And I hope that this is the sign of the situation improving."

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gaza’s last northern hospitals—like the Indonesian facility—now shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation won’t bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, according to his office. The 82-year-old was diagnosed after showing urinary symptoms. Doctors say the cancer is hormone-sensitive and manageable despite its severity. Trump and other leaders extended support. The Gleason score was 9/10, indicating high risk. Biden had previously revived the Cancer Moonshot initiative. His health had been under scrutiny since his presidency and exit from the 2024 race.

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.”
World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman in the world” and accusing him of walking away from Washington with massive aid packages. In a new interview, Trump said he hated to see billions “pissed away” on Ukraine and questioned where the money went. With Congress growing skeptical, Trump also highlighted how Zelensky’s influence has waned. The remarks come just as Russia and Ukraine agreed to a major prisoner swap during their first direct peace talks in three years.

In a stunning twist, a personal trainer in Rome discovered his humble client “Robert” was none other than Pope Leo XIV. Valerio Masella trained the future pontiff—Cardinal Robert Prevost—for two years, unaware of his true identity. Known for his calm and balanced demeanor, Prevost worked out frequently, blending into gym life. The revelation came when Masella saw his former client emerge as Pope on TV. Praised for his physical fitness and humility, Pope Leo continues to inspire, even receiving a tennis racket from Italy’s Jannik Sinner this week.
