Conflict hot spots around the
world carry the threat of nuclear
escalation, climate change is already
causing death and destruction,
and disruptive technologies
like AI and biological research
advance faster than their safeguards, Rachel Bronson, The Bulletin of Atomic
Scientists president and CEO, via Al Jazeera.
Rachel Bronson, the bulletin’s president
and CEO, added that holding the hands of
the clock unchanged at 90 seconds to midnight
is “not an indication that the world is stable.”.

Al Jazeera points out that the U.S.
and Russia possess nearly 90%
of the world's nuclear weapons.
In March, Putin announced that Russia would
deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus.

Bronson went on to cite concerns regarding Israel's
ongoing campaign against Hamas in Gaza as
another factor driving the risk of global catastrophe.
As a nuclear state, Israel’s actions are
clearly relevant to the Doomsday Clock
discussion.
Of particular worry is
that the conflict might escalate more
broadly in the region, creating a larger
conventional war and drawing in more
nuclear powers or near-nuclear powers, Rachel Bronson, The Bulletin of Atomic
Scientists president and CEO, via Al Jazeera
Hezbollah's deployment of a new heavy rocket, named after Jihad Mughniyeh, marked a significant escalation in tensions. Targeting an Israeli military position in disputed territories, the retaliatory strike followed Israel's offensive in Gaza. Despite claims of precision, the attack caused significant damage. In response, four Israeli soldiers were wounded by anti-tank guided missile fire from Lebanon, indicating a dangerous escalation in the conflict.

The leader of Hamas's political wing in Gaza and one of Israel's most wanted men, Yahya Sinwar, is not in Rafah, two officials said as Israel moved ahead with its ground offensive in Gaza's southernmost city. Two officials, citing intelligence inputs, told The Times of Israel that the Hamas leader was hiding in underground tunnels in the Khan Younis area, around five miles north of Rafah. Another official from Israel said Sinwar was still in Gaza. In March, it was reported that close relatives of Yahya Sinwar crossed over to Egypt through the Rafah crossing. Several other top Hamas leaders have also managed to move their relatives and family out of Gaza into safe zones in Egypt. Israel has called Yahya Sinwar the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, raid into southern Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed, and more than 200 others kidnapped.

The United States has taken decisive action by imposing sanctions on four entities involved in procuring materials for Pakistan's ballistic missile project. This move aims to disrupt networks supporting proliferation activities, particularly those related to weapons of mass destruction. Three of the entities are based in China, while one operates out of Belarus. These companies have supplied items relevant to Pakistan's ballistic missile programs, including its efforts to develop long-range missiles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces launched an attack that destroyed the largest power-generating plant in the Kyiv region in retaliation for assaults against his own country’s energy sector. Putin insisted that Russia was "obliged" to launch strikes on Ukrainian energy sites. The repeated attacks on civilian power stations have sparked outrage from Ukraine's allies. Speaking to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, President Putin argued that the attacks were only in response to Kyiv's attacks on Russian targets.

US President Joe Biden has directly offered a ceasefire to Hamas, stressing that the decision now lies with the group. Biden indicates that the ceasefire could be implemented as early as tomorrow if Hamas releases its hostages. Additionally, Biden extends an offer to Israel, providing valuable intelligence on Hamas leaders' whereabouts if Israel refrains from a major operation in Rafah. The US also pledges assistance to Israel in erecting large shelters for Palestinians evacuated from Rafah. However, Biden issues a warning to Israel, stating that the supply of artillery shells and weapons could be halted if it proceeds with an attack on Rafah. Despite multiple rounds of indirect negotiations, Hamas and Israel have yet to reach a ceasefire agreement.
