Von der Leyen and Metsola arrive in Israel in show of solidarity after Hamas attacks
The visit to Israel by the presidents of two of the EU's most important institutions comes six days after Hamas carried out its surprise land, sea and air attack in Israel, which has left more than 1,300 people dead since 7 October - more than in the entire Second Intifada - and 3,200 wounded.
At least 34 Palestinians were killed as Israeli airstrikes ravaged Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials. Twelve of the dead were sheltering at the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, with additional casualties reported in residential apartments and tents in Muwasi.
The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll from the war now exceeds 56,000 â more than half of them women and children. Amid the carnage, Donald Trump told reporters a Gaza ceasefire could arrive âwithin a week,â raising hopes as Israeli minister Ron Dermer prepares to visit Washington for talks. However, ceasefire conditions remain deadlocked, with Hamas willing to release hostages in exchange for ending the war â an offer Netanyahu refuses unless Hamas is disarmed and exiled.
Meanwhile, UN aid convoys are being looted as Palestinians face starvation. Israel allowed only limited food supplies into Gaza after blocking aid for over two months.

Hamas is struggling to survive in Gaza amid internal rebellions by local clans and relentless Israeli military pressure. Weakened by a loss of commanders and much of its tunnel network, the group faces growing uncertainty over continued Iranian support after key Iranian figures were targeted by Israel. With Israel backing rival tribes, Hamas fighters operate autonomously but face growing challenges maintaining control. A ceasefire is urgently needed for Hamas to regroup and suppress rogue elements. The situation exposes deep fractures within Gaza and raises questions about Hamasâs future amid shifting regional dynamics.

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the regionâs most densely populated areas.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced Ukraine is now fully aligning with European Union sanctions on Iran. In a dramatic statement, Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting external terror campaigns, engaging in brutal domestic repression, and forging a dangerous alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move marks Kyivâs most aggressive stance against Tehran, extending Ukraine's sanctions policy beyond Russia to its geopolitical backers. Zelenskyy labeled the Iranian government âone of the most brutal regimes in the worldâ and said Ukraine would contribute to targeting Iranian individuals, companies, and entities involved in both weapons production and regional destabilization. He emphasized the global importance of sanctions against both Russia and its partners. The announcement comes as Iran and Russia deepen defense ties amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

Echoing Putinâs recent threats, OrbĂĄn says NATO expansion is a direct risk to peace in Europe. Hungary's foreign minister reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine's membership âimpossible.â As NATO leaders push for more defense spending to counter Russia, divisions within the alliance deepen.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reminded Donald Trump that the EU remains open for a trade dealâbut the U.S. President made it clear: China and India come first. Speaking after sealing deals with Beijing and hinting at a "very big" one with India, Trump gave no indication of engaging with Europe anytime soon. The EU, once a top U.S. economic partner, is now seemingly sidelined as Washington pivots eastward. The diplomatic slight leaves Brussels waiting in lineâbehind two of the worldâs biggest emerging powerhouses.
