Maariv's Saturday news roundup brings together several major events from the past week. Donald Trump announced a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland, granting the US permanent security control over the island, amid the Russian-Chinese threat and the race for minerals. In the disappearance case of Fatima Rajabi, a resident of East Jerusalem in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of murder; after his arrest, a woman's body was found whose identity has not yet been determined. Trump decided to ban several media outlets, including CNN and Politico, from entering the White House, claiming 'fake news'. Czechia presented a new security strategy in light of the Russian threat, including the purchase of the Israeli Iron Dome system. The mother of the late Libby Cohen-Meguri, who was murdered in the October 7 massacre, confronted Aharon Haliva, who was a central part of the failure. Prime Minister Netanyahu will arrive in the US next week for a visit that includes the UN General Assembly in New York. Dr. Sufian Abu Zaida, a former Fatah senior official, revealed that he is the source known as 'Coal Eyes' who received a message from Yahya Sinwar before October 7. Turkey arrested 191 suspects in a forex and crypto fraud case worth about $3 billion, with Ankara claiming that the network's leaders were Israelis. Qatar rejects claims that it funded Hamas and claims that all aid to Gaza was coordinated with Israel and the UN. According to the Telegraph, Western intelligence officials assess that Putin is preparing for a 'covert mobilization' of hundreds of thousands and an escalation of the war in Ukraine. The film 'A Casual Damage' is heading to theaters in the US and will be launched at the New York Film Festival. Gaza photographer Maathaz Aziza speaks for the first time about documenting Israeli hostages on October 7 and criticizes Hamas.
