Palestinians denounce U S build settlement support
Palestinian leaders condemned Washington for seeming to allow settlement construction in the West Bank while not expanding the settlements. US officials in Israel signalled no formal decision yet but indicated tolerance for building in main blocs, risking the peace process and diverging from the good map plan. Meanwhile Pakistan hunts more al Qaida suspects after arrests, and Russia’s Putin lays flowers at Chechnya’s slain president Kadyrov as part of election efforts.

Plan OK would dismantle CIA and Pentagon intelligence
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts unveiled a sweeping plan to move the nation’s top intelligence operations from the CIA and the Pentagon to a new national intelligence director. The proposal, supported by eight GOP members, would split the CIA directorates into three separate agencies, remove major agencies from the Pentagon, and place them under the new national director. Democrats Kana Rockefeller and Levin voiced concerns about partisan framing, while Rand Beers and White House officials called for review and caution. Roberts said full details would be shared with the White House and Senate Democrats, aiming to build broad consensus on bold national security changes.
