Trump warns Russia he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn’t settle war soon

President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Russia that he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn't settle its war there soon — suggesting that he could be ready to increase the pressure on Vladimir Putin's government using a key weapons system. "I might say, 'Look: if this war is not going to get settled, I'm going to send them Tomahawks," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to Israel. "The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that."

A weakened and isolated Hamas faces pressure to accept Trump’s peace plan for Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have finally outmaneuvered Hamas. After facing months of genocide accusations, pariah status and global pressure to halt the war in Gaza, Netanyahu has agreed on a ceasefire plan with US President Donald Trump.

Trump criticises recognition of Palestine and hits out at UN in General Assembly speech

US President Donald Trump has criticised the decision by Australia and other allies to recognise the state of Palestine, while hitting out at the United Nations itself in his first speech to the global body in five years. He was speaking a day after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined leaders from France, the UK, Belgium and several other countries in formally announcing or confirming their support for a Palestinian state in a move aimed at galvanising support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. Without naming the individual countries, Trump accused them of rewarding Hamas for the deadly October 7 attacks.

Massive fireball erupts as Israeli missiles strike Gaza high-rises

The Israeli military struck multiple high-rise buildings in Gaza City on Sunday, after warning people to leave several neighbourhoods, in the latest round of destruction since Israel ordered a complete evacuation of the city earlier this week. Israel's assault on Gaza City appeared to be accelerating, with the military issuing evacuation orders for several towers in Gaza City within just a few hours on Sunday morning. The strikes came ahead of a meeting called by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss efforts to avoid harming the hostages still held in Gaza when the Israeli military undertakes a ground operation planned to take control of Gaza City, according to a source familiar with the matter. Flames erupt from a building following an Israeli military ...

Romania condemns ‘irresponsible’ Moscow after Russian drone breaches its airspace

Romania has condemned Moscow's "irresponsible actions" after alleging that a Russian drone breached Romanian airspace during an attack on neighbouring Ukraine, prompting Bucharest to scramble fighter jets. The Russian drone used in attacks on Ukraine entered Romanian airspace at 6.05pm on Saturday (1.05am Sunday AEST), according to Romania's defence ministry.
