An Italian magazine cover featuring a photograph of an armed Israeli settler grinning at a distressed Palestinian woman under the title “The Abuse” has caused a diplomatic backlash from Israel. The magazine issue explores the expansion of settlements and settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
During Israel’s war on Iran, the Israeli government approved massive land grab orders, the establishment of 34 new illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank and lethal settler attacks increased dramatically.
This has a direct effect on Palestinians and how they carry out something as ordinary as driving in their own land.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports.

At least four people have been killed and 20 others wounded in a shooting at a secondary school in the southern province of Kahramanmaras, Turkiye. Al Jazeera's Sinem Koseoglu reported from Istanbul that the assailant, a 13-year-old student, entered the school building with five pistols and seven magazines — presumed to have been obtained through his retired police officer father — and began randomly firing in two classrooms, killing a teacher and three others. The incident marks the second school shooting in two days, following a similar attack on Tuesday in Sanliurfa's Siverek district where an 18-year-old former student opened fire with a shotgun, wounding 16 people before killing himself. While Turkiye has strict gun laws, access to weapons through family members with police or military connections has become a growing concern. Social media is now flooded with reactions, with many Turks questioning school safety and the psychological impact of online content on teenagers. The interior ministry had recently been studying potential restrictions on social media for teenage users.

Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, says the Trump administration appears eager to secure a deal with Iran despite tensions over uranium enrichment and the Strait of Hormuz blockade. He suggests both sides may be posturing whilst negotiating behind the scenes, with reported American flexibility on Iran's enrichment rights pointing to possible compromise. Doyle warns that pressuring Iran through blockades has historically proven ineffective and risks alienating US allies in Asia.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees urged urgent de-escalation and an end to the war through a genuine, peaceful settlement, warning Lebanon’s resilience has limits.
Gulf states are seeking to ensure their security concerns are included in Pakistan-mediated US–Iran talks, as regional tensions linked to the war involving the US-Israeli war on Iran continue to drive diplomatic efforts across the Gulf. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari says the Gulf is “not just part of the solution, but an essential element to any solution,” stressing close coordination with mediators and international partners.
Officials say Gulf countries are not directly participating in the talks but remain engaged through diplomatic channels, warning that recent hostilities have hit critical infrastructure. The International Energy Agency reports more than 80 oil facilities, including production and storage sites, have been struck, while Kuwait has seen more than half a dozen water desalination plants damaged, raising concerns over water security.
There is concern in the Gulf over the risk of renewed fighting, with officials stressing there is “no appetite for a resumption of hostilities” and no military solution to the crisis, as states push for a comprehensive diplomatic deal that includes the security concerns of all sides, including Iran.
However, Gulf states also fear external actors could undermine diplomatic efforts, following regional criticism of Israeli air strikes in Lebanon, as they continue to call for protection of energy routes and stability in the Strait of Hormuz.

A far-right Polish lawmaker has sparked outrage after displaying an Israeli flag depicting a swastika in place of the Star of David during a parliamentary session. Konrad Berkowicz was interrupted at the podium by lawmakers as he labelled Israel the “new Third Reich” over its actions in Gaza.
Israel’s ambassador to the US has held talks with his Lebanese counterpart. But as a pro-settler 'activist' and former soldier who took part in invading Lebanon, critics say Yechiel Leiter is a problematic negotiator.

The International Monetary Fund says the US-Israel war on Iran is already weighing on the global economy.
Officials say even if the war ends now, global growth will still decline slightly this year.
In a prolonged scenario, with further damage to energy infrastructure, growth could slow to around 2 percent.
Inflation may also rise sharply, potentially exceeding 6 percent next year.
The IMF warns tighter financial conditions could deepen the slowdown, requiring monetary and fiscal intervention.
Oil-producing countries in the region are expected to face significant disruption due to the war’s impact on energy supplies.
Developing nations are likely to be hit hardest, with the economic impact nearly twice as severe as in the United States.

The Gulf's traditional appeal as a safe haven for global wealth is being challenged by the war on Iran, prompting some of the world's wealthiest investors to relocate capital to Asia. Financial hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong are seeing increased interest, with lawyers reporting three times more enquiries about moving money and some investors transferring as much as $100 million in single transactions. While ratings agencies say there is no clear evidence yet of major capital flight from the Gulf, they warn that prolonged conflict could accelerate wealth flows to Asia, potentially affecting property prices and living costs.

