Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Leaders from India, Brazil, Russia, and China are deepening economic and strategic ties, defying U.S. pressure and embracing multipolar cooperation. With BRICS expanding and over 30 countries seeking membership, Washington’s trade war may be fueling the very bloc it seeks to counter.

As Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on India and China, leaders Modi, Xi, and Putin are coordinating a strategic response. Modi and Putin held a phone call to review bilateral ties, with Trump accusing India of funding Russia’s war via oil trade. Xi also spoke with Putin, urging diplomacy with the U.S. but slamming Trump’s “bully” tactics. The growing BRICS unity signals a serious counterweight to Washington’s tariff war, as all three powers challenge what they call unfair and illegal U.S. trade pressure.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response.
Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand exploded into deadly border clashes this week, killing at least 13 and displacing over 170,000. Cambodia has urgently called for an immediate ceasefire, citing a desire for a peaceful resolution. The conflict flared near the disputed Preah Vihear and Prasat Ta Muen Thom temples, ancient religious sites turned battlegrounds. Artillery and rocket fire were exchanged, with accusations flying at the United Nations Security Council.
Thailand blamed Cambodia for "inhumane" attacks, while Cambodia argued that Thailand initiated the violence. A century-old land dispute—rooted in colonial maps and contested rulings—has resurfaced, reigniting fears of a broader war. The 2013 ICJ ruling gave control of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, yet Thailand continues to dispute surrounding territory. With both militaries mobilized and thousands fleeing their homes, the region teeters on the edge of a larger humanitarian crisis.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead. Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia. At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine. Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people. President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators. The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks. The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country.

Iran’s top security chief, Ali Larijani, has declared that meaningful talks with the West are only possible if Washington and Europe drop their threats of war. In a fiery interview, Larijani said Iran remains committed to diplomacy, but warned that intimidation, sanctions, and military strikes cannot force Tehran into submission. He slammed recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian sites as violations of international law and accused Europe of acting as Washington’s p@wn by reviving the “snapback” sanctions mechanism. Larijani did not rule out Iran’s possible exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying the pact has “brought us no benefit.” He made clear that strength — not empty promises — is what secures progress for Iran. His remarks underline Tehran’s hardened stance: real negotiations can only begin when the West accepts that war and pressure are doomed to fail.

A new poll shows Benjamin Netanyahu’s government teetering on the edge as 62% of Israelis say the leadership has lost the public’s confidence. The results come amid intensifying protests across Tel Aviv, where families of hostages and ordinary citizens are demanding an immediate deal with Hamas to bring their loved ones home. While 26% of Israelis want an urgent partial deal to save hostages in deteriorating condition, 46% back a full ceasefire agreement that would end the war in Gaza altogether. Only 18% believe the fighting should continue, regardless of the hostages’ fate. With public rage spilling into the streets and international pressure mounting, Netanyahu faces the most precarious moment of his political career. The poll suggests a nation deeply divided, yet united in one belief: the prime minister’s time may be running out.

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time?

Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemen’s Armed Forces announced they fired a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in Gaza—Israel is now under fire from multiple fronts.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Israel has launched a massive new offensive in Gaza, killing at least 81 Palestinians in the opening wave of attacks and forcing over one million civilians into danger. The IDF has called up 50,000 reservists to expand operations, sparking fears of mass displacement. Hamas vowed to continue its “war of attrition,” while clashes left dozens dead, including fighters and civilians. The U.S. escalated tensions by sanctioning ICC officials over war crime probes, drawing criticism from rights groups and world leaders who warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.
