The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review.
The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations.
Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt.
The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies.

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that imposing new sanctions on Russia could extend the Ukraine conflict by two more years. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio emphasized the critical diplomatic window the US is currently navigating. While President Trump threatened new sanctions, Rubio stressed that Washington is uniquely positioned to broker talks between Kiev and Moscow. The next week is expected to be pivotal for determining whether negotiations can move forward, as both sides edge closer to—but not quite reaching—a potential breakthrough.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

In a major development, Hamas says it is ready to release all Israeli hostages if a deal can be reached to end the war in Gaza. Senior official Taher Al-Nunu stated that the group seeks a serious prisoner swap, a full Israeli military withdrawal, and unrestricted humanitarian aid. Talks are ongoing in Cairo with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. involved. However, Hamas accuses Israel of stalling negotiations by refusing to commit to a sustainable ceasefire plan. The proposal now includes phased releases backed by U.S. guarantees.
