Marking 77 years since the Nakba, tens of thousands joined a massive pro-Palestine protest in London, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The march, from Embankment to Downing Street, condemned the ongoing "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. It coincided with Israel’s intensified bombing of Gaza, killing over 150 in 24 hours. As ceasefire talks resumed in Doha, Israel threatened continued military operations unless progress was made. The symbolic protest amplified global calls for justice and peace as Israeli forces escalated operations and Hamas agreed to rejoin negotiations under mounting pressure.

The UK has suspended free trade talks with Israel and summoned its ambassador amid growing outrage over military actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israeli ministers’ extremist rhetoric and the humanitarian crisis, with sanctions targeting settlers and linked groups.

Trump’s erratic Ukraine policy has backfired, handing strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin. From praising Russia to undercutting Western efforts, Trump’s shifting stance confused allies and weakened U.S. credibility. Despite promises of peace “in 24 hours,” Putin escalated the war, rejecting Trump’s ceasefire ideas. Key allies, including UK PM Starmer, expressed alarm as U.S. military aid faltered. Trump’s praise, sanction reversals, and attempts to monetize aid left Ukraine vulnerable. With 300 drones and 69 missiles striking Kyiv, Trump's foreign policy gamble has only fueled Russia’s war machine.
