Quick Glance: Russia and China Veto US Cease-Fire Resolution
- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.
- The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.

- The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.

Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill
- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized on Tuesday that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine's efforts in the war against Russia, even as the U.S. Congress remains stuck due to funding reluctance to send additional weapons to the front.
- The conference took place a week after U.S. defense officials found and utilized $300 million in contract savings to finance a new package of military aid for Ukraine by extracting weapons from Pentagon stocks.
- U.S. leaders had stated in the past three months that they could not take more weapons off the shelves because they lacked the money to replenish the stocks. The Congress has been deadlocked for months over a new $95 billion supplemental bill that includes about $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
- UNESCO indicates that Ukraine requires over a billion dollars to reconstruct its scientific infrastructure.

Quick Glance: Proof Harry, Meghan 'can't be trusted'
- Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to have kept Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the dark about her cancer diagnosis because the duo 'can’t be trusted'.
- New reports suggest the former working royals were not informed in advance of the Princess of Wales’ cancer battle as too much betrayal and subsequent broken trust has transpired over the last few years.
- There’s a deep rift between the brothers, and it is strongly believed that William has not trusted Harry and Meghan with good reason, especially after their problematic behavior towards the royal family.
- According to The Times, Harry and Meghan even found out about Kate’s cancer at the same time as the rest of the world while watching television. It’s believed they were blindsided with the news when Kate revealed her illness in an emotional video shared on Saturday morning.
