The U.S. State Department has approved a massive $6.75 billion arms sale to Israel, including precision bombs, guidance kits, and Hellfire missiles, just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Trump in Washington.
This comes amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza and growing global criticism of Trump’s push to relocate Palestinians and reshape the region.
With deadly 2,000-pound bombs back in Israel’s arsenal after Biden had previously halted their delivery, is the ceasefire doomed?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli operation, which involved explosions destroying Hezbollah members' pagers and walkie-talkies, killed 37 people, including children, and injured nearly 3,000. Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.

President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions.

Israel has announced its withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, citing “discrimination” and “anti-Semitic bias.” Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticized the council’s treatment of Israel, highlighting its disproportionate resolutions. The move follows the US exit, with Trump vowing to scrutinize UN agencies. Netanyahu backed the decision as tensions over Gaza and UNRWA involvement in Hamas attacks rise.

U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed the forced evacuation of Gaza's 2 million residents, with plans for the U.S. to take over control of the war-torn region. This unprecedented move has been met with fierce opposition from Hamas, which vows to resist these "unacceptable" plans. The proposal, made in a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, has sparked widespread outrage across the Arab world, including Egypt and Jordan, who have rejected the idea of resettling Gazans.

The Panama Canal Authority has firmly denied recent U.S. claims that Panama has agreed to waive fees for U.S. government vessels transiting the canal. In a sharp rebuttal to the U.S. Department of State’s announcement, Panama clarified that no such changes have been made to the canal’s tolls or policies. The controversy arose after the U.S. claimed that Panama’s decision would save millions in fees, but the Panama Canal Authority stressed that it had not adjusted its policies and is prepared to discuss the issue with U.S. officials.
