🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸⚡️ — WATCH: President Trump has released a video statement regarding Hamas' positive response to his peace plan for Gaza and calls it a "very special day" and "unprecedented":

I want to thank the countries that helped me put this together. Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and so many others. So many people fought so hard.

This is a big day. We'll see how it all turns out. We have to get the final word down and concrete.

Very importantly, I look forward to having the hostages come home to their parents and having some of the hostages, unfortunately, you know the condition they're in, come home likewise to their parents because their parents wanted them just as much as though that young man or young woman were alive. So I just want to let you know that this is a very special day, maybe unprecedented in many ways. It is unprecedented.

But thank you all and thank you all to those great countries that helped. We were given a tremendous amount of help. Everybody was unified in wanting this war to end and seeing peace in the Middle East.

And we're very close to achieving that. Thank you all and everybody will be treated fairly.

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 — Prime Minister Starmer praises Hamas's response towards President Trump's peace deal, and praises Trump for his efforts.

🇮🇱🕊🇵🇸 — Israeli Army Radio reports that the IDF has been ordered to halt the operation to conquer Gaza City following Trump's announcement.

🇵🇸🇪🇬 — Egyptian bulldozers crossed into Gaza via Rafah, seen moving along Salah al-Din Street towards central Gaza.

➡️The equipment is preparing a new displacement camp near the Al-Bureij camp.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 — President Trump commends Israel for halting its bombing for a Hamas hostage release and peace deal, and calls on Hamas to move quickly, adding he won't accept any delay or any outcome "where Gaza poses a threat again".

It is worth noting that, earlier today, a senior official for Israel told Israel Hayom that the IDF was only stopping the bombing to allow Hamas to easily release the hostages, not for a broader peace deal yet.

Note:
⚡️🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 - The airstrikes and artillery bombardment on Gaza did not truly stop.

One strike in particular killed 10, including children, in northern Gaza's 'AlTuffah'.

Atleast 30 have been killed since the morning.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 China's newest aircraft carrier, Fujian (18), sailed south to Sanya and was spotted alongside CNS Shandong (17) for the first time.

After transiting the Taiwan Strait in mid-September, Fujian completed sea trials and integration tests in the South China Sea before its upcoming commissioning. A notable uptick in PLA air and naval activity coincided with the southern voyage and training ops.

🇺🇸💸 It’s not a silent recession.

It’s just that the stock market, Fed, Administration, and Congress are so disconnected from Main Street that they have zero idea that the economy is crumbling.

And because of this disconnect, it means that there is no rescue package coming.

🇮🇷🇷🇺NEW: A Russian document confirms an order of 48 Su-35 fighter jets by Iran.

The document from Rostec Corporation, obtained via a cyberattack, shows that Iran reportedly placed an order for 48 Su-35 jets (agency's code 364 corresponds to Iran.)

The contract period is 2026-2028. The advance payment amount is 15%.

🇹🇼🇷🇺🛢 Taiwan became the largest importer of Russian oil in 2025

They purchased oil worth $1.3 billion, increasing the average monthly import volume sixfold compared to 2022.

Taiwan has spent $11.2 billion on Russian fuel since 2022, which is 220 times more than its aid to Ukraine

🇺🇦🇷🇺 In Ukraine, the frontline has disappeared from the battlefield. Instead there is a “kill-zone” - a strip with width ranging from 500 m up to 6–7 km, sometimes even 10 km, where Ukrainian and Russian dugouts and shelters are mixed together, and called “firing positions” in official reports.

A so-called grey zone is a 20–30 km strip between Ukrainian main forces and the Russian forces, which is constantly monitored by reconnaissance UAVs and fired upon by both sides. The few kilometers of that strip closest to the Russian positions - that’s no longer a gray zone but a kill-zone, where a person, whether military or civilian, is constantly playing hide-and-seek with death.

🇻🇪⚔️🇺🇸 Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean is aimed at Venezuela’s oil, gas, and gold reserves, which are among the largest in the world.

He accuses Washington of creating “Hollywood stories” about narco-trafficking to cast him as the villain.

Maduro insists it is all a pretext to justify U.S. intervention.
