Hamas has been planning to establish a covert base in Turkey and other terror cells to coordinate attacks against Israeli targets, including NATO members, according to a document captured by the IDF in Gaza, reported by The Times. The document, found in the home of a key Hamas leader’s chief of staff, outlines a strategy to create secret bases to bolster resistance forces and conduct intelligence and military operations. The plan includes targeted assassinations, sabotage of Israeli naval vessels, and kidnappings. The Turkish government, supportive of Hamas, labels it a "liberation group." President Erdogan has harshly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating his methods would make "Hitler jealous." Erdogan also announced that over 1,000 Hamas members are being treated in Turkish hospitals and expressed disappointment over Greece’s stance that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Despite public support, Erdogan denies that Hamas conducts terrorist operations from Turkey.

Israel retaliates against Turkey's trade halt by limiting Turkish trade with the Palestinian Authority and seeking sanctions. The move, spurred by Turkey's bid to pressure Israel on Gaza, draws strong condemnation. Erdogan defends Turkey's actions, while Israel vows robust responses, straining relations further amid the ongoing conflict.

of holding rates steady, ECB Governing Council, via statement.
This is the first time that interest rates
have been cut since September 2019. .
Updated macroeconomic projections indicate that 2024's "annual average headline inflation outlook" has been increased from 2.3% to 2.5%, CNBC reports.
For 2025, it was raised from 2% to 2.2%.
The projection for 2026 stayed at 1.9%.
The ECB's next meeting is in July, where another rate cut is unlikely, experts say.
The slight upgrade to the inflation forecast
was to be expected, inflation has been printing
a little bit hotter than markets were expecting,

Iran has summoned Sweden's temporary charge d'affaires in response to what it termed "baseless & spiteful accusations" following claims by Sweden's intelligence agency that Iran has been "using criminal networks" within the Scandinavian country to target Israel and its interests.

Iran is allegedly behind a series of terror attacks carried out by criminal networks targeting Israeli embassies in Europe since October 7, according to the Mossad intelligence agency. The Mossad has been collaborating with European intelligence agencies to investigate these incidents. One significant attack occurred in January when an explosive device, reportedly a hand grenade, was found within the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. The Swedish national bomb squad safely destroyed the device. Subsequent investigations led to the conclusion that the Foxtrot organised crime ring in Sweden was responsible for the attack, acting on behalf of Iran, according to Mossad findings.

Scientists Discover , Hidden Indicator of Future , Weight Changes.
'Newsweek' reports that scientists
may have found a way to predict weight
gain or loss from the size of fat cells. .
Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet
measured the size and number of fat cells
in the abdominal fat of 260 volunteers. .
The team found that after an average
of 15 years, those with larger fat cells tended
to lose weight, while those with smaller fat
cells were more prone to gaining weight.
We can only speculate as to
why the size of a person's fat cells
seems to predict their future weight, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Body weight decreases when energy
expenditure exceeds intake and the
body burns off fat to compensate. , Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Our results suggest that the loss
of large fat cells makes more
of an impact on weight
than the loss of small ones, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Peter Arner, one of the lead researchers on the study,
notes that smaller fat cells have also been found
to be linked to a better metabolic profile. .
This means that if someone with
small fat cells does gain weight,
it may not raise their risk of
conditions such as type 2 diabetes
and high blood pressure as much
as if they had large fat cells, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the team hope their
findings will help develop more personalized weight
management strategies for people in the future.
It could be of great clinical
value to have information
about fat cell size before starting
a weight-management program, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
If it is the case that those with
large fat cells find it easier to
lose weight, those with smaller
cells could be given extra support, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'

Vladimir Putin has warned he could provide long-range weapons to nations to strike Western targets in response to NATO allies allowing Ukraine to use their arms.. Sky News
Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren announced that the Netherlands will allow Ukraine full autonomy in using the 24 F-16 fighter jets it is set to receive, according to an interview with Politico. This stance diverges from Belgium's approach, which has placed usage restrictions on its own contribution of 30 fighter jets to the Ukrainian military.
