Ceasefire Tensions Rise in Gaza and Ukraine

Current tensions have escalated with the ceasefire in Gaza collapsing as Israel resumed airstrikes targeting Hamas after a two-month truce. The Israeli military claims these strikes are directed at terrorist infrastructure, while the Gaza Health Ministry reported numerous civilian casualties, including children. The situation is further complicated by ongoing negotiations between President Trump and Russian President Putin regarding a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, yet Russia's preconditions present significant challenges. Despite these difficulties, the U.S. and its allies are exploring plans to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine as part of broader diplomatic efforts.
