President Donald Trump is spending $40 million per month to house about 300 migrants at facilities in US-occupied Cuba. Some of the detainees are being held at an infamous George W. Bush-era torture prison.

A 17-year-old from the West Bank died in an Israeli prison, becoming the 63rd Palestinian and first minor to die in detention since October 7, 2023. The youth was held for six months without charges prior to his death.

A new investigation by the New York Times discloses the extent of the US support for the proxy war in Ukraine. One European official said Washington is “part of the kill chain now.”

As Tel Aviv works to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to cleanse the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Mossad is approaching other countries to take in large numbers of Gazans. Trump has said that he wants to send the Palestinians to refugee cities in another country.

The Kremlin says that Russian and US officials are meeting to discuss a “new agreement” to implement the limited Black Sea ceasefire. Moscow has said some sanctions relief is key to the success of the deal.

An Israeli soldier speaking with CBS News said the IDF has committed war crimes in Gaza. Among other offenses, the soldiers said Palestinians were regularly deployed as human shields.

In the hours following an announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a limited truce, Moscow and Kiev made accusations of ceasefire violations.

After holding separate talks with Russian and Ukrainian delegations, the US announced that both sides had agreed to allow commercial shipping through the Black Sea, mirroring a similar arrangement established earlier in the war.
