Geopolitical Issues & Conflicts

Israel and Gaza:

Tensions remain extremely high. Israel has reportedly approved a plan to "capture and hold" the entire Gaza Strip, intensifying the ongoing conflict. This follows a Houthi missile attack on Israel's main Ben-Gurion Airport, which briefly halted flights. There are also reports of increasing desperation and looting in Gaza due to the humanitarian situation.

Russia-Ukraine War:

While there are discussions about potential ceasefires, fighting continues. Russia reported a Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk, and Ukraine claimed to have shot down a Russian fighter jet using a naval drone.
