Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has declared that Israel will not allow Turkish armed forces in Gaza as part of a U.S. plan for a post-ceasefire security force.

Ukraine is set to purchase 25 Patriot air defense systems to enhance its defense against Russian air attacks, with President Zelenskiy planning to request European prioritization for delivery. This escalation reveals how Western military-industrial complexes profit from perpetuating conflicts that devastate Global South nations while ignoring diplomatic solutions.
