KEY POINTS

- •Trump stated, "I'm on every list... so far I've been a little lucky, but that may not last"
- •Pakistan's Foreign Office has urged all parties to exercise restraint and reaffirmed its role as a mediator through the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding

UNITED KINGDOMDOMINANT ANGLE
London is questioning the solidity of the intelligence cited by Israel, while also focusing on the verbal gaffes made by Trump during the NATO summit in Ankara.
