Geopolitical and Conflicts

Gaza Conflict:

Israeli military operations in Gaza continue, with reports of dozens killed in attacks, including a school-turned-shelter. A new U.S.-backed aid system has begun operations with its first distribution hubs, though many aid groups are against the plan. Spain is hosting European and Arab nations to pressure Israel for a halt to the assault.

Russia-Ukraine War:

Russia has launched its largest drone and missile attack on Ukraine in the three-year war, killing at least 12 people. This occurred hours after a rare prisoner swap between the two nations. Germany's Merz stated there are no more range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine.

Middle East Tensions:

Thousands of Israeli nationalists chanted "death to Arabs" during an annual procession through Jerusalem. A U.S.-German citizen has been charged with attempting to attack the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. President Donald Trump has hinted at an announcement regarding Iran nuclear talks in the coming days.
