Frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, former US President Donald Trump has issued a 50-day ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine, warning of imposing 100% sanctions on Russia if hostilities continue. In a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump reportedly asked whether Ukraine could strike Moscow and St. Petersburg, to which Zelensky responded affirmatively if supplied with adequate weapons. Trump also pledged to provide Ukraine with the Patriot missile defense system. Meanwhile, Russia warned that Trump’s aggressive rhetoric could prolong the war and escalate tensions. Analysts believe Trump’s shift in strategy stems from failed negotiations and Putin’s stubborn stance.

For nearly two years, Gaza’s Mediterranean coast was the sole source of food, livelihood, and refuge for its people amid conflict. Recently, the Israeli military declared a total ban on Palestinians entering the sea for fishing, swimming, or diving. This move, described by Gaza’s fishermen as an economic and psychological weapon, eliminates their last safe haven. Many fishermen fear this restriction threatens not only their survival but also a centuries-old cultural heritage tied to the sea.
