A fragile truce in Gaza is on the verge of collapse as Israel sets new conditions for humanitarian aid. The situation has been exacerbated by the suspension of US aid to Ukraine, which has sparked widespread criticism. Meanwhile, Arab leaders have proposed an alternative plan for Gaza reconstruction, excluding Hamas from future governance. The Middle East is not the only region facing challenges, as a rare cyclone threatens millions on Australia's east coast. In Europe, Serbian MPs have tossed smoke grenades in parliament, and Pope Francis is in stable condition after episodes of respiratory failure. The US has rejected an alternative Gaza reconstruction plan proposed by Arab leaders, further complicating the situation. Global tensions are also rising due to trade wars, with China vowing to "fight till the end" against US tariffs. The tariffs could plunge Mexico and Canada into a recession, according to experts. Additionally, a record number of Americans have applied for UK citizenship after the US presidential re-election, highlighting the growing uncertainty in global politics.
