India accuses the U.S. and EU of “double standards”...
India accuses the U.S. and EU of “double standards” over trade with Russia after President Donald Trump ordered a tariff hike on Indian goods to 50%, with an additional 25% to apply 21 days after August 7, citing India’s Russian oil imports. New Delhi noted the EU traded €67.5 billion with Russia in 2024, including record LNG imports, while the U.S. continued importing Russian uranium, palladium, fertilisers, and chemicals. India’s foreign ministry said it was “unjustified to target India alone” while others maintain significant trade with Moscow.

Barbary lion cubs part of a mission...
Four rare Barbary lion cubs—three females and one male—will soon leave Safari Park Dvůr Králové in the Czech Republic for other zoos, including Israel’s Beersheba Zoo, as part of an international breeding programme for the critically endangered subspecies. Once widespread across North Africa, Barbary lions were declared extinct in the wild by the 1960s, with fewer than 200 now in captivity. Talks with Moroccan authorities have opened the door to a possible reintroduction in the Atlas Mountains, with a conference planned later this year or early 2026 to assess feasibility.

Israeli military to takeover Gaza City...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won cabinet approval for a military takeover of Gaza City, framing it as the final phase to defeat Hamas and recover the last 50 hostages after 22 months of war. The plan, requiring six army divisions, aims to seize the Hamas stronghold while providing aid outside combat zones. Gaza City, home to up to 1 million civilians, has so far avoided large-scale ground incursions. The move comes amid deep international criticism over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, with over 61,000 Palestinians reported killed and half a million facing starvation.

Armenia and Azerbaijan sign a peace deal...
Armenia and Azerbaijan have signed a U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington, hailed by many as a historic step toward ending decades of conflict over Karabakh. The agreement, signed by leaders Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev in the presence of President Donald Trump, builds on March’s negotiated text and affirms mutual recognition of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and 1991 borders. While Russia, Georgia’s leadership, and others welcomed the deal, Iran vowed to block a planned Caucasus corridor, citing border security concerns. The pact follows Azerbaijan’s 2023 military reclaiming of Karabakh and is seen as opening a new era of regional stability.However, the agreement, aimed at ending decades of conflict, includes a proposed corridor in the Caucasus that Iran has vowed to block, citing concerns about the potential adverse effects of any foreign intervention near its borders.
