As over 18 million citizens cast their votes on May 3, 2025, the nation grapples with soaring inflation, housing shortages, and rising interest ratesāall set against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed tariff war.
Opinion polls suggest a narrow edge for Albaneseās Labor Party, but both leaders have warned of possible surprises, evoking memories of the 2019 upset.
In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelenskyās crackdown on the nationās largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trumpās renewed āAmerica Firstā policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?

Israel has firmly rejected Hamas' proposed changes to the Qatari-mediated ceasefire deal, calling them "unacceptable." Despite this, Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed Israelās negotiating team to proceed to Qatar on Sunday for proximity talks, as part of the ongoing U.S.-brokered effort led by President Donald Trump. The original deal envisions a 60-day ceasefire, release of hostages, and negotiations to end the 21-month-long war. Hamas had earlier described its response as āpositive,ā signaling openness to immediate talks. However, Israelās statement indicates a stark gap between the two sides. Trump, who termed the ceasefire proposal as his āfinal offer,ā remains optimistic, though tensions around the edits by Hamas raise serious doubts. The move comes amid intensifying international pressure and rising death tolls in Gaza. The talks in Qatar may be the last viable opportunity to reach a breakthroughāor confirm the collapse of yet another peace effort.TAGS
