Here's a news digest covering recent events:

East Jerusalem Shooting

A shooting attack in East Jerusalem has resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries. Initial reports indicated that at least four people were killed, and several others wounded. Some reports indicate as many as five deaths. The shooting occurred at the Ramot Junction on Yigal Yadin Street, a major intersection and a road leading to Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem. According to police reports, the attackers arrived in a vehicle and opened fire at a bus stop. Some witnesses stated that the attackers boarded a bus and began shooting at passengers. Israeli authorities have described the incident as a terror attack, and police neutralized the attackers soon after the shooting began. Emergency services reported a chaotic scene with broken glass and injured people lying on the road.

Following the attack, Israeli forces closed all checkpoints between occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Police suspect that the perpetrators were Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. The shooting is considered the deadliest in the country in nearly a year.

Zelenskyy Backs Trump's Tariff on India

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced his support for US President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on India for its continued purchase of oil and natural gas from Russia. Zelenskyy stated that levying tariffs on countries that continue to trade with Russia is "the right idea". He labeled energy as Russian President Vladimir Putin's "weapon" and argued that all energy trade with Russia should be stopped to increase pressure on Putin to end the war against Ukraine.

Trump's decision involves a 25% retaliatory tariff on New Delhi for its purchase of Russian oil, which, combined with an earlier tariff, brings the total rate of US tariffs on Indian goods to 50%. Trump claims that Russia uses the revenue from these oil purchases to fund its war in Ukraine, a claim that India has refuted as "unjustified". Zelenskyy also expressed displeasure over some European countries continuing to buy oil and natural gas from Russia, deeming it "not fair". He emphasized the need for additional pressure on Putin, including pressure from the United States, to halt all energy purchases from Russia.
