Explosion at a wedding party in southern Iran: four dead, suspected to be US ammunition

An explosion at a wedding party in Kuhestak, southern Iran, killed four people and injured at least 68, human rights groups said. Weapons experts analyzed images and largely ruled out a ricochet or an Iranian missile, with three out of four experts citing a U.S.-made weapon as the likely cause. US President JD Vance confirmed that the US is investigating the incident.

Ben-Gvir plans to relocate two million Palestinians from Gaza

Before the parliamentary elections, Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir presented a plan to relocate two million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip within seven years. He stressed that the relocation was voluntary, even though international experts and UN reports classify forced relocation as a war crime. Defense Secretary Katz also supports the idea, while Trump previously dropped similar proposals due to international opposition.

Loan of the Bayeux Carpet to London: symbol of German-French distance and British-French rapprochement

France's loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to London is presented as a symbol of deepening Anglo-French relations, at the same time that Franco-German relations have cooled. The carpet commemorates the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and serves as a metaphor for current issues such as migration across the English Channel and Britain's rapprochement with the EU. Macron symbolically handed the carpet over to King Charles III. and Prime Minister Andrew Burnham, both emphasizing their shared future. The transport took place through the Eurotunnel under high security precautions. In parallel, France and Britain are strengthening their cooperation on international issues, while Germany and France are becoming estranged, underpinned by a successful film about de Gaulle and Churchill.
