North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response. Is this a strategic warning from North Korea, or a sign of further escalation to come?

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability.
