A historic diplomatic moment is underway in Washington: on Monday, August 18, 2025, a rare delegation of European heads of state has gathered at the White House to join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in high-stakes discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump. These talks come amid escalating concern about the future trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine war. A United European Front Representing the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, NATO, and the European Commission, these leaders have formed a united front in solidarity with Ukraine.

Hamas Accepts Gaza Ceasefire Plan Amid Hostage Deal Talks

In a significant development in the ongoing Gaza conflict, Hamas has agreed to the latest ceasefire and hostage release proposal put forward by regional mediators Egypt and Qatar. The deal, based on a framework crafted by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, could mark the most serious step toward de-escalation in months of stalled negotiations. The Two-Stage Proposal According to a Palestinian official involved in the talks, the plan is structured as a two-stage agreement. Hamas would release roughly half of the 50 remaining Israeli hostages, believed to include around 20 still alive, over the course of a 60-day truce. During this period, negotiators would work toward securing a permanent ceasefire and paving the way for a gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. While Hamas has publicly signaled approval of the plan, Israeli officials have not yet commented. Israeli Public Pressure […]

White House Ukraine Talks: Trump, Zelensky & EU Leaders Face High-Stakes Summit

The White House is bracing for an unprecedented day of diplomacy as world leaders gather for high-stakes talks on the war in Ukraine. What began as a planned bilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has now transformed into a summit involving leaders from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, the EU, and NATO. This extraordinary lineup underscores the gravity of the conflict as it enters its third year—and highlights Europe’s growing concern that Washington may be shifting its position in ways that could disadvantage Ukraine.

However, since his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump’s tone toward Moscow has softened dramatically. Gone […]

Death Toll from Russian Gunpowder Factory Blast Climbs to 20

The number of people killed in Friday’s explosion at a gunpowder factory near Moscow has risen to 20, with more than 130 others injured, local authorities confirmed on Monday. The blast occurred at the Elastik gunpowder and ammunition plant in Ryazan, about 200 kilometres southeast of Moscow. Initial reports had put the death toll at 11. Officials declared Monday a day of mourning in the region. According to local sources, the explosion may have been triggered by a rogue shell detonation. Independent outlets reported that the factory had previously been warned over repeated safety violations. Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case for possible breaches of industrial safety regulations, suggesting the incident was not linked to Ukrainian sabotage. Photos released by the emergency ministry showed parts of the plant reduced to rubble. Search and rescue operations were still underway […]

Iraq Uncovers Mass Grave of IS Victims Near Mosul

Iraqi authorities have begun excavating a mass grave believed to contain thousands of victims of the Islamic State (IS) near Mosul, officials confirmed on Sunday. The operation, launched on August 10, focuses on the Khasfa site, where surface-level digging has already unearthed human skulls, according to project director Ahmed al-Assadi. Located outside Mosul—the former capital of IS’s self-declared “caliphate”—Khasfa is thought to be Iraq’s largest mass grave. A 2018 UN report estimated it could hold at least 4,000 bodies, with thousands more possibly buried in the 150-metre-deep sinkhole. Assadi said victims include Iraqi soldiers executed by IS, members of the Yazidi minority, and Mosul residents killed during the jihadists’ rule. In one of the worst massacres, IS executed 280 people in a single day in 2016, many of them Interior Ministry employees. Water erosion has damaged many of the remains, […]

Trump, Putin Summit Ends Without Ukraine Breakthrough

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended their high-profile summit on Friday without securing a deal on Ukraine. The three-hour talks produced warm words and promises of progress but no agreement on a ceasefire. Speaking afterward, President Trump called the meeting “extremely productive” and said both leaders had agreed on “many points,” though he offered no details. “We’re not there yet. There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” he said. Putin, for his part, said the discussions could help pave the way for peace in Ukraine. Smiling at Trump, he suggested their next meeting should be held in Moscow. The summit highlighted the personal rapport between the two leaders. Putin praised Trump, claiming the war in Ukraine would not have started if Trump had been president earlier. Trump, meanwhile, repeated his criticism of US intelligence findings that […]

China Opposes European Plan to Reinstate Sanctions on Iran nuclear programme

China has voiced opposition to fresh European sanctions on Iran’s nuclear programme, saying such measures would harm trust and undermine efforts to restart diplomatic talks. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday that sanctions “do not help parties build trust” and are “not conducive to the early resumption of negotiations.” His remarks came after Britain, France, and Germany — the E3 group — warned they would reimpose United Nations sanctions if no diplomatic breakthrough is reached by the end of August. The sanctions, lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal in exchange for limits on Iran’s programme, can be restored by any party to the agreement before it expires in October. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday that Tehran is working with China and Russia to prevent the sanctions’ return. He warned that Iran has “tools to respond” […]

Africa CDC Reports Major Drop in Mpox Cases, Raises Alarm Over Rising Cholera Outbreaks

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) says Africa has made significant progress in controlling mpox, one year after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global public health emergency. Director-General Dr. Jean Kaseya told reporters on Friday that coordinated action by governments, communities, and health partners has led to a sharp decline in cases across the continent. Between January 1 and August 13, 2025, Africa recorded 97,144 suspected mpox cases, 29,849 confirmed infections, and 593 deaths in 24 African Union (AU) member states — a 34.5% drop in confirmed cases over the past six weeks. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Burundi accounted for over 80% of this year’s infections but have reported steep declines. Other countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania, and Ghana, saw smaller outbreaks. Key response milestones include: 6 million […]

Arab Nations Condemn Netanyahu’s ‘Greater Israel’ Remarks

Several Arab countries have strongly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he appeared to endorse the idea of a “Greater Israel” — a concept that includes not only present-day Israel and the Palestinian territories, but also parts of Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. In an interview with i24NEWS on Tuesday, Netanyahu was asked if he supported this vision. He replied, “Absolutely… we’re there,” before shifting to comments about Israel’s founding and its mission to survive. Arab backlash was swift: Jordan called the remarks a “dangerous and provocative escalation” and “a threat to the sovereignty of states.” Egypt demanded clarification, saying the idea rejects “the option of peace in the region.” Iraq accused Israel of “expansionist ambitions” and provoking other nations. Qatar described the statements as “absurd” and “inflammatory.” Saudi Arabia rejected “colonisation and expansion,” reaffirming Palestinians’ right to an independent […]

On Eve of US-Russia Talks, Starmer Welcomes Zelensky to London

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in London on Thursday to show support for Ukraine. The meeting came just a day before a major US-Russia summit that Ukraine and European allies are not invited to. Starmer greeted Zelensky with a handshake and hug outside 10 Downing Street. Earlier in the day, Zelensky joined a video call with US President Donald Trump and other European leaders. On Friday, Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska—Putin’s first visit to Western territory since he invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The war has killed tens of thousands. Many fear the meeting could lead to a deal that pressures Ukraine into giving up territory. Starmer said there is now a “real chance” for a ceasefire after more than three years of fighting. Overnight, Ukraine sent dozens of drones into […]
