Negotiations in the Middle East took a sharp turn today as Hamas announced it has accepted a US-backed proposal to disarm in stages in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. While President Trump hailed the move as a historic breakthrough, the reaction on the ground remains muted; Israeli officials expressed deep skepticism, and residents in Gaza reported that airstrikes continued despite the announcement. Meanwhile, the conflict's regional reach widened as Iran launched retaliatory strikes against US assets at a base in Kuwait, sending oil prices higher as shipowners increasingly avoid the Strait of Hormuz.

In Europe, a massive migration crisis is unfolding at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. An estimated 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco in a single day, prompted by social media rumors and trafficking networks, leading Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to deploy the military and condemn the influx as a violation of territorial integrity. The surge has already turned deadly, with at least 57 people reported drowned or killed during the crossing, further straining a continent already battling record-breaking wildfires and drought-driven energy shortages.
