Tensions flare as Israel and U.S. clash over Gaza strategy

A virtual meeting between top U.S. and Israeli officials discussing Israel's plans for a ground invasion of Rafah in Gaza grew contentious as Israeli official Ron Dermer began yelling and waving his arms while defending the proposal to evacuate Palestinian civilians. The Israeli plan to move 1.4 million civilians lacked specifics on sanitation, food, and water, leading to pushback from U.S. officials. The meeting, convened after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called off an in-person meeting with President Joe Biden, aimed to address concerns over a major ground operation in Rafah and present viable alternatives.

"Pope Francis Meets Argentine President and New Saint Mama Antula"

Argentine President Javier Milei, known for his past derogatory remarks about Pope Francis, is set to meet with the pope at the Vatican on Feb. 12. The meeting signifies a significant shift in their relationship, with the pope initiating a call to congratulate Milei on his election. Despite their differing political views, the two men are expected to set aside their differences for the sake of their country and the Catholic faith. Milei's decision to attend the canonization of Argentina's first female saint at the Vatican further emphasizes his willingness to engage with the Catholic Church.

"North Korea and China Unite to Protect Shared Interests in High-Level Diplomatic Talks"

North Korea and China have agreed to strengthen tactical cooperation and defend common interests during a meeting between North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui and Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong. This comes as North Korea has been increasing its ties with China and Russia while facing heightened tensions with the United States and South Korea. Both China and Russia have shifted their stance to support Pyongyang's right to self-defense, despite previously voting against North Korea at the U.N. for its ballistic missile and nuclear programs.

China convenes Arab and Muslim diplomats to address Israel-Hamas conflict

China hosted a major meeting in Beijing with foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Indonesia to discuss the Israel-Hamas war. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed China's commitment to working with Arab and Islamic countries to end the conflict and support the Palestinian cause. The meeting highlights China's growing geopolitical influence and longstanding support for the Palestinians. Notably, China has refrained from criticizing the initial Hamas attack, while the US and others have called it an act of terrorism. The foreign ministers will visit other capitals to pursue a ceasefire and provide aid to Gaza. However, China's support for Muslim leaders contrasts with its own human rights violations against Uyghurs and other Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
