Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at evidence of mass starvation in Gaza, Thailand striking a cease-fire deal with Cambodia, and potential problems in the U.S.-European Union trade framework.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to propose a plan to begin annexing parts of the Gaza Strip if Hamas doesn't agree to a ceasefire deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly prepared to propose a plan to annex the entire Gaza Strip that has the backing of the Trump administration, signalling the next horrific phase in Israel’s genocide as it also moves forward with annexing the occupied West Bank.

Trump says he's "very disappointed" with Vladimir Putin, and he's shortening the deadline for the Russian leader to agree a ceasefire with Ukraine.

During his Scotland visit, President Trump shortened Russia's Ukraine ceasefire deadline, expressing disappointment with Putin. He also contradicted Israel's claims about Gaza, pledging U.S. food centers to address the starvation crisis.

Israel and the United States on Thursday pulled their diplomats back from negotiating a cease-fire with Hamas, setting back a potential end to the War in Gaza that was believed to be a real possibility just weeks ago.

Only a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump seemed confident a deal was days away that would end the fighting in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and allow aid to flow into an enclave where people are starving to death.