Palestinians in Gaza recorded bloodied victims of an Israeli strike on the Shati refugee camp being rushed to a medical facility. Several people were killed in the Tuesday night attack.
Crowds from the Bangladeshi community in Barcelona celebrated the approval of a mass amnesty programme which will regularise over half a million migrants in Spain. The programme paves the way for migrants in the country without authorisation to apply for legal status.
Surveillance footage shows the moment a teenage gunman opened fire with shotgun inside a high school in Turkiye’s Siverek on Tuesday. The attack wounded 16 people. The suspect, identified as a former student, later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In this episode of This is America, hosted by Anna Burns‑Francis, Al Jazeera looks ahead to the final days of the US–Iran ceasefire and asks what really comes next after 21 hours of high‑stakes talks in Islamabad collapsed with no deal.
Alan Fisher joins us from the White House to unpack the Trump administration’s red lines and political calculations. He explains how the president’s insistence that “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon” collides with a deep reluctance to be drawn into a long, messy negotiation that could mirror – or exceed – the two‑year process that produced the 2015 nuclear deal. Alan explores the tension between an expectation in Washington that Iran should now “capitulate”, and an Iranian view that it has not been defeated, will not surrender sovereign rights and wants to bargain rather than accept a take‑it‑or‑leave‑it demand to terminate its nuclear programme forever.
From the State Department, Mike Hanna reports on how diplomatic norms have been upended. Instead of the traditional model where the Secretary of State leads, the vice president has been elevated as chief negotiator. Mike shows how Islamabad’s failure exposed the gap between maximalist opening positions and any realistic landing zone, and what sidelining the professional diplomatic machinery means for American credibility as mediators in Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey scramble to keep the door to further talks open.
Rosalind Jordan presents a detailed package on the military and strategic options now on the table. She explains the launch of a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and a partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, even as Iran maintains its own restrictions on the chokepoint. Rosalind lays out scenarios ranging from renewed limited strikes and broader bombing campaigns to potential operations against Kharg Island – Iran’s main oil terminal – and even ground moves to seize enriched uranium stockpiles. She highlights the risks: possible US casualties, regional escalation, legal challenges over “piracy” at sea and the danger that Washington appears to be “re‑opening” a vital waterway by closing it further.
In the studio, former US Ambassador and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Richard Schmierer and former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense David Sedney join Anna Burns‑Francis to map the broader strategic picture. Schmierer looks at why a single 21‑hour meeting was never likely to resolve decades of mistrust and sanctions, and why any durable settlement will require phased steps on nuclear limits, sanctions relief and regional behaviour. Sedney focuses on the downside of renewed war: severe shocks to energy and fertiliser supplies, knock‑on effects for semiconductor production, rising inflation and the risk that a conflict entered without a clear exit plan further damages US alliances while leaving control of Hormuz contested for years.
Heidi Zhou‑Castro examines the domestic and economic fallout. Reporting from Washington, she tracks growing unease over what some analysts call an “escalation trap”: a dual blockade of Hormuz that could deepen the largest energy disruption in modern times, drive up costs for households and fuel political anger at a war most Americans already oppose. Heidi shows how partisan media frame the choice between “finishing the job” against Iran and backing away from maximalist demands that may be impossible to enforce without a far bigger conflict.
Finally, Alex Baird surveys the media and online debate as the ceasefire clock ticks down. He tracks hawkish calls for renewed strikes and even an invasion of key Iranian sites, more cautious voices urging an extension of the truce and a return to back‑channel diplomacy, and sceptical commentary warning that a blockade layered on a blockade could backfire strategically. As headlines, satire and social media collide, Alex shows how public confusion over blockades, red lines and deadlines reflects a deeper uncertainty about what the administration’s endgame really is.
This is America asks whether the United States will choose a risky return to war, an uneasy long negotiation, or a mix of pressure and phased compromise – and whether, in the final week of the ceasefire, there is still time to move from collapsing talks and competing blockades toward a more stable path away from the brink.

In this episode of This is America, hosted by Anna Burns‑Francis, Al Jazeera looks ahead to the final days of the US–Iran ceasefire and asks what really comes next after 21 hours of high‑stakes talks in Islamabad collapsed with no deal.
Alan Fisher joins us from the White House to unpack the Trump administration’s red lines and political calculations. He explains how the president’s insistence that “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon” collides with a deep reluctance to be drawn into a long, messy negotiation that could mirror – or exceed – the two‑year process that produced the 2015 nuclear deal. Alan explores the tension between an expectation in Washington that Iran should now “capitulate”, and an Iranian view that it has not been defeated, will not surrender sovereign rights and wants to bargain rather than accept a take‑it‑or‑leave‑it demand to terminate its nuclear programme forever.

With the US military blockade of Iranian ports now in force, global energy markets are already reacting. Al Jazeera’s Marah Rayan breaks down why it's deepening an energy crisis that is driving up costs for everyone.
The US military says no ships have passed its blockade of Iran's southern coast over the past 24 hours.
It says six merchant vessels complied with their orders to turn around.
Hundreds of vessels remain stuck, concerned by threats of attack and sea mines laid by Iran.
The US military says it's working to support freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz from non-Iranian ports.
Alexandru Hudisteanu is a military and diplomatic analyst with expertise in maritime security. He explains how the blockade is being enforced beyond the Strait of Hormuz and highlights the need to monitor ship movements in the coming days to assess its impact. Safe passage for commercial vessels remains uncertain.

The United States, regarded as the world's top superpower, has been the subject of heated discussions these days over its global image. But views of the US have been worsening for years. Why is that? Is it about the identity of its president, its domestic political situation, or its foreign policy and relations with allies?

Now, the United States is the one shutting the Strait of Hormuz, even as President Donald Trump was calling for it to reopen just a few days ago. He said ships entering or leaving Iranian ports would be stopped by the navy after talks between Tehran and Washington fell apart.
However, this is not just about a blockade. Iran is tightening its grip on the strait, demanding the right to impose tolls on ships passing through it.
The ripple effects could go beyond energy and trade flows, challenging the dominance of the US dollar in global shipping.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says it’s “highly probable” talks to end the US-Israel war on Iran will resume. He spoke after meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.
