Tensions have flared up in the South China Sea following a clash between the China Coast Guard and a Filipino resupply mission, and China’s Foreign Minister has urged the smaller nation to cooperate with Beijing

China’s top diplomat Wang Yi has urged the Philippines to work with Beijing to resolve renewed tensions over a clash between the China Coast Guard and a Filipino resupply mission.

Taking place in the South China Sea, the clash saw the Chinese vessel fire water cannons at the Filipino ship carrying military supplies.

Wang, who recently replaced Qin Gang as Foreign Minister in unusual circumstances, has tried to downplay the situation.

But he has also suggested that “black hands” in the U.S. were trying to undermine regional stability.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
