🇺🇸🇺🇦 U.S. officials believe Ukraine’s weekend drone strike damaged up to 20 Russian warplanes and destroyed around 10 of them — about half the number claimed by Kyiv. Despite the discrepancy, the operation is seen as highly significant. One official warned it may push Russia toward a harsher stance in U.S.-brokered peace talks. The attack, reportedly involving 117 drones, targeted four Russian airbases and caused extensive damage, including to strategic bombers and reconnaissance planes.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 NATO has approved its largest rearmament plan since the Cold War to significantly enhance alliance defense amid rising security concerns, especially regarding Russia. According to Reuters, the plan sets new military targets requiring member states to increase troop numbers, modernize weapons systems, and boost defense budgets. Germany is expected to add 50,000–60,000 troops to meet these goals.

The move comes after growing U.S. pressure, with former President Donald Trump calling for allies to spend up to 5% of GDP on defense—3.5% for military and 1.5% for support. NATO officials stress these measures are crucial for rapid deployment, air defense, and long-range strike capabilities to deter threats on Europe’s eastern front.

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's government is facing significant internal pressure as the Knesset prepares to reconvene after its summer recess.

The opposition party Yesh Atid has introduced a motion to dissolve the parliament, citing mounting tensions within the ruling coalition. Central to the discord is a dispute over military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jewish men, which has led to boycotts by key coalition members, including United Torah Judaism and Shas. These parties, holding a combined 18 seats, have threatened to withdraw support unless their demands are met, potentially triggering early elections.

Despite Netanyahu's efforts to negotiate a resolution, analysts suggest that the coalition's slim majority and the unresolved connoscription issue may lead to its collapse.
