Amid ongoing hostilities, Hamas expresses openness to a comprehensive agreement contingent upon Israel ceasing military actions. Ceasefire talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar have repeatedly stalled amid mutual accusations. Despite an International Court of Justice order to cease attacks, Israel continues its offensive in Rafah. Hamas cites aggression, siege, and alleged genocide as reasons for halting negotiations. They propose a prisoner exchange as part of a broader peace deal. The global "All eyes on Rafah" trend highlights solidarity with Gaza, countered by Israel questioning past attention. Israel, perceiving Hamas as a threat, rejects previous offers, focusing its offensive on rescuing hostages and targeting Hamas militants.

Vladimir Putin won the Russian Presidential Elections with nearly 88 per cent votes. While addressing Russian citizens, the newly elected President Putin warned of World War III. Direct conflict between Russia, NATO would mean the world would be “one step away” from World War III. The Ukraine conflict has triggered deepest crisis in Moscow's relations with West since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Putin has often warned of the risks of nuclear war but says he has never felt the need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Elections in Russia came just over two years since the full-scale conflict broke out between Ukraine, Russia. It has been considered as one of the Europe’s deadliest conflict since the World War II. The chair of the central election commission in Moscow said Putin won a record 88 pc of the vote.

The ship was thoroughly examined by a team of Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The components in the cargo ship were primarily suspected of being used in Pak’s nuclear initiatives, specifically, in manufacturing some critical components for missile development.
