101. TRUMP COMMENTING ON MEETING WITH ZELENSKYY HERE ARE SOME OF THE KEY MOMENTS FROM FEBRUARY 2025 FEATURED IN THE VIDEO:

- On February 1, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, handed over three Israeli hostages in two locations in the Gaza Strip to the International Committee of the Red Cross as part of the ongoing prisoner exchange deal. Two Israeli hostages - Ofer Calderon and Yarden Bibas - were handed over to the Red Cross in Khan Younis. The third Israeli captive, Samuel Siegel, who also holds US citizenship, was handed over to representatives of the Red Cross in the Gaza City seaport. In exchange, Israel released 32 Palestinian hostages from West Bank. Later, 143 freed Palestinian prisoners arrived in the Gaza Strip.

- Thousands of protesters gathered in Los Angeles on February 2 to denounce the Trump administration’s measures to combat irregular migration, including deportation operations and stricter border policies.

- A school shooting took place in the Swedish city of Orebro on February 4. 11 people were killed as a result of the violent attack. Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia visited the grounds of the school where the Nordic country's worst mass shooting took place.

- A bird flu outbreak in the US led to the culling of millions of chickens, disrupting egg production and pushing prices higher. The outbreak led to the closure of several poultry markets and a limit of three cartons of eggs per purchase.

- A small plane crashed on an avenue in Sao Paulo’s Barra Funda district on February 7. The plane collided with a bus, causing it to burst into flames. Two charred bodies were found inside the plane while a motorcyclist passing by and the bus driver, who was alone in the vehicle, were injured.

- A 24-year-old Afghan national drove his vehicle into a crowd in Munich's city center on February 13. A two-year-old girl and her 37-year-old mother died from injuries. The victims who died in the attack were members of a migrant family from Algeria. 37 others were injured in the car-ramming attack.

- The 61st Munich Security Conference (MSC) started in Germany on February 14, hosting over 50 heads of state and government and around 150 ministers from all over the world. The conference concluded on February 16. Intense discussions about the war in Ukraine and potential peace talks with Russia, as well as US Vice President JD Vance's controversial remarks about Europe, dominated the conference.

- 18 people were injured when a Delta Airlines plane crash-landed and flipped upside down at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada on February 17. Canada's Transportation Minister Anita Anand said in a post on X that all 80 passengers onboard were accounted for.

- Palestinian resistance group Hamas handed over the bodies of four Israeli captives on February 20 under a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement.The bodies of Shiri Bibas, and her two children; Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz were handed over to Red Cross representatives in Khan Younis. Israel released 642 Palestinian prisoners after Hamas handed over the bodies of four Israeli captives under the Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal.

- On February 23, Germans headed to polls to vote in federal election. German opposition leader Friedrich Merz won the election.

- Federal workers rallied in New York on February 27 after the administration of US President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to prepare for widespread layoffs as part of a government reorganization effort. Meanwhile, USAID workers gathered outside the agency's headquarters in Washington to collect their personal belongings after it was shut down by the Donald Trump administration.

- US President Donald Trump abruptly ended a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on February 28 after a fiery exchange in the Oval Office between the leaders derailed critical talks.Trump said that the Ukrainian leader overplayed his hand. Zelenskyy wrote "Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you POTUS, Congress, and the American people," on X after the heated war of words with Trump and US Vice President JD Vance, who repeatedly accused the embattled leader of being ungrateful for Americans' support in Kyiv's war effort.
