A ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants could be the beginning of the end for violence in Gaza

Weapons from both sides were fired minutes before an overnight ceasefire came into effect in Gaza.

The Egypt-brokered deal saw no further violence reported overnight.

At least 44 people have died since the conflict erupted again in May last year.

“Our fight is not with the people of Gaza. Islamic Jihad is an Iranian proxy that wants to destroy the State of Israel and kill innocent Israelis. The head of Islamic Jihad is in Tehran as we speak. We will do whatever it takes to defend our people.”
YAIR Lapid, PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL

Meanwhile, the U.S. and United Nations continue to urge both sides to observe the ceasefire and work towards peace.

U.S. President Joe Biden said all parties need “to fully implement [it] and to ensure fuel and humanitarian supplies are flowing into Gaza”.

President Biden is also urging for an investigation into the deaths of civilians.

The leader of the Islamic Jihad’s operations in southern Gaza, Khaled Mansour, was killed over the weekend. Israel believes he is responsible for several acts of terror against Israelis.

“We appreciate the Egyptian efforts that had been exerted to end the Israeli aggression against our people,” a spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad said.

However, Israeli officials believe they have “the right to respond strongly” if the ceasefire is violated.

Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.

Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.

Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.

As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.

Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.

The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.

However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
