Hamas announces it has accepted an Egyptian-Qatari cease-fire proposal

Hamas has accepted an Egyptian-Qatari proposal for a cease-fire to halt the seven-month-long war with Israel in Gaza. The deal follows Israel ordering 100,000 Palestinians to evacuate from Rafah, signaling a potential ground invasion. The cease-fire would take place in stages, with Hamas releasing hostages in exchange for Israeli troop pullbacks from Gaza. Israel's closest allies, including the US, have repeatedly urged Israel not to attack Rafah, raising global alarm over the fate of around 1.4 million Palestinians sheltering there.

What does China's third aircraft carrier's sea trials mean for India

China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, has embarked on its maiden trials, signaling the country's naval expansion to challenge the US. With a focus on testing propulsion and electrical systems, the trials are expected to last two years before the carrier joins the fleet in five years. Fujian is the largest and most advanced Chinese aircraft carrier, equipped with the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) for smoother, more efficient aircraft launches. China's naval modernization is seen as a strategic move to assert dominance in the Indo-Pacific region.
