Dalai Lama Asserts Sole Authority Over Reincarnation Amid China’s Claims

In a landmark declaration just days before his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama has reaffirmed that the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist institution will continue after his death—and that his reincarnation will be determined solely by the Gaden Phodrang Trust , a foundation he established.

Hamas announced on Wednesday that it is reviewing a ceasefire proposal described by U.S. President Donald Trump as a “final” offer aimed at halting the nearly two-year-long conflict in Gaza. The proposal, brokered through mediators Egypt and Qatar, outlines a 60-day truce during which broader negotiations would take place to end hostilities.

Trump stated that Israel had agreed to the terms of the deal following what he called a “long and productive” meeting with Israeli officials. He warned that failure to accept the proposal could worsen the situation in the region.

The proposal has sparked cautious optimism among some Gazans, who see even a temporary pause as a potential lifeline. Yet skepticism remains high, with many questioning whether this latest diplomatic push will lead to lasting peace.
