Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to propose a full reoccupation of Gaza, aiming to defeat Hamas completely. The plan faces strong opposition from military leaders and hostage families, who fear it could endanger the remaining captives, according to BBC.

Public support is shifting, with most Israelis favoring a ceasefire deal. International allies and humanitarian groups warn of worsening conditions, as 90 percent of Gaza’s population remains displaced and in crisis.

Critics say the move risks escalating the conflict further, while pressure grows globally for a political solution, including recognition of a Palestinian state, BBC reported.

NASA is accelerating plans to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, aiming to support future human settlements. The push comes amid rising global competition, with China and Russia planning a similar station by 2035, according to BBC.

Nuclear power is seen as the most reliable option for continuous energy on the Moon, where long nights make solar power impractical. Experts say building even a small lunar base would require far more power than solar arrays alone can provide.

However, the plan faces challenges, including major NASA budget cuts and delays in the Artemis missions. Safety concerns over launching radioactive material and questions about the mission’s political motivations have also been raised, BBC reported.

Some scientists worry the Moon could become a stage for geopolitical rivalry rather than international cooperation.

A cloudburst in northern Indian state of Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district triggered flash floods in Dharali village, leaving several people feared trapped under debris, BBC reported.

The sudden downpour around 1:30 PM (local time) swelled the Kheerganga river, sending muddy water surging through roads and buildings. The ancient Kalpkedar temple is also believed to be damaged.

Rescue teams, including the army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police, are on the ground, but ongoing rain and poor connectivity are slowing efforts, according to BBC.

Dharali, a popular tourist spot with hotels and restaurants, was hit hard. Eyewitnesses said the surge came so fast that people had no time to escape.

Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has warned that continued violence in Gaza risks leaving “no Palestine left to recognize,” as public anger grows over the humanitarian crisis.

Following a mass protest in Sydney, where hundreds of thousands rallied for a Gaza ceasefire, Wong said the government shares the public’s desire for peace but stopped short of announcing new actions like sanctions, Al Jazeera reported.

Australia has sanctioned two far-right Israeli ministers and extremist settlers but has yet to recognize Palestinian statehood, despite growing international support for it. Wong reaffirmed that recognition is “a matter of when, not if.”

Prime Minister Albanese, who recently spoke with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, is seeking talks with Israeli PM Netanyahu, facing pressure to suspend arms trade and take a firmer stance, according to Al Jazeera.
