New Diplomacy on the Horizon: U.S. and Russia Push Ahead Without Ukraine

  In a bold shift from previous diplomatic efforts, top U.S. and Russian officials have agreed to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine—even as Ukrainian representatives remain notably absent. High-level talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussing the framework for future peace negotiations and steps toward restoring bilateral relations. The Trump administration’s approach, which prioritizes direct engagement with Moscow, marks a departure from longstanding principles that insisted on “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” Critics in Kyiv have voiced strong opposition. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that any agreement reached without Ukraine’s participation would be unacceptable and would undermine the nation’s sovereignty.

Gaza’s Grim Toll: 360 Lives Lost in Israeli Offensive


A grim scene unfolded in the northern refugee camp of Jabaliya in Gaza as first responders recovered the bodies of 360 people. Most of the victims were women and children, tragically caught in the crossfire during a recent three-week Israeli offensive. The ongoing strikes and ground offensives across Gaza have left devastation in their wake.

Israeli Strikes and Civilian Casualties

Palestinian health officials reported that Israeli strikes killed at least 11 people overnight into Tuesday. Among the casualties were a family of three in the Bureij refugee camp and eight police officers. The conflict continues to escalate, even as a cease-fire proposal by U.S. President Joe Biden hangs in the balance.

Cease-Fire Proposal and Israeli Response

The proposed cease-fire offers hope for ending Israel’s war against Hamas, securing the release of hostages held by the militant group, and reducing tensions on the northern border with Lebanon. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership has distanced itself from the plan, vowing to continue military operations against Hamas until the group is destroyed.

Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

Israel’s expanding offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah has severely impacted civilians. Food, medicine, and other essential supplies are scarce, exacerbating widespread hunger. The conflict has already claimed over 36,000 Palestinian lives, with no distinction made between combatants and civilians.

As the situation remains volatile, the world watches, hoping for a path toward peace and stability in the region.
