U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a $175 billion “Golden Dome” missile defence initiative, drawing inspiration from Israel’s renowned Iron Dome system. Unveiled in the Oval Office, the project aims to deploy advanced U.S. weapons—including space-based systems—to counter long-range missile threats. The system is expected to be fully operational by 2029, though experts suggest delays are likely. Modelled on Israel’s multi-tiered defence that intercepted rockets post-Hamas’ 2023 attack, the Golden Dome underscores Trump’s aggressive defence posture and prioritisation of homeland security. The ambitious plan marks the first U.S. move to position weapons in space for missile interception.

ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFF SHOT DEAD
Two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. The suspect, Elias R., shouted “Free Palestine” during his arrest. Authorities believe the attack was a lone act of antisemitic terrorism. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and global leaders condemned the violence and antisemitism, with Israel boosting security at its embassies worldwide. The incident intensifies scrutiny amid Israel’s ongoing Gaza offensive. U.S. and European officials have vowed justice and expressed solidarity with the victims. The attack reflects a troubling rise in hate crimes globally.

INDIA RESOLVES SLOVENIA’S TREATY OBJECTION
India has diplomatically addressed Slovenia’s concerns regarding suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. Slovenia, a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, questioned India’s decision, emphasizing water as a constitutional right. Through high-level engagements, including meetings between Slovenian officials and India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, India clarified that the suspension targets Pakistan’s support for cross-border terrorism, not water deprivation. Slovenia now better understands India’s position. India also highlighted Pakistan’s obstruction of hydel projects and reiterated its commitment to equitable water sharing. This development underscores India’s efforts to maintain international support while addressing security concerns.

GAZA AID FAILS TO DELIVER
Despite resumed aid shipments into Gaza, the Palestinian Red Crescent reports that supplies have yet to reach civilians due to border delays and security concerns. Over 90 aid trucks remain stuck at Karem Shalom, inspected but undelivered, fueling fears of looting and mob violence. UN agencies cite Israeli military red tape and lawlessness inside Gaza as major hurdles. Starvation deaths, especially among children and the elderly, are rising. Though a few bakeries have restarted, current aid volumes fall far short. Israel’s three-phase plan to control aid distribution faces global criticism for violating humanitarian principles and failing to meet urgent civilian needs.
