile strike was a retaliatory action against Israel for killing leaders of Iranian proxies Hamas and Hezbollah.

Iranian officials might increase the range of missiles to strike deeper in Israel "if the Islamic Republic of Iran faces an existential threat," Iranian state media reported earlier this week.

As hostilities between Iran and Israel escalate in the Middle East, the United States is sending more ballistic missile defense destroyers, a fighter squadron, tanker aircraft and several long-range B-52bombers to the region, the Department of Defense announced on Friday.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An attack on a central Israeli town early Saturday injured 11 people as Iran’s supreme leader vowed a punishing response to Israel’s attack last week and Israeli airstrikes continued in Gaza.

The predawn strike on Tira, which followed air raid sirens across central Israel, was one of several barrages fired from Lebanon early in the day. Many of the projectiles were intercepted by Israeli air defenses, while others landed in unpopulated areas.

The Magen David Adom emergency service said 11 people were hurt by shrapnel and glass shards in a direct strike on a building in Tira, a predominantly Israeli Arab town. Footage showed significant damage to the roof and top floor of the three-story building and cars below.

Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group said Saturday that it had used missiles and explosive drones to target military and intelligence facilities in northern and central Israel.

TIRA, Israel, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Rockets fired from Lebanon wounded 11 people in central Israel on Saturday, Israeli emergency services said, after one of them hit a house, as prospects for a ceasefire dimmed.

Fighting has escalated between Israeli forces and the Lebanese Hezbollah group since September, and hopes that a U.S. push this week for a ceasefire have faded.

"We went out and saw dust, children screaming, women screaming and everyone went to the house that was struck," said Qasim Mohab, a resident of Tira, where the rocket hit. "We were able to evacuate and rescue those who were inside the house, and thank God we were blessed that there was no one killed."
“Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians,” Ukraine’s president says.

Ukraine’s partners should permit Kyiv to strike North Korean troops inside Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, as more than 10,000 combatants prepare to enter frontline combat.

Zelenskyy called once again for Western countries to lift the ban on long-range missile strikes into Russian territory, in this case for preemptive attacks against camps housing the foreign soldiers.

“But instead of such necessary long-range [authorization], America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching,” complained the Ukrainian leader in a post on Telegram. “Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians.”

Emergency teams in Spain are continuing their efforts to locate dozens of people still missing in what is the worst flooding disaster in generations.

More than 200 people are known to have died, with most fatalities happening in the Valencia region, but the death toll is expected to rise.

The floods destroyed bridges and covered towns with mud - leaving cut-off communities without water, food or electricity.

Some residents say more lives could have been saved if the local authorities had been quicker to warn of the flood risk.

LONDON (AP) — Outspoken, right-leaning lawmaker Kemi Badenoch was named leader of Britain’s opposition Conservatives on Saturday, as the party tries to rebound from a crushing election defeat that ended its 14 years in power.

The first Black woman to lead a major British political party, Badenoch (pronounced BADE-enock) has pledged to bring the right-of-center Tories “renewal” by pushing for a smaller state and rejecting identity politics.

Badenoch defeated rival candidate Robert Jenrick in an online and postal ballot of party members, securing 57% of the almost 100,000 votes cast, to Jenrick’s 43%.

Badenoch, 44, replaces former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who in July led the Conservatives to their worst election result since 1832.
Israeli attacks target a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp.

The Israeli military has killed dozens more people in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon as it expands its attacks while ceasefire talks appear to be going nowhere.

At least 55 people were killed across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. Fourteen of them were killed in a series of Israeli air strikes and shelling from warships in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp on Friday, medical officials at al-Awda Hospital said.

“People are arriving to the hospital in carts pulled by animals, because it’s quite hard for civil defence and front-line emergency workers to reach the area, as Israeli military drones are actively operating there,” Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir el-Balah as the bombs fell a few kilometres away.
