Gaza Conflict:

Violence continues near Gaza food distribution centers, with reports of at least 27 Palestinians killed. Israel is targeting Hamas, and a UN vote on a Gaza ceasefire demand is pending. The US-backed Gaza aid group has paused distribution.

Russia-Ukraine War:

Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul have concluded with no major breakthrough, though they agreed to a prisoner exchange. Ukraine claims to have struck the Crimea bridge and conducted a large-scale drone attack on Russian airfields, destroying some aircraft. Russia says no quick breakthrough is expected in talks.

Middle East Tensions:

Houthi rebels claim a missile fired toward Tel Aviv Airport forced a U.S. plane to abort landing. Israel's army also shelled Syria after projectiles were launched. Iran's supreme leader criticized a US nuclear proposal but didn't reject the idea of a deal, maintaining Iran's right to enrich uranium.
