Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Vladimir Putin has confirmed that a highly anticipated summit with Donald Trump could take place as early as next week in the UAE, calling it a potential “historical event.” With the U.S. deadline looming for Russia to show progress on ending the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is pushing for a “successful and productive” outcome. However, Kyiv is unlikely to be part of the talks, as Russia dismisses Zelensky's inclusion and continues to label him “illegitimate” due to his expired term.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

After months of silence and worsening famine, Jordan and the UAE have conducted the first Arab airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As mass starvation grips the enclave, with over 120 deaths from malnutrition—including dozens of children—this airdrop may signal a shift. But with ongoing blockades and a severely restricted flow of supplies, is it too little, too late?
We break down what was delivered, why the crisis escalated, and whether international pressure is finally moving the needle.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.”

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

Hamas has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with U.S. support, in a bid to halt escalating violence in Gaza. The plan includes the return of half the hostages taken since October 7 and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by Israel. While Hamas has confirmed its approval, the Israeli government has yet to respond, and tensions remain high as Netanyahu had earlier approved plans to seize Gaza City. Protests have erupted in Israel, and Gaza residents continue to flee in fear of a renewed offensive. Is this ceasefire a path to lasting peace or a temporary pause in a volatile war? Watch the full update to understand the stakes.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.
