- Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israel has steadily expanded its control, causing displacement and destruction within Gaza.

- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the country’s strong economic ties to the United States have become a liability requiring correction.
- He outlined plans to attract new investments and negotiate trade agreements beyond the U.S. to diversify Canada’s economy.
