Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan has sparked massive outrage in the Muslim World. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to turn Gaza into a Middle Eastern ‘Riviera’ has triggered a major Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. Leaders from Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and other Gulf nations are gathering to discuss a unified response to the proposal, which involves expelling Gaza’s Palestinian population. While Cairo has proposed an alternative reconstruction plan, divisions remain over who should govern Gaza post-war. As regional tensions escalate, the summit is expected to shape the future of Gaza and broader Middle East geopolitics.

France is ramping up its defense strategy with plans to deploy nuclear-armed Rafale jets near the German border. President Emmanuel Macron announced a €1.5 billion upgrade to Luxeuil air base, which will house these advanced fighter jets equipped with hypersonic nuclear missiles by 2035. As tensions rise across Europe, this move has sparked concerns of a new arms race, with Russia warning the move could escalate regional instability. Is this a step toward stronger EU security or a dangerous gamble?

From Rafale to F-35: In a landmark defense proposal, former U.S. President Donald Trump has offered India the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, potentially transforming the country’s air combat capabilities. The F-35, hailed as the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter, boasts unparalleled stealth, superior electronic warfare systems, and unmatched situational awareness.
If India accepts the deal, it would mark a significant shift in its defense strategy, moving beyond the Rafale jets toward a future dominated by American military technology. However, the decision comes with major geopolitical and economic considerations, including India’s long-standing defense ties with Russia, the high costs of acquisition and maintenance, and the need for advanced infrastructure to operate these jets effectively.
