🇺🇦 Only Bad Options for Zelensky After Alaska Summit
Ukrainian President Zelensky faces an "impossible bind" ahead of Monday's Washington talks with Trump: risk the US president's wrath or accept territorial concessions for vague security guarantees that could enable Russia's return in years to come. After Trump's Alaska summit with Putin bypassed ceasefire demands and embraced "land swaps," Zelensky must navigate memories of February's bitter White House exchange that briefly halted military aid while seeking clarity on security guarantees and trilateral meeting timing. Trump's special envoy suggested the US could offer "Article 5-like language" to Ukraine, but details remain unclear as Zelensky reaffirmed he won't "give up territory or trade land" despite softening Ukrainian public support and mounting casualties from intensified Russian attacks.

🇮🇱 Huge Israeli Crowds Demand Hostage Deal
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square" and staged a national strike demanding an end to the Gaza war and release of remaining hostages, with organizers warning Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza City risks the lives of around 20 captives still held by Hamas. The protests, which closed roads and led to nearly 40 arrests, came after Israel's war cabinet voted to forcibly displace Gaza City's population, creating what Hamas-run authorities called a "catastrophic" situation in the Zeitoun neighborhood. Netanyahu criticized the demonstrations saying they would "harden Hamas's stance," while hostage mother Einav Zangauker declared the government "has transformed a just war into a pointless war" as Israel plans to displace a million people from Gaza City where 90% of the 2.3 million population has already been displaced.

🇵🇰 Pakistan Floods Kill 337
Climate change-induced flash floods killed at least 337 people in northwestern Pakistan with dozens missing after torrential rains and cloudbursts triggered massive flooding, particularly devastating the mountainous Buner district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Angry residents accused officials of failing to warn them to evacuate, with no alerts broadcast from mosque loudspeakers despite traditional early warning systems, though the government defended its response saying the sudden downpour was too intense for timely alerts. Pakistan has received 50% more rainfall than last year since monsoon season began in June, with over 600 total deaths, while authorities warn of more deluges through Tuesday as climate change intensifies extreme weather in a country producing less than 1% of global emissions but facing devastating consequences.
