Hezbollah ministers walked out of Lebanon's government meeting when they began discussing disarmament of non-state organizations

In an interview with Fox News earlier today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel plans to take full control of the Gaza Strip. He said the move is aimed at securing Israel, eliminating Hamas, and, in his words, “liberating the people of Gaza.”

The Lebanese government concluded its meeting to discuss the American paper to consolidate the ceasefire with Israel.

Ukrainian long-range FPV strike drones are steadily dismantling Russian air defenses in Crimea. In this latest wave, they successfully targeted a Nebo-SVU long-range radar, a Podlet K1 surveillance radar, a 96L6E “Cheese Board” acquisition radar linked to an S-400 system, and even managed to strike a Raptor-class patrol boat for good measure.

Putin said he has nothing against meeting with Zelensky, but according to the war criminal, certain conditions must be met — and they are "still a long way off." However, he expressed interest in meeting with Trump, naming the UAE as one of the possible locations.

“The United States has put forward a proposal that the Russian side deems acceptable,” said Putin’s aide, Ushakov.

Brazil is expected to send attachés from the Federal Revenue Service and the Federal Police, as well as generals from the Brazilian Army and Navy, to China. When asked about Brazil’s growing diplomatic presence in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated: “The mutually beneficial and friendly cooperation between China and Brazil has brought benefits to both peoples, advanced the modernization process of each country, and has become a model of cooperation among major developing nations. China is willing to continue working together with Brazil.”

According to Axios, U.S. President Donald J. Trump will not stand in the way of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed military campaign to “fully conquer and occupy” the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Security Cabinet is set to vote Thursday on a contentious plan to expand the current war by advancing into Central Gaza — including Gaza City — a move expected to displace up to one million civilians and take several months to carry out. Two U.S. officials confirmed that President Trump has no intention of interfering with Israel’s decision. One noted that Trump was particularly impacted by a recent Hamas video showing an Israeli hostage being forced to dig his own grave. “It influenced the president, and he’s going to let the Israelis do what they need to do,” the official said. However, they also clarified that the Trump administration does not endorse any Israeli efforts to annex territory in Gaza.
