Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control â Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap.

Zelensky delivered a stunning rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being "afraid" to attend critical peace talks in Turkey. Speaking after the Istanbul summit collapsed with no major breakthroughs, Zelensky told European leadersâincluding French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merzâthat he was ready for a face-to-face meeting, but Putin chose to hide behind subordinates.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a âparty of warâ in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.

Trump took a swipe at Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron over their Victory Day celebrations, claiming that while Russia and France were celebrating, it was America that actually won World War II. In a fiery remark, Trump said, "They helped, but without us, theyâd be speaking German â maybe a little Japanese too"

French President Emmanuel Macron has delivered a stark assessment of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, stating bluntly that Ukraine cannot retake territories already lost to Russia. Acknowledging that even Ukrainian authorities are aware of this, Macron emphasized the need for a united international effort to support Ukraineâwithout escalating into World War III. Calling for peace, he said Ukraine must be positioned strongly for negotiations and confirmed that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Instead, Macron proposed a deployment of reassurance forces by willing allies, stationed far from the frontlines. The comments come ahead of planned peace talks in Istanbul, which remain deadlocked over Ukraineâs refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea.

Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage. His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trumpâs visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations. Trumpâs envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans. The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israelâs counteroffensive began.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamasâ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the governmentâs stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gazaâs worsening conditions.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled âgenocidal warâ on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egyptâs national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel has launched a new offensive in Gaza, codenamed Operation Gideonâs Chariots, aiming to defeat Hamas and reclaim hostages. The IDF has conducted extensive bombing and troop mobilization in strategic areas. Reports indicate plans to âconquerâ the entire enclave and relocate Palestinians southward. Over 115 Palestinians were killed on Friday alone, according to Al Jazeera. The offensive follows the breakdown of a US-Egypt-Qatar-brokered ceasefire in March. Since the war began after Hamas' October 7 attack, more than 53,000 Palestinians have died, with human rights groups accusing Israel of genocide.

President Donald Trump has hinted at major developments in Gaza in the coming month, saying the U.S. wants to help Palestinians suffering amid the Israel-Hamas war. Speaking from Air Force One after his Middle East tour, Trump acknowledged the starvation crisis and emphasized helping âboth sides.â Meanwhile, over 100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes. The IDF claims Hamas operates from civilian sites. The UN has warned of growing terror and humanitarian collapse in Gaza as the offensive escalates.
