Sweden cleared the final hurdle to join
the alliance after Hungary’s parliament approved the motion, Politico reports.
The historic move for Sweden comes after the country’s neutrality lasted through two world wars and the Cold War.
.
Sweden is the 32nd member to join the military alliance.
.
Hungary was the last NATO member to hold out on Sweden’s membership but held a parliamentary vote to approve it.
.
188 lawmakers in the Hungarian parliament supported Sweden’s NATO membership,
6 against and no abstentions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused Sweden to change its decade-long stance of neutrality, all while the future of NATO’s future remains uncertain.
.
Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, withheld his approval of Sweden’s bid
for over 600 days.
Orbán has faced criticism for maintaining contact with Russian president,
Vladimir Putin.

Netanyahu praised Hungary’s plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, branding it “corrupt” and “political.” Standing beside PM Viktor Orbán in Budapest, Netanyahu thanked Hungary for opposing what he called a biased body targeting democratic nations. Orbán cited the ICC’s actions as unacceptable, while rights groups warned the move weakens global justice. The visit marks Netanyahu’s latest defiant appearance abroad amid an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, positioning Hungary as one of his few international allies.

In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise.

Russia has ended its 30-day moratorium on energy-related strikes—an informal ceasefire reportedly brokered by Donald Trump. With the deal now effectively dead, Russian forces launched long-range precision strikes on Ukraine’s drone production facilities, airfields, and weapons depots. The Kremlin accuses Kyiv of violating the truce through drone incursions into Russian territory, prompting what Moscow calls a justified military response. As hopes for a Trump-led diplomatic breakthrough fade, the region braces for renewed conflict.

Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a “humanitarian act” after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamas’ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas. The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Gaza war and Israel’s military actions.
