Russian forces are pushing deeper into eastern Ukraine, advancing toward key cities including Dobropillia and Pokrovsk. Fierce clashes have erupted along the frontline, with Ukrainian troops deploying reserves to contain rapid Russian infiltrations. The intensified offensive comes just days before the planned Trump-Putin summit, a timing that military analysts say could strengthen Moscow’s leverage in negotiations.

National Guard troops rolled into Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening as President Trump’s aggressive anti-crime initiative officially kicked off. Armored personnel carriers were spotted near the Washington Monument, with federal forces gathering at key sites across the city. The deployment follows Trump’s dramatic invocation of a law allowing federal control of D.C.’s police force for 30 days. As over 1,300 federal personnel begin patrols, questions mount over the scope, legality, and impact of the operation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific.

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will testify three times a week starting November in his high-profile corruption trial, as the Jerusalem District Court pushes to speed proceedings that began in 2020. Facing bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges in multiple cases, Netanyahu could face over a decade in prison if convicted. Supporters call the case a political witch hunt, while critics accuse him of exploiting national crises to delay justice. The court is even considering relocating hearings for better security as tensions mount in Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a major political crisis as far-right leaders within his coalition threaten to quit, demanding harsher action against Hamas. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other right-wing figures have voiced distrust in Netanyahu’s Gaza strategy, calling for the complete destruction of Hamas rather than partial measures. Lawmakers like Zvi Sukkot and Yitzhak Kroizer argue Netanyahu’s approach risks forcing negotiations instead of total victory. With pressure mounting and the Gaza war dragging on, Netanyahu’s grip on power grows increasingly fragile.
