FIFA boss criticised over decision to join Trump tour and delaying meeting
Thursday, 15 May 2025 () FIFA president Gianni Infantino's decision to join Donald Trump's Gulf tour has been criticised by European football's governing body after he arrived late for the biggest annual gathering of the global game.
Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are back on the table in Istanbul. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky says Moscow is open to “possible compromises,” with a high-level delegation from defense, foreign affairs, and intelligence ministries already in place. Ukraine, which initially demanded a 30-day ceasefire, changed its stance after Donald Trump publicly backed renewed negotiations. President Zelensky, while refusing direct dialogue with Putin, has sent Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to lead the talks.

Gaza is reeling from what residents call a “Bloody Thursday,” with over 150 people reportedly killed within 24 hours during intense Israeli airstrikes. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) defended the attacks, claiming to have targeted terror hubs, including rocket launchers and operative cells. The strikes come days after two hospitals were bombed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the U.S. should take Gaza and turn it into a “freedom zone,” clashing with Israel’s stated goals. The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 53,000, according to local authorities.

Houthis launched their 4th missile strike on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport within 48 hours. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed a successful “qualitative military operation” using a hypersonic missile that disrupted air travel and sent millions into shelters. Despite Israeli defense systems intercepting the projectile, sirens blared across Tel Aviv, amplifying regional tensions. The Houthis have declared an aerial blockade campaign to pressure an end to the Gaza war.

Vladimir Putin will not attend the high-stakes Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul. Instead, Kremlin aide and nationalist figure Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian delegation, reigniting debate over Russia's negotiation sincerity. Medinsky, known for his controversial historical views, previously led failed 2022 talks with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky insists only Putin’s presence signals real intent. He refuses to meet lower-tier officials. Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to skip the event. The absence of top leaders adds doubt over whether Istanbul's negotiations will yield any breakthrough in the ongoing war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?
