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.

Israel Pounds Central Gaza Camps, Deepens Invasion of Rafah

 

Israeli forces intensified their military operations in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties and displacement. According to medics, three people were killed, and dozens were wounded during overnight airstrikes. Tanks also deepened their invasion into Rafah in the south, prompting residents to flee.

In Al-Nuseirat camp, Israeli planes struck a house, killing two people and wounding 12 others. Tanks shelled areas in Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij camps, causing further injuries. These camps hold historical significance as part of Gaza’s refugee communities.

Deir al-Balah, another city in central Gaza, witnessed an Israeli airstrike that killed one Palestinian and injured several others. The Israeli military claims these operations are “precise, intelligence-based” activities targeting militants and military infrastructure.

Rafah, near the border with Egypt, has borne the brunt of the conflict. Israeli tanks have taken control of most areas, forcing families to flee northward. The city, which once housed over half of Gaza’s population, now has fewer than 100,000 residents. Despite international efforts, a cease-fire remains elusive.

The ongoing conflict continues to devastate lives, leaving civilians caught in the crossfire. As the situation unfolds, the world watches, hoping for a peaceful resolution to this protracted crisis.
