Trump says Putin ready to make deal on Ukraine
Trump said a second meeting with Putin and Zelensky would address boundary issues, but Zelensky refuses to cede land. PHOTO: FILE US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he thought Vladimir Putin was ready to make a deal on ending his war in Ukraine after the Russian president floated the prospect of a nuclear arms agreement on the eve of their summit in Alaska. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his European allies have intensified their efforts this week to prevent any deal between the US and Russia emerging from Friday's summit that leaves Ukraine vulnerable to future attack. "I think he's going to make a deal," Trump said in a Fox News radio interview, adding that if the meeting went well, he would call Zelenskiy and European leaders afterwards, and that if it went badly, he would not. The aim of Friday's talks with Putin is to set up a second meeting including Ukraine, Trump said, adding: "I don't know that we're going to get an immediate ceasefire." Putin earlier spoke to his most senior ministers and security officials as he prepared for a meeting with Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday that could shape the endgame to the largest war in Europe since World War Two. In televised comments, Putin said the US was "making, in my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict." This was happening, Putin said, "in order to create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, and in Europe, and in the world as a whole - if, by the next stages, we reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons." His comments signalled that Russia will raise nuclear arms control as part of a wide-ranging discussion on security when he sits down with Trump. A Kremlin aide said Putin and Trump would also discuss the "huge untapped potential" for Russia-US economic ties. A senior Eastern European official, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said Putin would try to distract Trump from Ukraine at the talks by offering him possible progress on nuclear arms control or something business-related. "We hope Trump won't be fooled by the Russians; he understands all (these) dangerous things," the official said, adding that Russia's only goal was to avoid any new sanctions and have existing sanctions lifted. Trump said there would be a press conference after the talks, but that he did not know whether it would be joint. He also said there would be "a give and take" on boundaries and land.

Israel faces backlash over Gaza plan
Palestinians check the devastation following an Israeli strike that hit Gaza City's southern al-Zeitoun neighbourhood. Photo: AFP Listen to article Israel's military will "take control" of Gaza City under a new plan approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet, drawing swift criticism from inside the country and abroad. Nearly two years into the Gaza war, Netanyahu faces mounting pressure to secure a truce that would ease famine conditions for the territory's more than two million people and free hostages held by Palestinian militants. Hamas condemned the plan to expand fighting as a "new war crime," while close ally Germany took the unprecedented step of halting certain military exports to Israel over concerns they could be used in Gaza. Under the approved strategy to "defeat" Hamas, the Israeli army "will prepare to take control of Gaza City while distributing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population outside combat zones," Netanyahu's office said. Before the decision, Netanyahu told US network Fox News that Israel wanted a "security perimeter" in Gaza but did not intend to govern it, preferring to hand control to "Arab forces that will govern it properly without threatening us." Netanyahu's office said the cabinet adopted "five principles," including the territory's demilitarisation and creation of an alternative civil administration "neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority". Domestic reactions Opposition leader Yair Lapid denounced the plan as "a disaster that will lead to many other disasters", warning it could endanger hostages and cost Israel diplomatically and financially. The Hostage and Missing Families Forum accused the government of "abandoning" captives. Some Israelis backed the move. "As they take control of Gaza, they will eliminate Hamas completely — maybe not completely, but at least a good percentage," said Chaim Klein, a 26-year-old yeshiva student. On the ground The Israeli army says it controls 75% of the Gaza Strip, mostly along the border. Of the 251 hostages taken during Hamas's 2023 attack, 49 remain in Gaza — including 27 confirmed dead. Gaza residents fear renewed fighting. "They tell us to go south, then back north, and now south again. We are human beings, but no one hears us," said Maysa al-Shanti, a 52-year-old mother of six.

Global outcry as Israel moves to take control of Gaza City

International agencies warn of worsening famine. The UN says Gaza needs at least 600 trucks of aid daily; current deliveries average 70–80. The WHO reports at least 99 deaths from malnutrition this year, likely an undercount. Also Read: Rifts in Israel over full Gaza occupation The Hamas-run health ministry says Israel's offensive has killed at least 61,258 Palestinians since 2023. The 2023 Hamas attack on Israel killed 1,219 people, according to official figures. Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli plan Saudi Arabia rejected Israel's Gaza City takeover plan, calling it 'starvation' and 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians. The foreign ministry 'categorically' condemned Israel's 'brutal practices' in Gaza. Germany halts arms exports Germany will suspend military exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced. The move marks a major policy shift for one of Israel's strongest allies. Merz said it was 'increasingly difficult to understand' how Israel's new plan would help disarm Hamas or free hostages. From October 2023 to May 2025, Germany approved at least €485 million in defence exports to Israel, including firearms, ammunition, and special vehicles. Merz reiterated Israel's right to self-defence but urged a ceasefire and warned against annexing the West Bank. EU urges reversal European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Israel 'must reconsider' its Gaza plan. Belgium summoned Israel's ambassador to protest both the Gaza City plan and West Bank annexation ambitions. Other reactions Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen urged Israel to reverse the decision, calling it 'wrong.' Hamas labelled the plan a 'war crime' and said Israel 'does not care' about the fate of hostages. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk warned the takeover would 'cause more deaths and suffering' and violated an International Court of Justice ruling to end the occupation.
