The World This Week

Monday (Lundi) October (Octobre) 5, 2026 · ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC

What's up, everybody!

It's Monday (Lundi) October (Octobre) 5, 2026. Today is Major Content Curation Monday. Expect a brand-new Coffee with Zack VLOG in English later.

🕊️ A very important week

This week marks the 3rd anniversary of the conflict in Gaza, in which my independent Quai d'Orsay was the very first to demand a ceasefire and push for a Two-State Solution on YouTube. I've written previously about the conflict, and it's available both on my website and on Medium.com. Will I write more on the topic due to its significance this week? Possibly.

🗳️ PS. There are about 30 days until the #Midterms2026 elections. Please respect Jack Smith. Please vote. #BlueWave2026.

Watch MS NOW like I do. I couldn't afford a CNN membership yet, but Happy 15th Anniversary to Erin Burnett's OUTFRONT TV show. I miss you.

PPS. Yes, I support an INTERPOL Red Notice on Netanyahu.
